How can pancreatic insufficiency occur with CF? What are the affected enzymes?
Decreased Bicarb
Pancreatic lipase, colipase, phopholipases
How will autoimmune hepatitis present?
Hepatitis symptoms with normal bile ducts & autoimmune disease
Increased anti-smooth muscle antibodies
PSC
Men in their 40s, strong UC association
on ERCP “Beading” of bile ducts
PBC
middle aged women with antimitochondrial antibodies
granulomas destroy bile ducts in portal triads, CREST, RA, celiac
Secondary biliary cirrhosis
caused by obstruction of bile duct outside of liver
Indirect hernia
protrudes through the deep inguinal ring lateral to the inferior epigastric vessels
long term anabolic steroid use
can lead to gynecomastia
decreased testicular size
liver damage
Whipples disease
characterized by arthritis, arthralgias, weight loss & diarrhea
Salmonella typhi
lactose negative bacteria
HS produced in culture
elicits a host immune response upregulating cAMP directly

virulent lactose negative rod that invades the colon & produces protein synthesis inhibiting toxin
No HS

Degree surfaces involved:
1) Mucosal
2) Mucosal & submucosal
3) Transmural
Findings:
1) focal or diffuse erythema, edema, hemorrhage, no scar
2) ulceration, vescicles, exudates, scar with possible stricture
3) Deep ulcer, black discoloration, perferation
Campylobacter infections
common cause of inflammatory gastroenteritis and can be acquired from domestic animals
associated with Guillain-Barre
Systemic Mastocytosis
characterized by abnormal proliferation of mast cells & increased histamine release
Histamine causes hypersecretion of gastric acid by parietal cells
