answers
1. failure of formation of some portion of the intestinal wall.
2. herniation of the abdominal viscera which results from failure of formation of a portion of the abdominal musculature.
3. 1-2 cm nodules of gastric or pancreatic mucosa.
4. a solitary diverticulum up to 6cm in diameter near the IC valve that results from failed involution of the vitelline duct.
5. 2% of the population affected
within 2 feet of IC valve
2 inches long
2 times as common in males
symptomatic by age 2
6. bowel obstruction from a congenital lack of enteric innervation of a portion of the distal intestine which can lead to megacolon.

7. more than 250g of stool/day composed of 70-95% water.
8. secretion of isotonic fluid and over 500g stool/day, commonly caused by v. cholera. can also be triggered by castor oil and other substances. persists with fasting.
9. output of fluid in the intestine due to increased osmotic pressure in the lumen. abated by fasting.
10. diarrhea with purulent, bloody stools; persists with fasting. can be caused by IBD, shigella, salmonella, etc.
11. diabetes
thyrotoxicosis
bacterial overgrowth
irritable bowel disease.

12. HLA DQ2 and DQ8.
13. TTG: tissue trans glutaminase.
14. villous atrophy
leukocytic infiltrates
crypt hyperplasia
15. duodenum, proximal jejunum.
16. diarrhea, flatulence, weight loss, fatigue, constipation.
17. ataxia
B12 deficiency
chronic anemia
dermatitis herpetiformis
osteoporosis
18. increased risk for GI cancers, bone fractures.
19. breast and lung cancer.
20. TTG, AGA, EMA.

21. e. coli, hemophilus.
22. a rare condition that involves tropheryma whippelii found in macrophages in the lamina propria of the SI, with no inflammation.
23. LA
hyperpigmentation
malabsorption
polyarthritis
CNS problems
24. osmotic.
25. bile deconjugation, mucosal damage by bacteria, and increased competition for nutrients.
26. by testing H2 and methane levels in breath.
27. diarrhea, abdominal pain, malabsorption, weight loss
28. cystic fibrosis
chronic pancreatitis
pancreatic adenocarcinoma
29. steatorrhea, gas, bloating, nutrient deficiency.

30. rotavirus.
31. increased mitosis, neutrophilic infiltrate, villi blunting, loss of microvilli.
32. preformed toxin, toxigenic (toxin formed in gut), enteroinvasive.
33. giardia.
34. c. difficile.
35. yellow, plaque like adhesions, looks like bad acne.
36. damaged crypts that have been filled with mucopurulent exudate. 37.
