Obs and Gyne Flashcards
What is the source of phospholipids in breastfed babies?
Membrane fragments
Mention folic acid antagonists and their effects
Trimethoprim and triamterene Neural tube defects Cardiovascular defects Oral clefts Urinary tract defects
Mention complications of oral isoretinoin?
Hydrocephalus + cerebellar abnormalities + cns malformations+neuronal brain migration+severe intellectual disability + seizures+
Microtia with or without atresia of ear canal
Dysmorphic features
Phenytoin causes ??
Dysmorphic features
Nail hypoplasia
Heart defects
Ebstein anomaly caused by?
Lithium
Cmv rubella and toxo all cause?
Microcephaly and Intellectual disability
Misoprostol causes
Fetal death and vascular disruption (terminal transverse limb defects)
How to stage puberty in girls
Breast rather than publc hair
Stage puberty in males ?
Penile length and testicular volume by palpating
McCune Albright syndrome is؟
Polypstoic fibrous dysplasia
Cafe au lait spots
Precocious puberty
Mention inhibitory peptides
Progesterone Relaxin Calcitonin gene related peptide Parathyroid hormone related peptide Nitric oxide Adrenomedullin Vasoactive intestinal peptide Prostacyclin (PGI-2)
Phase one of labour characteristic by?
When term approaches- uterotropins like estrogen activate uterus
Increased of Contraction-associate- protein like
Oxytocin and prostaglandins
Activating ion channels
Increase in connexin 43(gap junction) = electrical synchrony
Stimulatory phase is by
Uterotonic agonists like
Prostaglandins F2 alpha and E2 and oxytocin
Involution of uterus mediated primarily by?
Oxytocin
Why humans for sure differ than sheeps in initiating labour?
Because human placenta lacks glocucorticoid inducible 17 alpha hydroxylase 17, 20 lyase enzyme essential for the process
Why does availability of free intracellular calcium is a key modulator of myometrial contractility?
Because phosphorylation of myosin light chain by kinase depends on calcium/calmodulin enzyme
Activation of beta adrenergic / pgE2 receptors is via
Gas adenyl cyclise/cAMp transduction pathway
Oxytocin receptors couple to?
Gaq/Gai/phospholipase C
Causing increase in inositol- 1,4,5 triphosphate which releases Ca from sarcoplasmic reticulum
And 1,2 diacylglycerol that activates protein kinase
How is it known that labour is caused by downregulation of pathways?
Gas levels gets low before labour
Is myometrial cells contracting neural?
No! Have sparse innervation regulation of contraction is humoral and on intrinsic factor
