Description
Discover the most recent developments concerning endoscopic capsules, differentiating the technical aspects and indications for both the small intestine and the colon"
Inflammatory bowel disease shows a very varied clinical expression, so much so that probably no two patients are alike, but rather the behavior of the disease is subject to different conditioning factors. The two paradigmatic entities of this group of diseases are ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease. Although they share some similarities, they are absolutely independent entities with completely different distribution, evolution and response to treatment.
Due to the diagnostic and therapeutic challenge that this represents, specialists in the field are forced to find new treatments and updates that can make a fundamental difference in their daily work. For this reason, this postgraduate diploma was born, where the clinical differences between both entities are emphasized. Similarly, certain systemic diseases, such as Beçhet's disease, rheumatoid arthritis or systemic lupus erythematosus may have intestinal involvement that resembles and is confused with inflammatory bowel disease. This whole set is complicated, and we find overlapping syndromes in which it is not so well-defined what type of specific disease is involved.
The agenda covers, precisely, the update of available diagnostic methods, delving into the direct visualization of the digestive tract, endoscopic dilatation or corticosteroid injection, among others. Therefore, specialists will have access to a wide field of knowledge in the clinical and diagnostic fields, with a multitude of multimedia resources that include real and simulated cases, practical examples, self-knowledge exercises and videos in detail for each topic covered.
A unique academic opportunity to obtain a reliable update on everything related to Clinical and Diagnostic Inflammatory Digestive Diseases. In addition, its 100% online format allows an unusual adaptability to all kinds of responsibilities and professional schedules, being compatible with even the most demanding professional calendars.

Postgraduate Diploma in Clinical and Diagnostic in Inflammatory Digestive Diseases
.
Clinical and diagnosis in inflammatory digestive diseases (IDD) refers to the medical evaluation and diagnosis of a number of chronic inflammatory diseases of the digestive tract, such as Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis. Clinical and diagnostic workup in inflammatory digestive diseases involves a thorough and comprehensive evaluation by physicians specializing in DID, including history taking, physical examination, laboratory tests and imaging studies, in order to establish an accurate diagnosis and an appropriate treatment plan for the patient.
The DID clinic includes taking a history from the patient, performing a physical examination, an imaging evaluation such as ultrasound, CT and barium enema, or upper or lower GI endoscopy. Symptoms of these diseases include abdominal pain, chronic diarrhea, bleeding and weight loss, so it is important to perform a thorough evaluation in order to make an accurate diagnosis.
Diagnosis is based primarily on a combination of clinical, endoscopic and laboratory findings. Blood tests can be helpful in identifying signs of inflammation and anemia, while stool tests can rule out gastrointestinal infections. Digestive imaging and endoscopy help localize and evaluate disease involvement in the digestive tract.
The diagnosis of DID can be a complex process and may require the development of an individualized treatment plan. EID specialists will work as a team to evaluate and establish a therapeutic plan, which may include medications, specific diet and in advanced cases, surgery as a last resort.
This virtual academic program seeks to provide students with comprehensive clinical and diagnostic training in inflammatory digestive diseases. Students will learn about the basic concepts and typologies of EID, its risk factors and epidemiology. In addition, they will be taught about pathophysiology, clinical manifestations, complications and diagnostic methods and imaging techniques.
