Peptic ulcer perforation
Your digestive or gastrointestinal (GI) tract includes the esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine or colon, rectum, and anus. Bleeding can come from any of these areas. The amount of bleeding can be so small that only a lab test can find it. Signs of bleeding in the digestive tract depend where it is and how much bleeding there is.Signs of bleeding in the upper digestive tract includeBright red blood in vomitVomit that looks like coffee groundsBlack or tarry stoolDark blood mixed with stoolSigns of bleeding in the lower digestive tract includeBlack or tarry stoolDark blood mixed with stoolStool mixed or coated with bright red bloodGI bleeding is not a disease, but a symptom of a disease. There are many possible causes of GI bleeding, including hemorrhoids, peptic ulcers, tears or inflammation in the esophagus, diverticulosis and diverticulitis, ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease, colonic polyps, or cancer in the colon, stomach or esophagus.The test used most often to look for the cause of GI bleeding is called endoscopy. It uses a flexible instrument inserted through the mouth or rectum to view the inside of the GI tract. A type of endoscopy called colonoscopy looks at the large intestine.NIH: National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases

U-WIN launch in 100-day plan of next govt. Similar to the CoWIN portal for covid-19, the government's U-WIN platform registers and tracks routine vaccination and immunisation in India. Currently being run in a pilot mode in 2 districts of each state and union territory. Does such digital tracking help Govt. of India to perform timely immunisation, reduce dropout and get better insights about immunisation in Country? What do you think about it?

Hello Curofians! Please check my case. I have pain in my thumb for 1 month after a minor injury. No wound, no swelling. Little redness is there, as you can see in the images, which should have disappeared by now as the injury was 1 month back. No pain on palpation. Pain occurs with even minor twisting of the thumb and also with percussion in the marked region. Please check the x-ray & clinical images from today. Age - 33 years No comorbidity No pain in other joints as such.
