Q

why does the pt feel full sooner if they have a rolling hiatal hernia

A

dec stomach capacity AND smaller herniated pocket still fx’s normally, this mini stomach has stretch receptors so when small pocket fills -> n. sends signal of feeling full

25
what is the inguinal ring
taught opening allowing passage of spermatic cord to exterior body
26
what is in a hernial sac
peritonium with organ and omentum inside
27
2 types of hernia
direct | indirect
28
direct hernia
herniation via no aperture (hiatal)
29
indirect hernia
herniation via present aperture (inguinal)
30
peptic ulcer disease
ulcerative disorder of upper GI tract (20% stomach, 80% duodenum).
31
why is there higher incidence of peptic ulcer disease in the duodenum
no protective lining here
32
what layers does peptic ulcer disease primarily affect
mucosa, deeper layers if no tx
33
how does peptic ulcer disease progress
with remissions and exacerbations, (acute condition that may become chronic)
34
ET of of peptic ulcer disease
dt inf caused by heliobacter pylori
35
how does heliobacter pylori colonize in the stomach
creates a niche and colonizes within stomach wall
36
how does heliobacter pylori attatch to stomach wall
adhesion proteins allowing attatchment to epithelial tissue
37
how does h pylori survive in acidic environment of the stomach
secrete Urease
38
what is urease
enzyme that breaks down urea
39
what does urease break down urea into
NH3 + CO2 -> carbonic acid buffer -> bicarbonate
40
how does the break down of urea aid in the survival of H pylori
urea breaks into bicarbonate which buffers pH on a small scale allowing H pylori to live
41
what does h pylori induce
inflm of tissue | hypergastrinemia
42
hypergastrinemia
inc sec of gastrin hormone
43
fx of gastrin
inc Hcl prod in host stomach.
44
risk factors/offensive factors of peptic ulcer disease
``` Hcl + biliary acid steroids & NSAIDS chronic gastritis smoking, alcohol, caffeine stress ```
45
which offensive factor is etiologic
Hcl and biliary acid
46
what is an offensive factor
things that increase aggrevation of peptic ulcer disease
47
which offensive factor is different then the rest? why
chronic gastritis | its presence makes a pt more susceptible to ulcers
48
what are defensive factors
factors that prevent ulcer formation
49
what 4 defensive factors prevent ulcer formation
acid regulation intact perfusion mucous presence ability of mucosa to regenerate new cells
50
what is to be said about the relationship between offensive and defensive factors
normally, defensive factors > then offensive factors
51
what happens if offensive factors > defensive factors
makes pt more susceptible to ulcers if H pylori is present
52
patho of peptic ulcer disease (2)
H pylori infec-> inflm mediator rls -> tissue damage infc -> inc gastrin prod -> inc acid sec -> tissue damage dt no acid regulation
53
mnfts of peptic ulcer disease
abdm pain N/V Fever
54
describe mnft of abdm pain in peptic ulcer disease
burning and cramping dt inflm of tissue and tissue erosion by HCLl. its felt in the chest and may be described as angina pain
55
why does N/V occur in peptic ulcer diesae
GI mnft
56
when does fever occur in peptic ulcer disease
when H pylori is first establishing
57
3 complications of peptic ulcer diseae
perforation of ulcer hemorrhage gastric obstr
58
what may perforation of a peptic ulcer ->
peritonitis
59
how does hemmorrhage of a peptic ulcer mnft?
occult blood in stools
60
what may a gastric obstr in peptic ulcer disease be caused by
edema scar tissue contraction m. spasm
61
mechanism of scar tissue contraction and gastric obstr
mucosa attempts to come together at points of injury pulling on the tissue around it, making area tight
62
which tests are use to dx PUD
``` Hx serology fecal Ag UBT barium swallow endoscopy ```
63
fx of serology in PUD
looking for Ab's against H pylori in blood
64
fx of Fecal Ag in blood
testing stool for Ag's related to H pylori / inc protein content
65
what is the number one dx in PUD
UBT
66
fx of UBT
pt ingests soln thats made to mark C14 if present. pt then gives breath sample 2-2.5 h later and if C14 is present h pylori is presnt
67
how does UBT pick up H pylori infc
H pylori breaks down urea using urease, which is normally not present. If urea is being broken down into Co2 and NH3, then the C in CO2 is available to be marked by the test. the marked CO2 is then exhaled
68
fx of barium swallow in PUD
we can do this to visualize extent of ulcerations
69
fx of endoscopy in PUD
may be used instead of ba swallow or with it, we can image ulcers this way
70
Tx for PUD
antacids? triple regimen Sx
71
fx of antacids in PUD
for symptom relief and OTC med thats not to be used long term dt inc risk for kidney stones
72
triple regimen
3 drugs used congruiently
73
which drug categories are used in the triple regimen
either H2RA and 2 Abx, or PPI and 2 ABx
74
how does an H2Ra work
block receptor for histamine binding. Normally histamine binding -> facilitates acid sec
75
common H2Ra's
zantac | tagamet
76
how does a PPI work
blocks release of H+ from protein pumps -> dec of HCl prod
77
what are the most common PPIs
Losec Pariet Nexium
78
what is the typical 1st line tx in triple regimen
Losec Amoxicillan Nexium
79
what is the typical 2nd line tx in triple regimen
Zantac Amoxicillan Biaxin
80
what is the normal course of an Abx in triple regmine
week - 10 days
81
what is the normal course of a PPI or H2Ra in triple regmin
weeks - months
82
when is sx used to treat PUD
if complications arise, usually do sx repair during endoscopy
