Lec 2 - GI disorders Flashcards
stage C2 colon/rectal cancer
B2 to regional lymph nodes
what are both the IBDs associated with
increased risk of colorectal cancer
are hemorrhoids serious
no
name two causes of malabsorption
problems with digestion
difficulty with absorption through intestinal wall
duodenal ulcers tend to develop in what kinds of people
young people
Type O blood
what causes pain with gall stones
contractions of the gallbladder
order of most to least common areas for ulcers
duodenum
stomach
lower esophagus
what happens to the brush borderwhen a celiac patient eats gluten
it becomes thickened and infiltrated with inflammatory cells
what happens when someone who has celiac eats gluten
they lose villous epithelium
what are some potential causes of crohns disease
autoimmune
genetics
diet
smoking
when will pain occur with gastric ulcers
right after eating - eating triggers acid release but theres nothing for the stomach to soak up yet
Describe the extent of damage between the two IBD
crohns: full thickness of wall
Ulcerative colitis: only the mucosa
when do colon and rectal cancer typically onset
after 50 years old
Name 5 ways duodenal ulcers are created
excess parietal cells
prolonged gastrin
too rapid gastric emptying
NSAIDs
cigarette stimulated acid secretion
Crohns disease is a ______ ______ disease
chronic inflammatory
what is the primary defect leading to gastric ulcers
abnormality that increases the permeability of mucosal barrier
what IBD only occurs in the rectum/colon
ulcerative colitis
what does the transport of chloride ions do
helps control the movement of water in tissues - necessary for production of thin mucus
what is a polyp
little outgrowth of tissue into the lumen of the LI
Stage D colon/rectal cancer
metastases in distant sites
Describe the different locations between the two IBD
Crohns: any region of GI tract (typically intestines)
Ulcerative colitis: rectum into colon ONLY
what are neoplams
they produce hormones that stimulate secretion
how do gallstones affect a person
blocks the flow of bile from gallbladder leading to pain
What is liver cirrhosis
end disease - enough damage has been done that it doesnt work anymore
how do we help irritable bowel
identifying personal triggers and avoiding those
what is a neoplasm
a cancer - can block the flow in the GI tract
how do excess parietal cells cause duodenal ulcers
they secrete acid, can cause a lower pH
what is a fistula
passageway that links an area of the SI with another
what ages are most common to have ulcerative colitis
20-40
What does the CFTR protein do
functions as a channel across the membrane of cells that provide mucus, sweat, enzymes etc
What gender is irritable bowel syndrome most common in
females
what can a barium xray do for UC patients
identify loss of haustra
how can pregnancy cause hemorrhoids
progesterone slows down motility of LI - constipation
also relaxes SM in LI and BV making varicosities more common
what is the most common symptom of duodenal ulcers
Pain 30min-2hr after eating
90-95% of stomach malignancies are ____
carcinomas
what are the three kinds of large volume diarrhea
osmotic
secretory
mixed (motility)
how does the body compensate with the removal of the gallbladder
the bile duct enlarges for storage
Name two treatments beside antacids for duodenal ulcers
PPIs
H2 blockers
Name the 5 main types of intestinal obstructions
hernia
volvulus
intussusception
neoplasm
adhesions
when do polyps become malignant and highly invasive
once they traverse the muscularis mucosae
How does alcohol cause cirrhosis
it becomes the primary metabolic feul
affects cell function
generates reactive oxygen species
what causes secretory diarrhea
bacterial endotoxins
neoplasmsw
stage A colon and rectal cancer
confined to mucosa
What does H pylori provoke
inflammatory response - can’t get rid of bacteria and ongoing inflammation damages mucosal cells
name some clinical signs of crohns disease
diarrhea
tenderness
malabsorption of B12
blood in stool
nausea etc
what occurs with appendicitis
the appendix gets blocked and therefore cannot drain - pressure inc
blood flow decreases and it can burst
