Sxs:
Thin, off white vaginal discharge
fishy odor
no inflammation
Bacterial vaginosis (Gardnerella vaginalis)
Tx: metro or clinda
Vaginitis sxs Micro:
pH >4.5
clue cells
positive whiff test (amine odor with KOH)
Bacterial Vaginosis
(garnerella vaginalis)
Tx: metro or clinda
Vaginitis sxs:
Thin yellow-green frothy discharge
Vaginal inflamatin
Trichomoniasis
(trichomonas Vaginalis)
TX: Metro and treat sexual partner
Vaginits sxs :
Thick, cottage cheese discharge
vaginal inflammation
Candida vaginitis
Tx: fluconazole
Vaginitis sxs micro:
pH >4.5
Motile trichomonadas
Trichomoniasis
(trichomonas Vaginalis)
TX: Oral Metro and treat sexual partner
vaginits sx micro:
normal pH (3.8-4.5)
Pseudohyphae
Candida Vaginitis
Tx: Fluconazole
vaginal metronidazole for trichomoniasis
vaginal metro fails to eradicate T.vaginals from all reservoirs of infection (eg concomitant urethral and periurethral gland infections.
Not recommended tx
classical Lobular Carcinoma in situ (LCIS)
Incidental finding on breast biopsy for other reason. Arises in the terminal ducts and lobules of the breast.
No pleomorphic changes, non invasive lesion, observed with survailance
non classical LCIS
Arises in terminal ducts and lobules.
Has nuclear pleomorphism, distorted cellular adherence, and areas of necrosis.
Increases risk of invasive lobular or ductal carcinoma. Require excisional biopsy.
Step up treatment of n&v in pregnancy
- Dietary changes (small frequent meals)
- Vit b6 &H1 antihistamine
- Oral dopamine &seretonin antagonist
- IV fluids & IV antiemetics
- Corticosteroids
- TPN or tube feeding (refactory)
Tx of PMDD
SSRi are first line treatment.
Fluoxetine is nor studied and relieves both affective and somatic sxs.
However, if it doesnt work trial different SSRI. If not switch to combined OCP (progestin not effective)
pathophys of preeclampsia
abnormal cytotrophoblast invasion –>
underdeveloped maternal spiral arteries with high resistance –>
chronic placental ischemia –>
^ release of antiangiogenic factors–>
Decreased proangiogenic factors (VEGF and placental growth factor)
Effect of decreased proangiogenic factors
inhibited angiogenesis and widespread maternal endothelial cell dysfunction
dysregulated vascular tone
abnormally increased vascular permeability
Decreased end organ perfusion
Endothilin and thromboxane A2 in preeclampsia
Endothelin adn TXA2 are potent vasoconstrictors.
Typically increased due to increased production in dysfunctional endothelial cells
risks for cervical cancer
infection with high- risk HPV (eg. 16, 18)
Hx of STI
Early onset sexual activity
multiple or high-risk partners
immunosuppresion
OCP use
low socioeconomic status
tobacco use
