    Study Notes

    Oral Inflammations

    • Stomatitis refers to inflammation of the mucous membrane of the mouth, including the inner aspect of the lips, cheeks, gums, tongue, and throat.
    • Cheilitis is the term for inflammation of the vermilion of the lips.
    • Glossitis is the term for inflammation of the tongue.
    • Pharyngitis is the term for inflammation of the back of the mouth.

    Gastrointestinal Conditions

    • Zollinger–Ellison syndrome is characterized by the overproduction of gastric acid due to tumors or hyperplasia of the islet cells in the pancreas.
    • Gastrin is the hormone that, when overproduced, leads to the growth of gastric mucosa and proliferation of parietal and Enterochromaffin-like cells.
    • In Zollinger–Ellison syndrome, the primary tumors are usually located in the pancreas.
    • A common sign and symptom of Zollinger–Ellison syndrome is recurrent peptic ulcers.
    • The main cause of Zollinger–Ellison syndrome is a gastrin-producing tumor.

    Ulcers

    • Helicobacter pylori is the primary causative agent for duodenal ulcers.
    • Stress is not a identified developmental factor for duodenal ulcers.
    • Peptic ulcers that penetrate into the muscle layer are characterized as perforating ulcers.
    • The primary defect in the pathophysiology of Gastric Ulcers is a decrease in mucosal defense.

    Inflammatory Bowel Disease

    • The infectious theory proposes that Inflammatory Bowel Disease may have an infectious origin.
    • In Crohn's disease, the disease primarily affects the digestive tract in the ileum and colon.

    Other Conditions

    • Diverticulosis is defined as the presence of multiple pouches or sacs in the wall of the colon.
    • Gastrin, when overproduced, leads to the growth of gastric mucosa and proliferation of parietal and Enterochromaffin-like cells.
