Exam 3 Material Flashcards
CCK
cholecystokinin, stimulates contraction of gall bladder to release bile, relaxation of sphincter of Oddi, release of pancreatic enzymes
Sphincter of Oddi
circular muscle that allows bile and pancreatic juices to enter the duodenum
Bile contains
bilirubin, bile salts, cholesterol, phospholipids, immunoglobulins
Choledocholithiasis
complication of cholelithiasis, obstruction of bile ducts
Cholecystitis
complication of cholelithiasis, inflammation of gallbladder
Cholangitis
complication of cholelithiasis, inflammation of bile ducts
Cholecystectomy
remove gall bladder
Lithotripsy
mechanically fragment stones with sound waves, pass out stones in stool
Litholysis
medications to dissolve gall stones, not always effective
ERCP
endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography, stone must be small size to be picked up by endoscope, can be diagnostic or treatment
HIDA scan
cholescintigraphy, ingest dye/tracer, goes through bile ducts, use scanner to visualize where bile should be going
Malaise
general discomfort
Islet of Langerhaans Beta cells
produce insulin in pro-hormone form (inactive), in pancreas
Islet of Langerhaans Alpha cells
produce glucagon, in pancreas
Diabetes Mellitis Type 1
Autoimmune disease where islet of langerhaans beta cells are destroyed (absolute insulin deficiency), Can be immune-mediated or idiopathic, common haplotypes: DR3-DQ2, DR4-DQ8 and variable number tandem repeats (VNTR) shorter (high risk) longer (protective)
Autoimmune response of Diabetes 1 at:
Islet cells, insulin, glutamic acid (insulin production)
Diabetes Mellitis Type 2
cells grow resistant to insulin, or there is defect in insulin receptor/secretion/action
ADbA guidelines for Fasting/preprandial Glucose
Goal: 70-130 mg/dl
ADbA guidelines for Peak Postprandial Glucose
<180 mg/dl, 2 hours after first bite of food
AACE guidelines for Fasting/preprandial Glucose
<110 mg/dl
AACE guidelines for peak post prandial glucose
<140 mg/dl, 2 hours after first bite of food
OGTT
2 hour oral glucose tolerance test, fasting glucose measured, given glucose, then glucose measured at 30 minute intervals
Diabetes diagnoses
Hb A1C > 6.5%. Fasting plasma glucose >126. 2 hour OGTT > 200. Casual plasma glucose >200 + symptoms. all done on 2+ occasions
IGT
Impaired glucose tolerance, pre-diabetes, 2 hour OGTT, >140 but <200
