89
Q

You have a pt who’s newly became pregnant

What are the initial studies to be ordered? - 9

  1. Blood Type/Rh status
  2. Hgb/Hct (detects anemia)
  3. GC Chlamydia
  4. HIV
  5. Hep B and C

90
Q

What is Prenatal Maternal Quad Serum screening? When is this performed?

A

Measures 4 chemical markers for fetal anomalies and down syndrome- 81% accuracy (QUAD = BUAD):

  1. βHCG
  2. Unconjugated EsTriol
  3. AFP
  4. Dimeric inhibin A - only in QUAD screen

Performed [15-21 WG: 2nd Trimester]

91
Q

When is routine ultrasound for fetal anomalies performed?

A

[18-21 WG: 2nd trimester]

92
Q

Desribe the 3 components of a physical exam for abnormal uterine bleeding

A
  1. Pelvic: Look for vulvar/vaginal lesions, assess size & mobility of uterus since fixed uterus=uterine CA
  2. Neck: Assess Thyroid since thyroid dz–>uterine bleeding
  3. Skin: Look for abnormal bruises (bleeding DO) and jaundice (liver dz–>bleeding DO)
93
Q

Risk factors for Endometrial CA -7

A
  1. Excess Estrogen (HRT, neoplasm, [menstruation outside of 12-52])
  2. Tamoxifen
  3. Obesity
  4. Anovulation/abnormal menstruation
  5. Nulliparity
  6. Other Disease (HTN, DM, Breast CA)
  7. Age > 35 yo

Smoking and Progestin OCP ⬇︎Endometrial CA Risk

94
Q

Osteoporosis etx

A

⬇︎ Trabeculae bone density despite NORMAL mineralization

95
Q

Name the most common locations for osteoporotic fractures? - 4

A
  1. Hip
  2. Vertebrae
  3. Distal Radius
  4. Proximal Humerus
96
Q

Based on DEXA, when is a pt classified as having Osteoporosis? What about Osteopenia?

A

OSTEOPOROSIS = Bone Mineral Density (T-score) ≥ 2.5 SD BELOW mean of Bone Mineral Density in Young health person

osteopenia = BMD Tscore between 1 - 2.5 BELOW mean

Normal = 0-1 below mean

97
Q

DDx for Abnormal uterine bleeding - 8

A
  1. CERVICAL POLYPS = MOST COMMON IN postpartum/PERImenopausal
  2. Endometrial Hyperplasia
  3. Hormone-producing Ovarian tumors
  4. Endometrial CA
  5. Endometrial Proliferation 2/2 estrogen stimulation (Premenopausal)
  6. Thyroid disease
  7. Steroids
  8. SSRIs
98
Q

What tools are used for diagnosing AUB (Abnormal Uterine bleeding) in women, and why?

A
  1. Transvaginal US = evaluates endometrial thickness (<5mm = ok), leiomyoma fibroids, ovaries
  2. Endometrial biopsy = gold standard for AUB in women w/high risk for endometrial CA
  3. CBC = looks for anemia/thrombocytopenia
  4. TSH = Thyroid dz –> AUB
  5. FSH & LH = In menopause, FSH/LH⬆︎ due to lack of inhibin
99
Q

What are the Benefits-3 and Risk-4 of Estrogen Hormone Replacement Therapy?

There is no right answer for whether women should use HRT

A

Pros

  1. Prevents Osteoporosis
  2. ⬇︎Menopausal sx (Atrophic vaginitis, Hot flashes)
  3. ⬆︎Cognitive/mental status

Cons:

  1. ⬆︎Breast CA risk if combined Estrogen/Proges is used >3 years
  2. ⬆︎Endometrial CA risk with Excess Estrogen
  3. STARTING HRT > 60 yo–> CAD
  4. HRT ⬆︎Stroke risk within first 2 years of use
100

Osteoporosis tx - 4

A
  1. Bisphosphonates (Bone resorption inhibitors)
  2. Calcitonin
