GI CORE - Sheet1 Flashcards
dilated esophagus + ground glass in lung bases (+/- subpleural sparing)
scleroderma + NSIP
upper GI location: H pylori gastritis
antrum
upper GI location: zollinger ellison
ulcerations in stomach, duodenal bulb is most common location for ulcers (jejunal ulcer is buzzword)
upper GI location: crohns
uncommon in stomach, but when it is, it likes the antrum
upper GI location: menetrier
usually fundus (classically spares the antrum)
upper GI location: lymphoma
“crosses the pylorus”
infection location: giardia
duodenum
infection location: stronglyoides
duodenum
infection location: TB
terminal ileum
infection location: yersinia
terminal ileum
size of ulcers: herpes esophagitis vs. CMV + AIDS
Herpes Esophagitis = Multiple Small Ulcers
CMV and AIDS = Solitary Large Ulcer
squamous vs. adenocarcinoma esophageal cancer
Squamous Cell = Black Guy who drinks and smokes- mid esophagus
Adenocarcinoma = White Guy with reflux (history of PPls) - lower esophagus
uphill vs. downhill varices
uphill: portal HTN, bottom half of esophagus; downhill: SVC syndrome, top half of esophagus
traction vs. pulsion diverticulum
traction: triangular, will empty; pulsion: round, will NOT empty (no muscle in walls)
sliding vs. rolling esophageal hernias
sliding: GE junction above the diaphragm; rolling: GE junction below the diaphragm
Carney’s Triad vs. Carney’s Complex
Carney’s triad: extra-adrenal pheo, GIST, pulmonary chondroma; Carney’s complex: Cardiac myxoma, skin stuff, endocrine stuff
direct vs. indirect inguinal hernia: most common?
indirect is more common
direct vs. indirect inguinal hernia: location relative to inferior epigastric?
direct: medial to inferior epigastric, indirect: lateral to inferior epigastric
direct vs. indirect inguinal hernia: what went wrong?
direct: defect in Hesselbach triangle, indirect: failure of processus vaginalis to close
direct vs. indirect inguinal hernia: covered by spermatic fascia?
direct: NOT covered by internal spermatic fascia, indirect: covered by internal spermatic fascia
sigmoid vs. cecal volvulus:
sigmoid: old constipated person, points to RUQ; cecal: younger (mass, surgery, 3rd trimester), points to LUQ
regenerative vs dysplastic liver nodules contents
regenerative: contains iron, dysplastic: contains fat, glycoprotein
regenerative vs dysplastic liver nodules vs HCC: MRI signal
regen: T1 dark, T2 bright; dysplastic: T1 bright, T2 dark; HCC: T2 bright
regenerative vs dysplastic liver nodules vs HCC: enhancement
HCC enhances, regen + dysplastic do NOT enhance
FNH vs. fibrolamellar HCC central scars: T2 signal
FNH: T2 bright; FL HCC: T2 dark (usually)
FNH vs. fibrolamellar HCC central scars: enhancement
FNH: enhances on delays; FL HCC: does NOT enhance
FNH vs. fibrolamellar HCC: nucs
FNH: mass is SC avid (sometimes); FL HCC: mass is gallium avid
HCC vs. fibrolamellar HCC: cirrhosis?
no cirrhosis in FL HCC
HCC vs. fibrolamellar HCC: demographics
HCC: older (50-60s) vs. FL HCC: younger (30s)
HCC vs. fibrolamellar HCC: calcification?
HCC: rarely calcifies vs. FL HCC: sometimes calcifies
HCC vs. fibrolamellar HCC: AFP?
HCC: elevated AFP vs. FL HCC: normal
primary vs. secondary hemochromatosis: organs
primary: liver + Pancreas (heart, thyroid, pituitary) vs. secondary: liver + Spleen (RES)
primary vs. secondary hemochromatosis: what went wrong
primary: genetic, increased absportion vs. secondary: acquired, multiple transfusions
