Crohns

note: colorectal carcinoma is complication of both.

93
Q

Blind pouch protruding from alimentary tract that communicates with lumen of gut

A

Diverticulum (most often sigmoid colon)

Most are false: only mucosa and submucosa (where vasa recta perforate muscularis)

94
Q

Diverticulosis

A

Many false diverticula, usually sigmoid colon. Ass. with low fiber diet. common cause of hematochezia

95
Q

Colovesical fistula –>pneumaturia

so my first thought is fistula –>Crohns.

Its Diverticulitis classically. Give antibioitics. L sided appendicitis

96
Q

herniation of mucosal tissue btwn cricopharyngeal (CRIKEY BAHENCHOD) and thyropharyngeal tissue

A 
Zenker diverticulum (false)

A

Meckel (Rule of 2s)

99
Q

Dx ______ using Pertechnetate study for upate by ectopic ______ ______ (GI tract)

A

Meckels
Gastric Mucosa

failure to obliterate the omphalomesenteric (aka VITTELINE) duct

A

Meckels (can have ectopic gastric and/or pancreatic)

FAP vs Lynch

A

FAP: Mutated Tumor APC–>Thousands of polpys, 100% progress to CRC, always involves RECTUM

Lynch (HNPCC): Mutation DNA mismatch repair genes (+ microsatellite instability), No polyp, 80% CRC, PROXIMAL COLON always involved. Ass. with endometrial and ovarian cancer

114

Desceding: Colicky pain, hematochezia (bright blood), partial obstruction

115
Q

Iron deficiency anemia in males or postmenopausal women

116
Q

CRC pathogenesis

A
  1. Lynch: Mutation of dna repair; R sided, younger than 50

2. Sporadic: A-K-53, Adenoma to Carcinoma so begins with adenomatous polyp, L sided, older than 50

–>Ass w/hypercoagulable states, plycythemia vera, postpartum, HCC

126
Q

Genetics of alpha1 antitrypsin deficiency

A

Codominant trait (just like blood types)

127
Q

Why do newborns have jaundice (physiologic)?

A

Immature UDP-glucoronosyltransferase –>unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia –>jaundice and kernicterus (bilirubin in basal ganglia)

128

Sulfonamide toxicity (avoid in pregnancy)
Physiologic (immature UDP-G-T)
Criggler-Najjar

129

Alpha 1 antitrypsin def

–>misfolded protein aggregates in Endoplasmic Retic

131
Q

Wilsons disease via Slit Lamp Exam

Penicillamine Chelation
Trientine
Oral Zinc

133
Q

Testicular Atrophy, Cirrhosis (micronodular), Diabetes, Skin Pigmentation, HCC risk

A

Hemochromatosis

134
Q

Fe labs in Hemochromatosis

A

Increase Iron, Increase Ferritin so Decrease TIBC

The mutation causes hepatocyte to decrease uptake of Fe-Transferrin so senses low Fe so enhances uptake:

Decreased Hepcidin = increase Ferroportin = Increased Fe secretion into Circ= INCREASED TRANSFERRIN SAT

Iron loss through menstruation slows progression in women

135
Q

Tx of hemochromatosis

A

Phlebotomy
Chelation with Deferasirox, Fereoxamine, Deferipone

you can DEF use Phlebotomy for Hemochromatosis

136
Q

A

Biliary Tract Diseases (PBC, PSC, secondary biliary cirrhosis)

137
Q

Autoimmune destruction of Intralobular bile ducts in a Middle Aged Woman

A

Primary biliary cirrhosis
–>Anti-mitochondrial antibody
–>Anti-MAWtochondrial antibody
PBC is a channel for: MAW=Middle Aged Women

138
Q

Lymphocytic infiltrate and granulomas in intralobular bile duct + dark urine and pale stool (Middle Aged Woman)

A

Primary biliary cirrhosis

139
Q

Who watches PBC and what commercials are associated?

