Medicine plays an important part in the treatment of injuries and illnesses. Perhaps, you have noticed the vast array of medicat

ions behind the pharmacist's counter or on the shelf at your local grocery store. The FDA makes sure that each of these medications really works, even though there may be some unpleasant side effects. Why do people take these drugs despite the chance of these side effects?

Answer:

the answer is The benefits of the medications are greater than the possible side effects.

Explanation:

It has always been known that medications, whether for the indicated use, will present a series of side effects that may go against the user's improvement; That is why it is necessary for the doctor to always take into account the real benefits that he can achieve with a certain medication and if these benefits are greater than the possible side effects that may endanger the patient's life. It is important that there is always a control on the use of medications every certain time, to know if it meets the requirements established for its consumption.

Jennifer's physician suspects she may have an ulcer in the _______, which is the first section of her small intestine.
Juliette [100K]
<span>Jennifer's physician suspects she may have an ulcer in the _duodenum_, which is the first section of her small intestine.
The small intestine connects directly to the stomach via the pyloric sphincter. A peptic ulcer involves the spilling of very acidic stomach juice into the duodenum, which is the closest portion of the small intestine to the stomach. This can present as epigastric pain (in the upper center abdomen, just below the xiphoid process, or lower portion of the sternum). Usually it is brought on by ingesting acidic or spicy liquids, alcohol, or after going several hours without eating. Those ingestions can ramp up gastric acid production, and having nothing in the stomach allows pure acid to spill into the duodenum, which irritates an already eroded mucosal epithelium. Eating non-acidic, non-spicy foods like bread or milk helps to alleviate the pain by soaking up the acid in the stomach (bread) or neutralizing some of it (milk). But an empty stomach poses the largest risk of irritation. Also the epigastric region hones the pain in on the duodenum, since it crosses midline from the left upper abdomen (stomach) towards the right side as it continues on. If it were acutely painful in only the left upper quadrant (LUQ) of the abdomen, it would almost assuredly be gastritis or a gastric ulcer (gastro- meaning stomach).</span>
