Gastroenterocolitis disease on its own. The most important factor when treating gastroenteritis is the replacement of fluids and electrolytes that are lost because of the diarrhea and vomiting. Antibiotics will not be effective if the cause of gastroenteritis is a viral infection. Doctors usually do not recommend antidiarrheal medications (e.g., Loperamide) for gastroenteritis because they tend to prolong infection, especially in children. Parasitic infections are difficult to treat. A number of drugs are available once the condition has been identified. Removing part of the colon or needle aspiration of abscesses in liver may be required. Depending on the cause of the
Knaster's condition Knaster's condition In mathematics, a partially ordered set "P" is said to have Knaster's condition upwards (sometimes property (K)) if any uncountable subset "A" of "P" has an upwards-linked uncountable subset. An analogous definition applies to Knaster's condition downwards. The property is named after Polish mathematician Bronisław Knaster. Knaster's condition implies the countable chain condition (ccc), and it is sometimes used in conjunction with a weaker form of Martin's axiom, where the ccc requirement is replaced with Knaster's condition. Not unlike ccc, Knaster's condition is also sometimes used as a property of a topological space, in which case it means