A 
Middle aged women and Grand-ulo-ma
Commericals for
-CREST
-Celiac Ceilings
-Rheumatoid Arthritis 
-Sjogren Syndrome
140
Q

Extrahepatic biliary obstruction that causes increased Pressure intrahepatic ducts = injury/fibrosis and bile stasis

A

Secondary Biliary Cirrhosis

141
Q

Patients with gallstones, pancreatic carcinoma, or any known obstructive lesion are at risk for which Biliary Tract Disease?

A

Secondary Biliary Cirrhosis

–>can be complicated by ascending cholangitis

142
Q

Concentric onion skin bile duct fibrosis

A

Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis

143
Q

Young men with Crohns or UC (IBD) at risk for which biliary tract disease?

A

Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis

144
Q

Hypergammaglobulinemia
p-ANCA
ass. with Ulcerative Colitis
Alt. strictures and dilation = beading of intra and extra hepatic bile ducts

A

Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis

145
Q

Patients with Biliary Tract Disease, i.e. Primary Biliary Cirrhosis, can have prolonged biliary obstruction leading to deficiency of:

A

Fat soluble vitamins (bile important for this)

146
Q

Why pale stool, dark urine, and pruritis in biliary tract disease (obstructive jaundice)?

A

“Whatever is in the bile is going to leak into the blood”
Pale stool: can’t put bile into the bowel
Pruritis: Bile acids leak into blood and deposit in skin
Dark Urine: CB is up, and remember its water soluble

147
Q

CB and UCB in Viral Hepatitis?

A

Both are UP because Viral Hep = inflammation that disrupts hepatocytes and small bile ductules

CB: damaging small BILE ductules
UCB: damaging hepatocytes

NOTE*: Dark urine because leakage of CB which is water soluble. However, Urine urobilinogen is normal/decreased (derivative of CB into the duodenum)

148
Q

Labs in Biliary tract diseases

A

Cholestatic pattern of LFTS =

Increased CB, Increased cholesterol, Increased ALP

149
Q

A

Cholesterol stone (radiolucent) aka cholelithiasis

150
Q

Fever, RUQ pain, Jaundice

A

Cholangitis classic triad

151
Q

Stones in in pt with Chronic hemolysis, alcoholic cirrhosis, biliary infections, TPN

A

Pigment stones

  • ->Black = radioopaque, hemolysis
  • ->Brown = radiolucent, infection

“You can lose a brown person in the crowd but you always see a black nigga”

152
Q

Gallstone –> Fistula btwn gallbladder and small intestine –> air (biliary tree) and stone goes into intestinal tract –> stone obstructs ileocecal valve

A

Gallstone ileus

153
Q

Inpiratory arrest on RUQ palpation due to pain

A

Murphy sign: Cholecystitis

if bile duct also gets involved, i.e. ascending cholangitis, will get an increased ALP

154
Q

How can Fibrate medication lead to gallstone formation?

A

Blocks Cholesterol —7alphahydroxylase —>Bile Acids

= decreases cholesterol solubility = precipitation/stone

155
Q

Tx for porcelain gallbladder (calcified edges due to chronic cholecystitis)

A

Take it out! Cholecystectomy as prophylaxis due to high conversion rates to gallbladder carcinoma

156
Q

Pancreatic adenocarcinoma: good or bad?

A

death within a year!!!! very aggressve.
Common at pancreatic head = obstructive jaundice
CA 19-9 (also can have CEA)

157

Obstructive jaundice with palpable, nontender gallbladder (Courvoisier sign)
A

Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma

159
Q

2 names to associate with Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma

A

Trousseau syndrome (migratory thrombophlebitis) and Courvousier sign (palpable, nontender gall bladder with obstructive jaundice –> pruritis, pale stool, dark urine)

160
Q

Redness and tenderness of the extremities

A

Migratory thrombophlebitis –> Troussea syndrome = indication of Visceral Cancer
(considered a paraneoplastic syndrome of hypercoagubility in pts with cancer)
