21
Q

GBS screen

when? tx with what?

A

35-37 week, penicillin

22
Q

Gold standard for evaluation of cervix

A

Transvaginal ultrasound

23
Q

In a patient presenting with menopause-like symptoms, what should you check as part of workup.

A

FSH (bc estrogen decreases during menopause)

and

TSH!!!!! (bc hypothyroidism presents very similarly to menopause)

24
Q

Easy way to think of premature ovarian failure?

Tx?
Labs and explain this finding

A

Basically menopause1)

This is because FSH is cleared more slowly from circulation

25
Q

NBS if quad screen is pos? When to do a quad screen?

A

2nd trimester (15-20 weeks); do cell-free fetal DNA test +/- U/S

26
Q

False Labor

a) definition
b) characteristics unique to false labor (2)
c) tx

A

a) 4-8 weeks prior to delivery, contractions felt in the lower abdomen, irregular interval that does not shorten nor increase in intensity,

b)
- not accompanied by cervical changes
- usually relieved by sedation

c) discharge and reassurance

27
Q

Breast cancer (invasive ductal CA?) receptor?

How to detect?

A

Either immunohistochemical staining or FISH

28
Q

Tx for HER2 receptor positive breast adenoCA?

Side effect with this?

What to do before starting this therapy to address potential side effect?

A

Trastuzumab

Cardiotoxicity (esp in low EF patients)

Echocardiogram

29
Q

General management strategy for threatened abortions?

A

Default to expectant management unless progression to inevitable, incomplete, missed, septic

a) hemodynamically unstable (then D&C)

30
Q

Vaginismus definition and treatment

A

Involuntary psychosocial contractions of perineal musculature leading to dyspareunia

tx kegel exercises and gradual dilation

31
Q

You find on pap smear: atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance.

NBS in >25 years?
NBS in <25 years?

Peripheral adipose tissue CONVERTS ANDROGENS TO ESTROGENS VIA AROMATASE!!!!!

THE PERIPHERAL ADIPOSE DOES NOT PRODUCE ESTROGEN DIRECTLY
