Please create a handbook PDF for me on the topic gastroenterology. It should include have classification of all the diseases I must know as intern doctor in hospital and the diagnosis fully and the treatment fully,And you must include lots and lots of colorful pictures. Also try Explain try in the form of tables. Please create a beautiful PDF for me as intern doctor in hospital.

"3. Calculate SAAG (Serum Albumin - Ascitic Albumin): >11g/L = portal hypertension; <11g/L = malignancy/TB/other.",
"4. Faecal Calprotectin is an excellent, non-invasive screen: <50 = organic disease unlikely; >250 = refer for colonoscopy.",
"5. In H. pylori eradication: always test for eradication with urea breath test 4 weeks after completing treatment (off PPI for 2 weeks first).",
"6. Do NOT give opiates in undiagnosed acute abdominal pain — use titratable analgesia and get a senior review early.",
"7. Acute severe UC (ASUC) = stool frequency ≥6/day + systemic features — admit, IV steroids, involve GI + colorectal surgery from day 1.",
"8. Child-Pugh score and MELD score are essential for every cirrhotic patient — know how to calculate them.",
"9. ALP + GGT disproportionately raised = cholestatic — think gallstones, PBC, PSC, drug-induced, or malignancy.",
"10. For painless obstructive jaundice in older patient — pancreatic head Ca until proven otherwise — urgent CT pancreas protocol.",
