GI Part 2 Flashcards
innate mechanisms of GI protection
microflora
B cells, T cells, DC
tight junctions
IgA
goblet cells/mucus
two mechanistic types of diarrhea
inflam
non-inflam
three mechanistic categories of diarrhea
induce intestinal secretion (enterotoxins - E.coli)
induce inflam
invasion
small bowel diarrhea
- freq
-volume
-mucus
-blood
-tenesmus
-urgency
-dyschezia
-vomit
-weight loss
-steatorrhea
normal/mildly increased frequency of defecation
normal-increased fecal volume
mucus absent
melena
tenesmus absent
urgency absent
dyschezia absent
may have vomiting
weight loss often present
steatorrhea may be present
large bowel diarrhea
- freq
-volume
-mucus
-blood
-tenesmus
-urgency
-dyschezia
-vomit
-weight loss
-steatorrhea
marked increase in frequency of defecation
decreased fecal volume
mucus present
hematochezia
tenesmus present
urgency present
dyschezia present
vomiting infrequently present
infrequent weight loss
steatorrhea often present
examples of congenital segmental defects & aplasia
stenosis
atresia
persistent meckle’s diverticulum
omphalomesenteric duct (stalk of yolk sac)
confused with cecum
all layers of bowel wall + communicates with lumen
white lethal foal syndrome
breed?
mutation?
result?
aganglionosis (reductions/absence of ganglion cells)
paint horses
mutation in the endothelin receptor B gene
colonic hypoplasia
parts of intussusception and causes
telescoping, intussusceptum (entrapped part) then intussuscipiens (enveloping part) resulting in currant jelly stools, strangulation of bowel (gangrene. septic, shock)
irritability & hypermotility
sequela of intestinal vascular compromise (torsion & volvulus)
infarction
increased intestinal permeability
endotoxemia
sepsis
rupture
peritonitis
most common GI neoplasia in cats & ruminants
soft, white-tan, homogenous, soft mass or diffuse thickening of GI wall → stenosis and ulceration
intestinal/alimentary lymphoma
most common GI neoplasia in dogs/sheep
intestinal adenocarcinoma
sequale of IBD
malabsorption
protein-losing enteropathy
pathogenesis of histiocytic ulcerative colitis or granulomatous colitis
invasive E.coli that causes infiltration of histiocytes that contain PAS positive material
NSAIDS cause what in horses
right dorsal ulcerative colitis
most common cause of colic in horses
strangulating lipoma
granulomatous and proliferative enteritis in a horse
Lawsonia intracellularis
Clostridial perfringens lesions
necrohemorrhagic enterocolitis & toxemia
what Clostridium causes necrohemorrhagic enteritis & abomastitis, hemorrhagic bowel syndrome, antibiotic enteritis in horses/rabbits and colitis X in horses
type A
