Q

Toxemia of Pregnancy

A
  • Preeclampsia
  • A complication of pregnancy characterized by high blood pressure and signs of damage to other organ systems, such as the liver or kidneys.
  • Characterized by edema of the extremities and face, high blood pressure, high albuminuria (high protein in the urine)
  • Cause is unknown, can lead to eclampsia
18
Q

Eclampsia

A

Seizures that occur during a woman’s pregnancy or shortly after giving birth.

19
Q

Tubal Pregnancy

A

An embryo attempts to develop in the fallopian tube

20
Q

Abdominal Pregnancy

A

Fertilized ovum attempts to develop in the abdominal cavity

21
Q

Extrauterine/Ectopic Pregnancies

A
  • Names used to refer to tubal and abdominal pregnancies
  • pregnancy that occurs when a fertilized egg implants and grows outside the main cavity of the uterus
22
Q

Endometriosis

A

A condition where endometrial tissue is located elsewhere in the pelvic or abdominal area

23
Q

Ovarian Cyst

A
  • Sacs filled with fluids that develop on or within the ovary
  • Functional disorder
24
Q

Functional Disorder

A

A disorder that is not caused by a disease

25
Q

Endometriomas

A
  • Chocolate Cysts/Ovarian blood cysts
  • A blood-filled sac or pocket (cyst) within or on the surface of an ovary.
26
Q

Dermoid Cyst

A
  • Benign tumor that is covered in dermis-like tissue that forms on the ovary
  • Cystic Teraroma: a type of dermoid cyst that can also occur on the ovary
27
Q

Cystadenoma

A

Benign ovarian tumor that develops from the surface epithelium of the ovary

28
Q

Cystadenocarcinoma

A

Malignant tumor that develops from the surface epithelium of the ovary

29
Q

Cervical Cancer

A
  • Most common form of uterine cancer
  • Most common form of malignancy affecting women worldwide
  • generally squamous cell carcinomas of the endometrium
  • Two types: squamous cell carcinoma, adenocarcinoma
30
Q

Squamous Cell Carcinoma

A

Malignant tumor that develops from the flat cells covering the outer surface of the cervix at the top of the vagina

31
Q

Adenocarcinoma

A

Malignant tumor that develops from the glandular cells lining the cervical canal

32
Q

Leiomyomas of the uterus

A
  • Fibroid tumors
  • Very common benign tumors which develop from the smooth muscle fibers in the walls of the uterus
33
Q

Breast Cancer

A
  • Very common form of cancer in women
  • Spreads rapidly through the blood and lymphatic vessels in the chest area
  • early detection is key to a good prognosis: discovered through biopsy
34
Q

Mastectomy

A
  • Surgical removal of a breast or part of a breast
  • Types: (Lumpectomy), subcutaneous, simple/total, modified radical, radical
35
Q

Lumpectomy

A
  • Removal of the lump and an area of healthy tissue around its edges
  • most preferable because it requires less removal of tissue
36
Q

Subcutaneous Mastectomy

A

Removal of the entire breast leaving the nipple and areola

37
Q

Simple/Total Mastectomy

A
  • Removal of the entire breast, but not the axillary Lymph nodes
38
Q

Modified Radical Mastectomy

A

Removal of the entire breast and most of the axillary lymph nodes

39
Q

Radical Mastectomy

A
  • Removal of the pectoralis muscles, the breast and axillary lymph nodes,
  • Rarely performed today
40
Q

Embalming Considerations of Diseases of the Female Reproductive System

A
  • Infectious diseases need adequate disinfection
  • External lesions require surface treatment with disinfectant compresses or hypodermic injection
  • Rapid blood coagulation
  • Ascites
  • Edema
  • Discolorations
