ACOG Guidelines for PAPS
- Begins at age 21 (regardless of behavior, risk factors, and age of first sex
- 21-29 yr olds - cytology every 3 years no HPV testing
- 30-65 yr old- cytology and HPV testing every 5 years; cytology alone every 3 years; HPV alone not recommended
- After 65 yrs - depends on previous resuts; previous negative; 3 consecutive neg or 2 consecutive co-test= no further testing; continue screening if CIN2, CIN3 or adenocarcinoma; hysterectomy = no further testing if cervix removed and no history of CIN2 or higher; screening continues every 3 years for next 20 years
ACOG guidelines do not apply if:
- HIV infection
- Immunosuppression
- Exposure to diethylstilbestrol (DES) in utero
- History of cervical cancer
HPV vaccine guidelines:
- Targets HPV-16 and HPV-18
- 2 most common cancer causing HPV types
- Vaccine does not protect against 30% of cervical cancer caused by HPV types other than 16 and 18
- Nearly 100% protection if women are not exposed to the virus and get the vaccine
- Less level of protection if a woman was already exposed to HPV 16 or 18
- May not see impact of vaccine for 15-20 years, thus still need to screen regularly
- Now given to both sexes
Stage 1 Tanner of Penis
- 9-13yrs
- trace pubic hair
- small amount of lengthening of the penis and testicles
- infrequent erections
Stage 2 Tanner of Penis
- 11-13 yrs
- height 3in per year
- hair thickens and darkens
- testicles lengthen
- sac thins and reddened
- body lean
- more infrequent erections
Stage 3 Tanner of Penis
- 14yrs
- penis continues to grow in length
- testicle sac grows
- hair very prominent
- nipples sensitive
- voice changes/breaks
Stage 4 Tanner of Penis
- 15 yrs
- height of 4in per year
- testicles lengthens
- penis considerably thickens
- armpit hair begins
- pubic hair fully covered
- acne begins
- voice deepens
Stage 5 Tanner of Penis
- 16-18yrs
- adolescence complete
- penis and testicle full size
- body growth slowly stops
- pubic hair to inner thighs
- hair chin and cheeks
- muscle development
direct hernia
- less common
- men>40yr
- rare women
- above inguinal ligament, close to pubic tubercle
- rarely into scrotum
- bulges anteriorly and pushes the side of examiners finger forward
Indirect hernia
- most common
- both sexes
- often children, maybe adults
- above inguinal ligament near midpoint
- often into scrotum
- comes down inguinal canal and touches fingertip
femoral hernia
- least common
- more common in women than men
- below inguinal ligament
- more lateral than inguinal hernia
- hard to differentiate from lymph node
- never scrotum
- inguinal canal is empty
scrotum drains its lymph into the
inguinal nodes
penis drains its lymph into the
inguinal nodes
testes drain its lymph into the
abdomen
melena color of stool
black tarry sticky stool
usually higher GI
GERD, peptic ulcer, gastritis
black color of stool
non-sticky
iron, licorice, bismuth salts
hematochezia color of stool
red blood
usually in colon, rectum, or anus
colon cancer, polyps, diverticula, hemorrhoids, anal fissue, inflammatory conditions of the colon and rectum
reddish, nonbloody cold of stool=
ingestion of certain foods
Prostate cancer screening
- start age 50
- start at 45 if African American , father or brother with prostate cancer before 65
- if tested: PSA with or without rectal; frequency of testing depends on level
PSA Test
Biomarker for early detection Limitations Elevated in benign conditions False positives False negatives Unnecessary testing Biopsy Level interpretation Common cutpoint for biopsy is 4.0 ng/ml Over diagnosis Side effects with treatment
Digital Rectal Exam
Low sensitivity: 59%
Specificity: 94%
Detects tumors on the posterior and lateral aspects
Misses 25-35% of tumors arising in other areas
Abnormal findings need to be investigated
Colorectal Cancer Screening
—-Average risk
Starting at 50 years both male and female
Annual Fecal occult blood
Multiple stool take home kit
Positive result-colonoscopy
Sigmoidoscopy every 5 years with fecal occult blood every 3 years
Screening colonoscopy every 10 years
Another option: double contrast barium enema or computed tomography colonography every 5 years
—-Increased risk
Inflammatory bowel disease or family history of an inherited polyposis syndrome
Colonoscopy every 3-5 years
Prostatitis Acute
Presents fever, UTI and low back pain Gland Tender, swollen, “boggy” & warm E coli Under 35 STI
Prostatitis chronic
Recurrent UTI Asymptomatic of dysuria, mild back pain Gland Normal E coli
Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia
Nonmalignant 50% of 50 year olds Urgency, frequency, nocturia, decrease stream, incomplete emptying Gland Normal or symmetrically enlarged
Prostate Cancer
Gland
Hardness
Irregular
Obscured median sulcus
Anal fissure
Painful
Location
Most are midline posteriorly
Swollen sentinel skin tag
Polyps
Fairly common
Variable size and number
Pedunculated or sessile
Soft and difficult to feel
Anorectal Fistula
Inflammatory tract
Opens into rectum or anus and skin or viscus
Usually caused by abscess
Hemorrhoids internal prolapsed
Enlargement of vascular cushions Above pectinate line Not palpable Bright red bleeding Prolapse Reddish moist
Hemorrhoids external thrombosed
Dilated veins
Below pectinate line
Usually asymptomatic unless thrombosed
Tender, blue, swollen and ovoid
Apendages of the skin
Hair Nails Sebaceous glands Eccrine sweat glands Apocrine sweat glands
hair types:
- Vellus – short, fine, inconspicuous and relatively unpigmented
- Terminal hair - coarser, thicker, more conspicuous, and usually pigmented examples would be scalp hair and eyebrows
nails:
- p33 in lab manual
- Nail plate
- Nail bed
- Cuticle
- Nail root
- Nail plate
- Lunula
- Proximal nail fold
Sebaceous glands
- Secrete sebum – a lipid rich substance that keeps the skin and hair from drying out
- Largest sebaceous glands are found on the face and upper back
- Absent from soles and palms
- Production of sebum is dependent on gland size , which is directly influenced by androgen secretion
Eccrine sweat glands
- Open directly on the surface of the skin
- Help to regulate body temperature through water secretion
- Located mainly in the axillae, forehead, palms and soles
- Absent in the nail beds and some mucosal surfaces i.e. lip margins
Apocrine glands
- Larger and deeper than eccrine glands
- Specialized structures – axillae, nipples, areolae, anogenital area, eyelids, and external ears
- Reach maturity only at puberty
- Secretion can increase in times of stress
- Odorless
- Bacterial decomposition of apocrine sweat produces body odor
‘ABCDEs’ Early recognition of possible Melanoma
A – for Asymmetry of one side compared to the other
B – irregular Borders, ragged, notched, or blurred
C – variation in color – esp. blue and black mixed
D – for Diameter > 6 mm
E – for Evolution or change in size, symptoms, or morphology
