UWorld 1 Flashcards
35 yo F evaluated for fixed palpated breast mass s/p b/l reduction mammoplasty for mammary hyperplasia 2 yrs ago
- mammo shows spiculated 3x3 mass w/ calcifications
- US: hyperechoic mass
- Core biopsy: foamy macrophages and fat globules
(a) Dx
(b) Tx
(a) Fat necrosis = benign
- associated w/ prior breast surgery: reduction/reconstruction
- give away is the biopsy
(b) Tx = reassurance and f/u
Tx of uterine atony
First: bimanual massage and oxytocin
Then uterotonic meds
- methylergonovine (if no h/o HTN) b/c vasoconstricts
- carbopost (if no h/o asthma)
- misoprostol
Normal pH of vaginal secretions
3.8-4.5
Congenital rubella syndrome triad
Deafness, cataracts, cardiac defect = congenital rubella
When to give bethamethasone
Immature fetus can benefit from bethamethasone if given btwn 24-34 weeks
-also takes 24-48 hrs to take full effect => wouldn’t give to fetus that is urgently getting delivered
How finding of malignant features changes workup of an ovarian cyst
Changes workup if CA-125 is not elevated, if CA-125 is elevated you automatically do CT scan or met disease exploratory surgery anyway
CA-125 not elevated, if don’t have any malignant features, can observe w/ serial CA-125 and US
Mammary Paget disease
Mammary Paget disease = painful, ithcy, eczematous +/- ulcerating rash on nipple that spreads to areola
-85% have underlying malignancy (adenocarcinoma)
How to differenate fat necrosis vs. breast cancer
Need biopsy
Fat necrosis- will see fat globules and foamy histiocytes (macrophages).
25 yo nulligravid p/w pelvic and lower sacral back pain x1 yr, intensifies before menstruation
- unimproved w/ ibuprophen/OCPs
- PE: fornix tenderness, decreased uterine motility, thickening of uterosacral lig
Dx and Mgmt
Dx = endometriosis- chronic pelvic pain
Next step = laproscopy = direct visualization, biopsy, and removal of endometrial lesions
-indicated when conservative tx (NSAIDs/OCPs) fail
Contraindications to breast feeding
Active Tb, maternal HIV, herpetic lesions, varicella less than 5 days before or 2 days after delivery
- chemo/radiation
- active substance use (EtOH, drugs)**
-NOT HEP C
Describe the 5 parts of the BPP
- NST
- Amniotic fluid volume
- Fetal breathing movement
- fetal movement
- fetal tone
BPP: get 2 pts for each, 2 accels
(2) Amniotic fluid volume- single fluid pocket > 2x1cm or amniotic fluid index over 5
(3) 1+ breathing episode for 30+ seconds
(4) 3+ general body movements
(5) 1+ episodes of flexion/extension of fetal limbs or spine
Fetal US shows anterior placenta covering the cervical os and amniotic fluid index under 1.5 with single fluid pocket of 1.5x1cm
- 4 episodes of fetal mov’t
- 2 extension/flexion events
- nonreactive NST
- no fetal breathing
Calculate the BPP
BPP:
(1) 0 pts for nonreactive NST
(2) Oligohydramnios- want amniotic fluid index over 5 => 0 for amniotic fluid volume
(3) no breathing episodes => 0 for breathing episode (want 1+ for 30+ seconds)
(4) 2 pts for 3+ general body movements
(5) 2 pts for 1+ flexion/extension
= 4/10 = indicates fetal hypoxia 2/2 placental dysfunction/insufficiency
34 yo F at 32 weeks gestation p/w intense itching especially on soles of feet
- negative hepatitis panel
- elevated total bile acids, AST/ALT, D. bili
Dx
Intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy = functional d/o of bile formation
- presents w/ intense pruritis, 10% present w/ jaundice
- dx of exclusion
Clomiphene citrate
(a) Mechanism
(b) Indication
SERM = selective estrogen receptor modulator prescribed to induce ovulation
-pro-fertility agent to reverse anovaulation (ex: PCOS) or oligoovulation
Acts as estrogen analog to increase GnRH (and therefore FSH) release to stimulate ovulation
Presentation of HELLP syndrome
HELLP = Hemolytic anemia w/ Elevated Liver enzymes and Low Plts
-preeclampsia, nausea/vom, RUQ pain
Describe 3 changes in the BMP seen in pregnancy
- Decreased BUN
- Decrease creatinine
^both 2/2 increased GRD - Mild hyponatremia 2/2 increase in ADH release
Triad of congenital toxo
Chorioretinitis, hydrocephalus, intracranial calcifications
-big give away is intracranial calcifications = toxo
When is GBS testing performed
Test results are valid for about 5 weeks => perform at 35-37 weeks
-purpose is to identify mothers who need ppx abx to prevent transmission
Signs of IUFD
Signs of intrauterine fetal demise (death of fetus after 20 weeks)
- disappearance of fetal movement
- decrease or stagnation in uterine size
- fetal heart sounds no longer present
Not beta-hCG decline- b/c remains elevated as placenta is still in tact
Timeline for giving RhoGAM
Up to 72 hrs after delivery
-so if it’s an emergency and mother starts bleeding you can wait and deal w/ other stuff first
RF for vasa previa
Placenta previa in 2nd T that resolves in the 3rd- b/c possibly leaves vessels over the internal cervical os
Recall: vasa previa = fetal vessels transverse the membranes over the internal cervical os
Presenation of vasa previa
Painless vaginal bleeding w/ ROM
+
Fetal deterioration: sinusoidal waveform or bradycardia
Differentiate fibrocystic changes and fibroadenoma
Both are cyclic changes in breast tissue causing premenstrual tenderness
Fibrocystic changes = multiple diffuse nodulocystic masses
Firboadenoma = solitary nodule
Why do we screen for bacturia in pregnant ladies?
