|
alright, we know H pylori can lead to chronic gastritis, duodenal ulcer, MALT lymphoma, gastric ulcer. whats the micro?
|
spiral bacilli
common with poverty, crowding, developing country ORAL ORAL or ORAL fecal Gastritis is initially antral, pangastritic --> atrophy --> decreased acid --> increased risk of adenocarcinoma |

1. Fibrinoid debis in ulcer base
2. acute non specific inflammation 3. granulation tissue 3. fibrosis/scar **there is chronic gastritis in surrounding mucosa and hyperplastic mucosa surrounding the crater |
|
we are looking through an endoscope and see a white nasty lesion with pus. We take a biopsy and look in the lab and it shows areas of chronic gastritis in surrounding mucosa and hyperplastic mucosa right near the lesion. The lesion itself shows a layer of fibrinoid debris, acute non specific inflammation, granulation tissue and even scarring. what did we biopsy
|
peptic ulcer
|
|
what are hte sx of peptic ulcer disease,
whats the clinical course of PUD whats the complications of PUD |
Sx: epigastric burning/aching pain, radiates to back on L. Worse at night. Occurs 1-3 hrs after meals. Occult fecal blood, GI hemorrhage, NV, bloating, weight loss
Course: chronic, recurring. slow to heal w/o therapy. heals in weeks with therapy. Complications: bleeding, perforation, Gastric outlet obstruction. NOT CANCER |
|
ok so we had a pt with epigastric pain 1-3 hrs after eating, worse at night and fecal occult blood and weight loss. Endoscope showed a single lesion with fibrinous debris and thickening and scarring. the leiosn looked punched out. What are some complications this pt might encounter
|
PUD
Bleed, perforation, gastric outlet syndrome, NOT cacner **this will be chronic and recurring. its slow to heal if you dont treat with PPI, AB, and H2 blockers |
|
your pt has had these sx on and off for the past 7 years. whats the disease, whats the tx and whats the complications
epigastric burn/aching pain- radiates to back (t5-T9) L side, worse at night and 3 hrs after meals. Better with food or alkinalizer (TUMS). Fe deficit anemia, NV, bloat, belch, weight loss |
1. disease PUD
1. Tx: PPI, AB, H2 inhibitor 3. GI bleed, perforation, gastric outlet obstruction., NOT cancer **associated with fibrosis |

62 y/o with history of peptic ulcer disease for all of his adult life presents with nausea, vomiting and inability to keep food down for 3 days was admitted with a diagnosis of
gastric outlet obstruction. He had episodes of acute abdominal pain at approx. 8 mon. intervals. He had been hospitalized for GI bleeds, 10 and 20 yrs. earlier. Seven years earlier, he suffered a perforation that was repaired by a patch. On EGD, esophagitis, esophageal stricture and marked obstruction of the gastric outlet were noted. He was held NPO with gastric decompression by nasogastric tube and given total parenteral nutrition. 2 days later wire dilation of the gastric outlet was attempted w/o success. He was taken to surgery for distal gastric resection with gastro‐duodenostomy. There was an active penetrating ulcer of the duodenum with hypertrophy of the gastric wall at the pylorus and marked narrowing of the lumen due to outlet obstruction. There were perigastro‐duodenal adhesions with abundant pancreatic tissue in the adhesive mass. Patient developed postoperative pancreatitis and died. What are the complications of peptic ulceration ? |
1. Bleeding: common
2. perfoation: more likely than bleed to be fatal. super high death rate with gastric perforation 3. Gastric Outlet Obstruction: pyloric channel/duodenal ulcer. Crampy pain and vomit- tx with surgery. Cancer is not a common complication |

|
what is Zollinger Ellison syndrom
|
tumor in pancreas or duodenum that secretes gastrin, this leads to TOO MUCH ACID. the stomach looksl ike a brain and you get recurrent ulcers in weird places (jejunum)
can be due to MEN1 (multiple endocrine neoplasia) Menetriers is precacner and associated with parietal cell atrophy and mucous cell hypertrophy |
|
what is the precancer that shows gastric hypertrophy (brain looking!), parietal cell atrophy, mucous cell hypertrophy

A 62 y/o has had persistent nausea for 5 yrs.
with occasional vomiting. On upper gastrointestinal endoscopy, a small area of gastric mucosa is noted in the fundus, which has loss of rugal folds.

linitis plastica
|
ADVANCED intramuscular growth of gastric carcinoma, prodices a rigid "leather bottle"
recall the depth of invasion detemines prognosis, its late when it gets into mucsularis flat or depressed area in advanced gastric cancer |

5‐mon. history of pain in the LUQ of the abdomen, abdominal distention, postprandial emesis, and weight loss of 18 kg. PE revealed a firm, tender, epigastric mass but was otherwise unremarkable. CT showed a large gastric mass extending from the fundus to the antrum (Panel A, arrow), with no indication of obstruction of the gastric outlet. On questioning, the patient stated that she had a habit of eating her hair for many years a condition called trichophagia. Owing to the large size of the trichobezoar (37.5 by 17.5 by 17.5 cm), it was removed surgically. She regained 9 kg and stopped eating hair. |
