Since the flu is treated the same, regardless of the specific type of flu, it is usually treated empirically as if you have the flu and additional work up is only done if the course of the disease is abnormal for the flu or unexpected complications arise.
Sometimes lab testing can be done, but for viruses, like those that cause the flu, there are no specific tests to identify a specific organism that are easily done. That usually takes a lot of time and these tests are only done in specific esoteric labs, and are often not insignificantly priced. There are quick tests that can be done, that will identify if flu viruses are present, but they are usually not needed.

Although surgery is rarely performed to treat ulcers it is done in cases of ulcers that do not heal or complications such as a perforation or severe bleeding. Surgery for ulcers can involve cutting nerves to the stomach, removing part of the stomach and/or widening the opening of the stomach.

How can you digest food without a stomach if it is removed by gastrectomy?
The stomach has three main functions in digestion: -Mechanical digestion, the muscles in the stomach further mix and mash the food you're swallowed -Chemical digestion: the stomach contains Hydrochloric acid which dissolves and dissociates solid structures into free molecules -Enzymatic Digestion: The stomach contains an enzyme called pepsin that breaks large protein molecules into smaller molecules Of those three functions, the first two are not critical in the production of useable molecules from food, they only ease the process. Further along the digestive tract, the pancreas secretes an enzyme called trypsin that performs the the same function as pepsin. As you can see, if a person is wise about what they eat (soft foods that dissolve easily), the stomach is not required for digestion. It does, however, make it significantly easier, which is why we have them.

How do you loose stomach fat after giving birth?
First of all, there's no way to lose fat in one particular area, you will lose fat wherever your body chooses. During your first trimester you do not need to increase your calories at all, for the last 2 trimesters you only need to consume an extra 250 - 300 calories a day, you don't need to eat for 2. So first you need to make healthy choices about what you eat. Also, do not listen to people who tell you the only exersice you can do during pregnancy is brisk walks and swimming, it's not true. I've been working out at a gym doing 1 hour of weight traing and 20 minutes of cardio every second day. Abdominal exersices are excellent during pregnancy, they help with the birth, help eliminate back pain, RLS, insomnia, and fatigue. They will also help you to gain a flat stomach faster after the birth. Make sure you stay away from any exercise where you are laying flat on your back. You will not lose pounds on a scale, but you may lose some body fat that will be replaced by muscle mass.
