Reproductive Flashcards
Alcohol consumption by mother causes
Impaired migration of neuronal and glial cell
Smooth philtrum Thin vermilion Small palpebral fissures Mental retardation and microcephaly Heart and limb defects Heart and lung fistula Holoprosencephaly
Neonatal abstinence synd
Features in newborn which suddenly are withdrawn from maternal opiate effect
Seen as diarrhoea tremors seizures high pitched crying problem sucking
Hcg therapy is used
To triger ovulation in an oocyte donor when her follicles are matured enough
Pulsatile GnRh therapy is used in
Hypogonadotropic hypogonadal anovulation to stimulate ovulation
These pts have intact pituitary and ovarian function but have problems concieving because of disordered hypothalamic GnRH secretion
Clomiphene citrate is antiestrogen
Used to stimulate ovulation in
Pts with normal gondotropin and normal prolactin and thyroid pts
They simply have ovulatory failure
Clomiphene being antiestrogen blocks the hypothalamic feedback. Gnrh increases fsh and lh increases ovulation occurs
Genetic disorder with dysgenesis of seminiferous tubules
Barr body presence in male
Fsh and estrogen are high
Inhibin b and testosterone are low
Kleinfelter syndrome
Shortened 4th metacarpal
Turners
Turners cause is
Meiotic non disjunctjon or mitotic non disjunction
Most commonly it is sperm lacking a sex chromosome— paternal loss of x or y chromosome
If mitotic non dysjunction —seen in zygote and leads to mosaicism
Gonadoblastoma in turners is seen with what type of genetics
When turners is due to mosaicism
45X/46XX
Premature ovarian failure causez
Smoking
Chemotherapy
Radiation therapy
Treatment of pid shud include
Drugs targetting both neisseria gono and chlamydia trachomatis
third gen cephalosporin and azithromycin/ doxycycline
Semen characteristics in congenital abs of vas deferens
Low sperm volume
Acidic ph of semen
Major organisms for pid
N gono
Chlamydia trachomatis
Use of flutamide in prostate cancer
Used concurrently with long acting GnRh agonist like leuprolide which initially causes lh and testosterone release transient effect
To counteract this testosterone receptor antagonist like flutamide is given
Can reduce growth of tumour and metastasis
Use of aromatase inhibitors
Anastrozole
Used in postmenopausal females with ER positive breast cancer
Inhibits peripheral conv of androgens to estrogen
Uses of finasteride
It is 5 alpfa reductase inhibitor
Prostatic hypertrophy
Male pattern baldness ( effect of DHT)
Blocks testosterone to DHt peripheral conversion
Name serms
Tamoxifen
Raloxifene
Why are tamoxifen and raloxifen called modulators
Because they have mixed agonist/ antagonist action
Side effects of serm therapy
Hot flashes
Deep vein thrombosis and others veins
Endometrial carcinoma/hyperplasia with tamoxifen only
Why is prolactinoma associated with infertility in both males and females
Because prolaction is inhibitory of GnRH SECRETION at hypothalamus
Prolactin secretion is controlled by
Trh and vip has positive role in secretion
Dopamine inhibits secretion
Testicular atrophy and gynaecomastia are seen in both anabolic steroid abuse as well as kleinfelters syndrome
What symptoms can differentiate
Acne aggressive behaviour
Male pattern baldness and early epiphyseal closure (short height) is anabolic steroid abuse
On other hand ks has azospermia, tall height, cognitive impairement, absence of secondary sexual characterisitics
Most common malignancy in struma ovarii
Papillary thy ca
Followed by
Follicular thy ca
Newborn crying tremors tachypnea sneezing diarrhoea
Increased tone points to what syndr
Neonatal abstinence syndrome
Due to withdrawal from maternal opiate effect
Treatment of neonatal abstinence syndrome
Give opiates since it is opiate withdrawal symptoms
Give morphine or methadone
Cvs manifestation of congenital rubella
PDA
peripheral pulmonic stenosis
