    Study Notes

    Gastrointestinal System

    • The antrum of the stomach is located near the pylorus.
    • Bile is released in the duodenum during digestion.
    • The lower esophageal sphincter separates the esophagus from the stomach.
    • The duodenum is the most common site for peptic ulcers.
    • Hemorrhage is the most common complication of peptic ulcer disease (PUD).
    • Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is primarily caused by low pressure in the lower esophageal sphincter.
    • Management for GERD should include eating small, frequent meals and remaining upright after eating.
    • H. pylori is the most common cause of duodenal ulcers.
    • In cholelithiasis, a gallstone in the common bile duct may cause yellow sclerae.
    • Murphy's sign is characterized by pain on deep palpation causing breathing to stop.
    • Mid-epigastric pain that radiates to the back is a common symptom of acute pancreatitis.
    • Serum lipase is the most specific laboratory test for diagnosing acute pancreatitis.
    • Abdominal ultrasound is the preferred initial imaging for suspected acute pancreatitis.

    Hepatic System

    • Albumin is primarily synthesized by the liver.
    • The hepatic portal vein provides most of the liver's blood supply.
    • The liver primarily detoxifies ammonia by converting it to urea.
    • Palmar erythema is a characteristic manifestation of chronic hepatitis.
    • Nucleoside analogs are commonly used in the treatment of chronic hepatitis B.
    • Vaccination is available for Hepatitis A, B, and D in Canada.
    • Alcoholic cirrhosis is associated with hepatic fat accumulation.
    • The most common manifestation of portal hypertension is esophageal bleeding.
    • Managing cirrhosis includes using diuretics and sodium restriction to address ascites.

    Neurological System

    • Cranial nerve III is responsible for pupil constriction.
    • The pia mater is the innermost layer of the meninges, closely adhering to the brain's surface.
    • Increased levels of CO2 result in vasodilation of cerebral blood vessels.
    • A change in level of consciousness is the earliest indicator of increased intracranial pressure (ICP).
    • A fixed, dilated pupil indicates potential brain herniation and is an emergency sign of increased ICP.
    • A patient with a GCS score of 8 requires intubation; this is calculated from responses to eye opening, verbal, and pain stimuli.
    • Common symptoms of post-concussion syndrome include persistent headaches and sensitivity to light and noise.
    • An epidural hematoma is indicated by a period of lucidity followed by rapid decline in consciousness after head injury.
    • Diffuse axonal injury (DAI) is characterized by widespread damage to the brain's white matter, particularly axons.
    • Unilateral weakness is a typical symptom of a transient ischemic attack (TIA).
    • Right-brain damage post-stroke often leads to impulsive behavior and impaired speech.
