Q

MOA curling ulcer

A

usually from burns

burns cause hypovolemia which will shunt blood away from stomach leaving it prone to ischemia of mucosa

Q

lab values in chronic autoimmune gastritis

A

decreased acid (achlorhydria) so G-cells will be stiulated to make gastrin (increased gastrin) this will cause G cell hyperplasia which will increase risk for gastric cancer

small bowel

65
Q

how does carcinoid tumor cause carcinoid syndrome if it started in GI

it must metastasize to liver so it can dump serotonin directly into hepatic vein…this can lead to systemic effects esp in heart (right sided valvular )fibrosis…tricuspid regurg and pulmonary valve stenosis))

MAO in LIVER and lungs

mu opoid antidiarrheal drugs to slow motility

68
Q

MCC appendicitis children

A

lymphoid hyperplasia

fecalith in adults

69
Q

adverse biliary effect of mu opoid analgesics

A

mu opoid analgesics cause contraction of smooth muscles in sphincter of Oddi leading to increased pressures in CBD adn gall bladder (biliary colic)

70
Q

A

where vas recta transvese muscularis propria (weak point)…SIGMOID COLON

71
Q

complication of diverticla

A

rectal bleeding, divertaiculitis, FISTULAS (something colonic fistula)

72
Q

MCC site of angiodysplasia

A

cecum and right colon

due to high wall tension (as opposed to high stree on left which causes diverticula)

A

hereditary hemorhagic telangiectasia

74
Q

where is MCC site ischemic colitis

A

splenic flexure (most distal from SMA)

75
Q

mcc cause ischemic colitis

A

atherosclerosis of SMA

76
Q

when does ischemic colitis pain present

postprandial (when muscle demand of colon goes up)

77
Q

MCC colonic polyp

A

hyperpalstic (MCC) and adenomatous

78
Q

prognosis of hyperplastic polyp

A

great! has no malignant potential, usually arise in left colon (recto sigmoid) “serrateD”

79
Q

prognosis adenomatous polyp

A

PREMALIGNANT (ADENOMA-CARCINOMA SEQUENCE)

80
Q

mutations assocaited with adenomatous polyp

A

APC, KRAS, p53 mutation and increased COX expression

in that order!
APc.(chrome 5) creates risk for polyps (tumor suppressor).
this is the gene involved in FAP…

kras allows for formation of polyp
p53 allows polyp to turn into carcinoma (needs COX, so aspirin blocks this ;))

81
Q

increasd risk of colonic polyp malignancy

A

size greater than 2 cm
sessile growth (unpedunculated, grows directly on wall)
VILLOUS histology is the VILLAIN

82
Q

knock out of APC utation on chrom5

A

FAP, AD disorder…100-1000 adenomatous polyps

83
Q

FAP with fibromatosis and osteomas

A

gardner syndrome

84
Q

turcot syndrome

A

FAP with CNS tumors (medulloblastoma and gliaoma)

85
Q

numerous hamartomas throughout GI tract with hyperpigmented mouth, lips, hands, genitalia

A

putz jeghers AD

increase risk for colorectal, breast, and gyn cancer

86
Q

adenoma carcinoma sequence

A

APC -> kras -> p53 (+COX)

87
Q

besides adenoma cacinoma sequence what othe rmolecularpathway an lead to colon cancer

A

micosatellite instability (mutation of DNA mismatch repair)…seen in HNPCC

88
Q

HNPCC Lynch assocaited with higher risk of…

A

colorectal, ovarian, and endometrial

89
Q

napkin ring lesion, decreased stool caliber, pencilling, blood streaked stool

A

left sided carcinoma

90
Q

IDA, raised lesion, vague pain

A

right sided carcinoma

91
Q

patient with strep bovis endocarditis…what to do next

A

COLONOSCOPY

92

A

CEA

94
Q

venous component of internal vs external hemhorroids

A

internal - middle and superior rectal veins which communicate with internal iliac and inferior mesenteric veins
external - inferior rectal vein into interpudendal vein which communicates with internal iliac

95
Q

painless lower GI bleeding in child…how to confirm dx

A

suspect meckel’s
dx with Tcpertechnetate scan (searches for sites of ectopic gastric mucosa….i.e. parietal cells in areas where they aren’t supposed to be)

96
Q

how is copper removed form body

A

majority of copper absorbed in stomach and duodenum bound to albumin and taken to liver wehre it is incorporated to form ceruloplasmin which is then secreted into bBILE AND STOOL

excess NADH produciton due to alcohol dehydrogenase and aldehyde dehydrogenase IMPAIRS FREE FATTY OXIDATION

100
Q

MOA lactic acidosis due to mesenteric ischemia

A

in aerobic metabolism pyruvate is prferentially converted to acety CoA for for oxidative phosphorylation…but ischemia is due to decreased oxygen so pyruvate is shunted to lactate by lactate dehydrogenase leading to lactic acidosis

101
Q

what two substances can increase cholesterol solubility

A

bile acids and phospholipds (phosphotidylcholine)

lower levels of these are asssoicated with cholesterol stone formation
