Q

what are the protective barriers for acute gastritis?

A
  • Foveolar cells (form a thin layer of mucin)
  • mucus layer (neutral pH due to bicarb ion secretion by surface epithelial cells)
  • vascular supply(O2, bicarb, nutrients and washes away acid)

Q

What can cause gastritis?

A
  • Elderly(reduced mucin synthesis)
  • NSAIDS
  • Uremia
  • H. pylori
  • ingesting harsh chemicals
  • excessive alcohol consumptions
  • radiation
  • chemo (not enough mucosal regeneration)
  • High altitudes (decreased oxygen delivery…hypoxia -> vasoconstriction)

Q

how do NSAIDS cause acute gastritis?

A

cycloxygenase inhibition-> interferes with prostaglandins (protective) and decrease bicarb secretion, decreases mucin synthesis and decreased vascular perfusion

Q

where can cushings ulcers be seen ?

A

in stomach
esophagus or duodenum
(can perforate)

25
what is the main basis behind acute gastric ulcers?
- due to vagal stimulation (hypersecrete gastric acid) | - systemic acidosis (decrease pH of mucosal cells)
26
what is the gross of acute gastric ulcers?
- round and less than 1 cm in diameter - the base is brown/black (due to acid digestion of extravasated blood) - can be multiple and all over the stomach
27
what is the micro of acute gastric ulcers?
- normal mucosa adjacent to ulcer | - no scarring and no thinking of blood vessels ( would only see in chronic)
28
are the sx of chronic gastritis more severe or less severe then acute gastritis?
less severe
29
how often is hematemesis in chronic gastritis?
rare
30
what are the sx of chronic gastritis?
- nausea - upper abdominal discomfort - vomiting
31
what is the most common cause of acute gastritis?
#1 h. pylori - autoimmune gastritis - stomach irritants
32
how is h. pylori transmitted?
- fecal/oral | - oral/oral
33
Describe the bacteria look with h. pylori?
-spiral shaped or curved bacilli
34
H. Pylori gastritis is seen in almost all patients with ________ and most patients with __________ and 90% of cases of ____________
- duodenal ulcers - gastric ulcers - chronic gastritis in antrum
35
what can h. pylori lead to?
-peptic ulcer dx
36
what does H. pylori increase the risk of?
-gastric cancer
37
Describe the pathology of getting carcinoma from H. Pylori?
1. pangastritis 2. multifocal gastritis with atrophy and intestinal metaplasia 3. carcinoma
38
what infection can you get from pets?
H. Heilmanni
39
what are cool facts about autoimmune gastritis?
- SPARES THE ANTRUM (although antral endocrine cell hyperplasia) - HYPERGASTRINEMIA (b/c Ab to parietal cells and IF.vitb12 def)
40
What does the absence of gastric acid secretion lead to?
hypergastrinemia and hyperplasia of gastrin producing G cells
41
what does autoimmune gastritis show micro?
diffuse damage of the oxyntic (acid producing) muoca
42
where is autoimmune gastritis seen?
body and the fundus
43
what is the median age of diagnosis for autoimmune gastritis?
60 years | and females get it more
44
what are symptoms of vitamin b12 deficiency?
- atrophic glossitis - epithelial megaloblastosis - malaborptive diarrhea - Neuro: peripheral neuropathy, spinal cord lesions, demyelination, personality changes *neuro not reversed*
45
what are some complications of reactive gastropathy?
- foveolar (mucus secreting cells) hyperplasia - gland regenerative changes - mucosal edema - bile reflux
46
what causes reactive gastropathy?
NSAIDS
47
gastric antral vascular ectasia aka
watermelon stomach
48
what is the cause of gastric antral vascular ectasia
astral trauma
49
Where do you see esonophillic gastritis?
astral or pylorus
50
in kids what is esonophillic gastritis associated with?
soy and milk allergies | or collagen vascular disease
51
what bacteria is peptic ulcer disease associated with and where?
H. pylori/NSAIDS | duodenal ! and gastric ulcers
52
how do you discriminate peptic ulcer disease ulcer vs stress ulcer?
with a peptic ulcer disease ulcer you will see chronic gastritis next to it
53
what are the symptoms of peptic ulcer disease ?
- epigastric burning and aching pain - nausea - vomiting - IRON DEFICIENCY ANEMIA - hemorrhage - WORSE AT NIGHT! - relieved by alkali or food
54
how do you treat peptic ulcer disease ?
PPI H2 blockers and H. pylori treatment
55
where are ulcers in peptic ulcer disease usually seen the most
duodenal usually solitary
56
how can you tell if an ulcer is cancerous?
if it has heaped up margins
57
how do you diagnose peptic ulcer disease ?
free are under the diaphragm due to perforation
