Q

describe the pathogenesis of adhesions

A
  • MC type of intestinal obstruction in the US
  • peritoneal inflammation (congenital or acquired from surgery/trauma)–> adhesions/fibrous bridges–> entrapped viscera (internal herniation) –> obstruction , strangulation

Q

complications of external herniation (visceral protrusion of GI tract )

A

incarceration, strangulation, and infarction

-impaired venous return–>stasis/edema–> enlarged hernia, permanent entrapment (incarceration) –> arterial/venous compromise (strangulation) –> infarction

Q

AR DO presents in infants with inability to secrete triglyceride rice lipoproteins (APOB 48 and APOB 100) due to MTP mutation

A

abetalipoprotienima

  • APOB48 makes chylomicrons
  • APOB100 makes LDL VLDL

Q

congenital lactase deficiency vs acquired

A

congenital: (rare) AR DO with explosive osmotic watery diarrhea, frothy stools, ab distention all on consumption of milk
acquired: decrease regulation of lactase gene common in native americans, african americans, chinese/ sx: ab fullness, osmotic diarrhea, gas on consumption of dairy
* may be TEMPORARY kind following infections with similar symptoms

Q

4 types of diarrhea

A
  1. secretory - isotonic stool; persistent with fast
  2. osmotic- osm gap; decrease with fast
  3. malabsorptive- steatorrhea; decrease with fast
  4. exudative - purulent, bloody, persistent with fast

Q

grows as a submucosal polyp like nodule and secretes serotonin in urine

A

midgut carcinoid tumor (jejunum/ileum)

  • healthy liver = 5HIAA in urine and no carcinoid syndrome, heart disease
  • liver metastais = bypass liver and serotonin is systemic causing right heart disease (R valve collagen/fibrosis –> PS or TR) and carcinoid syndrome (flushing, diarrhea, bronchospasm)

16
Q

biological causes of malabsorption in lactose def

A

terminal digestion

17
Q

gross and histo of carcinoid tumor

A

gross: yellow/tan
histo: “salt n pepper” cytology
- dense core with neurosecreotry granules on EM (chromogranin A positive if midgut)

18
Q

pathogenesis of celiac disease

A

deaminated gliadin by tissue transglutaminase (tTG) is presented to CD4+ T helper cells via MHC II; the T cells imitate damage

19
Q

what is the most common cause of intussecpition in adults

A

tumor or mass

20
Q

4 main biological causes of malabsorption

A
  1. defect intraluminal digestion
  2. defect terminal digestion
  3. defect transepithelial transport
  4. defect lymphatic transport of lipids
21
Q

t/f

because lactase deficiency defect is biochemical a biopsy of the brush border will be normal

A

true

-where lactose is normally located

22
Q

3 variables of severity of SI infarction

A
  1. duration
  2. artery associated
  3. severity of compromise
23
Q

lab findings of celiac dz

A

IgA ab vs endymysion, tTG, and gliadin

*if IgA def then it is IgG type

24
Q

what is the most common cause of intestinal obstruction in children under the age of 2 yo

A

intusseception

-due to lymphoid (peters patch) hyperplasia due to rotavirus infection at the terminal ileum –> cecum

25
Q

biosy findings of celiac dz

A

flat vili, crypt hyperplasia, CD8 intraepithelial lymphocytes

*immune mediated damage of SI villi (most commonly the DUODENUM)

26
Q

cause of a transmural vs mucosal SI infarct and associated sx

A

transmural- hypercoaguble state and thromboembolism of the SMA or thrombosis of mesenteric vein

mucosal- marked hypotension (possibly shock)

sx: ab pain, BLOODY diarrhea, decreased bowel sounds (paralytic ileus- might need surgery)

27
Q

average size of midgut carcinoid tumor and what are it secretions

A

<3.5cm (but aggressive)

-secrete: serotonin, Substance P, and PYY

28
Q

biological causes of malabsorption in celiac dz

A

transepithelial transport and terminal digestion

29
Q

carcinoid tumor causes _____ if liver metastasis

A

chronic diarrhea

30
Q

twisting of the bowel about its mesentery

A

volvulus

-can lead to obstruction and infarction

31
Q

most common site of volvulus

A

elderly - sigmoid colon

young adult - cecum

32
Q

extra GI sx of celiac dz

A

dermatitis herpetiformis, iron def anemia, apthous ulcers, short state,

33
Q

MCC of malabsorption in the US

A
  1. pancreatic insufficiency
  2. celiac DZ
  3. Crohns (IBD)
34
Q

A

Chromogranin A + tumor cells

35
Q

A

36
Q

sx of abetalipoprotienima

A

FTT, diarrhea, malabsorption, steatorrhea, absent plasma lipoproteins (VLDL and LDL)
