Q

How differs the mechanism for HCl release of histamine vs ACh/gastrin?

A

Histamine acts on adenylate cyclase –> cAMP –> protein kinase A to increase HCl
Ach/Gastrin act on phospholipase –> PIP –> DAG + IP3 to increase Ca; activates phosphorylase kinase –> increase HCl production

Complete vagotomy (truncal or selective) - decrease emptying of solids 
Highly selective vagotomy - normal emptying of solids

A

Tagged RBC scan

35
Q

What are the three biggest risk factors for rebleeding at the time of EGD?

A 
#1 Spurting blood vessel (60% chance of rebleed)
#2 Visible blood vessel (40% chance of rebleed)

Q

What are the surgical options for duodenal ulcers?

A

Truncal vagotomy and pyloroplasty
Truncal vagotomy and antrectomy with Billroth I or II - BEST surgery for preventon of recurrence

41
Q

What is the MOST frequent complication of duodenal ulcers?

A

Bleeding

42
Q

What is consider major bleeding?

A

> 6 units of blood in 24 hours or patient remains hypotensive despite transfusion

43
Q

How many sutures are needed to ligate the GDA?

A

Three - Proximal and distal brnches of GDA + transverse pancreatic branch

44
Q

What is the conservative and surgical options for obstruction secondary to duodenal ulcer?

A

Serial dilation
If near ampulla of Vater or removing ulcer is difficult –> Billroth II, antrectomy, and truncal vagotomy
If proximal to ampulla of Vater –> antrectomy (with ulcer excision) with Billroth II and truncal vagotomy

45
Q

What is consider intractability?

A

> 3 months without relief while on H-pump inhibitor therapy or recurrence >1 year after medical therapy based on EGD not symptoms

46
Q

What is the test of choice for ZES?

A

Male, tobacco, ETOH, NSAIDs, H. pylori, uremia, stress (burns, sepsis and trauma), steroids, chemotherapy

49
Q

What is the CLO test?

A

Detects urease released from H. pylori

50
Q

What type of ulcers are associated with type A and O blood?

A

Type A blood - type I ulcers

Type O blood - type II-IV ulcers

51
Q

What are the 5 types of gastric ulcers and what is the treatment for each of them?

A

Type I - lesser curve along the body of stomach; due to increase mucosal protection
Tx: distal gastrectomy including ulcer with billroth I or II +/- vagotomy
Type II - 2 ulcers (lesser curve and duodenal); high acid secretion
Tx: distal gastrectomy including ulcer with billroth I or II and truncal vagotomy
Type III - prepyloric ulcer; high acid secretion, increase bleeding
Tx: distal gastrectomy including ulcer with billroth I or II and truncal vagotomy
Type IV - lesser curve high along cardia of stomach; increase risk of bleeding due to decrease mucosal protection
Tx: ulcer excision +/- highly selective vagotomy or truncal vagotomy and pyloroplasty
Type V - ulcer associated with NSAIDs

A

Metastases to supraclavicular node

57
Q

A

GIST tumors or leiomyoma

60
Q

How are GIST diagnosed and treated?

61
Q

What chemo agent can be give to GIST patients and why?

A

Gleevec (TK inhibitor) because most are C-KIT positive.

62
Q

How are the leiomyosarcomas diagnosed and how can they spread?

A

Cancer diagnosis based on mitosis/HPF (>5-10 associated with increase risk of metastases)
Hematogenous spread

63
Q

What is the ogan most commonly involved in extranodal lymphoma?

A

Stomach

64
Q

What agent is MALT lymphoma related to? What is the treatment?

A

H. pylori
Tx - usually regresses after treatment for H. pylori, triple therapy antibiotics and surveillance
If MALT does not regress, need chemotherapy (CHOP)

65
Q

What are the criteria for bariatric surgery?

A 
BMI > 40
BMI > 35 with coexisting comorbidities
Failure of nonsurgical methods of weight reduction
Psychological stability
Absence of drug and alcohol abuse
66
Q

What are the risk of a roux-en-Y gastric bypass?

A

Marginal ulcers, leak, necrosis, B12 deficiency (IF needs acidic environment to bind B12), iron deficiency anemia (bypass duodenum, when Fe absorbed), gallstones (from rapid weight loss)

67
Q

What is the MCC of leak in a RNY gastric bypass?

A

Ischemia

68
Q

What is dumping syndrome?

A

Occurs from rapid entering of CHO into the small bowel

69
Q

What are the 2 phases of dumping syndrome?

A

Hyperosmotic load causes fluid shift into bowel (diarrhea, dizziness, hypotension)
Reactive increase in insulin and decrease in glucose (2nd phase rarely occurs)

70
Q

What is the treatment for dumping syndrome?

A

Small, low-fat, low-CHO, increased-protein meals; no liquids with meals, no lying down after meals
