17
Q

complication of chronic gastritis due to H.pylori

A

↑ risk of:
MALT lymphoma (due to chronic lymphocyte infiltration)
gastric cancer

18
Q

stomach biopsy shows neutrophils above BM, loss of surface epithelium, fibrin-containing purulent exudate

A

acute gastritis

19
Q

stomach biopsy reveals lymphoid aggregates in lamina propria, columnar absorptive cells, atrophy of glandular structures

A

chronic gastritis

20
Q

diffuse thickening of gastric folds, elevated serum gastrin levels, biopsy reveals glandular hyperplasia without foveolar hyperplasia

A

ZE syndrome (gastrin secreting tumor of pancreas)

21
Q

causes of gastric ulcers

A

H pylori - 70% (↓ mucosal protection)

NSAIDs (gastritis → ulceration)

22
Q

gastric acid erodes through mucosa into submucosa

A

if in stomach: peptic ulcer

in duodenum: duodenal ulcer

23
Q
upper abdominal and epigastric pain AFTER eating (↑ H production after eating)
weight loss (avoid eating)
A

gastric ulcer

24
Q

complication of gastric ulcers (due to H. pylori or NSAIDs)

A

↑ risk gastric cancer (take biopsy around ulcer to ensure no cancer)

25
Q
upper abdominal and epigastric pain RELIEVED by eating (HCO3 production in duodenum after eating)
pain returns several hours after eating
weight gain (eating makes it better)
biopsy: clean, smooth borders with H.pylori in ulcer, hypertrophy of Brunner glands in duodenum (submucosal)
A

duodenal ulcer

26
Q

causes of duodenal ulcers

A

H. pylori (↓ mucosal protection) - 95%

ZE syndrome - rare - (secrete gastrin - ↑ gastric acid)

27
Q

complications of gastric + duodenal ulcers

A

ulcerate into vessel → hemorrhage

perforation (esp duodenal ulcers) → peritonitis

28
Q

treat actively bleeding peptic ulcer

A

somatostatin (octreotide) ↓ splanchnic blood flow

29
Q

most common cause of gastric + duodenal ulcers

A

H pylori

30
Q

treatment for irradicating H pylori

A

triple therapy:
PPI + clarithromycin + amoxicillin (if pen allergy: metronidazole)
quad therapy (if resistance to clarithromycin):
PPI + bismuth + metronidazole + tetracycline

31
Q

treatment for neutralizing gastric acid to protect stomach + ↓ gastric acid secretion (prevent gastric ulcers, also adjuncts for H. pylori infection)

A
neutralize stomach acid: antacid
↓ gastric acid secretion: H2 blockers, PPIs
less commonly used: 
bismuth + sucralfate
misoprostol
32
Q

precursor to gastric adenocarcinoma
hypertrophy of mucus producing cells → rugae look like gyri of brain
atrophy of parietal cells → ↓ gastric acid production
enteric protein loss → hyopalbuminemia → edema

A

Menetrier disease

33
Q

most common type of cancer in GI tract

A
adenocarcinoma
except esophagus (can have esophageal squamous cell carcinoma in smokers too)
34
Q

risk factors for gastric adenocarcinoma

A
H pylori infection
chronic gastritis
nitrosamines (cured, smoked)
men >50 yo
japanese people in Japan
35
Q

weight loss +

mass in L supraclavicular node (Virchow node)

A

metastasis of GI cancer (usually gastric adenomcarcinoma)

36
Q

metastasis of gastric adenomcarcinoma

A
L supraclavicular node (Virchow node)
periumbilical node (sister mary joseph nodule)
mets to bilateral ovaries (Krukenberg tumor)
37
Q

> 40 yo with new acanthosis nigricans (velvety darkening of skin, near neck)

A

diabetes

50% have visceral malignancies: stomach cancer

38
Q

signet ring cells: mucous in cytoplasm pushes nucleus to periphery

A

1) gastric adenocarcinoma
may be from ovary biopsy (krukenberg tumor - gastric cancer with mets)
mucous in cytoplasm pushes nucleus to periphery
2) lobular carcinoma in situ (LCIS) or invasive lobular carcinoma

39
Q

pylorus hypertrophied → narrowed gastric outlet → ↓ stomach emptying
nonbillious projectile vomit
presents 2-6 wks of age
palpable olive structure in epigastric region
most common in firstborn males, most common congenital surgery in 1st mo of life

A

congenital pyloric stenosis

40
Q

diarrhea can cause

A

hypokalemia

41
Q

prolonged vomitting (days-wks) can cause

A

vomit HCl from stomach →
hypochloremia
metabolic alkalosis (low serum H+ concentration) → correct alkalosis in serum at K/H exchanger: cells release H+ from cells to serum, K+ from serum to cell → hypokalemia (vs acidosis: H+ out → hyperkalemia)

42
Q

treatment of Zollinger-Ellison syndrome

A

high dose PPI

sporadic: surgery to resect
metastatic: somatostatin analog (octreotide), IFN, chemo, radiothearpy
