Questão Responda
Dx test for Achalasia initially barium swallow and most accurate is esophogeal manometer (no need for endoscopy unless to dx cancer)--see decreased peristalsis, and increased esophogeal sphincter tone
Achalasia tx initially pneumatic dilitation or surgery (dilitation usually done when surgery doesnt work); if patient refuses both use BOTOX
Dx test for esophogeal cancer and tx initially endoscopy and for whatever reason if not possible then barium swallow; surgery and 5 FU chemo

what can falsely elevated gastrin levels H2 and PPI
test for ZE Endoscopic US, Nuclear somatostatin scan (Sensitive), Secretin stimulation (most accurate test)

tx of ZE local disease gets surgical resection and mets you are on a PPI for life

celiac disease presentation microcytic anemia, has iron malabs and folate malabs; also assoc with dermatits herpetiformis
dx test for celiacs best initially: antigliadin, antiendomysial, and transglutaminase; most accurate is small bowel biopsy (D-xylose abs decreased in these dz but rarely used test); always need a bx in this dz to r/o bowel wall lymphoma
tropical sprue basics same presentation as celiacs, hx of being in the tropics, serologic testing is negative here for abs; micro organisims are seen on bx tx is tetracyclne or bactrim for 3-6mos
whipple disease presentation arthralgia, neuro abn, ocular findings
whipple disease tx most accurate testing is PAS pos small bowel bx, alternate is PCR of stool for bacteria; tx is tetracycline or bactrim for 12 mos
in fat malabs you lose abs of fat soluble vitamins A, D, K
dx test of chronic pancreatitis best initial test are abd x ray, CT w/o contrast; most accurate test secretin stim test (nl person releases large vol of bicarb fluid with secretin); iron, folate, B12 will be normal and D-xylose will be normal; tx enzyme replacement

Vaccination only surface ag Ab is positive. healed hep B core ab and surface ab are positive. Chronic hep has same makers as acute hep B but there is a surface ag positive for more than 6 mos present
