Questions And Already Passed Answers.
upper gastrointestinal tract disorders - Answer gastroesophageal reflux disease, gastritis,
peptic ulcer
gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) - Answer periodic reflux of gastric contents into distal
esophagus that causes erosion and inflammation, may be caused by pyloric valve or hernia,
severity depends on competence of the lower esophageal sphincter, hiatal hernia (when
stomach gets stuck above the diaphragm)
acute gastritis - Answer gastric mucosa is inflamed, may lead to ulcerations and bleedings, self
limiting, gastric mucosa regenerates, treatment with prolonged vomiting
may result from: infection (H. pylori), food allergies, spicy or irritating foods, excessive alcohol
intake, ingestion of aspirin or other NSAIDS, radiation of chemotherapy
signs of gastrointestinal irritation: anorexia, nausea, vomiting hematemesis (throwing up blood),
epigastric pain, cramps or general discomfort, diarrhea
chronic gastritis - Answer atrophy of stomach mucosa; loss of secretory glands, epigastric
discomfort, anorexia, intolerance for certain goods, increased risk for peptic ulcers and gastric
carcinoma, H. pylori infection is often present
gastroenteritis - Answer inflammation of stomach and intestine, usually caused by infection
but also allergic reaction to food or drugs, most infections are self-limiting, caused both
vomiting and diarrhea, may cause epidemic outbreaks; safe sanitation for prevention
peptic ulcer - Answer gastric and duodenal ulcers, mostly caused by H. pylori, begins with
breakdown and mucosal barrier, duodenal ulcers occur in proximal duodenum, gastric ulcers
found in antrum
complications of peptic ulcer - Answer hemorrhage, obstruction, perforation
lower gastrointestinal tract disorders (small intestine and large intestine) - Answer celiac
