Acute Gastritis

- is usually self-limiting
- may result from infection by microorganisms, allergies to foods, spicy or
irritating foods, excessive alcohol intake, ingestion of aspirin or other

• epigastric pain, cramps or general discomfort
• with infection, diarrhea may develop
Peptic Ulcer (Gastric)
Give this one a try later!
- occult blood in stool
- coffee-ground vomitus (coffee grains in the vomit)
Stroke Volume
Give this one a try later!
- varies with sympathetic stimulation and venous return
- when an increased amount of blood returns to the heart, as during
exercise, the heart is stretched more and the force of the contraction
normally increases proportionately
- during exercise, stress, or infection, cardiac output increases considerably
, - is the volume of blood pumped from the left ventricle per beat
Diabetes Insipidus
Give this one a try later!
- low ADH
First Sign/Symptom of Increased Pressure
Give this one a try later!
- decrease level of consciousness
- confusion
Meningitis/Meningeal Irritation (Signs/Symptoms)
Give this one a try later!
- nuchal rigidity (impaired neck flexion resulting from muscle spasm)
- Brudzinski's sign (neck flexion causes flexion of hip and knee)
- Kernig's sign (resistance to leg extension when lying with the hip flexed)
- photophobia
Encephalitis
