Study Notes
Acute Pancreatitis
- Manifests with epigastric pain due to inflammation of the pancreas.
Duodenal Ulcer
- Regular NSAID use contributes to the development of duodenal ulcers.
Appendicitis
- Characterized by abdominal pain in the right lower quadrant, rebound tenderness, and low-grade fever.
Alcoholic Cirrhosis
- Hepatocellular damage is primarily caused by acetaldehyde accumulation.
Obesity Risk Factors
- Leptin resistance is a contributing factor to obesity development.
Lactose Intolerance
- Ice cream consumption leads to osmotic diarrhea due to malabsorption of lactose.
Diarrhea Types
- Bacterial infections commonly cause secretory diarrhea.
Chronic Gastritis
- Classified based on the location of gastric lesions.
Hepatitis
- The icteric phase is marked by jaundice, dark urine, and an enlarged liver.
Portal Hypertension
- Most commonly caused by cirrhosis of the liver, leading to complications like vomiting blood.
Pancreatitis Mechanism
- Tissue damage is initially triggered by a backup of pancreatic enzymes.
Mesenteric Ischemia
- Atherosclerosis is a prevalent cause of chronic mesenteric ischemia in the elderly.
Cushing Ulcer
- Peptic ulcers that develop following brain surgery due to increased intracranial pressure.
Large Bowel Obstruction Symptoms
- Present with abdominal distention and hypogastric pain.
Hypovolemic Shock in Mesenteric Insufficiency
- High risk due to ischemia altering mucosal membrane permeability and fluid loss.
Pyloric Obstruction
- Results from narrowing of the opening between the stomach and duodenum.
Gallstones Composition
- Most gallstones typically contain a high concentration of cholesterol.
Types of Jaundice
- Hemolytic jaundice occurs with an increase in red blood cell breakdown.
Obstructive Jaundice Causes
- Extrahepatic obstructive jaundice is mainly caused by obstruction of the common bile duct.
Hepatic Encephalopathy
- Result of impaired ammonia metabolism due to chronic liver disease.
Cholecystitis
- Inflammation of the gallbladder wall is often caused by obstruction of the cystic duct by a gallstone.
Alcoholic Steatohepatitis
- Condition resulting in an enlarged liver, testicular atrophy, and mild jaundice due to chronic alcohol consumption and cirrhosis.
