32
intussuception
red currant jelly stools, telescoping of the bowel
33

gram positive microbe, reveals PAS positive foamy macrophages in the intestines, caused by tropheryma wipplei, impairs fat absorption in GI tract - steattorhea. weight loss, can also have neurologic symptoms and cardiac symptoms, joint involvement
34
gilbert syndrome
- mildy decreased activity of UDP glucuronosyltransferase compared to crigler nagar which is absent UDP glucuronosyltransferase - mildly asymptomatic but triggered with stress -recurrent scleral icterus and jaundice (build up of unconjugated bilirubin)
35
black liver
Dubin johnson, decreased excretion of hepatic bilirubin
36
sevelamer

37
stones in crohns disease
calcium oxalate
38
hep B must ___ hep D to be infective
coat (viral coating)
39
tumor stage marks
degree of spread (high stage means lymph node involvement)
40
Anti mitochondrial antibodies
Primary biliary cholangitis, Also granulomas and increased direct bilirubin and alk phos, fatigue, itching, cholestasis
41
Rb protein
Associated with human papilloma virus, can cause head and neck squamous cell carcinoma
42
spider angiomas in patients with cirrhosis
due to estrogen increase
43
copper accumulation in liver, brain, and cornea
wilson's disease -abnormal LFTs, neuropsychiatric symptoms
44
secretes bicarb in response to duodenal H+ to neutralize gastric contents
s cells - secretin
45
inhibit HMG Co-A reductase
statins
46
side effects of statins
hepatotoxicity, muscle toxicity
47
decreases intestinal cholesterol absorption
ezetimibe
48
increases hepatotoxicity if given with statins
ezetimibe
49
activate PPAR alpha, decreases VLDL synthesis

50
action of fibrates
decreases triglycerides, increases HDL
51
phenofibrate, gemfibrozil
fibrates
52
PPAR alpha
increases synthesis of lipoprotein lipase, used for severe hypertriglyceridemia. Increase HDL. Decrease VLDL
53
anatomic connection between the ileum and umbilicus resulting from incomplete obliteration of the vitelline duct
meckel diverticulum
54

ferroportin - decreases intestinal iron absorption
61
dilation of the ____ leads to hematemesis
left gastric

71
Alpha fetoprotein cancer marker
Hepatocellular carcinoma, germ cell tumor
72
CA 125 marker
Ovarian cancer
73

Hypothyroidism
76
Iron is absorbed in the
Duodenum and jejum
77
Patent urachus
Remnant if the allantois that extends from the bladder to the umbilical. Results in urinary drainage from the bladder through umbilicus
78
alcoholic hepatitis
neutrophil infiltration
79
acetaminophen overdose
- depletion of intrahepatic glutathione - over accumulation of NAPQI - mitochondria dysfunction - treat with N acetylcysteine
80
CCK
Stimulates gall bladder contraction after a meal
81
Impaired relaxation of the LES
Achalasia
82
diverticulosis
weakness in areas near the vasa recta (area that lacks structural integrity)
83
Zenker diverticulum
develops when the muscle between the throat and esophagus, known as the cricopharyngeus muscle, over-tightens, causing the throat above it to pouch out. Overtime, the pouch can enlarge as the muscles below it tighten excessively. Food can catch in this pouch or it can cause an obstruction.
