Q

Diviser les structures abdominales en forgut, midgut, hindgut

A

Foregut structures (stomach, duodenum, liver, gallbladder, and pancreas) are associated with upper abdominal pain.

Midgut derivatives (small bowel, proximal colon, and appendix) are associated with periumbilical pain.

Hindgut structures (distal colon and genitourinary tract) are associated with lower abdominal pain.

Q

Décrire le métabolisme normal de la bilirubine

A

Bilirubin is generated from heme products, primarily senescent red blood cells. A small portion is derived from myoglobin and maturing erythroid cells. Within the reticuloendothelial system, heme is oxidized to biliverdin, which is then converted to bilirubin. Unconjugated bilirubin forms a tight but reversible bond with albumin in circulation. It is passively taken into the hepatocytes, where it undergoes glucuronidation and at this point has become conjugated bilirubin. This conjugated fraction is secreted into the biliary system and emptied into the gut. Colonic bacteria metabolize the majority of the bilirubin to urobilinogen and stercobilin. Stercobilin is excreted in the stool (causing the stool to turn brown), and urobilinogen is reabsorbed and excreted in the urine. The remaining conjugated bilirubin is deconjugated and reenters the portal circulation to be taken up again by the hepatocytes (enterohepatic circulation). In the laboratory, conjugated bilirubin and unconjugated bilirubin are reported as direct and indirect fractions, respectively.

Quel est le danger d’une accumulation de bilirubine non conjuguée?

Q

Distinguer le volvulus gastrique primaire de secondaire

A

A primary (or subdiaphragmatic) volvulus occurs when the stabilizing ligaments are too lax or are congenitally abnormal in such a way that the stomach is able to twist on itself. Approximately one-third of cases are of this type.

Secondary (or supradiaphragmatic) volvulus occurs in patients with diaphragmatic defects such as a paraesophageal hiatal hernia, elevated diaphragm, gastric ulcer or carcinoma, diaphragmatic paralysis, extrinsic pressure on the stomach from other organs, or abdominal adhesions. The combination of one of these factors and ligamentous laxity makes a volvulus more likely.

A

Anti-HBcAg antibody generally is the best indicator of previous HBV infection, whereas anti-HBsAg antibody is the best marker for immunity to HBV.

The presence of anti-HDV in conjunction with IgM antibody to HBcAg suggests coinfection with HDV and HBV. Anti-HDV in association with IgG antibody to HBcAg supports the diagnosis of superinfection.

Décrire la vascularisation mésentérique

A

These become the celiac trunk, superior mesenteric artery (SMA), and inferior mesenteric artery (IMA), respectively. The celiac trunk arises from the anterior aspect of the abdominal aorta and branches into the common hepatic, splenic, and left gastric arteries. These vessels supply the distal esophagus to the duodenum at the entrance of the bile duct. The SMA normally arises 1 cm below the celiac trunk and runs toward the cecum, terminating as the ileocolic artery. The SMA supplies the distal half of the duodenum to the proximal two-thirds of the transverse colon. The IMA originates approximately 6 to 7 cm below the SMA and gives rise to the left colic artery, sigmoid arteries, and hemorrhoidal arteries. Anatomically, this vessel provides blood flow to the distal third of the transverse colon to the rectum.

The difference between cholera and noncholera Vibrio spp. versus V. parahaemolyticuslies in the mechanism of pathogenesis. V. parahaemolyticus produces disease via toxins that cause intestinal mucosal destruction, whereas cholera and noncholera Vibrio strains produce an enterotoxin in vivo that stimulates enterocyte adenylate cyclase, disrupting mucosal fluid absorption and leading to a secretory diarrhea.

Décrire l’intoxication au scombroide

A

Poissons les + fréquemment impliqués: mahi mahi, thon, tassergal (blue fish)

Scombroid fish poisoning results from the ingestion of heat-stable toxins produced by bacterial action on the histidine present in the dark meat of the fish. The bacteria responsible are normal constituents of the surface marine flora, rather than contaminants. The histidine decarboxylase activity of these organisms produces histamine and histamine-like substances, which cause the symptoms of scombroid fish poisoning. High levels of histamine in the fish correlate directly with the occurrence of the illness.

