drugs causing ED
SSRI and SNRI
26
ED key notes
ED with the ability to have a normal morning erection implies a psychogenic cause, although the patient’s subjective assessment of his own early morning erections can be unreliable * Sudden onset might point towards a psychogenic or drug-induced cause * ED induced by a drug, hormonal causes or psychogenic are highly treatable, look for these causes (Harris, 2012) * You also need to differentiate ED from other sexual disorders such as premature ejaculation and loss of libido (Miller, 2000)
27
hormones to check for eretile dysfunction
low testosterone (hypogonadism), high prolactin, cholesterol, CBC/ferrtin, fasting blood sugar HBA1c, hsCRP
27
28
what to rule out for ED
CVD (framingham), bladder or bowel incontiencen. sleep apnea

most common type of polyps
adenomatous and can give rise to adenocarcinoma
33

34
crohns test vs UC

35
ulcerative colitis
finger clubbing
36
risks of UC
salmonella, c dif, camplylobactera
37

38

age + change in bowel habit _ blood seen with or on stool
39

FIT > gFOBT fecal immunochemical test better than guacici
40
dyspepsia bc of
GERD or IBS
41
peptic ulcer causes
h pylori and NSAIDs mainly
42
3 types of diarrhea
watery (secretory, osmotic, functional) fatty (maldigestive, malabnsorptive) inflammatory (aka exudative)
43
inflammatory diarrhea
elevated WBC, pus, occult or frank blood
44
c dificile diarrhea aka
pseudomembranous
45
diarrhea alarm symptoms
- blood in stools (either as hematochezia or melena) - more than 10% unintentional weight loss - disease that wakes the patient up during the night - fever - new onset of signs and symptoms after 50 yrs of age - fHx of colorectal cancer, inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) or celiac disease - unexplained anemia - elevated white blood cell count (WBCs) - abdominal mass
46
labs for IBS-D
- CBC, BMP (FBG, Ca, Electrolytes (Na, K, CO2, Cl), BUN, Creatinine), CRP; consider anti-tTG IgA, total IgA, O&P, fecal calprotectin, TSH, LFTs
47
carb malabosprtion/ intolerance
lack enzymes to digest carbs do hydrogen breath test lactose> fructose
48
bile acid malabsorption diarrhea
diarrhea caused from either hepatic overproduction of bile acids or their malabsorption in the terminal ileum
49
bile acid diarrhea test
SeHCAT > C4
50
c dificicle test
ewznyme imnmunosay EIA toxin A + B
51
c dificile risk
hospital, antibiotics
52
celiac
dermatitis herpetiformis IgA tTG IgG deaminated gliadin peptide has higher LR but not used

1. long crypts 2. flattened villi 3. lymphocyte infiltration
55
non celiac gluten sensitivity testing for diagnosisng
gluten challenge
56
anorexia symptoms
thin appearance/ marked weight loss, amenorrhea, arrhythmia, bradycardia, brittle hair/nails, edema, hyperkeratosis, hypotension, lanugo, osteoporosis
57
anorexia BMI
mild: BMI ≥ 17 kg/m2 - moderate: BMI 16 - 16.99 kg/m2 - severe: BMI 15 - 15.99 kg/m2 - extreme: BMI < 15 kg/m2
58
bulimia and anorexia test
- UA (specific gravity, pH, ketones +/- protein - hydration status, kidney function) - body temperature (low), hypotension (incl. orthostatic) - ECG, CBC, electrolytes (Na, K, Cl), P, Mg, amylase, lipase, TSH, free T3, free T4 - bone density
59
bulimia levels of severity
mild: an average of 1-3 episodes per week - moderate: an average of 4-7 episodes per week - severe: an average of 8-13 episodes per week - extreme: an average of 14 or more episodes per week
