A 68-year-old man presents with progressive hearing loss and bone pain in his legs. Examination reveals an enlarged skull and bowing of the tibia. X-ray of the pelvis shows a mixed pattern of osteolytic and osteosclerotic lesions. Serum alkaline phosphatase is markedly elevated, but calcium and phosphate levels are normal.

Anemia is a problem of not having enough healthy red blood cells or hemoglobin to carry oxygen to the body's tissues. Hemoglobin is a protein found in red cells that carries oxygen from the lungs to all other organs in the body. Having anemia can cause tiredness, weakness and shortness of breath.

The mechanisms of biliary obstruction

🔹 Types of Obstruction

1. Complete Obstruction
• Extrinsic cancer fixing and compressing duct: Tumor outside the bile duct presses and blocks it.
• Intrinsic cancer: Tumor grows within the duct, narrowing the lumen.
• Impacted stone with edema: Gallstone lodges in the duct, with surrounding inflammation and swelling causing total blockage.

2. Incomplete Obstruction
• Ball-valve stone: Stone intermittently blocks bile flow (can move).
• Stricture: Narrowing of the duct due to scarring or chronic inflammation, allowing only partial bile flow.

🔹 Consequences
• Common duct obstruction → Jaundice: Bile cannot drain into the intestine, bilirubin backs up, leading to yellowing of skin and eyes.
• Terminal cystic duct obstruction → Hydrops & jaundice: The gallbladder enlarges (hydrops) due to trapped secretions, and jaundice may develop.
• Key point: Obstructive jaundice develops only if the blockage occurs in the dark-marked area near the distal common bile duct (before it joins the duodenum).

Some breast disorders

A number of conditions affect the breasts, including disorders of breast development (e.g., congenital anomalies, breast hypertrophy), fibrocystic breast changes, inflammatory conditions (e.g., mastitis, mammary ductal ectasia), benign neoplasms (e.g., fibroadenoma, phyllodes tumor), breast cancer, and breast cysts. Mastalgia is a common symptom that is often caused by an underlying benign etiology.

🌟 Gastritis – High-Yield Overview

🧾 Definition

🔹 Gastritis = inflammation of the gastric mucosa (biopsy proven, not just “redness” on endoscopy).

🔬 Types & Pathophysiology

🟥 Acute Gastritis
• 🚨 Neutrophilic infiltration + edema + hyperemia.
• 🧪 Causes: H. pylori, NSAIDs, alcohol, severe stress.
• ⚡ Can cause erosions, bleeding.

🟦 Chronic Gastritis
• 🧩 Lymphocytes + plasma cells → persistent inflammation.
• 🟡 Type A (Autoimmune)
• Targets parietal cells.
• Leads to achlorhydria, ↓ intrinsic factor → pernicious anemia (B12 deficiency).
• 🟢 Type B (H. pylori-related)
• Begins in antrum → spreads to pangastritis.
• Progression 🔄: Inflammation → Atrophy → Intestinal metaplasia → Dysplasia → Carcinoma.

👩‍⚕️ Clinical Features

💤 Often silent or nonspecific.
🤢 Acute: epigastric pain, nausea, vomiting, hematemesis/melena.
🩸 Chronic autoimmune: anemia (fatigue, glossitis, neuropathy).
⚠️ Complications:
• Peptic ulcers
• GI bleeding
• Gastric adenocarcinoma
• Gastric MALT lymphoma

🔍 Investigations

🔬 Biopsy = Gold standard.
📸 Endoscopy: mucosal redness ≠ gastritis.
🧪 H. pylori testing: urea breath, stool antigen, biopsy urease.
🧬 Autoimmune markers: anti-parietal cell, anti–intrinsic factor Abs.
📅 Surveillance: Endoscopy every 3 yrs if atrophic gastritis + intestinal metaplasia.

💊 Management

🟥 Acute Gastritis
• 🚫 Stop NSAIDs/alcohol.
• 💊 PPIs or H2 blockers.
• 🛡️ ICU/stress prophylaxis: PPIs > H2 blockers.

🟦 Chronic Gastritis
• 🦠 H. pylori: Eradication therapy (PPI + antibiotics).
• 🧃 Autoimmune: lifelong parenteral B12.
• 🔎 Surveillance for cancer if atrophy/metaplasia.

🟩 MALT lymphoma
• 🌟 Eradicate H. pylori → often remission.
• 📌 Resistant cases → oncology therapy.

⚠️ Common Pitfalls

❌ Calling endoscopic erythema “gastritis” without biopsy.
❌ Assuming dyspepsia = gastritis.
❌ Forgetting H. pylori eradication.
❌ Missing lifelong B12 therapy in autoimmune gastritis.
❌ Ignoring cancer risk in chronic atrophic gastritis.

An otherwise healthy adult patient presents with intense pruritus and numerous excoriations in the interdigital webs, sides of fingers, volar aspects of the wrists and lateral palms, elbows, axillae, sc***um, and genitalia. The head and neck are spared. Closer inspection of the fingers reveals areas with thin, thread-like, linear scale that end in a tiny fluid filled vesicle. After rubbing a black felt-tip marker across an affected area and wiping away the ink with an alcohol pad, the structures appear darker than the surrounding skin. A biopsy is performed and the findings are illustrated below. The dermis contains scattered lymphocytes and eosinophils. Which of the following is the CORRECT diagnosis?

A 45-year-old man develops fever, malaise, and painful skin lesions 5 days after starting an anticonvulsant. Examination shows diffuse erythema, skin detachment involving >30% body surface area, and mucosal erosions. Nikolsky’s sign is positive.
