Question
Answer
which diease is smoking better for and which is it bad for   smoking is good for ulcerative colitis and bad for crohn's disease  
🗑
Use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs)exacerbates with condition   has been associated with exacerbation of IBD  
🗑
IBD is divided into two major disorders:   ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn's disease (CD).  
🗑
Although both UC and CD are generally considered diseases of the young when do you see peaks   20-40 and 60-80 yo  
🗑
Whatever the mechanism, it is now generally agreed that the symptoms of IBD result   from dysregulation of the mucosal immune system  
🗑
what are the three major theories of the cause IBD   combination of infections, genetic, and immunological causes, psychological factors and environmental factors  
🗑
UC usually presents as shallow, *continuous* inflammation of the colon ranging from   limited forms of proctitis (*rectal* involvement only) to involement of the whole colon  
🗑
what is the pathology typical in UC   *Crypt abscesses* rectal involement* consisting of accumulations of polymorphonuclear neutrophil (PMN) cells, necrosis of the epithelium, edema, hemorrhage, and surrounding accumulations of chronic inflammatory cells.  
🗑
signs not present in UC   Fistulas, fissures, abscesses, and small bowel involvement are not present  
🗑
Most patients with UC experience a chronic, intermittent course of disease. Chronic, loose, bloody stools are the most common symptom of UC   most common symptom of UC  
🗑
The inflammation in UC is limited to the .   mucosa, which presents as friable, granular, and erythematous, with or without ulceration  
🗑
common complaints of ulcerative colitis include   tenesmus (urge to defecate) and abdominal pain.  
🗑
Mild UC is defined as   fewer than four stools a day, no systemic signs of toxicity, and a normal erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR).  
🗑
Moderate disease is characterized by   more than four stools a day but minimal evidence of systemic toxicity.  
🗑
Severe disease is defined as   more than six bloody stools a day, fever, tachycardia, anemia, and/or an ESR >30.  
🗑
CD is a   chronic, transmural, patchy, granulomatous, inflammatory disease that can involve the entire GI tract, from mouth to anus, with discontinuous ulceration (so-called “skip lesions”), fistula formation, and perianal involvement.  
🗑
what is the most commonly affected area in crohn's diease   terminal ileum is most commonly affected  
🗑
the most common pathological features associated with crohn's diease that ulcerative colitis doesn't have are   ileal involvement, strictures, fistulas, transmural involvement, granulomas, linear clefts, cobblestone appearance  
🗑
Unlike UC, the severity of the disease does not correlate directly with   the extent of bowel involvement  
🗑
what the primary determinants of the disease course and the nature of complications   patterns and there are three kinds predominantly inflammatory, stricturing, or fistulizing  
🗑
surgery may be curative in which one as surgery in ___ is usually followed by relapse   UC curativeCD recurrent disease after surgery is high  
🗑
IN UC Patients usually present with   abdominal pain and chronic, often nocturnal, diarrhea.2,4,18 Weight loss, low-grade fever, and fatigue are also common. Features such as abdominal masses or abscesses and fistula (an abnormal communication between two organs)  
🗑
where are fistulas present   Enterocutaneous and enterorectal fistula are common, but other types, such as enterovaginal, can occur. Fistula can be excruciatingly painful, can be a source of infection, and can also exert significant psychosocial distress  
🗑
which usually present with toxic megacolon   Ulcerative colitis  
🗑
mild-to-moderate CD is defined as   ambulatory patients who are able to tolerate oral feeding without signs of systemic toxicity.  
🗑
Moderate-to-severe CD is defined as   patients with symptoms of fever, weight loss, abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting, and/or significant anemia.  
🗑
sulfasalazine adverse effects include   nausea, vomiting, headache, alopecia, and anorexia. A significant number of patients discontinue this medication because of dose-dependent adverse effects. ADR are because the drug is absorbed systemically but plays no role in therapy  
🗑
idiosyncratic adverse effects sulfasalazine include   hypersensitivity rash, hemolytic anemia, hepatitis, agranulocytosis, pancreatitis, and male infertility. This poor adverse effect profile has led to the development of safer sulfa free compounds that contain only 5-ASA. aminosalicylate, mesalamine  
🗑
-mesalamine enema rowasa, pentasa   -distal colitis  
🗑
-canasa suppository   -proctitis  
🗑
-The oral 5-ASA agents are effective in   -inducing remission in mild-to-moderate UC and for maintaining remission in UC and perhaps for mild CD confined to the colon.  
🗑
Adverse effects of the oral 5-ASA compounds include   diarrhea (especially with olsalazine), headache, arthralgias, abdominal pain, and nausea. Interstitial nephritis has rarely been reported with chronic use of mesalamine, but the association remains controversial.  
🗑
Corticosteroids are the most commonly used agents in the treatment of   acute flares in patients with moderate-to-severe IBD  
🗑
First-line treatment for moderate-to-severe active UC includes doses of   corticosteroid equivalent to 40 to 60 mg of prednisone.  
