Problem 1
A 60-year-old man presented to his family physician complaining of
feeding difficulty since 3 months ago. Everytime he eats,he feels that
his food,especially solids,are not going down easily. Only by repeated
swallowing that he is able to get the food down. More recently,he
noticed the spontaneous regurgitation of clear,foamy liquid and
undigested food into his mounth,especially when bending over after his
dinner. His wife noted that he often coughs at night and has lost 3 to
4kg since the problem started. His past medical history includes a 5-
year history of hypertension. He denies any history of CVD.

Classification
Caries Dentis
Definition A common problem that occurs when acids in your mouth
dissolve the outer layers of your teeth
Risk Factors - Diet (food and drink high in carbohydrats)
- Poor oral hygiene
- Smoking and alcohol
- Dry mouth
Sign and - Toothache
Symptoms - Tooth sensitivity (tenderness or pain)
- Grey, brown or black spots
- Bad breath
- Unpleasant taste in mouth
Physical - Early sign: chalky white appearance of the enamel surface
Examinations - If the caries progresses: enamel surface becomes dark brown or
black
- Late sign: holes or cavites in the affected tooth
Diagnosis X-ray

Pathogenesis of Caries Dentis
Mouth full of
bacteria Bacteria in plaque turn
The plaque soften the
the carbohydrates →
enamel, by removing
energy they need +
Consume minerals from the tooth
producing acid
carbohydrats
Toothache
http://www.nhs.uk/Conditions/Dental-decay/Pages/Causes.aspx
Treatments - Flouride : early stage
- Fillings and crowns : if the decay is more extensive → replaces
your missing enamel
- Root canal treatment : if tooth decay has spread to the pulp →
may have to be removed and replaced with an artificial pulp that
will keep the tooth in place
- Tooth extraction : may be removed to prevent the spread of
infection
Complications - Gum disease (gingivitis)
- Dental abscesses
Prognosis Depends on the health of the patient, oral health practices and
the extent of dental caries
Prevention - Brush twice a day with a fluoride toothpaste
- Clean the teeth daily with floss or interdental cleaner
- Eat nutritious and balanced meals and limit snacking
- Visit your dentist regularly for professional cleanings and oral
examination
- Check with your dentist about use of supplemental fluoride

Congenital malformations of the GI
tract
• The GI tract is a common site of development
abnormalities. In these cases, defects of other organs
that develop in the same embryonic period should be
sought
• Atresia, and fistulae
• Stenosis
• Diaphragmatic hernia
• Ectopia
• The Meckel Diverticulum
• Congenital hypertrophic pyloric stenosis
• Hirshsprung disease

Atresia and fistulae
• Structural developmental anomalies that
disrupt normal gastrointestinal transit and
typically present early in life.
• Imperforate anus is the most common form of
congenital intestinal atresia, while the
esophagus is the most common site of
fistulization.

Pharmacological treatment
• Motilin,
– doses of 2-4 pmol/kg/min
• cisapride,
– dose should remain as low as possible (ideally less
than 40 mg daily).
• Methoclopramide
– less potent prokinetic drug than cisapride, particularly
with prolonged use, but its antiemetic properties can
provide prolonged symptom relief in gastroparesis.
