Q

describe cardiovascular changes in pregnancy

A

bp drops because systemic vascular resistance goes way down.

there is compensatory increased cardiac output because HR goes up a bit and preload goes way up because RBC increase a ton

dont forget that even though there are more RBCs, HgB actually drops because there is also a bigger rise in plasma volume

anemia in preggars is <10

Q

stillbirth

A

>20 wks

Spontaneous labor usually begins within 2 weeks of intrauterine fetal death. However, labor may be induced with oxytocin if maternal disease develops (e.g., coagulation abnormalities) or if the patient prefers induction.

Vaginal delivery is safer than cesarean section

Patients should be offered a fetal autopsy to determine the cause of death.

Q

you have a girl with precocious puberty and her bone scan shows bone age >2 yrs above chronological age. What is your next step?

A

GnRH (leuprolide) stim test.

If LH is stimulated by leuprolide, then you know her hypothal–> pituitary axis is active and it’s a central condition. You need to look at brain with MRI. If tumor–> resect. If no tumor–> it’s constitutional; treat with continuous leuprolide which turns off the axis!

if stim test did not raise LH, it’s a peripheral lesion. Get US of adrenal glands, transvag US for ovaries, test DHEAS, testosterone levels, 17-hydroxyprogesterone in urine if considering congenital adrenal hyperplasia.

if cyst: reassure

Q

congenital adrenal hyperplasia

A

can’t make glucocorticoids and mineralcorticoids, so everything gets shunted to androgens. Percocious puberty. Give exogenous glucocorticoids and mineral corticoids and the body will chill out.

Q

what tests do you do first for delayed puberty?

A

if FSH/LH elevated: hypergonadotropic gonadotropism

if FSH/LH low, axis is still turned off. Look for pregnancy, prolactin, thyroid, CBC, LFT, ESR, MRI of brain

121
Q

what’s difference between tamoxifen and raloxifen?

A

both are estrogen receptor modulators for breast cancer. Tamoxifen works better for breast cancer but risks DVT and endometrial carcinoma. Raloxifen doesnt work as well but also doesnt have these risks.

Tamoxifen causes endometrial cancer because it is a estrogen receptor antagonist in breast and a estrogen receptor agonist in the endometrium. go figure.

122
Q

What are targeted breast cancer therapies?

A

If Her2Neu positive, traztuzumab or bevacizumab. Her2neu has worse prognosis. Know that traztuzumab can cause CHF that is NOT does dependent but is Reversible.

If Her2neu negative, give tamoxifen or raloxifen if PREmenopausal. Give aromatase inhibitor if POST menopausal (anastrozole, letrozole)

Q

risks and benefits of systemic hormone therapy for menopause sx

A

if they have uterus, they must get estrogen AND progesterone bc unoppossed estrogen –> endometrial cancer

taking E&P leads to increased breast cancer, coronary heart disease, stroke, VTE. decreased colon cancer and fractures

for women only taking estrogen, there was increased VTE but not cardiovascular disease

193
Q

contraindications for HRT for menopause

A

cardiovascular disease, stroke, breast cancer, DVT hx, liver disease

combined estorgen-progesterone HRT –> increased coronary heart disease, stroke, VTE. decreased colon cancer and fractures, decreased LDL and increased HDL

estrogen only HRT can only be given to ppl without uterurs. Only increased VTE

A

cephalopelvic disproportion

can be due to baby size, pelvic size/shape, adipose tissue

A

fetus is not vertex

SROM or AROM before head engaged in pelvis

intervention: zavenelli + emergency c section

204
Q

breech delivery

216
Q

menopause –> vaginal atrophy and dryness

–> higher pH and more bacterial vaginosis
