#GI #GIbleed #urea

Elevated BUN: creatinine ratio favors UPPER over lower GI bleed.

Why?

1) Hb in stomach --> amino acids (aa).
2) aa absorbed by small intestine.
3) aa transported and taken up by liver.
4) In the liver, aa undergo deamination, leading to release of NH3. Image
2/4

5) NH3 (aka ammonia) is converted to urea by the urea cycle, leading to elevated blood urea levels.
6) Meantime, creatinine is not influenced by the protein/aa bolus.
7) Thus, BUN/creatinine ratio is increased.
3/4

So why does blood cause this bump in urea and increase in BUN/creatinine ratio, whereas a steak dinner does not?

Because blood has poor BIOLOGICAL VALIUE (the protein is poorly utilized by the body).

The LOWER the biological value of a protein, the HIGHER the urea.

🧵 Thread zum Thema #GI #gastrointestinale Probleme im Zuge von #LongCovid

Viele #longcovid (und auch #mecfs) Betroffene berichten von anhaltenden Verdauungsproblemen wie Durchfall - #Diarrhoea nach der Infektion.

Auch ich habe seit 11 Monaten eine gestörte Verdauung …

1/17
6 Monate nach der Infektion wurde es immer schlimmer, unverdaute Substanzen im Stuhl, anhaltender Wasser- und Kräfteentziehender Durchfall.

Ich lies eine #Mikrobiomanalyse einer Stuhlprobe durchführen. (Kosten: 130€)

Mit folgenden auffälligen Ergebnissen:

1. #leakygut, … heißt mein Darm ist löchrig und Stoffe die eigentlich ausgeschieden in die Toilette gehören, landen leider auch im Blut, woraufhin leider auch das Immunsystem wie zb #Mastzellen reagieren können.

I'll be adding short important points which would hopefully help in remembering certain concepts during #PLAB preparation, to this thread🧵every now and then as I take them out from my scattered notes. Feel free to comment your tips and tricks which would help others, as well 👇
Please don't take any of these as medical advice 😂🙏. Real life stuff is much more nuanced. These are just clinchers for the sake of the exam.

1. Drug contraindications...
-Avoid BAN drugs in Asthma (Beta blockers, aspirin, NSAIDS) &

To kick things off: how do you diagnose #SIBO?
#SIBO is a disorder characterized by excessive colonization of the small intestine by organisms usually found in the colon, especially Gram-negative bacteria.

(NB: the more we learn, it seems the *type* of bacteria is more important than the *number!*)

Kindly note that out of the given names in the tweet, only “Bardhaman Sitabhog” has got Geographical Indication #GITag.
Langcha, Chandrapuli & Narkel Naru are yet to get GI.

Wrongly mentioned that Bengal has got GI for Sitabhog.
Actually, GI product name is- Bardhaman Sitabhog
#Sitabhog is a part of Mahaprasad of Shree Jagannatha Temple Puri Odisha @JagannathaDhaam @SJTA_Puri

Similarly, Rasagola is offered as bhog on #NiladriBije #RathYatra

Still, reports wrongly mention that Bengal has GI tag for Sitabhog & Rosogolla.

#GiTag
Actually, Bengal has #GITag for-
“Bardhaman Sitabhog”
&
“Banglar Rasogolla” among others.

Using Sitabhog & Rosogolla etc is wrong.

The correct names & spellings must be used while sharing information.

While we're beginning to understand more and more about the #microbiome, research on the #mycobiome (fungi 🍄) is in its infancy. Here is my summary of 🔑 points from @aeprobio's seminar on the latest research on fungi and the gut!

#GITwitter

Bacteria in the #gut outnumber fungi as a class, but at the individual species level can occur in the same numbers.
Most #gut fungi belong to Ascomycota or Basidiomycota

Defecation requires

2. coordination of many systems: neural (enteric nervous system, modulated by the peripheral somatic, autonomic and the CNS); muscular (smooth and striated); hormonal (endocrine and paracrine); and cognitive (behavioural and psychosocial)
