-limited to the colon w/ rectum always involved *VS* mouth to anus
-transmural *VS* mucosa/submucosa involved
-LLQ *VS* RLQ pain
-bloody diarrhea *VS* non
-complications of perianal dz, strictures, fistulas & granulomas *VS* colon cancer &
toxic megacolon
-colonoscopy showing "skip lesions" & cobblestoning *VS* ulceration &
pseudopolyps
-barium studies showing "stovepipe sign" (loss of haustral markings) *VS* "string
sign" narrowing through scarred areas
-(+)P-ANCA *VS* (+)ASCA (anti saccharomyces cerevisiae Ab)
-curative *VS* noncurative - Answer-1. *ulcerative colitis*- colon/rectum,
mucosa/submucosa, LLQ pain, bloody diarrhea, comps of colon cancer & toxic
megacolon, colonoscopy w/ ulcerations & pseudopolyps, "stovepipe sign" (loss of
haustral markings), (+)P-ANCA, curative
2. *crohn's dz*- mouth to anus, transmural, RLQ pain, nonbloody diarrhea, comps of
perianal dz, strictures, fistulas, granulomas, "skip lesions" & "cobblestoning", "string
sign", (+)ASCA, noncurative
what are the best studies of choice for ulcerative colitis vs crohn's dz in acute dz? -
Answer--UC: *flex sigmoidoscopy* in acute dz (colonoscopy and barium enema
CONTRAINDICATED in acute dz bc can cause perf or toxic megacolon)
-crohn's dz: *upper GI series* (barium swallow) in acute dz
what medications are used to treat ulcerative colitis and crohn's dz? - Answer-1. 5-
aminosalicylic acids (anti-inflammatory) *oral mesalamine* best for maintenance,
topical mesalamine (rectal suppositories & enemas), *sulfasalzine* (give w/ folic
acid); *all of these work best in the colon- so are better for tx'ing UC*

tx for intermittent/mild vs mod/severe GERD - Answer-besides lifestyle changes
(food/drink avoidance, avoiding recumbency, wt loss, smoking cessation
DDx for hematemesis - Answer-MC is *PUD* (gastric > duodenal), varices,
angiodysplasia, masses (adenocarcinoma, polyps), & mallory-weiss tears
dx/tx? vomiting blood after a night of heavy drinking or in a bulimic pt; what is seen
on EGD? - Answer--dx: mallory-weiss syndrome/tears (d/t sudden rise in intragastric
pressure)
-tx: supportive unless severe bleeding may need epi inj, band ligation or balloon
tamponade
-EGD: superficial longitudinal mucosal erosions/lacerations
dx? lower esophageal webs/constrictions at squamocolumnar junctions MC
associated w/ sliding hiatal hernias but also can be s/p corrosive injury - Answer-
schatzki ring
test of choice is barium sallow
tx: dilation
esophageal varices are MC d/t? tx to prevent rebleeds? - Answer--cirrhosis as a
complication of portal venous HTN
-long term tx:
1. nonselective BB: *propranolol, nadolol* 1st line (reduces portal pressure) but not
used in acute bleeds bc pt may already be hypovolemic
2. *isosorbide*: long acting nitrate (vasodilator)
tx of an acute esophageal varices bleed? these have a 30-50% mortality rate w/ 1st
bleed and 70% recurrence rate w/i 1st yr! - Answer-1. 2 large bore IV lines, IVF, +/-
blood transfusion
2. *endoscopic ligation* is tx of choice
3. pharmacologic vasoconstrictors- *octreotide* 1st line (somatostatin analog),
vasopressin
4. balloon tamponade
5. surgical decompression *TIPS* (transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt)
connects portal vein to hepatic vein to drain to IVC
what is the tx for type I/sliding hiatal hernia vs type II/rolling hiatal hernias? -
Answer--type I/sliding: (MC type 95%) tx: none except manage GERD it causes
-type II/rolling: (paraesophageal) tx: surgical repair to avoid complications
(strangulation)
,in comparing squamous cell vs adenocarcinoma of the esophagus, which is:
-MC worldwide (90%) *VS* MC in the US
-MC in upper 1/3 of esophagus *VS* lower 1/3
-RF of untreated GERD/barrett's *VS* tobacco/EtOH use, exposure to noxious
stimuli, AA - Answer--squamous cell: MC worldwide (90%), upper 1/3, RF:
tobacco/EtOH use, exposure to noxious stimuli, AA
-adenocarcinoma: MC in US, lower 1/3, RF: untx'd GERD/barrett's
what are the 2 most common causes of gastritis? how are they diagnosed and
treated? - Answer-1. H. pylori MC- stool antigen or urea breath test; tx: triple therapy:

cholecystitis after 72h afebrile on IV abx
what is the difference between acute cholangitis vs acute cholecystitis? gold std
diagnostic studies for each? tx for cholecystitis? - Answer-although cholecystitis can
be just inflammation both can be d/t infxns ascending from same bacteria in GI tract
