First Aid Flashcards
Mechanism in Fetal alcohol syndrome
Failure of cell migration
Persistent cervical sinus
Branchial cleft cyst
In lateral neck, ant to sternocleidomastoid M.
Immobile during swallowing
2 causes of abnormal male genitalia
No Sertoli cells or No MIF: male+female internal genitalia + male external genitalia
5 alpha-reductase deficiency: male internal G + ambiguous external G until puberty
Anomalies ass w/ hypospadias + epispadias
Hyposp: inguinal hernia + cryptorchidism
Episp: exstrophy of bladder
4 characteristics of Choriocarcinoma
Malignant gestational trophoblastic ds
Anaplastic cytotrophoblasts + syncytiotrophoblasts
No villi
Pulmonary metastasis: dyspnea, hemoptysis
Testicular germ cell tumors
Very high hCG
Stimulate TSH receptors: hyperthyroidism
FSH receptor deficiency
High FSH
Low inhibin
Normal: testo, LH, DHEA, DHEAS, androstenedione
3 sources of estrogen + 4 sources of progesterone
Ovary (estradiol), adipose tissue (estrone), placenta (estriol)
Corpus luteum, placenta, adrenal cortex, testes
4 causes of high hCG + 3 causes of low hCG
Multiple gestations, hydatidiform moles, choriocarcinomas, Down syndrome
Ectopic/failing pregnancy, Edward syndrome, Patau syndrome
Low birth weight: consequences + complications
Impaired thermoregulation, impaired immune fct, hypoglycemia, polycythemia, impaired neurocognitive/emotional dev
Infections, resp distress sd, necrotizing enterocolitis, intraventricular hge, persistent fetal circulation
Double Y males (XYY)
Normal phenotype; very tall
Normal fertility
Ass w/ severe acne, learning disability, autism spectrum disorders
Ovotesticular disorder of sex development
46XX > 46XY
Ovarian+testicular tissues
Ambiguous genitalia
46XX disorders of sex dev
Ovaries
External gen: virilized or ambiguous
Excessive exposure to androgenic sterois during early gestation
Congenital adrenal hyperplasia, exogenous androgens
46XY disorders of sex dev
Testes
External gen: female or ambiguous
Androgen insensitivity sd (testicular feminizatin)
Placental aromatase deficiency
Inability to synthesize estrogens from androgens
Ambiguous gen of 46XX
High testo + androsten
+/- maternal virilization in pregnancy
Androgen insensitivity syndrome (46XY)
Defect in androgen receptor Normal appearing female Rudimentary vagina Absent uterus/fallopian tubes Normal functioning testes (removed)
5 alpha-reductase deficiency
46XY Inability to convert testo to DHT Normal internal gen Ambiguous ext gen until puberty (high testo) w/ masculinization Normal testo/estrogen - Normal LH
Kallmann syndrome
Failure to complete puberty Hypogonadotropic hypogonadism Defective migration of GnRH cells + olfactory bulb Anosmia, infertility Low GnRH+LH+FSH+testo
