GI 2 Flashcards
(113 cards)
persistent herniation of bowel into umbilical cord
omphalocele (due to failure of herniated intestines to return to body cavity during development)
MOA of rifaximin vs lactulose in hepatic encephalopathy
rifax - decreae intestinal ammonia production
lactulose - lowers colonic pH and increases conversion of ammonia to ammonium
cdiff toxin MOA
toxin a - brush border cuasing diarrhea
toxin b - depolymerazation actin filaments, pseudomembranous colitis
two types of chronic gastritis
chronic h pylori
chronic autoimmune gastritis
MOA curling ulcer
usually from burns
burns cause hypovolemia which will shunt blood away from stomach leaving it prone to ischemia of mucosa
how does inreased ICP cause acute gastritis
increased ICP will increase vagal stimulation which will increase Ach which will increase H+ by parietal cells
where are parietal cells located
primarily in fundus and body
autoantibodies to parietal cells and intrinsic factor
chronic autoimmune gastritis
lab values in chronic autoimmune gastritis
decreased acid (achlorhydria) so G-cells will be stiulated to make gastrin (increased gastrin) this will cause G cell hyperplasia which will increase risk for gastric cancer
hematologic complication of chronic autoimmune gastritis
pernicious anemia
MCC cause for vitb12 deficiency
goblet cells in stomach?
sign of intestinal metaplasia
mcc site of Hpylori?
antrum of stomach
they don’t invade gastric mucosa they just sit on epithelium
h pylori increass risk for developent of which cancer
MALT lymphoma (marginal zone lymphoma, b cell)
how to check for eradication of h pylori
negative breath test or lack of stool antigen
MCC site of peptic ulcer disease
MCC proximal duodenum or distal stomach
etiology PUD
hpylori
ZE syndrome
how does duodenal ulcer look on biopsy
ulcer with hypertrophy of Brunner glands
how does duodenal present
epigastric pain that IMPROVES with meals
complications of posterior wall ulcer
gastroduodenal artery bleed or ACUTE PANCREATITIS
etiology gastric ulcer
hpylori
nsaids
bile reflux
how does gastric ulcer present
epigastric pain that WORSENS with meals
complication of gastric ulcer
left gastric artery
feature of benign ulcer
small, punched out, normal looking margins ( no piling up of mucosa)
feature malignant ulcer
large, not punched out, piling up margins
