Obstetrics and Gynecology Flashcards
Most common agent in acute mastitis and treatment
Staph aureus, dicloxacillin or nafcillin or a cephalosporin or erythromycin if pcn allergic
Initial test of choice for suspected fibrocystic breast changes/fibroadenoma of the breast
Ultrasound
Paget disease of the breast definition
Ductal carcinoma presenting as an eczematous nipple lesion, may have bloody discharge, may present as chronic eczematous itchy scaly rash on the nipples and areola
Inflammatory breast cancer definition
Red swollen warm and itchy breast that presents like peau d’orange due to lymphatic obstruction and rarely has a lump but has a poor prognosis
Initial modality to eavluate breast masses in women <40 years vs >40 years
Ultrasound vs mammography
Hormone breast cancer therapy in premenopausal vs postmonopausal patients
Pre menopausal is tamoxifen, post menopausal is letrozole or anastrozole
Breast cancer screening guidelines
Mammogram every 2 years beginning at age 50-74 in average risk patients, in more moderate risk for those with first degree relative can start 10 years prior to age first degree relative was diagnosed if earlier than 50
2 HPV types responsible for majority of cervical and anal cancers
16 and 18
Gardasil vaccination schedule
Given in women age 11-26, men age 11-21, if <15 years 2 doses of HPV vaccine at least 6 months apart, if 15 years or older or immunocompromised 3 doses over minimum of 6 months at 0, 2, and 6 months with minimum dosing interval between first 2 being 4 weeks and between second and third 12 weeks
Management of cervical insufficiency (2)
- Cerclage (suturing of cervical os) and bed rest
- Weekly injection of 17 alpha hydroxyprogesterone
Clomiphene drug function
Induces ovulation for infertility treatment
Definition of infertility
Failure to conceive after 1 year of regular unprotected sexual intercourse
Cervical cancer screening guidelines (NOTE THESE ARE THE 2020 GUIDELINES)
Testing begins at age 25 (change from 21 years previously) - 65, HPV test every 5 years or HPV/Pap co test every 5 years or Pap smear every 3 years
Most common gynecologic cancer
Endometrial cancer
Most common clinical manifestation of cervical cancer
Post coital bleeding or spotting
Spontaneous abortion diagnosis
Ultrasound or cervical exam, cbc, blood type and Rh screen, serial beta hCG titers (remember should see doubling), progestorone levels
Types of abortion
Threatened - cervical os is closed and potentially viable pregnancy still requiring close follow up and observation at home as well as serial b hCG
Inevitable - cervical os is dilated but products of conception retained, treated with surgical evacuation via dilation and curetage or misoprostal or expectant management
Incomplete - cervical os is dilated, some products of conception expelled, options include expectant management with transvaginal US to determine when complete, or surgical evacuation such as dilation and curettage or misoprostal
Complete - cervical os is closed, all products of conception are expelled, treated with RhoGAM if indicated and follow up beta hCG
Missed - cervical os is closed, products of conception are retained, treated with surgical evacuation such as dilation and curettage or misoprostal
Septic - Cervical os closed, some products of conception retained, cervical motion tenderness and foul brown discharge, fever, chills, treated with dilation and curettage to remove products of conception plus broad spectrum antibiotics
Elective induced abortion medical therapy vs surgical therapy
Mifepristone (dilates and softens cervix and causes placental separation) followed by misoprostal (causes uterine contractions, its also used to prevent stomach ulcers caused by nsaids!)
Dilation and curettage and evacuation
Common etiologies of placental insufficiency
Placenta previa, abruption, post term pregnancy, intrauterine growth restriction
Diagnosis of placental insufficiency
Late decelerations on fetal heart monitoring due to mechanical compression of maternal vessels during uterine contractions
Management of placental insufficiency
Place mother on side, administer oxygen, and correct hypotension
Diagnosis of uncomplicated pregnancy (2)
Serum quantitative B hCG 5 days after conception, urine B hCG 14 days after conception
Goodell’s sign
cervical softening sign of pregnancy
Abortion is the term at < or =___ weeks
20
Fundal height at 12 weeks vs 20 weeks vs 38 weeks
Pubic symphysis, Umbilicus, Below xiphoid process
Neagele’s rule
((LMP+7 days)-3 months) + 1 year
PAPP-A first trimester screening
Low with down syndrome
Nuchal translucency ultrasound first trimester screening
Increased thickness is abnormal and may indicate chromosomal abnormalities such as trisomy 13 or 21, if abnormal chorionic villous sampling or amniocentesis is offered
1st trimester is from week
1-12
alpha feto protein a-FP second trimester screening
Usually part of triple screening including unconjugated estriol and b-hCG, low in down syndrome, high with neural tube defects like spina bifida
2nd trimester is from week
12-27
Gestational diabetes second trimester screening
at weeks 24-28 perform 50 gram 1 hr glucose challenge test, if positive do a 100 gram 3 hour oral glucose tolerance test (diagnostic gold standard)
Most common type of neural tube defect
Spina bifida with myelomeningocele
