Q

What are the actions of gastrin

A

Parietal cells: Bind to CCK2 receptors; increase intracellular calcium; then pump out H+ and in K+
Chief cells: Binds to CCK2, increases Ca release; leads to vesiclues of pepsinogen excocytosis- activated by H+ in the lumen

Q

How does the mixing/emptying function of the stomach work

A

Pacemaker cells in the body stimulate contraction from body to antrum becoming more intense.
In pylorus have three regions that lead to the mixing effect as only the middle with pulpose through where the distal will contract the pylorus to close.

Where does metoclopramide have its effect
increases LES, increases frequency and amplituded of antril contractions, inhibits releacin Side effects are CNS stimulation- excitation, tremors, aggression SSRI
34
What are the mechanisms of movement in the small intestine
Propulsive- digesitve phase moves food forwards. Also has MMC Non propulses- interdigestive period. Contract titghtly in alternating segments, Contents move back and forth
35
What is intestinointestinal inhibition
Enteric nervous system reflex | grossly distended bowel leads to contractile activity in the rest of the bowel to be inhibited.
36
How does the ileocolic sphincter work
Prevents retrograde movement from colon Primarily constricted. Peristalsis results in relaxation and closes with increased colonic pressure
37
What is the gastric colic reflex
Distension in stomach leads to increased motility and mass movements in teh colon. Afferent limb is stomach distension efferent limb is mediated by CCK and gastrin
38
What is the MOA for cisapride
Sertonergic 5HT4 agonist Increases LES pressure, and distal esophageal motility in cats. Stomach increased gastric emptying at 0.5-1 mg/kg Jejunal pike burst migration and increase in propulsive motility
39
What is the MOA for ranitidine
Ach inhibitor Increase gastric antral contractions Dogs propication of colonic on tractions
40
How does erythromycin have gastric motility effects
Macrolides positively stimulate motilin to work directly on smooth muscle
41
What is regurgitation
Passive ejection of material from upper gastrointestinal tract. No reflex arc so airway is not able to be protected
42
What is granulamotous colitis in boxers
Associated with E.COli | also reported in french bulldogs and border collies
43
What is the MOA for NSAID/Steroid ulcers in the stomach
Prostaglandin inhibititoin via cycloxengenase 1 & 2 Decrases epithelial mucous production and decrease bicarb secretion Decrease mucosal blood flow. It also decreases negative feedback on parietal cells
44
What is the MOA of hepatic induced ulcers
Increased gastrin secretion and mucosal blood flow alterations
45
What is the MOA of uremic induced ulcers
Decreased gastric excretion through teh kidneys due to decreased renal clearance
46
What is the MOA of Misoprostol
Prostoglandin E1 analogue
47
What is the MOA of sucralfate
Dissociated to sucrose octassulfate and alumunim hydroxide (ALOH) Bind ulcerated mucosa to prevent diffusion of hydrogen ions and inactiving pepsin May reduce efficacy of other medications due to chelation by alumnium More effective as suspension
48
What is the phys of pancreatitis
Mechanisms in place to prevent early activitation of trypsin become overwhelmed. Trypsin activates other pancreatic enzymes leading to autodigestion
49
What are the three categories of acute pancreatitis
Mild- no organ failure, resolves in 1 week Mod: Transient organ failure of co morbidities; may resolve without treatment or require speciality care Severe: persistant organ failure > 48 hours, increased mortality
50
What is the anatomical difference in the pancreatic ducts of dogs and cats
Dogs have two pancreatic ducts which do not combine generally with the CBD Cats have 1 duct that hoins the CBD prior to entering the duodenum
51
What electrolyte abnormality is associated with a poor outcome.
Decreased calcium
52
Why does Kaluresis not occur despite aldosterone stimulation in GI obstruction
RAAS activationd due to hypovolemia, Angiotensin II inhibits, decrased GFR, and PCT/DCT increased Na reabsorption Called aldosterone paradox
53
What are the indications for septic abdomen or bile peritonitis.
Lactate fluid: peripheral > 2.5 mmol/L Glucose peripheral: Fluid > 20 mg/dl Bile: Bilirubin Fluid: Serum > 2
54
When can you not use lactate and glucose for abdominal fluid
DPL- diagnostic peritoneal lavage | Post surgical abdomens/ abdomens with drains
55
What increases the survival of GDV
Lacated < 4 mmol/L, lactate clearance 40% reduction after rescitation > 6 mmol/L increase cost of care and gastric wall necrosis more likely
56
Where is decompression for GDV generally performed
Area of tympamy in the dorsolateral region 1-3 cm caudal to the right 13 th rib
57
What is the gastric pressure thought to occlude venous return via azogus
Intragastric pressure of > 20 mmHg
58
What is the MOA of Apomorphine
Central acting non selective Dopamine (D2) agonist | Vomiting by stimulating D2 receptors in the medullary CTZ
59
How is intrabdominal hypertension defined in dogs
``` Normal 0 - 7.4 mmHg Mild 7.4-14.7 mmHg Mod 14.7-25.7 Severe > 25.7 Sustained ```
60
How is intraabdominal hypertension measured in dogs
Via intravesicular pressure generally U-bladder Sterilely placed foley catheter. Urine is emptied Instill 1 ml/kg of 0.9% Na CL Connect to pressure transducer zeroed at the level of the pubic symphysis Obtain while dog is standing
61
How does IAH lead to decreased CO, GFR, and UO
Increase in afterolad (mechanical compression of vessels) | Decrease in preload from caudal vena cava
62
List the complications of esophageal foreign bodies
esophagitis, aspiration pneumonia, esophageal perforation, stricture Pneumothorax, pneumomediastinum, bronchoesophageal fistula CPA, Death
63
Compare H2RA vs. PPI
PPI: More effective at increasing gastric PH over time takes several days to be effective Availability of pantropazole H2RA: effective on first day of tx, can give with a meal, prolonged administration may decreased effectiveness overtime Famotidine may increase mucous and bicarbonate secretion in stomach
64
What are differentials for rbc microcytosis
``` GI bleeding Copper deficency Chronic liver disease- PSS Lead poisioning Breed: Shiba Inu, Akita ```
65
What are negative prognostic factors in PLE
medium body weight Altered BUN (both increase/decrease) Decreased serum albumin
66
How does octeotide work
Somatostatin analogue decreased GI motility Hormone alterations in intestines, pancrease, pituitary
67
How does xylazine induce vomiting in cats
Centrally mediated alpha 2 adrenergic agonist Stimulus in CTZ Blocked/reversed by yohimbe
68
What is the assessment of radiographs for intestinal dilation in dogs.
SI: L5 mid body 2.5-2.4 times | variable
69
What is the MOA for lidocaines other than arrhythmic properties
Na channel blockade, inhibition of G-coupled protien, and inhibition of NMDA Recptors CRI: Decrease Opiod doses, Reduce MAC
70
