Pathogenesis of gastroenteritis (specifically E. coli)
fecal-oral transmission -> adhesions (CF) to attach to intestinal epithelium -> disrupts absorptive and secretory properties of mucosal epithelium -> diarrhea
GUESS WHO - ______ called their teacher "mom" in middle school in front of the class
Alyssa
Prevention of gastroenteritis
Proper HYGIENE! Fully-cooked foods; water purification
Use of PCR analysis in Dx/treatment
More accurate pathogen identification for targeted treatment

Mild - diarrhea is tolerable; Moderate - distressing, interferes with plans; severe - incapacitating, completely prevents plans

What is occurring at the crypt cells
Contain channels for Cl- secretion (responds to increases in cAMP)
MOA of ondansetron
*
Enterotoxicogenic E. coli virulence factors
Adhesions (colonizing factor) and Exotoxins (heat-labile toxin -> increase Cl- secretion & heat-stable toxin - decrease reabsorption NaCl and H20)
GUESS WHO - _____ pointed confidently to the vertebrae on the cadaver when Dr. B asked where the trachea was
Sandhya
MOA of oral rehydration therapy
Intestinal glucose absorption via sodium-glucose cotransport remains intact. Intestine can absorb water if glucose and salt are also present to transport water

Astrid
Differentiate secretory and osmotic diarrhea

Antiemetic; selective 5-HT3 receptor antagonist
Enterotoxigenic E. coli causes inflammation T or F
FALSE
Significance of stool sample
