Q

Similarities of Crohn’s and Ulcerative Colitis

A

Both a form of IBD (inflammatory bowel disease)

Q

What is a fat embolism?

A

fat globules are released from the yellow bone marrow into the bloodstream within 12 - 48 hours after an injury or other illness

these globules clog small blood vessels that supply vital organs- most commonly the lungs, and impair organ perfusion

carbonated beverages

spicy and acidic foods (OJ, tomatoes)

60
Q

calcium channel blockers

61
Q

3 MAJOR Drug therapy groups to manage GERD:

A

antacids

histamine blockers

proton pump inhibitors

these drugs also used for peptic ulcer disease

functions:

- accelerate gastric emptying
- protect gastric mucosa

62
