Q

Febrile patient with 40C fever responds to medicine and returns. She delivered vaginally 8 hours ago. What do you suspect is the cause of fever?

A

High spiking fever, 39C or higher, developing within the first 24 hours after birth may be associated with a very virulent pelvic infection caused by either group A or group B streptococcus

Q

A 42-year-old in your office who is now 5 weeks pregnant
with her fifth baby. She is very concerned regarding the risk of down syndrome because of her advance maternal age.
After extensive genetic counseling, she has decided to
undergo a second-trimester amniocentesis to determine
the karyotype of her fetus. Prior to performing the procedure, you inform the patient that all of the following are possible complications of the amniocentesis. EXCEPT:

a. Amniotic fluid leakage
b. Chorioamnionitis
c. Limb reduction defects
d. Cell culture failure

c. if she has had a previous baby with triploidy
d. if she has had three first trimester spontaneous abortion

A

c. if she has had a previous baby with triploidy

b. Ultrasound examination
c. Amniocentesis
d. Amniography

A

b. Ultrasound examination

c. Better in multiple gestation
d. Wide gestational age range
e. More convenient for patients

A

c. better in multiple gestation

Williams, pg 286
Sonography can augmesnt screening by providing acurate gestational age assessment by detecting multifetal gestations and by identifying major sturctural abnormalities and minor sonographic markers.

a. 14 days
b. 21 days
c. 25 days
d. 35 days

A

d. 35 days

Williams, pg 192
NTDs result from incomplete closure of the neaural tube by the embryonic age of 26 to 28 days.

Presomite- 19 days
-differentiation of body stalk and en embryonic sac is formed

7 somites- 21 days
-neural groove begins forming

17 somites- 22 days
PERIODS:

  • IMPLANTATION: 1-2 Weeks

pg 192

Myelomeningocele - herniation of a meningeal sac containing neural elements

Meningocele – is a birth defect where there is a sac protruding from the spinal column. The sac includes spinal fluid, but does not contain neural tissue. It may be covered with skin or with meninges

Anencephaly - is the absence of a major portion of the brain, skull, and scalp that occurs during embryonic development.

Myeloschisis - a developmental defect characterized by a cleft spinal cord that results from the failure of the neural plate to fuse and form a complete neural tube
