25
causes of GI obstruction
- gastric/abomasal volvulus - intestinal volvulus/torsion - intestinal external herniation - intestinal internal herniation/entrapment - intussusception - intestinal stenosis/atresia - intestinal stricture - enteroliths and impactions
26
consequences of volvulus
- obstruction of lumen | - obstruction of vascular supply and hemorrhagic infarction
27
torsion def.
twist around the long axis of the intestinal segment
28
volvulus def.
twist in axis outside the long axis of the organ and involving the mesentery
29
strangulating lipoma common in older horses
T
30
intussuscipiens vs. intussusceptum***
intussuscipiens on outside, intussusceptum on inside
31
predisposing factors for intussusceptions
- enteritis/altered motility - intestinal FB (esp. linear FB) - intestinal polyp/neoplasm
32
linear FB induces ulcers on what border?**
MESENTERIC (can result in peritonitis)
33
4 types of stenosis/atresia
(se on pg. 79) - stenosis (narrowing of lumen) - membrane atresia (membrane goes across lumen) - cord atresia (cord in place of continuous lumen) - blind end atresia (completely separated segments)
34
is atresia developmental?
yes
35
is stenosis developmental?
no
36
chars. of intestinal adenocarcinoma in DOGS
age: 9yo - more common in males - colon/rectum (55%) or SI - plaque like or ulcerated appearance +/- polypoid - usually constrictive in SI
37
behavior of adenocarcinoma if untreated
spreads to local LN, peritoneum, liver
38
chars. of intestinal adenocarcinoma in CATS
- age: 11yo - males more common - Siamese cats - 90% in SI - almost always annular and constrictive/obstructive
39
2 types of epithelial tumors
adenoma | adenocarcinoma
40
sequelae of intestinal lymphangiectasia/lymphatic lipogranulomas
dilation of lymphatics --> PLE, can't absorb fat well, lymphopenic
41
know what linear FB looks like grossly***
(pg. 84)
42
slide 85/86***
:)
43
what allows villi to contract?
smooth m.
44
where are stem cells in intestine?
crypts
45
3 mechs. of diarrhea in enterocolitis
1) maldigestion/malabsorption: Osmotic (due to villous atrophy, etc.) 2) Secretory mechanisms: Cl- secretion (from infectious agents working at lvl of crypts) 3) increased permeability (due to mucosal epithelial damage)
46
types of exudate in enterocolitis
- necrotizing - fibrinonecrotic - hemorrhagic - proliferative - granulomatous
47
what things cause villous atrophy?
``` virus, protozoa including: -coronavirus -rotavirus -cryptosporidia -enteric calicivirus -norovirus -enteric synctial virus -parvovirus -astrovirus - some E. coli "CREEP CANE" ```
48
what things target intestinal crypt cells?
- parvovirus - BVD - Rinderpest - mycotoxins - radiation
49
Q: Which of the following infectious agents induces necrosis of crpyt epithelial cells?***** a) rotavirus b) coronavirus c) Cryptosporidia sp. d) parvovirus
parvo (also, feline panleukopenia)
50
classic dz resulting in fibrinonecrotic lesions and fibrin casts**
enteric salmonellosis
51
pathogenetic mechanisms of salmonella
1) attach to M-cells, enterocytes, and goblet cells 2) survive in phagosome 3) enterotoxin/verotoxin/endotoxin induce necrosis of mucosa 4) upregulation of Cl- secretion via PGE2
52
3 forms of salmonella
1) Peracute septicemia 2) acute enteric salmonellosis 3) chronic enteric salmonellosis
53
peracute septicemia form of salmonella-->
vasculitis, thrombosis
54
acute enteric salmonellosis form of salmonella -->
enterocolitis, septicemia (hepatocellular necrosis, lymphadenomegally, splenomegaly, fibrinous cholecystitis)
55
chronic enteric salmonellosis -->
enterocolitis, thrombosis, rectal stricture in pig
56
what other bacteria can cause fibrinonecrosis besides salmonella?**
E. coli Clostridium difficile Lawsonia intracellularis
57
Causes of hemorrhagic enterocolitis (4)**
Clostridia perfringens Shigellosis (primates) Lawsonia intracellularis (pigs) coccidiosis
58
2 causes of hyperplastic (proliferative?) enterocolitis**
Lawsonia intracellularis | Coccidiosis
59
2 causes of granulomatous enterocolitis**
1) mycobacterial infection (ie. Johne's disease) | 2) Histoplasmosis, deep mycoses
60
Q: which of the following infectious agents most commonly induces fibrinonecrotic enterocolitis? a) Rotavirus b) Salmonella c) Cryptosporidia d) Mycobacteria e) Lawsonia intracellularis
B) Salmonella sp.
61
Q: which most commonly induces proliferative enteritis? a) rotavirus b) salmonella c) cryptosporidia d) mycobacteria e) Lawsonia intracellularis
e) lawsonia intracellularis
