Gyne Flashcards
The effective urethral closure is influenced by several factors which include:
a. Sympathetic nervous system mediation
b. Muscle tone and strength
c. Intraabdominal pressure
d. Muscle attachment to the pelvic walls
b. Muscle tone and strength
This occurs with increase in abdominal pressure and can be treated with pelvic muscle exercise, vaginal devices, lifestyle changes, and surgery.
a. Urinary incontinence
b. Stress urinary incontinence
c. Urgency urinary incontinence
d. Mixed urinary incontinence
b. Stress urinary incontinence
The urinary bladder function is mediated primarily by:
a. Parasympathetic nervous system
b. Involuntary muscle contractions
c. Sympathetic nervous system
d. Micturition reflex
c. Sympathetic nervous system
This is accomplished by voluntary relaxation of the pelvic floor and urethra, accompanied by sustained contraction of the detrusor muscle, leading to complete bladder emptying:
a. Normal voiding
b. Micturition reflex
c. Bladder filling and emptying
d. Urinary incontinence
a. Normal voiding
The alpha receptors of the sympathetic nervous system are primarily located at which part?
a. Bladder body
b. Bladder neck
c. Detrusor muscle
d. Brainstem
b. Bladder neck
The pontine micturition center serves as the final common pathway for all bladder motor neurons and transection below this area would lead to this condition:
a. Urinary frequency
b. Incontinence
c. Urinary retention
d. Detrusor overactivity
c. Urinary retention
This is the involuntary loss of urine associated with urgency and with effort or physical exertion or on sneezing or coughing:
a. Urgency urinary incontinence
b. Mixed urinary incontinence
c. Stress urinary incontinence
d. Insensible urinary incontinence
b. Mixed urinary incontinence
What is the current most accepted theory of stress urinary incontinence pathogenesis?
a. Loss of integrity of structures intrinsic to the
urethra
b. Hammock theory
c. Connective tissue laxity in the vagina and its
supporting ligaments
d. Integral theory
a. Loss of integrity of structures intrinsic to the
urethra
What is the pathophysiology of overactive bladder?
a. Backward direction of the levator plate
b. Forward direction of the pubococcygeus muscle
c. There is no known cause that is documented
d. Abnormality between the micturition center and
the bladder
c. There is no known cause that is documented
This condition involves a congenital absence of the
anterior vaginal wall and the bladder/urethra:
a. Urethral diverticuli
b. Ectopic urethra
c. Bladder extrophy
d. Vesicovaginal fistula
c. Bladder extrophy
Which one is a risk factor for urgency urinary incontinence?
a. Obesity
b. Advancing age
c. White women - higher risk for stress urinary
d. Parity - no effect
a. Obesity
One of the reversible causes of urinary incontinence is:
a. Depression
b. Psychiatric cause
c. Enuresis
d. Atrophic vaginitis
d. Atrophic vaginitis
This is the amount of urine remaining in the bladder within 10 minutes from voiding and the abnormal threshold level is:
a. <50 mL
b. >100 mL
c. >150 mL
d. <200 mL
c. >150 mL
What is the hallmark of advanced bladder testing?
a. Quality of life measurement
b. Urodynamic tests
c. Uroflowmetry
d. Cystoscopy
b. Urodynamic tests
type of detrusor overactivity that refers to the involuntary detrusor contractions occurring at cystometric capacity which cannot be suppressed resulting in incontinence and bladder emptying
a. Neurogenic type
b. Phasic type
c. Terminal type
d. Idiopathic type
c. Terminal type
The difference between urethral pressure and vesical pressure is called:
a. Urethral closure pressure
b. Pressure profile
c. Total urethral pressure
d. Maximum urethral closure pressure
a. Urethral closure pressure
What is the normal volume when one has a strong desire to void?
a. 150 mL
b. 200 mL
c. 250 mL
d. 400 mL
c. 250 mL
The cut off pressure during a Valsalva leak point pressure measurement is:
a. >60 cm of H2O
b. 200 mmHg
c. 100 mmHg
d. >120 cm of H2O
a. >60 cm of H2O
The flow rate during voiding with detrusor pressure is:
a. <15 mL/sec
b. <40 mL/sec
c. >20 cm H2O
d. <50 cm H2O
a. <15 mL/sec
Bladder training is one of the nonpharmacologic treatments for which lower urinary tract disorder?
a. Idiopathic overactive bladder
b. Stress urinary incontinence
c. Mixed urinary incontinence
d. Primary bladder neck dysfunction
a. Idiopathic overactive bladder
