What disorder/disease has: Reflux through the gastro-esophageal sphincter allows gastric acid into the lower esophagus= Heartburn
Barrett’s Esophagus
In Barrett's Esphagus the epithelia undergoes _________ w/ time
-->Becomes a ________ mucous secreting form (a more protective epithelium)
In Barrett's Esphagus the epithelia undergoes METAPLASIA w/ time
-->Becomes a COLUMNAR mucous secreting form (a more protective epithelium)
The disease of the metaplastic columnar epithelium of the lower esophagus
Barrett's Esphogus
In Barrett's esphogus the metaplastic columnar epithelium of the lower esophagus....has a high risk of producing???
dysplasia and invasive adenocarcinoma
Caused by an immunologic response to gluten (-gluten is a component of wheat, oats, barley, rye…)
Coeliac Disease
Coeliac Disease Symptoms:
Malabsorption
(1.weight loss,
2.Diarrhea,
3.Steatorrhea,
4.Anemia,
5.Vitamin deficiencies)
Coeliac Disease
-Blood Tests Show:
Anti-endomysial antibodies
Coeliac Disease
-Biopsies Show:
1.Loss of normal intestinal villi
2.Increase in lymphocytes/ plasma cells in the lamina propia
2 (b).Also increase in intraepithelial lymphocytes the condition is partly due to cell mediate immune
response
Coeliac Disease Diagnosis must be confirmed by:
Resolution of symptoms/ histological changes after a gluten-free diet
In Coeliac Disease an increase in intraepithelial lymphocytes shows that the condition is partly due to:
^Intraepithelia lymp the condition is partly due to cell mediate immune
response
Carcinoma of the Colon and Rectum:
-Adenocarcinoma
Carcinoma of the Colon and Rectum:
-Adenocarcinoma- Are
Malignant tumors from the glandular epithelium
Adenocarcinomas of the colon/rectum are common in: _________, But rare in the ______
Adenocarcinomas of the colon/rectum are common in: OLDER PPL IN DEVELOPED COUNTRIES
Rare in: SMALL INTESTINE
Carcinoma- Colon & Rectum: Adenocarcinoma
-->Predisposing factors:
1.Prior existence of benign tumors (adenomas) in the bowel
2.Prior existence of ulcerative colitis
3.Inherited syndromes: familial adenomatous polyposis/ Gardner’s syndrome
4.Dietary factors (low fiber diet)
Developing adenocarcinomas involves a # of genetic abnormalities:
-Adenoma-carcinoma: epithelial chances from normal to adenoma w/ increasing degrees of _________ to ______ ________.
-Adenoma-carcinoma: epithelial chances from normal to adenoma w/ increasing degrees of DYSPLASIA to INVASIVE CARCINOMA.
In Adenocarcinoma malignant cells form:
disorganized abnormal glands that invade adjacent tissues
In Adenocarcinoma malignant cells form disorganized abnormal glands that invade adjacent tissues
-->Staging the tumor (i.e. predicting the behavior) is due to?
Due To: DEPTH of INVASION & SPREAD to MESENTERIC LYMPH NODE
In Adenocarcinoma the further the tumor spreads=
-Further the tumor spreads= worse the outcome
In the adenocarcinoma figure, malignant glands invaded the muscularispropia- What is seen?
-small bundles of smooth muscle and necrosis
Repeated liver cell destruction causes liver to replace dead liver cells by cell division= regeneration and depositing collagen tissue= scarring... This is known as?
Hepatic Cirrhosis:
In Hepatic Cirrhosis -Repeated liver cell destruction causes liver to replace dead liver cells by:
Cell division= regeneration and depositing collagen tissue= scarring
What is the combination of nodules of regenerated liver cells separated by bands of scar tissue
Cirrhosis-
-In Hepatic Cirrhosis regenerated liver cells have: ______ function ( )
REDUCED Function (i.e. lower synthesis of albumin/secretion of bile…)
-In Hepatic Cirrhosis scarring/ interruption of sinusoidal system causes: ______ ______ which means what?
Portal Hypertension= blood can’t drain from liver via portal vein
Hepatic Cirrhosis Causes:
Which one is very rare?
1.Chronic Ethanol Abuse
2.Chronic Hepatitis- from hepatitis virus B and C
3.Autoimmune Diseases
4.Excessive Storage of Iron & Copper due to Genetic Metabolic Diseases= Rare
Extramedullary Hematopoiesis can be re-established if:
Normal Marrow is inadequate demand for fetal function
Hematopoiesis can be re-established in adults if:
iLver doesn’t normally have hemopoietic tissue
Extramedullary Hematopoiesis Causes:
1.Fibrosis of the Bone Marrow
2.Replacement of Bone Marrow by Malignancy
3.Genetic Disorders of Hemoglobin Formation= Hemoglobinopathy
Extramedullary Hemopoiesis can occur in:_____ & _____ both can become ________ _______
Extramedullary Hemopoiesis can occur in: LIVER & SPLEEN BOTH can become ABNORMALLY ENLARGED

In Cholelithiasis abnormal concentration/precipitation of bile can form STONES= Calculi w/in GALL BLADDER or EXTTRAHEPATIC BILARY SYSTEM
In Cholelithiasis stones can become _____ in ____ & lead to blockage
-Complete Blockage of the common bile duct= _________
