of the esophagus that involves eosinophils

simplex virus(HSV).

Mallory-Weiss syndrome refers to bleeding from a laceration in the mucosa at


junction of the stomach and esophagus.
Zenker's diverticulum is a diverticulum of the mucosa of the esophagus,just
above the cricopharyngeal muscle(i.e. above the upper sphincter of the
esophagus).It was described in 1877 by German pathologist Friedrich Albert

Barrett's esophagus refers to (abnormal) change in the cells of the lower


portion of the esophagus.

Nutcracker esophagus is a disorder of the movement of the esophagus


characterized by contractions in the smooth muscle of the esophagus in a
normal sequence but at an excessive amplitude or duration.

Esophageal achalasia is a failure of smooth muscle fibers to relax, which can


cause the lower esophageal sphincter to remain closed.

Diffusion esophageal spasm is a condition characterized by uncoordinated


contractions of the esophagus, which may cause difficulty
swallowing(dysphagia) or regurgitation.

Esophageal stricture is a narrowing or tightening of the esophagus that


causes swalling difficulties.

Megaesophagus is a disorder of the esophagus in humans and other


mammals, whereby the esophagus becomes abnormally enlarged.

Stomach

1.Gastritis : it is inflammation of the lining of the stomach.

a.Atrophic gastritis is a process of chronic inflammation of the stomach


mucous membrane(mucosa), leading to loss of gastric glandular cells and
their eventual reppalacement by intestinal and fibrous tissue.

b.Menetrier diseases is a rare,acquired, premalignant disease of the


stomach characterized by massive gastric folds, excessive mucous
production with resultant protein loss, and little or no acid production.

c.Gastroenteristis(also known as infectious diarrhea, is inflammation of


gastrointestinal tract -- the stomach and small intestine.

2.Peptic(gastric) ulcer disease is a break in the inner lining of the stomach,


first part of the small intesitne or sometimes the lower esophagus.

a.Cushing ulcer is a gastric ulcer associated with elevated intracranial


pressure.

b.Dieulafoy's lesion is a medical condition characterized by a large


tortuous arteriole most commonly in the stomach wall(submucosal) that
erodes and bleeds.

3.Dyspepsia is a condition of impaired digestion.

4.Pyloric stenosis is a naroowing of the opening from stomach to the first part
of the small intestine(the pylorus).

5.Achlordydria refers to states where the production of hydrochloric acid in


gastric secretions of the stomach and other digestive organs is absent or low,
respectively.

6.Gastroparesis is a medical condtion consisting of a paresis of the stomach,


resulting in foood remaining in the stomach for an abnormally long time.

7.Gastroptosis is the abnormal downward displacement of the stomach,

8.Portal hypertensive gastrpathy refers to changes in the mucosa of the


stomach in patients with portal hypertension.

9.Gastric antral vascular ectasia is a condition associated with dilated small


blood vessels in the antrum, or the last part of the stomach.

10.Dumping syndrome occurs when food moves too fast from the stomach to
the duodenum.

11.Gastric volvulus is a twisting of all or part of the stomach by more than


180 degrees with obstruction of the flow of material through the stomach,
variable loss of blood supply and possible tissue death.

Small intestine

1.Enteritis is inflammation of the small intestine.

a.Duodenitis is inflammation of the duodenum

b.Jejunitis is inflammation of the jejunum

c.Ileitis is an inflammation of the ileum

2.Peptic (duodenal) ulcer is a break in the inner lining of the first part of the
small intestine(duodenal).
a.Curling's ulcer is an acute gastric eroision reulting as a complication
from severe burns when reduced plasma volume leads to ischemia and cell
necrosis of the gastric mucosa.

3.Malabsorption is a state arising from abnormality in absorption of food


nutrients across the gastrointestinal tract.

a.Coeliac disease is a long-term autoimmmune disorder that primarily


affecs the small intestine.

b.Tropical sprue is a malabsorption disease commonly found in tropical


regions, marked with abnormal flattening of the villi and inflammation of the
lining of the lining of the small intestine.

c.Blind loop syndrome

d.Small intestine bacterial overgrowth is a disorder of excessive


bacterial growth in the small intestine

e.Whipple's disease is a rare, systemic infectious disease caused by the


bacterium Tropheryma whipplei.

f.Short bowel syndrome is a malabsorption disorder caused by a lack of


functional small intestine.

g.Steatorrhoea is the presence of the excess fat in feces.

h.Milroy's disease is a familial disease characterized by lymphedema,


commonly in the legs, caused by congential abnormalities in the lymphatic
system.

i.Bile acid malabsorption is a cause of several gut-relatred problems,


the main one being chronic diarrhea.
