19
Q

What gives motor control to UES?

A

20
Q

What mediates OP swallowing?

A

21
Q

Tx of high up Zenkers?

A

22
Q

WHat is responsible for moving nondigestible products through the stomach?

A

MMC

23
Q

Phase(s) of solid food gastric emptying

A

Lag and linear phases

24
Q

T/F: Higher caloric density foods have faster gastric emptying.

A

False, empty slower

25
Q

What is the MMC?

A

Phase of emptying of the stomach and SI that occurs between meals.

26
Q

Does food stim or inhibit MMC?

A

Inhibits it

27
Q

What are three phases of MMC?

A
  1. Quiescent

2&3. Active stages

28
Q

How does fat in the ileum affect gastric emptying?

A

Fat in the ileum leads to GLP1 release which delays gastric emptying

29
Q

What is the best gastroparesis diet?

A

Low fat, low fiber

30
Q

What is the SE of domperidone?

A

breast discharge

31
Q

What is the mechanism of improvement with gastric pacemaker?

A

Improvement in gastric accomodation

32
Q

What tx of scleroderma induced SIBO can be helpful?

A

Low dose night time octreotide by inducing MMC overnight

33
Q

What would rectal exam show if internal anal sphincter problem in scleroderma? What would happen on balloon expulsion?

A

Weak resting sphincter tone, normal balloon expulsion time

34
Q

Achalasia is too much of what neurotransmitter?

A

ACh

35
Q

Which type of achalasia responds best to dilations?

A

Type 2

36
Q

Besides achalasia type, which other factors predict good response to dilations?

A

Age > 45, females, smaller initial diameter

37
Q

Name the 3 types of achalasia

A

Type 1 - absent peristalsis
Type 2 - pan eosphageal pressurization
Type 3 - SPastic achalasia

38
Q

What is the best predictor of response in achalasia?

A

Post dilation LES pressure < 10 mmHg

39
Q

T/F: Hot meals have higher gastric empyting than cold meals.

A

False, temp does not make a difference

40
Q

What NTs are responsible for ileal brake?

A

Peptide YY & GLP1

41
Q

How does neostigmine work?

A

AChE inhibitor

44
