Q

learn this

most of blood to liver comes from portal vein - 15% - 25% comes from celiac

he says to have a good sense of these going into the examination

A

this is the same thing

Q

(Local Vascular Properties affects on GI Blood Flow)

  1. What is the ability to maintain steady blood flow in face of flucuating arterial pressures
A
  1. autoregulation

he then skipped over the rest of these - but you should probably learn them

Q

(Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury)

  1. occurs when blood flow is insuffiecient to deliver an amount of oxygen and nutrients necessary for maintenance or cell integrity
  2. occurs when blood flow is restored to ishemic tissue
  3. cellular injury resulting from a period of ishemia followed by restoration of blood flow to ischemic tissue
A
  1. ischemia
  2. reperfusion
  3. ischemia reperfusion injury

Q

(This is what causes injury)

this is what leads to ischemia injury

note the oxygen radicals

also recruitment of alot of granulocytes

note the differences here

Q

(Types of Ischemia-Reperfusion INjury)

2-5 What are the four risk factors?

A
  1. dogs
  2. large and giant breeds

Q

(Gastric Dilatation/Volvulus)

(Principles of Management)

  1. Shock Management –> crystalloids, colloids, pressor agents (restore blood flow systemically as well as to GI tract), antibiotics (injury to mucosa - lose some host defense), blood products (due to loos of blood)
  2. Gastric Decompression –> gastric intubation (decompression of stomach), gastrocentesis (needle to vent stomach of gas)
  3. surgery –> restoration of normal anatomy, gastric resention, gastropexy

17
Q

what’s going on here?

What does it cause?

What is the major site?

A

intussusception

slowed gastric motility

Jejuno-jejunal

18
Q

(Feline GI Intussusception)

1-4. What four signs are associated with Intussusception?

A
  1. parasitism
  2. foreign bodies
  3. viral enteritis
  4. lymphoma (cats)

Q

what is this process called?

what does it cause?

20
Q

(Porta-Caval Shunt/Porta-Systemic Shunt)

circumstances blood is diverted away from portal vein that goes into liver into systemic circulation

(this is a young animal - can tell by growth plates)

(the gastric axis is in the wrong place - abscence of liver tissue)

get hepato-encephalothapy (brain messes up due to liver not getting rid of toxins in blood)

(ammonia in excess circulating - doesn’t get changed into urea)

A
21
Q

learn this

A
22
Q

1-3. What are the three metabolites absorbed in the colon?

  1. basically this shows that if there is diversion ammonia will get into systemic circulation
A
  1. ammonia
  2. Na+
  3. Short chain fatty acids
23
Q

(Pathogenesis of Gastrointestinal Hemorrhage)

  1. What about an animal with hepatic failure would cause this?
A
  1. the liver contains some clotting factors
24
Q

baiscally showing that there are many clinical signs of gastrointestinal hemorrhage

A
25
Q

Give me what Damnit stands for
