gastric vs dueodenal ulcer similarities and diff
gastric pain WORSE with food
duodenal ulcer pain BETTER eating
gastric and duodenal ulcers are associated with what infection
h pylori
pt with gastritis/ulcers not responding to tx, what are you concerned about?
gastric carcinoma
most digestion takes place
jejenum aand ileum
post gastric digestion begins in
duodenum
what portion of small intestine is shorter
jejenum
what portion of small intestine has more lymphatic and vascular activity
ileum
intususseption kids vs adults
kids can be normal
adults = BAD = tumor, obstruction, infarction. older pt gets, more likely obstruction > infarction
colon microbiology changes
outer layer is replaced by teniae coli (longitudinal smooth muscle); swaps out squeezing of small intestine for twisting contraction
internal syphincters are mediated by
stretch reflex; autonomic
external syphincters are mediated by
somatic voluntary skeletal muscle
appendicitis clinical characteristics
global periumbilical pain to RLQ
N/V, constipation, no gas
left shift CBC
McBurneys/rebound tenderness
diverticulitis clinical characteristics
similar to appendicitis but on LEFT side
diverticuli definition
herniation of colon mucosa through muscularies, submucosa, and adventitia; added “pouch” off haustration
diverticulosis vs diverticulitis
- osis = have diverticuli
- itis = inflammation of diverticula (usually sigmoid colon)
colorectal carcinoma is associated with
UC, familial polyposis coli, Crohn’s; other inflammatory bowel dz
chron’s disease / regional enteritis sx
chronic granulomatous dz
mostly in small bowel (terminal ileum)
skip lesions/cobblestoning appearance (thick intestinal wall, lumen narrowed “string sign”)
fistulas to vagina, anus, bladder, peritoneum
polyarthritis, sacroiliitis
iritis, optic atrophy
chron’s dz vs ulcerative colitis
both young, caucasion; both can have iritis
crohn’s: beginning in terminal ileum, more painful, unexplained pain
UC: more diarrhea than pain, rectum or whole colon
UC sx
may be only rectum or cont in whole colon
ulceration with pseduopolyps (regenerating mucosa)
bloody mucoid diarrhea, stringy mucous
perforation, toxic megacolon
iritis
celiac dz etiology
gluten sensitive enteropathy
malabsorption secondary to inflammatory luminal swelling > cross antigen AI stimulation
crohn’s/UC like presentation
IBS dx
dx of exclusion
acute pancreatitis vs pancreatic cancer presentation
acute pancreatitis = VERY painful (epigastric radiating to mid back)
cancer = painless
causes of acute pancreatitis
obstructions/gallstones, heavy alcohol, choline deficiency
____ triples risk of pancreatic cancer
heavy tobacco smoking
liver failure indirect effects
clotting dysfunction
no removal of hormones > hormonal sx
3 regions of aorta in GI tract/vascular supply
celiac artery > esophagus, stomach, prox duo (foregut)
sup mesenteric > disital duo, rest of small int, asc colon (midgut)
inf mesenteric > transverse colon, rectum (hindgut)
sympathetic supply of GI
celiac > esophaus, stomach, prox duo
inf mesenteric > distal duo, everything else
parasympathetic supply of GI
CN 10 (vagus) > esophagus, somatic, small int, asc colon
pelvic splanchnic (S2,3,4) > transverse colon, rectum
3 branches off celiac artery
right gastric off hepatic
left gastric off celiac
gastroepiploic and short gastric off splenic
most abdominal circulation drains back through
liver/portal circulation
vein drainage to GI
stomach, esophagus > portal v
small int, asc colon > sup mesenteric v > portal
transverse colon, rectum > inf mesernteric v > splenic v > portal
portal backups/HTN happen in
anastomatic areas
hemmorhoidial plexi > hemmorhoids
esophageal venus plexi > esophageal varices
umbilical v > caput medusae (roadmap of v on abdomen)
2 most common causes portal HTN
alcoholic cirrhosis
pregnancy

autonomic
PNS: excitatory, vagus + pelvic splanchnic
SNS: inhibitory, prevertebral ganglia (T8-L2)

common site for mets
liver
cholecystitis vs cholelithiasis
cystitis: inflammation of GB, RUQ pain worse with eating
lithiasis: gallstones, often asymp, or same sx as cystitis
major risk of cholelithiasis
