Part 4 Flashcards
Uveitis associated with Sarcoidosis and HLA B27 and back pain
Ankylosing Spondylitis
Altitudinal defect (i.e. visual field defect in which either the upper or lower half of the visual field is selectively affected)
Ischaemic Optic Neuropathy
Photophobia, tearing, red sclera
scleritis
dizziness post infection
vestibular neuritis
Attacks of dizziness, buzzing, hearing loss, nausea
Menieres
Managament of person with sinusitis exceeding 10 days
Antibiotics
Person with nasal trauma + blocked nose Tx
Septoplasty (correct deviated septum)
A person has a bump to the head and has sudden asystole + collapse
Reflex Anoxic Seizure (Syncope due to excitation of vagus causing temporary stoppage of heart)
Why do lipophilic drugs have a higher volume of distribution in elderly?
Body composition changes - less lean tissue more fat
What Prevents involution of corpus luteum at end of female monthly cycle
HCG
fertilisation occurs where?
Ampulla of fallopian tube
Ureter passes where in relation to uterine artery
Under (water under the bridge)
Irregular periods, excess androgens (hirsutism, oily), polycystic ovaries
PCOS (clomifine)
BMI normal range and equation
18.5 – 24.9
[BMI = Weight (kg) / Height (m)2]
Fixed bulky uterus + pain prior to menstruation
endometriosis
landmark for identifying pudendal nerve
Ischial Spines
There are how many umbilical arteries and veins?
2 arteries and 1 vein
The relation of the longitudinal axis of the fetus to the longitudinal axis of the uterus
The lie
The area on the fetal head delineated by the anterior and posterior fontanelles and the parietal eminences - the highest point of the fetus’s head ( in the occiput)
The vertex
The leading part of the fetus which occupies the lower pole of the uterus - the presenting part to the maternal pelvis ( i.e cephalic/breech/shoulder)
The presentation
The relation of the denominator of the presenting part to the quadrants of the maternal pelvis. For a cephalic presentation this is the occiput, and for a breech the sacrum. An example is right occipito anterior (ROA)
The position
The location of the presenting part of the fetus in the birth canal, designated as −5 to −1 according to the number of centimeters the part is above an imaginary plane passing through the ischial spines, 0 when at the plane, and +1 to +5 according to the number of centimeters the part is below the plane = The Station
If the widest leading part (typically the widest circumference of the head) has passed through the pelvic inlet
The Engagement
Oedema typically formed by the tissue overlying the fetal skull during the vaginal birthing process
Caput
Standard Tx of VTE in pregnancy
LMWH (including 6 weeks postpartum)
