16
Q

essential in UGIB

A

control of acid

17
Q

what is mucosal damage by NSAIDs and aspirin method

A

inhibition of COX-1

18
Q

what does inhibition of COX-1 do

A

reduces mucosal generation of protective prostaglandins (PG) such as PGE2

19
Q

what increases risk of complications with GUD

A

duration and dose of NSAIDs
age
PMH
glucocorticoids, anticoagulants, clopidogrel, bisphosphonates SSRIs

20
Q

prostaglandin E analog

A

misoprostol

21
Q

what bad thing is COX-2 associated with

A

risk of cardiovascular disease

22
Q

how to test for h pylori

A

CLO
faecal test
urea breath tests

23
Q

what is the CLO test

A

biopsy on agar containing urea and pH → alkaline pH and colour change if present

24
Q

what to avoid with metronidazole

A

alcohol - as risk of disulfiram interaction

25
what to avoid with calrithromycin
simvastatin = myositis
26
severe UC management
oral glucocorticoids and combination therapy with high dose oral 5-ASA, suppository- 5ASA or steroid, steroid enema or foam
27
if a patient with UC is improving what do you give instead of IV hydrocortisone
oral prednisolone
28
Fulminant colitis treatment
IV glucocorticoids + broad spectrum antibiotics
29
Azathioprine is converted to
6-mercaptopurine
30
how is azathioprine converted
nonenzymatic nucleophilic attack by sulfhydryl-containing compounds
31
what to do before giving azathioprine
TPMT test needed to make sure its active
32
Infliximab
Monoclonal antibody binding to tumor necrosis factor alpha
33
when do you get high TNF alpha
rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, psoriatic arthritis, plaque psoriasis, Crohn’s disease and UC
34
what does TNF alpha do x6
``` induces proinflammatory cytokines enhancement of leukocyte migration activation of neutrophils and eosinophils leukocyte migration neutrophil/ eosinophil activation apoptosis of T cells ```
35
how to end steroids
gradually so you dont get addisons
