Study Notes

Gastrointestinal Disorders and Diabetes Mellitus Summary

H. pylori is passed through saliva and is adapted to survive acidic stomach environments, releasing a toxin that destroys gastric and duodenal mucosa, reducing resistance to acid digestion.
Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) inhibit prostaglandin secretion, contributing to peptic ulcer disease (PUD).
Predisposing factors for PUD include blood type, H. pylori exposure, and exposure to irritants like alcohol, coffee, tobacco, and spicy foods.
Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is a chronic functional disorder with symptoms of abdominal pain, fluctuations in stool frequency and consistency, excess flatus, and abdominal distention.
IBS can cause constipation through intestinal contractions and diarrhea through increased intestinal motility triggered by various factors including hormonal changes, ingestion of irritants, and psychological stress.
Treatments for IBS include antidiarrheal agents, antispasmodic medications, and increased fiber in the diet.
Upper gastrointestinal bleeding (GIB) most often results from peptic ulcers, gastritis, esophageal varices, or Mallory-Weiss tears.
Causes of upper GIB include erosions of the digestive tract wall, NSAIDs, alcohol, and H. pylori for peptic ulcers, and inflammation of the stomach wall from NSAIDs, steroids, alcohol, burns, and trauma for gastritis.
Esophageal varices, Mallory-Weiss tears, and lower GIB originating in the lower GI tract from diverticular disease, angiodysplasia, polyps, hemorrhoids, and anal fissures are common causes of GIB.
Diverticulosis, angiodysplasia, polyps, hemorrhoids, and anal fissures are common causes of lower GIB, with diverticulosis being small out-pockets on the large intestine wall and angiodysplasia being malformations in the blood vessels of the GI tract.
Polyps are noncancerous tumors of the GI tract that can transform into cancer, and hemorrhoids and fissures in the anal wall cause bleeding.
Diabetes mellitus involves hormonal hypersecretion and hyposecretion, with type I, type II, and gestational diabetes mellitus, and can be managed with various medications and therapies, with symptoms including diabetic neuropathy and hypoglycemia.
