Q

Which medications should be stopped prior to conception in women with IBD?

A

Mycophenolate mofetil and methotrexate

20
Q

Drugs used for UC that are safe in pregnancy?

A

Sulfasalazine
Metronidazole short courses
Steroids

21
Q

Sulfasalazine MoA?

A

interferes with folate synthesis by inhibiting dihydrofolate reductase
Therefore need to give high dose folic acid

22
Q

Risks to fetus with sulfasalazine use?

A

Bloody diarrhoea in infant, avoid >3g/day due to fetal nephrotoxicity, theoretical risk kernicterus in newborn

23
Q

What are the key challenges with use of biologics in IBD in pregnancy?

A

Minimal data
Infliximab crosses placenta at high rates in 3rd trimester which can cause immunosuppression in newborns for 6 months. Therefore often discontinued at 32w

24
Q

Considerations for labour in IBD?

A

Avoid episiotomy as can trigger perinanal disease

25
Definition of very advance maternal age?
>45 years at time of delivery
26
Main risks of pregnancy in women with very advanced maternal age?
Caesarean section delivery 50% Hypertension/ PET - especially in egg donation conception GDM Fetal growth restriction Pre-term delivery Placenta praevia Higher risk of admission to ICU
27
If Na 125-130 in labour- what should you do?
Fluid restrict to 80ml/h Repeat Na in 4 hours Inform obs team/NNU
28
If Na <125 in labour - what should you do?
Fluid restrict to 30ml/h Stop oxytocin Repeat Na in 2 hours MDT involvement
29
If after initial measures Na <125 and worsening/symptomatic, what should you do?
CCU involvement Consider 2.7% saline 200ml in 30mins Consider furosemide 20mg IV if fluid overload
30
Post-natally, at what Na level should you fluid restrict/stop oxytocin?
<125 Restrict to 30ml/h MDT involvement
31
Signs/symptoms of hyponatraemia
headache, nausea, no appetite, apathy disorientation, agitation, seizures, coma, respiratory arrest, pulmonary oedema
32
Most common vulval malignancy?
vulval squamous cell carcinoma
33
What are the 2 main precursors to vulval squamous cell carcinoma?
HPV dependent - vulval high grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (vHSIL) >10% 10year risk ca HPV independent - differentiated type vulval intraepithelial lesion (dVIN) >50% 10 year risk ca
34
Which HPV types are high risk for vulval ca?
HPV 16 and HPV 33
35
Main risk factors for HPV independent vulval ca?
lichen sclerosus and age
36
How to biopsy suspected VIN
Incisional punch biopsy 4mm width, 5mm depth Ensure biopsy is mapped
37
Management of VIN
Surgical - local excision if small/defined OR vulvectomy if extensive disease Medical management - imiquimod 5% cream
38
MoA imiquimod?
Immunomodulator - agonism of toll-like receptors 7+8
39
Risk of recurrence after treament of VIN?
26%
40
Features of usual type (HPV dependent) VIN?
basaloid, warty, multifocal 35-55 years old RFs: HPV, smoking, immunodeficiency
41
Features of differentiated VIN?
Unifocal Post-menopausal
42
Lichen sclerosis is associated with what other immune conditions?
Thyroid disease T1DM
43
What is extra mammary paget's?
Rare vulval lesion in 60-80yo Associated with adenocarcinoma e.g. breast or GO Strawberries and cream appearance - erythematous and scaly patches Paget cells seen on biopsy High recurrence - excision is treatment
44
Nodes affected in vulval cancer?
Inguino-femoral nodes
45
Incision type to remove vulval cancer?
Triple incision with primary closure
46
Appearance of squamous vulval ca?
Warty, rolled edges
47
Treatment for vulvodynia?
gabapentin amitriptyline
