Objectives
At the end of this presentation, the student should be able to: Review the anatomy and physiology of the stomach Discuss the pathophysiology, risk factors, signs and symptoms, complications and diagnosis of ulcers Given a drug associated with ulcer formation, discuss the proposed mechanism of ulceration Discuss the pathophysiology, risk factors, signs and symptoms, and complications of gastroesophageal disease (GERD)
Dyspepsia
A constellation of upper abdominal symptoms Accounts for up 40 - 70% of GI complaints Significant societal costs Causes
PUD,
Gastric Antrum
Mucosal Defenses/Protection
barrier to damage
acidic damage and auto digestion blood flow and cell regeneration by tight cell junctions
Mucosal integrity
Maintained
Mucosal Defenses
Bicarbonate Mucus Prostaglandin
Growth factor
Mucosal regeneration

Major Factors
Helicobacter NSAIDs Cigarette
Pylori
Other Factors
Genetics
?Foods ?Stress
Helicobacter Pylori
Bacteria
Gram ve spiral bacterium 40% of patients >60 yrs are +ve for H.pylori Transmitted: possibly person to person Most common cause of antral gastritis
Cytotoxin Breakdown of mucosal defenses Adherence to epithelial cells Increase gastrin releasing peptide (GRP) Decrease bicarbonate secretion
Caffeine
NSAIDS
Inhibits prostaglandin synthesis (COX inhibition) Disrupts functional mucosal integrity mucosal blood flow cell regeneration Direct GI irritation Antiplatelet effect (causing bleeding) Ion trapping acid (basal and maximal stimulation) secretion

Smoking
Impairs ulcer healing Promotes ulcer recurrence Increases the likelihood of ulcer complications Mechanisms
Stimulate gastric acid secretion Stimulate bile salt reflux Causes alteration in mucosal blood flow Decrease mucus secretion Reduces prostaglandin synthesis Decrease pancreatic bicarbonate secretion
gastrin releasing peptide (GRP) defect in inhibition of acid production mucosal bicarbonate secretion
basal acid secretory drive postprandial acid secretory response sensitivity to secretagogues
Diet
Physiologic stress
mucosal blood flow, tissue hypoxia, mucosal lining degradation; e.g. ICU, sepsis, burn, trauma. Associated with multiple erosions & significant bleeding
Similar # stressful events in ulcer vs. non-ulcer patients tolerance to discomfort Recent epidemiological data suggest possible role
Psychological stress
Gastric Ulcer
Sclerosis
Epigastric pain
Not well localized Annoying, burning, gnawing, aching On an empty stomach During the night Between meals Relieved by food and antacids Episodic followed with symptomatic periods then no occurrence
Duodenal ulcers
Complications of PUD
Hematemesis Perforation Diarrhea Obstruction
Nausea Vomiting
Complications: PUD
Stress Ulcer Duodenal Ulcer Gastric Ulcer
Hemorrhage: Frequent, associated mortality Perforation: Common Common in posterior wall of duodenal bulb, associated with melena When in anterior wall of duodenum Less common (associated with hematemesis, coffee grind emesis), melena More common in anterior wall of stomach Rare 7%
Objective Measures
Melena Hct, Hgb
Microcytic,
Diagnosis
H. pylori
Noninvasive:
Urea breath test, serology Invasive: biopsy (histology, culture, rapid urease)
NSAID- induced
History
Still
Weight loss Bleeding Choking Hoarseness, cough, wheeze Dysphagia (difficulty swallowing) Odynophagia (painful swallowing) Atypical chest pain Infants: spitting up, vomiting (uncommon: failure to gain weight, Fe def anemia, recurrent pneumonia, near SIDS)
ENT Pharyngitis Otitis media Sinusitis Vocal cord granulomas Laryngitis Hoarseness Voice changes Chronic cough Dental enamel loss
Pulmonary Chronic cough Asthma Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis Chronic bronchitis Pneumonia Other Chest pain Sleep apnea Dental erosions
GERD Pathophysiology
Aggressive Factors
Loss of LES pressure -Inappropriate relaxation -Increase in intraabdominal pressure
Defects in defense mechanisms -Anatomical -Mucosal resistance -Esophageal clearance -Gastric emptying
LES Closed
LES Open
Risk Factors
Drugs
Pregnancy
Bending

Foods Drugs
Complications of GERD
Infants: Failure to Thrive Esophagitis (histopathological changes)
Gradations
Grade
I- erythema, edema Grade II- isolated erosions Grade III- confluent erosions, superficial ulceration Grade IV- erosions, deep ulcers, stricture
