h. pylori

29
Q

2 types of drugs used to treat peptic ulcers

  1. gingivitis
  2. crohns
  3. sarcoidosis - granulomatous
31

34
Q

2 types of peptic ulcer

A

gastric + duodenal

35
Q

infection by which bacteria causes peptic ulcers

A

h. pylori

36
Q

how do H2 receptor agonists treat peptic ulcers

A

reduce acid secretion - block histamine H2 receptor

-idine

37
Q

how do prostaglandin analogues treat peptic ulcers

A

inhibit acid secretion + increase mucus + bicarbonate

38
Q

how do proton pump inhibitors treat peptic ulcers

A

stop final step in acid production - action of H+/K+ atlases pump

39
Q

how do antacids treat peptic ulcers

A

weak base that interact with acid to produce salts + neutralise - this inactivates pepsin

40
Q

how to chelates treat peptic ulcers

A

coat mucosa - physical barrier, stimulate bicarb + mucous, inhibit pepsin

e.g. sulfracate - xerostomia + metallic taste

41
Q

3 components of triple therapy against h. pylori

A

proton pump inhibitors, clarithroymicin (do not give in history of UC), metronidazole/amoxicillin

42
Q

dental side effect of omeprazole

A

xerostomia

43
Q

what antibiotics does antacids reduce absorption of?

A

tetracyclines - dentists can prescribe doxycycline

44
Q

how does omeprazole effect dental IV sedation?

A

inhibits metabolism of diazepam - may overstate

45
Q

if a patient with a peptic ulcer needs prednisolone or NSAIDs what might you have to co-prescribe?

A

Proton pump inhibitor

46
Q

3 ways individuals become malnourished

A
  1. inadequate intake
  2. excessive loss
  3. increased metabolic requirements
47
Q

nutritional screening vs nutritional assessment

A 
screening = any health care workers
assessment = nutritional expert
48

Q

what is pernicious anaemia?

A

autoimmune disease - ab against intrinsic factor

53
Q

3 complications of peptic ulcers

A

perforation, bleeding, stricture

54
Q

-oscopys also offer opportunity for what?

A

biopsies

55
Q

what is diverticulitis?

A

mucosa out-patches through wholes in walls - popular in 65+yrs = diverticular disease

if become inflamed = diverticulitis

which parts of GI system can you not get direct vision?

A

jejunum + ileum

57
Q

which medications cause indigestion? and how can this be combated?

A

aspirin + NSAIDs

give PPI

58
Q

why is hiatus hernia important if patient having GA?
