65
Q

2 successive generations

1 < age 50

A

Peutz Jegher

68
Q

Gene for peutz jeger

A

STK11

69
Q

Differentiate peutz jegher and juvenile polypsis syndrome

A

Juvenile polyposis
- Won’t have pigmented lesions
- GEne is MKD4

70
Q

MoA of cholestyramine

A

Binds bile acids into non-absorbable complex, increases bile acid secretion in stool

Only use when colon still present(site of secretory diarrhoeaa)

If > 100cm ileum removed, can increase diarrhoea

71
Q

A/E of thiopurines

A

6- TGN -Myelosuppression, Skin cancer, lymphoma

6-MMP - Pancreatitis, Hepatitis

72
Q

Excess A/E on thiopurines but normal TPMT

Check metabolites

If excess 6-MMP, then shuntin occuring

Can reverse by addin in xanithine oxidase inhibitor and reducing AZA dose

73
Q

MoA of vedolizumab

A

a4b7 intergrin inhibitor

74
Q

Toxic megacolon
- Definition
- Causes

A

Abdominal pain, systemic toxicity, colon > 6cm

IBD and infectious (C diff)

75
Q

Treatment of IBD toxic megacolon

A

1) 3 days IV steroids
2) 3 days infliximab

Failing this, colectomy

76
Q

Fluclox causes what pattern of LFT derangement?

A

Cholestatic

77
Q

Hook like osteophytes, 2nd and 3rd MCP OA

A

Haemachromatosis

78
Q

Histopathology of alcoholic hepatitis

A

Neutrophil infiltration

79
Q

Function of hepcidin

A

Inhibits ferroportin
- This inhibits transport of iron from cells/enterocytes into blood, traps in in cells (liver, enterocytes, splenic macrophages)

80
Q

Iron in diet - what form?

A

Ferric - Fe3+

81
Q

Ionic changes of Fe3+ after ingestion

A

Converted to Fe2+ by ferroreductase (mediated by vitamin C) at apical enterocytes

Fe2+ in cells transported to blood, binds transferrin

To store as ferritin, Fe2+ converted back to Fe3+ (liver and enterocytes)

82
Q

When should PPI’s be given during the day?

A

Before first meal of the day

83
Q

Recurrent abdo pain, post prandial, chronic

No clear cause found - consider?

A

Arcuate ligament syndrome

84
Q

Pancreatitis - which blood marker strongest indication for ERCP in presence of gallstones?

A

Elevated bilirubin - indicates obstruction

85
Q

Nutrition for severe acute pancreatitis

A

NJ feeding

86
Q

Acanthocytes

A

Spiculated RBC’s

Severe liver disease

87
Q

Reason for post-op/chemo CT’s and CEA’s?

A

Detect oligometastatic disease

88
Q

Spindle shaped cells

A

GIST

89
Q

Suggest alternative diagnosis to prophyria?

A

Fever

90
Q

Stricturing Crohn’s disease
- Signs it is fibrostenotic
- Management in this case?

A

No surroinding inflammation

Upstream dilatation

> 10cm

Any of these, manage:
- endoscopically - < 5cm
- >5cm - surgicall with resection or strictureplasty

91
Q

Chemo most likely to cause tissue damage if it extravasates

A

Anthracyclines

92
Q

How many LN need to be sampled for CRC staging?

A

12

If inadequate sampling, and no nodes found, sample enough nodes –> biggest predictor of severity is node involvement

93
Q

Highest risk of premature menopause with chemo?

A

Older females (less ovarian reserve)

94
Q

Oraopharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma
- good prognostic factor?
- poor prognostic factors

A

Good - HPV positive

Bad - HPV negative, low p16, smoking, ETOH, EBV positive

95
Q

Mantle radiotherapy, 5 years after presents with weight gain, fatigue, irregular periods

A

Thyroid

NOT menopause as would expect soon after chemo
