Some causes for hematemesis:


  • Peptic ulcer disease is the most common etiology of upper GI bleeding
    –Increased risk with NSAID, steroid, or alcohol use; smoking, stress (e.g., ICU and trauma patients), or infections (Helicobacter pylori, CMV, herpes simplex virus)
  • Nasopharyngeal or oropharyngeal sources of bleeding
  • Esophageal etiologies
    –Esophageal varices (common in alcoholics and cirrhotic patients)
    –Erosive esophagitis: Infectious (e.g., Candida, HSV, CMV), corrosive ingestion, or pill-induced
    –Esophageal or gastric carcinoma
    –Esophageal or gastric polyps
  • Gastric etiologies
    –Gastric ulcer
    –Gastritis

    –Mallory-Weiss tear secondary to repetitive vomiting
    –Dieulafoy's lesion: Erosion of the mucosa overlying an artery in the stomach causes necrosis of the arterial wall and resultant hemorrhage
    –Gastric varices: Secondary to splenic vein thrombosis
    –Benign or malignant tumors
  • Duodenal etiologies
    –Duodenal ulcer
    –Erosion of a pancreatic tumor into the duodenum

    Subject: I see two possibilities.

    One possibility is that he is saying extended length of flight


    Another possibility is that he is saying extended legs of flight.  That is a word that is used to describe a portion of a journey, like the last leg of the trip, etc.  So he could mean an extended portion of a journey during which she will be flying.

    Hi all! I am doing an OP for a lumbar spine surgeon, but this is just for an I&D. He says the area was probed with "sucker tips" and was found to be subfascial. I am not too comfortable with what I am finding online for this. Has anyone heard this before? Thanks!

    It is so frustrating to be given only a tidbit of a report instead of being able to puzzle it out from what is going on with the patient.

    sounds like this is some weird wording for microscopic blood.

    I've done thousands of endoscopy reports and GI consults, but I can't think why he'd say "affobiddy positive stool" instead of something about occult blood or microscopic blood.

    MRI of the brain shows what looks to be an acute infarct on DWI on the right brainstem area, which were also changes seen on the T2 weighted - s/l anuses - suggesting that this is probably an infarct, which occurred 7-10 days ago.


    any ideas cuz I'm pretty sure there are no weighted "anuses" in the brain, at least not identifiable by MRI.
