Asians

25
Q

Example of an ileal disease

Crohn’s Disease (causes bypass; a risk factor for cholelithiasis

26
Q

How many percent are asymptomatic for gallstones in their lives?

A

70-80%

27
Q

Which is more dangerous? Big stones or small stones?

A

Small. Because these can enter canaliculi

28
Q

If the patient has cholesterol stones, how is this managed?

A

Diet and lifestyle

Q

3 things you need to make a pretty stne

A

Lecithin + Bile Salts + Cholesterol

31
Q

Acute acalculous (cholecystitis w/o lithiasis) type chronic active cholecystitis results from

A

Weakening of the mucosal layer of the GB resulting to ischemia (immunocompromised)

32
Q

Outpuchings of mucosa in chronic inflammation

A

Rokitansky-Aschoff sinuses

33
Q

Acute acalculous (cholecystitis w/o lithiasis) type chronic active cholecystitis results from

A

Weakening of the mucosal layer of the GB resulting to ischemia (immunocompromised); predisposes to bacterial invasion

34
Q

Outpuchings of mucosa in chronic inflammation

A

Rokitansky-Aschoff sinuses

35
Q

Most common reason for emergency cholecystectomy

A

Acute cholecystitis

36
Q

Where is incidence of gangrene and perforation higher? In calculous or acalculous cholecystitis?

A

Acalculous

37
Q

Strawberry GB

A

Cholesterolosis

38
Q

Difference between deposition of cholesterol in cholesterolosis and cholelithisais

A
  • losis: subsurface

- lithiasis: intima

39
Q

3 classifications of adenoma

A

tubular, papillary, tubulo-papillary

40
Q

when is adenoma diagnosed?

A

after surgery

41
Q

Where is the opening near in a choledococoele

A

near the opening of the bile duct

42
Q

A congenital dilation of the duct wherein there is a stagnation of bile predisposed to inflammation and irritation

A

Caroli’s Disease

43
Q

A congenital dilation of the duct wherein there is a stagnation of bile predisposed to inflammation and irritation

A

Caroli’s Disease (rosary-like dilations)

44
Q

Main endocrine fxn of the pancreas

A

insulin production

45
Q

Main exocrine fxn of the pancreas

A

Digestion enzymes (w/o it = diarrhea)

46
Q

Congenital pancreatic anomaly that predisposes to obstruction of certain anatomic structures resulting to poor drainage

A

Annular pancreas

47
Q

What can annular pancreas obstruct?

A

Ureters

48
Q

What can annular pancreas obstruct?

A

Ureters

49
Q

Most common clinically-significant congenital anomaly of teh pancreas

A

Pancreas divisum

50
Q

How many pancreas are in pancreas divisum?

A

One, looks like two due to failure of fusion

51
Q

Horror of horrors among surgeons

A

Duct aberrances (each and every duct has to be isolated and closed manually to prevent leakage and re-surgery)

52
Q

T or F: Radioimaging is safe for duct aberrances

A

F. May cause pancreatitis

53
Q

Other name of aberrant pancreas

A

choristoma

54
Q

The only manifestation of aberrant pancreas

A

noticeable bulge in the abdomen

55
Q

Pancreatic enzymes

A

1) Protease (for digestion of proteins)
2) Lipase (for fat; cleaves FA from TGs; FFAs react with Ca2+ to do saponification = chalky precipitates, Ca2+ in serum decreases)
3) Elastase (attacks elastin which strengthens the vessel walls= hemorrhage pancreatitis)

56
Q

Most common pancreas problem

A

Pancreatitis

57
Q

Most common pancreas problem

A

Pancreatitis

58
Q

Pancreatitis etiologic agents

Alcohol
Stones
Idiopathic
Others (surgeries, ischemia, etc.)
