135
Q

tissue found in meckel diverticulum? most common?

A

could be gastric, pancreatic, colonic, jejunal, duodenal, endometrial. most common – GASTRIC. (significant bc epithelium produces acid –> cause ulceration of adjacent tissues & lower GI bleed)

136
Q

most common presentation of Meckel diverticulum

A

painless melena. could also become inflamed and stimulate clinical presentation of acute appendicitis.

137
Q

ectopy

A

identification of microscopically and fxnally normal cells/tissues in abnormal location due to embryonic maldevelopment (i.e. meckel’s diverticulum)

138

A

60% absorbed in STOMACH and DUODENUM

153
Q

pathway of copper upon absorption

A

stomach/duodenum absorption –> bound to albumin loosely –> liver –> incorporated into an alpha-2-globulin to form CERULOPLASMIN. ceruloplasmin accounts for 90-95% of circulating copper.

154
Q

normal total body copper

A

50-150 mg

155
Q

copper excretion

A

senescent ceruloplasmin & remainder of ingested unabsorbed Cu –> bile and extreted in stool. also small amt –> renal tubular secretion

156
Q

157
Q

colonizing aspergillosis

A

occurs in old lung cavities (i.e. from TB, emphysema, sarcoidosis) – fungus ball. does not invade lung tissue. asymptomatic or cough w/ hemoptysis. chest x-ray: radiopaque structure that shifts when pt changes position

allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis – wheezing, fever, migratory pulmonary infiltrates

159