(a) When is the screening?
B/c pregnant F are more likely to have asymptomatic bacturia which can => cystitis, low fetal birth weight, pyelo, preterm birth, increased perinatal mortality
(a) Screen w/ clean-catch UA at 12-16 wks
How to prevent vertical transmission of HIV
Maternal combination (triple drug) tx + neonatal Zidovudine reduces perineal HIV transmission to under 1%
First step to work up a nonreactive fetal stress test
First thing is to let the test go on longer, test is only 20 minutes but fetal sleep cycle can be up to 40 mins => extend test to 40-120 minutes to ensure fetus is not sleepping
Most common symptom of neisseria gonorrhoeae
Usually asymptomatic (over 50%), if symptoms = cervicitis -mucopurulent discharge w/ friable and easily bleeding cervix
What a BPP of 2/10 tells you
BPP tells you about the FUNCTION of the placenta (not location)
BPP under 4/10 indicates fetal hypoxia 2/2 placental insufficiency/dysfunction
Explain why pregnancy is a prothrombic state
- decrease protein S activity
- increase in fibrinogen and cogulation factors
Describe management if pt presents at 37 and 5/7 w/ vaginal spotting
-on exam visualize placental tissue over the internal cervical os
Dx = placenta previa
Mgmt = C-section, vaginal delivery would require placenta to be delivered before the fetus => deprive fetus of O2
-first step would NOT be rhogam, you can give that later!
Describe a reactive fetal nonstress test
3 components for a fetal nonstress test (track HR for 20 mins) to be considered ‘reactive’- aka reassuring or good negative predictive value to r/o fetal hypoxia
- baseline HR 110-160
- moderate variability: 6-25/min
- 2 or more accels w/in 20 mins, each peaking about 15/min above baseline and lasting over 15 sec
NST on a premature fetus
-Describe and explain findings
Premature fetus will have no accels on NST b/c the fetal sympathetic nervous system doesn’t develop until 26-28 weeks
Presentation of placental abruption
Sudden onset bleeding, abdominal pain, hypertonic/tender uterus, tachysystole (frequent contractions)
Differentiate presentation of vasa previa and placenta previa
Vasa previa (fetal vessels transverse membranes overthe internal cervical os)- presents w/ painless vaginal bleeding and fetal deterioration -so see FHR decompensate (tachy --> brady or sinusoidal), while maternal VS remain stable
Placenta previa- bleeding is maternal in origin => you see maternal instead of fetal deterioration
Differentiate active vs. latent labor?
Labor split into 3 stages: dilation of cervix, delivery of baby, delivery of placenta
Dilation of cervix is split into
- latent = 0 to 6 cm
- active = 6 to 10 cm
Malignant features of an ovarian cyst
Solid mass, large size, thick septations, loculations
Describe vaginal discharge/inflammation seen in
(a) Bacterial vaginosis
(b) Trichomoniasis
(c) Candida vaginosis
Type of vaginal discharge/inflammation
(a) Bacterial vaginosis- thin, off white d/c w/ fishy odor
- no vaginal inflammation
(b) Trich- thin yellow/green malodorous frothy d/c
+vaginal inflammation
(c) Cadida- thick ‘cottage cheese’ d/c
+vaginal inflammation
62 yo nulligravid F w/ right adnexal enlargement
-US reveals 5cm r. ovarian cyst
First step in dx
Evaluating adenexal mass in postmeno F- first step is measure CA-125
-dont measure CA-125 in premenopausal b/c can be elevated for tons of other reasons (fibroids etc)
Then tx depends on CA-125
If elevated => CT scan or met disease exploratory surgery
CA-125 not elevated- see if malignant features of ultrasound
40 yo G5P0040 at 35 weeks p/w no fetal mov’t x24hr, NST for 1 hr shows no accels, US at 32 wks showed fetus in breech w/ placenta previa
Next step in management?
BPP (biophysical profile)
After nonreactive NST- do BPP or CST (contraction stimulation test) to determine if C-section is indicated
-in this case there is placenta previa => CST is contraindicated
