Loss of elastic recoil is characteristic of what kind of COPD
emphysema
increased airway resistance is characteristic of bronchitis
what is the most common sx of emphysema
dyspnea seen with hyperinflation barrel chest increase in AP diameter V/Q matched defects
sxs of chronic bronchitis
productive cough wheezing rales rhonci peripheral edema cyanosis
increased CO2 is characteristic of chronic bronchitis or emphysema
chornic bronchitis
anything over this temp celicius is technically a fever
38
what is the presentation of PUD
dyspepsia that is worse at night
GIB
(MCC of upper GIB)
duodenal ulcers are better or worse with meals
better
MC type of Peptic ulcers
dueodenal (4x)
more common in younger pts
diagnostic test for PUD
endoscopy
what is gastritis
superficial inflammation / irritation of stomach mucosa with mucosal injury
CC of gastritis
. H. pylori MCC
NSAID / ASA / Alcohol 2nd MCC
less common Autoimmune / Pernicious anemia
MC presentation of gastritis
epigastric pain
MC virsu associated with gastroenteritis in adults
what is the most common virus in children
adults –>NORO
children–>ROTA
questions would want to ask if you suspect gastroenteritis
recent travel (e.coli)
recent anbx (C. Diff)
sxs of invasive gastroenteritis
increased fever
blood and fecal leukocytes
large bowel involvement
mimics acute appendicitis
initially watery
sxs of shigella
lower abd pain explosive watery diarrhea mucoid blood febrile seizures
nonivasive gastroenteritis szs
vomiting
increase i voluminous stool
small bowel involvement
copious watery diarrhea “rice water”
grey, no fecal door/blood/pus
severe dehydration
Canned home foods is a RF for this gastroenteririts pathogen
C perfringens
pork and poultry are RF for these gastroenteririts pathogen
Salmonella
shellfish and gastroenteritis think this pathgen
V. Cholerae
picnic and egg salad think this gastroenteritis RF
S. auereus
DO NOT GIVE ANTIDIARRHEAL WITH this type of gastroenteririts
invasive (fever, blood, leukocytes large bowel involvement)
antiemetics that can be used for gastroenteririts include
5HT3 inihibitors
dopamine blockers like reglan (if not heart conditions)
anbx TX for shigella
Trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (Bactrim) 1st line if severe
anbx tx for vibrio
tetracyclines, FQ
C. diff tx
metro or vanco
Salmonella tx
FQ
constipation questions to ask
new onset after 50
opiate use
DM
hypothyroid
MS
Labs for constipation
CBC, CMP, TSH
Tx for constipation
bulk forming laxitices (metamucil)
increase fiber 20g
stool softner like sENNA
ROME criteria for constipation
less than 3 BM/ week
with straining
hard or lumpy
sensation of incomplete evacuation
acute pancreatitis causes
gallstones (40%)
ETOH (35%)
sxs of acute pancreatitis
epigastric boring pain that radiates to the back
PE of acute pancreatitis
tachy
necrotizing hemorrhagic
Cullen’s (periubilical ecchy)
Grey turner( flank ecchymosis)
Labs if you suspect acute pancreatitis
increase tg Increase lipase (more specific than amylase)
greater than 3x ULN of amylase
increase ALT: 3x suggest gallstone
dx test of choice for acute pancreatitis
abd CT
can rule out gallstones with abd U/S
Tx for acute pancreatitis
supportive

UC differs from crohn’s b/c
limited to colon
begin in rectum always and contiguous spread
mucosa and submucosa
UC sxs
LLQ colicky MC
bloody diarrhea hallmark
hematochezia
crohn’s dz differs from UC b/c
can be any segment of GI
MC terminal
transmural
crohn’s sxs
RLQ pain
apthous ulcers
Chron’s complications
B12 deficiency
fistual
perianal dz
