imaging - x-ray shows “thumb printing” colonic dilation and edema
dx: CT angio = gold standard

22

  1. spastic colon ( chronic pain, constipation )
  2. alternating diarrhea/constipation
  3. chronic painless diarrhea
23
Q

poor anal hygiene or extreme hygiene causing irritation

sx: perianal itch, discomfort
- dx of exclusion

25
Q

sx of ischemic colitis

A

sudden onset of cramping which is worse after food = “food fear” ; LLQ pain, desire to defecate, blood diarrhea, N/V , periumbilical pain unproportional to tenderness

*pt young assoc with hx of cocaine use

26
Q

what is the complication associated with secretory diarrhea

A

does not change with fasting,

the loss of lots of water can lead to electrolyte imbalances, decreased sodium, and metabolic acidosis

27
Q

tx and complications of severe acute pancreatitis

A

tx: w/i 48 hour start nasogastric/jejenual tube feeding to decrease risk of multiorgan failure
complications: decreased blood volume due to 3rd spacing leading to ATN, prerenal azotemia in 24 hr ; pleural effusion, psedocysts

28
Q

how to diagnose gonorrhea vs trepenoma in the cause of proctitis

A

gonorheea: swab and culture from pharynx too
chlamydia: dark field microscopy or flourescent Antibody test

29
Q

pyrosis means

heart burn

A

severe pain during defecation with following throbbing, mild hematochezia,

32
Q

complication associated with hemorrhoid

A

thrombosed external hemorrhoid (blueish perianal nodule covered with skin)

33
Q

A

GB gangrene

34
Q

“cowden dz”

  • hamatomous polyps, lipomas thru GI, trichilemmonas (face/neck), and cerebellar lesions
  • high malignancy rate in thyroid breath and GU
38
Q

x ray of acute pancreatitis

A
  1. “sentinel loop” LUQ air

2. “Colon cutoff sign” transverse colon gas with abrupt end and lower lung atelectasis

39
Q

steps when patient presents to clinic with hematemisis (sign of UGIB)

A
  1. admit to ICU (sick? not sick/stable?)
  2. asses hemodynamic status (shock? confusion?)
  3. stabilize with 2 large bore IV lines (one in each arm)
  4. EGD within 24 hr (can be dx and tx)
  5. pharm: IV/oral PPI, octreotide (if portal HTN suspected)
