Dr. David Stern's Expert Corner -
Moving on from last month's consideration of problems in the upper gastrointestinal tract,
the next g.i. problem I will discuss is ulcer disease. Peptic ulcers are open sores that develop on
the lining of the stomach or on the lining of the duodenum, the first part of the small intestine.
They can cause discomfort, pain, and bleeding. These ulcers form when stomach acid erodes
the lining of the digestive tract. Bacterial infection may cause them or they may result from the
use of pain relievers known as NSAIDS (nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medication).
NSAIDS i
nclude aspirin, ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin, etc.) and naproxen. (Aleve). Other agents, such as
steroids, (Prednisone) can also cause ulcers.
Before 1982, it was thought that ulcer disease was related to overproduction of stomach
acid and stress, so treatments were devoted to controlling these presumed risk factors. In 1982,
Dr. Barry Marshall discovered that peptic ulcer disease was primarily caused by Helicobacter
pylori, a bacterium with affinity for acidic environments such as the stomach. He won the
Nobel Prize in Medicine for this discovery. Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) is a type of bacteria
that lives in the digestive tract. It is very common and may reside in as many as 50% of people.
Most people who have H. pylori do not develop ulcers, but some do. Problems occur because
the bacteria can cause an increase in the amount of stomach acid produced, inflammation of
the lining of the digestive tract, and breakdown of the protective gastric mucous layer.
Once the presence of an ulcer is documented, usually with upper endoscopy or barium UGI
series, appropriate therapy depends upon determination if H. pylori is present.
The bacterium can be found through a test of blood, breath, or stool. If H. pylori is present,
effective treatment includes the use of several medications, usually including two antibiotics
and an acid-suppressing medication. Therapy usually takes two weeks. If H. pylori testing is
negative, treatment includes a medication that reduces acid production and complete
avoidance of NSAIDS. In both treatment plans, the patient should stop smoking
and limit alcohol consumption.
Several people have contacted me and asked that I discuss Clostridium difficile infection of
the colon. That will be the topic next month.
Dr. Stern serves as the Medical Director of ONEgeneration's Adult Day Healthcare Program. He reviews participant care plans and makes recommendations for enhanced care. If you have ideas for a future article topics please contact ONEgeneration. Dr. Stern is available as needed for consultation on medical concerns

SENIOR STORY OF THE MONTH
|
|
Nasser Soufi was volunteering at the Babylon Persian Center but was told he was too young and was referred to ONEgeneration. Born in Iran, Nasser worked for a travel agency for many years. After the Iranian revolution, Nasser and his family moved to France to work for his Father-in-law's plastic business. After some time in France, Nasser and his family came to the United States where he worked many jobs. He has been with ONEgeneration for almost 4 years now and is a man of many talents. When he is at the center he participates in the Persian class with his friends where they talk about anything and everything. Nasser has also stepped up as a volunteer by helping distribute groceries each month with the LA Food Bank. When he is not here, he likes to play pool at the Wilkinson Center, cards, backgammon and enjoys walking. Other than that, he loves to spend time with his children and grandchildren. Nasser is truly a pleasure to talk to and such a sweetheart! Thank you Nasser for all you do!

Documentary Film & Discussion
Monday 1:00 - 3:00
|
|
This class is just what it sounds like: a documentary film is screened and then a discussion of the film takes place among the viewers. The class is presided over by Stan Neville who chooses the film and leads the discussion. Films are usually about 90 minutes in length, leaving about a half hour for discussion, though sometimes there are pee breaks.
Stan, a retired businessman originally from Canada, has been hosting the class for a couple of years now, and says in that time he has screened documentaries on every topic imaginable: food, space, elephants, Ben Franklin, water conservation, past presidents, World War II, Stephen Hawking, Alexander the Great, and much more.

Childcare and Intergenerational Activities:
The Week of the Young Child
The Week of the Young Child™ is an annual celebration hosted by the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) celebrating early learning, young children, their teachers and families.
The purpose of the Week of the Young Child™ is to focus public attention on the needs of young children and their families and to recognize the early childhood programs and services that meet those needs.
We are excited to announce that ONEgeneration will be celebrating the Week of the Young Child by holding a special "event" each day for the Week of the Young Child. On Monday, our children enjoyed a picnic style pizza party. On Tuesday, our little ones along with our Neighbors watched a bubble show and each child and even some of our neighbors had a chance to find themselves inside a gigantic bubble! Wednesday, our children and Neighbors will enjoy a petting zoo which will be set up in the soccer field. Of course as the week concludes, our activities will become even more bouncier and energizing as children burn their endless energy in a jumper! Finally, children will be participating in a Trike-a-Thon fundraiser for St. Jude's on Friday. If you would like to make a donation for the St. Jude's fundraiser, please call or drop by the childcare main office.
