16
Q

best position to lay in while pregnant

A

lateral decubitus, avoids venocaval compression

17
Q

COP during preg

A

progesterone –> dec SVR –> low bp –> inc COP

18
Q

urinary changes during preg

A
  • inc renal BF
  • inc excretion and reduced blood urea, creatinine
  • mild glycosuria (inc GFR)
  • inc water retention –> dec plasma osmolality
  • HYDRONEPHROSIS
19
Q

GI tract changes during preg

A
  • progesterone –> relax LES –> reflux
  • reduced GI motility (inc absorption, inc constipation)
  • delayed emptying
  • gallbladder may dilate
  • CHL gallstomes
  • spongy, friable gums
20
Q

ptyalism

A

xs saliva

acidic saliva contents

21
Q

pseudocyesis

A

-false pregnancy, unknown cause

22
Q

follicle development - 2 phases

A
  1. gonadotropin independent phase

2. gonadotropin dependent phase

23
Q

meiosis of oocytes is arrested at

A

prophase I

24
Q

When is meiotic division of oocytes completed?

A

just prior to ovulation

25
Q

sperm binding protein on oocytes

A

ZP3

26
Q

endometrium stromal cells (fb-like)

A

get transformed by steroid hormones like progesterone into decidua

27
Q

implantation window

A

about 4d, 6-10d after LH peak

28
Q

decidua basalis

A

uterus at site of impact (interacts with trophoblast)

29
Q

immune protection of early implantation

A
  • maternal immune cells removed
  • maternal/decidual/conceptus cells release CRH which blinds to receptors on surface of trophoblast –> expression of Fas –> immune cell death
30
Q

placenta accreta

A

Abnormal adherence of the placenta to the uterine wall (attaches to myometrium)

31
Q

placenta increta

A

Abnormal adherence of the placenta THROUGH the myometrium.

32
Q

placenta percreta

A

Abnormal adherence in which the placenta invades through the myometrium to the uterine serosa and even to adjacent organs (bladder, rectum)

33
Q

low-pregnancy weight consequences

A

gastroschisis

34
Q

type I pregestational diabetes

A
  • AI, destroys beta
  • onset earlier in life
  • need insulin therapy
35
Q

type II pregrestational diabetes

A
  • MORE COMMON
  • onset later
  • peripheral insulin resistance
  • relative insulin deficiency
  • obesity
36
Q

human placental lactogen

A
  • anti-insulin, lipolytic effects
  • peripheral insulin sensitivity during 3rd trimester falls by 50%
  • higher basal hepatic glucose output
37
Q

specific genetic testing

A
  • Canavan (neuro, infancy, white matter, aspartoacylase)
  • Tay-Sachs
  • cystic fibrosis
38
Q

Comm meds to avoid during preg

A
  • acne
  • asthma
  • DM (stop oral, start insulin)
  • HTN ( NO ACEi or ARB)
  • hypERthyroidism (use propylthiouracil dur 1st trimester)
39
Q

Fick equation

A

kA(P2-P1)/D

k=diffusion constant
A=area for gas exchange
P=diff in partial pressure
D=diffusion distance