In general, the problem is caused by improper refrigeration by the supplier rather than being the fault of the restaurant serving the fish

While eating the fish, the patient may note a metallic, bitter, or peppery taste, although many affected fish do not have an abnormal odor or taste. Symptoms usually develop abruptly within 20 to 30 minutes and consist of facial flushing, diarrhea, severe and throbbing headache, palpitations, and abdominal cramps. Other manifestations may include dizziness, dry mouth, nausea and vomiting, and urticaria

Tx: diphenhydramine, 50 mg IM or IV, or cimetidine, 300 mg IM or IV, usually relieve all symptoms promptly

80
Q

Décrire l’intoxication au ciguatera

A

More than 400 fish species that frequent coral reefs have been implicated as ciguatoxin carriers, but fewer than 50 are commercially important; these include amberjack, barracuda, grouper, king mackerel, parrotfish, sea bass, snapper, sturgeon, surgeonfish, and ulua.

Ciguatoxin is produced by the marine dinoflagellate Gambierdiscus toxicus, which attaches itself to marine algae and is passed up the food chain. The lipid-soluble toxin accumulates in the tissues of the larger predacious coral reef fish

Ciguatoxin has anticholinesterase and cholinergic properties, but its neurotoxicity is mediated by its effect on sodium channels

The GI symptoms (eg, nausea, vomiting, profuse watery diarrhea, crampy abdominal pain, diaphoresis) tend to appear first and resolve over the first 24 hours. The constellation of neurologic symptoms consists largely of dysesthesias and paresthesias around the throat and the perioral area—burning feet, which may resemble alcoholic peripheral neuropathy, loose painful teeth, and sometimes CNS changes, such as ataxia, weakness, vertigo, visual hallucinations, and even confusion and coma.

Cold allodynia, defined as dysesthesia experienced on contact with cold water or cold objects, is almost pathognomonic of ciguatera poisoning and often is incorrectly referred to as cold-hot temperature reversal. Another classic feature is a return or a worsening of all the symptoms after ingestion of alcohol.

Ciguatera poisoning lasts an average of 1 to 2 weeks, but at least 50% of victims are still symptomatic at 8 weeks.

Pruritus may be managed with a histamine H1 receptor antagonist, such as diphenhydramine 25 mg PO qid, or cetirizine, 10 mg once daily. Amitriptyline, 25 mg bid, can bring about a dramatic reduction in the pruritus and dysesthesias, two of the most disturbing and protracted symptoms.

Pathogènes impliqués chez le VIH

A

In HAART-naïve populations, Cryptosporidium and CMV infections are the two most common causes

Chronic high-volume watery diarrhea often is indicative of small bowel disease from one of the coccidia, Cryptosporidium and Cystoisospora belli.

CMV and MAI also produce a chronic illness in those with CD4+ counts less than 100/mm3

Microsporidia fréquent si < 100

Salmonella infections, especially with S. typhimurium, are common in immunocompromised hosts. Patients with AIDS who acquire Salmonella enteritis are at increased risk for bacteremia and metastatic focal infection compared with normal hosts

Entérite bactérienne la + fréquente: C diff

Patients with a fulminating clinical course usually have a disseminated infection, such as infection with CMV or MAI complex. Massive weight loss is also associated with diarrhea caused by infection with those two organisms and the coccidia Cryptosporidium and Cystoisospora. Voluminous watery diarrhea usually is a result of one of the coccidial organisms, including Cyclospora and Isospora. Patients with a proctocolitis-like picture most often have herpes simplex virus or CMV infection

Ciprofloxacin, 500 mg PO, may be empirically initiated while the evaluation is in progress. If Giardia or C. difficile is suspected, metronidazole, 500 mg PO, should be added. If CMV colitis is suspected, foscarnet, 90 mg/kg IV, should be given
