Gynecoid: Round, good
AnthrOPoid: anterior-posterior egg shape, increased OP delivery (blacks, blunted ischial spines, medium pubic arch)
Android: transverse-limited, BAD delivery shape
Platypelloid: flat oval shape, persistent transverse (Koreans)
When do di-di twins split?
0-3 days
Twin peak/lambda sign (triangle shape btw placentas
When do mono-di twins split?
4-8 days
(T sign on US)
When do mono-mono twins split?
9-12 days
When do conjoined twins split?
13+ days (thoracovagus most common)
Fetal heart completes morphological development at what gestational age?
8 wks
What are cranial neural tube defects?
Anencephaly: failure of fusion of cephalic portion neural folds
Exencephaly: failure of scalp/skull formation, exteriorization of abnormally formed brain
Encephalocele: failure of complete skull formation, brain tissue extrudes
Iniencephaly: defect of cervical/thoracic vertebrae: abnormally formed brain tissue and retroflexed upper spine
What are spinal neural tube defects?
Spina bifida: failure of fusion of caudal neural tube (vertebrae, spinal cord or meninges) exposued to amniotic fluid
Meningocele: failure of fusion of caudal portion of neural tube, meninges exposed
Myelomeningocele: meninges and neural tissue exposed
Myeloschisis: flattened mass of neural tissue exposed
Holoraschisis: failure of fusion of vertebral arches, entire spinal cord exposed
Craniorachischisis: coexisting anencephaly and open neural tube defect, in cervical-thoracic region
How do you close 1cm tear on bladder dome?
Polyglactin (vicryl) 910 first layer running, second layer imbricating
What is cervical cancer staging?
Stage 1A1: stromal invasion, <3mm depth. Can tx w/ cervical conization to preserve fertility or simple hyst (extra-fascial) if done w/ childbearing.
Stage 1A2: stromal infasion, 3-5mm depth. Tx=modified radical hyst w/ LAD, bc incr risk parametrial involvement so can’t just do simple hyst.
Stage 1B1: grossly visible tumor confined to cervix, < 4cm in diameter.
Stage 1B2: > 4cm in diameter
Stage IIA: spread to upper vagina, no parametrium
Stage IIB: parametrium included but not pelvic side wall
Stage IIIA: extension into lower ⅓ vagina, no pelvic side wall
Stage IIIB: extension into pelvic side wall and/or ureter
Stage IV: tx=chemotherapy
What is a gene mutation associated with cardiomyopathy in pregnancy?
MYH7
Does metformin cross the placenta?
Yes
What are facts about Glyburide in pregnancy?
sulfonylurea increases insulin secretion and sensitivity of peripheral tissues.
- avoid in sulfa allergy
- incr risk hypoglycemia in infants
In what phase of cell division are oocytes arrested between birth and ovulation?
Prophase 1
When does the placenta take over progesterone production?
10 weeks
When does Warfarin embryopathy occur?
If used between 6-12 wks. Causes nasal/facial hypoplasia, stipping/rings of vertebral/femoral epiphyses on US
What is the most common DVT in pregnancy?
proximal L leg (iliac/iliofemoral) 2/2 incr venous stasis from compression of L iliac vein by R iliac artery and IVC compression
What are the stages of twin twin transfusion syndrome?
Stage 1: mono-di twins w/ oligo and poly
Stage 2: absent bladder in donor twin
Stage 3: abnormal dopplers
Stage 4: hydrops
Stage 5: death of one or both twins.
What is Rhogam dosing?
300 mcg dose, covers 30ml fetal whole blood or 15ml fetal RBC.
- test indirect Coombs test of mom before giving Rhogam.
Rhogam works by Blocking D antigenic determinants on the erythrocyte membrane
What is first trimester screening?
NT (>3mm=bad) + b-hcg, PAPP-A, AFP
What is second trimester screening?
Screens for open neural tube defects + T18/21.
HCG, AFP, inhibin A, estradiol
What are environmental factors associated with neural tube defects?
antiepileptic carbamazepine (spina bidifda), valproic acid, fungal toxin fumonisin, maternal hyperthermia, pregestational diabetes, obesity, Chinese race
- neural tube defects: high risk of latex allergy!!
