UWorld 6+ Flashcards
treatment for different types of urinary incontinence
stress:
-lifestyle modifications, pelvic floor exercises, pessary, pelvic floor surgery
urgency:
-lifestyle modifications, bladder training, anti-MUSCARINIC drugs
mixed (stress and urgency)
-variable tx depending on predominant s/s
overflow:
-id and correct underlying causes, CHOLINERGIC agonists, intermittent self-catheterization
delivery planning for a nonviable fetus
fetal diagnosis
- anencephaly
- b/l renal agenesis
- holoprosencephaly
- acardia
- thanatophoric dwarfism
- intrauterine fetal demise
ob management (minimize mom m&m)
- vaginal delivery
- no fetal monitoring
neonatal management:
-palliative care if not stillborn
spontaneous abortion
pregnancy loss <20wks
CP: heavy vaginal bleeding, cramping, dilated cervix without passage of gestational tissue
RF
- advanced maternal age
- previous spontaneous abortion
- substance abuse
tx options:
- expectant
- medical induction (misoprostol)
- suction curettage if infection or hemodynamic instability
additional management:
- Rho(D) ig
- path exam
complications of a spontaneous abortion
- hemorrhage
- retained products of conception
- septic abortion
- uterine perforation
- intrauterine adhesions
RF for fetal macrosomia (weight >4kg)
maternal
- advanced age
- diabetes
- excessive weight gain d/r pregnancy or pre-existing obesity
- multiparity
fetal:
- AA or Hispanic
- male sex
- post-term pregnancy
Erg-Duchenne palsy
- mc type of brachial plexus injury
- 5th, 6th, and sometimes 7th CN
- weakness of the deltoid and infraspinatus muscles (C5), biceps (C6), and wrist/finger extensors (C7) leads to predominance of the opposing muscles=waiters tip
tx: gentle massage and physical therapy to prevent contractors
- up to 80% of its have spontaneous recovery in 3 mo
cervical ionization (excision of intact transformation zone) -cold knife vs LEEP
indications: CIN2 and 3 (RF: HPV and tobacco)
complications:
- cervical stenosis
- preterm birth
- preterm premature rupture of membranes
- 2T pregnancy loss
cervical stenosis
- abnml stricture of cervical canal
- may impede menstrual flow=secondary dysmenorrhea or amenorrhea
- block sperm=infertility
uterine rupture RF
- prior uterine surgery (cesarean, myomectomy)
- induction of labor/prolonged labor
- congenital uterine anomalies
- fetal macrosomia
Uterine rupture CP and management
CP:
- excruciating abdo pain
- vaginal bleeding
- intraabdo bleeding (hypoTN, tachy)
- fetal heart decals (d/t disruption of maternal-placental circulation)
- l/o fetal station
- palpable fetal parts on abdominal exam
- l/o intrauterine pressure
management: laparotomy for delivery and uterine repair
shoulder dystocia
-failure of usual ob maneuvers to deliver fetal shoulders
RF:
- fetal macrosomia** (>4.5kg/9.9lb)
- maternal obesity
- excessive pregnancy weight gain
- gestational diabetes
- post-term pregnancy (>42 wks)
warning signs:
- protracted labor
- retraction of fetal head into the perineum after delivery (turtle sign hehe. turtle turtle.)
what can shoulder dystocia cause
ob emergency d/t r/o:
- neonatal brachial plexus injury
- clavicular and humeral fracture
- if prolonged: hypoxic brain injury and death
rectovaginal fistula
-may occur after ob trauma
CP: incontinence of flatus and feces through the vagina
-red velvety rectal mouse may be seen on posterior vaginal wall
ovarian ca
- one of the leading causes of ca mortality
- typically diagnosed in advanced stages with widespread mets
- no screening tests exist to detect avg risk ppl in early, more treatable stages
granulosa cell tumor
path:
- sex cord-stomal tumor
- inc estradiol and inhibin
clinical features: complex ovarian mass juvenile subtype -precocious puberty adult subtype: -breast tenderness -abnml uterine bleeding -postmenopausal bleeding
histo: call-exner bodies (cells in rosette pattern)
management: endometrial bx (endometrial ca) or sx (tumor staging)
granulosa cells
convert T to estradiol (via aromatase) and secrete inhibit (which inhibits FSH)