🗑
An important drug interaction is the possibility of increasing 6-mercaptopurine levels in patients receiving   balsalazide  
🗑
Corticosteroids are not effective and should be avoided for maintenance therapy of   CD and UC  
🗑
Topical steroids (enemas, foams, and suppositories) are beneficial for   distal colitis and can serve as an adjunct in patients with rectal disease that also have more proximal disease and have failed topical 5-ASA therapy.  
🗑
Oral enteric-coated budesonide is approved for the treatment of   CD. Budesonide possesses a high degree of topical anti-inflammatory activity with low systemic bioavailability.  
🗑
The Entocort EC formulation of budesonide delivers drug primarily to the   ileum and ascending colon.  
🗑
Immunomodulators commonly used for the management of steroid-dependent and quiescent IBD.   Azathioprine and 6-mercaptopurine (6-MP) are  
🗑
what is the MOA of Azathioprine   is converted to 6-MP, then metabolized to thioinosinic acid, the active agent that inhibits purine ribonucleotide synthesis & cell proliferation, alters the immune response by inhibiting NK cell activity & suppressing cytotoxic T-cell function.  
🗑
are used in the treatment of active UC and CD in patients whose conditions have not responded to systemic steroids.   Azathioprine (2–3 mg/kg/day) and 6-MP (1–1.5 mg/kg/day) upt to 3 to 4 months may be required to obaserve response  
🗑
azathioprine and 6-MP are also used as maintenance therapy for both UC and CD and may be used as   “steroid-sparing” agents in patients unable to be weaned from corticosteroids. B/C of the long onset of action of 6-MP and azathioprine, Doc's induce remission with either corticosteroids or infliximab and use these agents for maintaining remission.  
🗑
Adverse effects of 6-MP/azathioprine   include rash, nausea, pancreatitis, and diarrhea.  
🗑
Myelosuppression, especially neutropenia, may have a delayed onset, and clinicians should monitor   the complete blood count monthly for the first 3 months of treatment, then every 3 months thereafter  
🗑
Methotrexate (MTX), MOA   a folate antagonist, impairs DNA synthesis. It may also reduce interleukin-1 (IL-1) production or induce apoptosis of selected T-cell populations.  
🗑
30 MTX appears to be ineffective for induction or maintenance of UC.38 However, data suggest that MTX (15–25 mg IM weekly) may have a role in   both initial and chronic treatment of CD.  
🗑
The onset of effect often takes weeks to months with MTX. Most experts and recent guidelines suggest reserving MTX use for `   patients with CD intolerant of, or refractory to, 6-MP/azathioprine treatment  
🗑
Adverse effects with MTX include   stomatitis, neutropenia, nausea, hypersensitivity pneumonitis, alopecia, and hepatotoxicity. MTX-induced nausea and stomatitis may be prevented by the addition of folic acid 1 mg PO daily. hepatotoxicity may be ameliorated by folate use.  
🗑
Cyclosporine (CSA), which selectively inhibits T-cell-mediated responses, has advantages over azathioprine, 6-MP, and MTX because of its   more rapid onset of action.  
🗑
Both oral and IV forms have been used to manage severe   UC. Due to serious adverse effects, CSA is usually reserved for patients with severe UC refractory to corticosteroids  
🗑
WHAT has been used in severe steroid-refractory UC   (CSA)cycloporine 4 mg/kg IV daily  
🗑
Tubercular infections, including reactivation of latent disease are a particular concern with ________, and patients should be appropriately screened for latent disease before starting infliximab treatment.   infliximab  
🗑
Infliximab is a recombinant chimeric monoclonal antibody that   binds to human TNF-α and neutralizes its biological activity by binding with high affinity to both soluble cell receptors and free TNF-α in the blood.  
🗑
infliximab is indicated for   inducing and maintaining remission in patients with moderate-to-severe active CD who have had an inadequate response to conventional treatment.  
🗑
infliximab is also effective for   healing CD fistula, with data showing that chronic treatment can maintain fistula closure and decrease the need for surgery.  
🗑
Most recently, infliximab received an indication for   the induction and maintenance of moderate-to-severe UC refractory to other treatment  
🗑
For all indications, infliximab is given as a   5 mg/kg IV infusion over 2 hours.  
🗑
An induction regimen, administered at 0, 2, and 6 weeks   is followed by a maintenance infusion every 8 weeks.  
🗑
The response to infliximab is usually   rapid, often occurring within several days  
🗑
Because infliximab is a monoclonal antibody, ADR associated with therapy include   a number of immunologic-mediated adverse effects  
🗑
Immediate infusion-related reactions such as   fever, chills, pruritus, urticaria, and (rarely) severe cardiopulmonary symptoms can occur  
🗑
Use of infliximab with concomitant immunosuppressives, such as azathioprine,   decreases the development of these antibodies.
