dyspepsia (food provoked or relflux-like)
silent
w/constipation or IBS sx

38
Q

Presentation of penetratin PUD?

A

localized intense pain that radiates to the back, not relieved with food or antacids

39
Q

A

severe, diffuse abd pain

40
Q

other complicated presentations of PUD?

A

vomiting
GI bleeding (IDA)
Gastrocolic fistula

41
Q

Tx of PUD?

A

acid suppression–helps stabilize blood clots
PPIs
somatostatin/octreotide (decreased blood flow, inhibit gastric acid sec.)
endoscopic
angiography w/transarterial embolization
surgery

42
Q

What symptoms comprise dyspepsia

A

postprandial fullness
early satiety
epigstric pain or burning

43
Q

A

dyspepsia+no evidence of structural disease

sx 3 of the last 6 months

44
Q

Types of functional dyspepsia?

A

postprandial distress syndrome

epigastric pain syndrome

45
Q

Why does functinoal dyspepsia occur?

A
gastric dysmotility
visceral hypersensitivity
h. pylori infection
altered gut microbiome (post infec.)
psychosocial
46
Q

Tx of functional dyspepsia?

A
antidepressants (tricyclics, trazodone)

A

catalase, oxidase, urease positive

48
Q

What type of epithelium does H pylori infect?

A

gastric type only

s noninvasive, but stimulates an imflamm resonse (IL-8 activates PMNs, recruits other cell types)

49

51
Q

H pyrlori associated Acid reflux causes what two types of gastritis?

A

corpus predominant

antrum predominant

52
Q

H Pylori assoc corpus-predominant gastritis features

A

decreased acid secretion due to local inflammation and increased cytokines, mild worsening with treatment

53
Q

H pyrlori assoc antrum predominant gastritis features

A

associated w/increased gastrin level

improvement with treatment

54
Q

57
Q

Tx for H pylori gastritis

A

Abx (2-3)
Acid suppression w/PPIs
10-14 day regiment

58
Q

How do NSAIDs cause gastroduodenal toxicity?

A

inhibits constitutively active COX1, which makes prostaglandins–have cytoprotective effects (ie/ mucin, bicarb and phospholipid secretion)
blocks cytoprotective effects of nitric oxide through NO synthase

59
Q

What are the 2 main repair mechanisms of gastroduodenal toxicity?

A

restitution-rapid migration of new epithelial cells from progenitor cells
proliferation-less rapid regeneration of new epithelial cells from progenitor cells
(prostaglandins and NO important in both)

A

No

62
Q

How do NSAIDs cause toxicity in stomahc?

A

block cox1 mediated prostaglandin production

interfere w/resitution and proliferation

63
Q

How do NSAIDs cause toxicity in the duodenum?

A

dependent on stomach acid

H2 blockers/PPIs to prevent

64
Q

How do NSAIDs cause toxicity in the small intestine and colon?

A

high local concentration necessary
localized injury->inflammation and ulceration->fibrosis and stricture
via inhibition of prostaglandins, alterations of blood flow and increased SI permeability

diaphragm (benign)
ulcers
