Minor Corrections:
3:28 - 3:39: Fecalith is more common in adults, NOT as common in children
4:51 - 5:01: Lymph Node Hyperplasia is more common in children, NOT as common in adults

In this lecture, Professor Zach Murphy will present on Appendicitis. We will discuss the pathophysiology, identifying the inflammation of the appendix as a result of obstruction, and its common causes, including fecaliths, lymphoid hyperplasia, and infection. The session will transition to a digital presentation focused on the diagnostic approach, highlighting the clinical presentation, laboratory findings, and imaging techniques such as ultrasound and CT scans. Finally, we will review the management strategies for Appendicitis, emphasizing the role of surgical intervention, specifically appendectomy, and the use of antibiotics.
