Richard is a 55 year old man who has been diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis. Before being diagnosed, he was taking OTC ibuprofen to manage his pain. Once diagnosed, his prescriptions included celecoxib. He was also advised to stop taking additional OTC ibuprofen.

  1. Explain the mechanism of action and clinical effects of each of the drugs Richard has been taking.

  2. Compare and contrast the mechanism of action ibuprofen and celecoxib. Why might Richard have been prescribed celecoxib? Why do you think he was advised not to take additional ibuprofen?

Below are symptoms of a patient related to the Digestive System and Metabolism. Each person needs to answer all of these and then reply substantially to their teammates. As a team you should come to a final conclusion on all 3 questions in regards to the Patient and the symptoms. *Only the people in your group/team can see your discussions. Based on the symptoms answer the following questions:

Identify all anatomical structures related to and/or that are being affected based on the patient case information. (i.e. tissues, organs, vessels, brain components, membranes)
Explain how the anatomical structures and their physiological function/dysfunction are interrelated normally and what is going wrong with the structures in this current patient case information.
Identify and explain possible a diagnosis and what can be done to fix or reverse the current situation described in the patient case information. Please be specific and detailed.
Patient Case (Initial Review):

Noah is a 12 year old boy who lives in a rural town. Noah has been having the following symptoms:

Stomach pain in the form of a burning sensation, it especially hurts when he hasn't eaten in a while
Nausea
Loss of appetite
Frequent burping
Bloating
Unintentional weight loss - Noah has lost 15 lbs.
Noah is taking a trip in to the city to see a doctor to see what he can find out. (That information is below). Please post before I add this additional information.

*Remember to view this situation through the lens of the Digestive Systems and Metabolism, it should drive your inquiry/understanding of what is going on here. More information will be coming from the Doctors below.

Doctors Findings:

The Dr. performed the following diagnostic tests. The findings are below as well.

Blood test - antibodies for a pathogen found
Stool test - pathogen antigens found in the stool
After performing endoscopy of GI, biopsy was taken in the stomach.
