Q

bile billy and ammonia

A

Bile salts aid in digestion by making cholesterol, fats, and fat-soluble vitamins easier to absorb from the intestine. Bilirubin is the main pigment in bile. Bilirubin is a waste product that is formed from hemoglobin (the protein that carries oxygen in the blood) and is excreted in bile.
Ammonia is protein breakdown that turns into urea in the liver and leaves

51
Stomach cancer patho history rt and associations
Adenocarcinoma of stomach wall usually spread by diagnosis RT mucosal injury-Hpylori, autoimmune disorders, NSAIDS, tobacco Association-smoked meats, salted fish/meats, pickled veggies
52
Manifestations of stomach cancer
Weight loss, saticty- full fast, indigestion, ab pain, anemia-blood loss or pernicious , weak fatigue, SOB, OB positive stool, Acities=poor prognosis- seeding of cancer cells introperitoneal cavity and no cure
53
Diagnosis for stomach cancer | and labs

54
tx for stomach cancer
surgery legions in fundus means full gastrectomy biliroth 1 and 11 with vegotomy or pyloric re monitor fluids, cuts vegas nerve so no acid, dumping syndrome-slow meals no sugar or fat bile reflux gastritis- enzymes and acid go up too chemo radiatin HyperTN S/S
55
Lower GI obstruction types
Mechanical- Detectable, commonly found in sm intestine, surgical adhesion-small intest and colorectal cancer-Large intest non mechanical- Paralytic illeus, pseudo- acting like theres an obstruction- critically ill, trauma, burns. vascular- no blood to intestines- a fib, art obstruction, clots, heart valve issues, heart attack, congestive fail

Tx for lower GI obstruction | When do you need surgery
conservative, NPO, rest, NG tube, IV fluids-NS or lac ringers, Pain control if strangulated or tx not effective, May need colonosctomy or illiostomy

Abcess
71
risks for diverticulitis
Obesity, inactivity, smoking, alcohol use, NSAIDS increased fiber decreased carbs constipation
72
Manifestations of dive losis
No symptoms, ab pain, bloating, flatulence, change in bowel, can lead to itis or bleeding.
73
Manifestations of deverticulitis | and can lead to-
Pain in LLQ, distention, decreased or no bowel sounds, NV, infection- fever leukocytosis-shift to the left, erosin and perf into peritoneum, localized abcess, bleeding can be extensive but stops spontaneously, strictures
74
What is the gold standard for divertic test
ct with oral contrast | CBC, berium enema, cloonoscopy w. biopsy, blood culture, colonoscopy
75
Care for divertic
Increase fiber to prevent, high activity-prevent Clear lq, bed rest, pain Severe- Hospitalization (For when you can't have PO Fluids, symptomatic of infection, or immunosuppressed. NPO, Bed rest, IV fluids, antibiotics, watch infection, strict I and O NG on low,
76
Surg for divertic indications
Reoccuring abcess or obstruction, resection , diverting colonostomy
77
