Hyperinsulinemia /insulin resistance alters hypothalamic hormonal feedback response, causing an increase is LH: FSH ratio (LH 2x FSH) →↑testosterone from theca cells causes hirsutism and gets converted to estrogen→↓FSH→↓follicle maturation/rupture (anovulation) + unruptured follicles form bilateral cysts Presentation: amenorrhea/oligomenorrhea, hirsutism, acne, infertility Assoc w/ obesity ↑risk of endometrial cancer 2° to unopposed estrogen --------- in depth: ↑LH causes ↑androgens from theca cells.

urgent MRI to confirm spinal epidural abscess
Oxytocin stimulates
uterine contraction + milk production
After delivering baby, placenta has yet to be delivered, pressure on umbilical cord leads to sudden avulsion, onset of severe pain, and vaginal bleeding. fundus cannot be palpated. a firm, rounded mass is seen protruding from the vagina
uterine inversion tx w/ fluids, manual replacement; discontinue uterotonics
At what B-HCG can transabdominal vs transvaginal ultrasound detect gestational sac?
vaginal: >2000 abdominal: >6500
Indications for delivery in preeclampsia w/o vs w/ severe features
w/o = 37 wks w/ = 34
Threshold for induction for preeclampsia w/ vs w/o severe features
w/o severe features = 37 wks w/ = 34
Rectus abdominis diastasis
weakening of linea alba b/w rectus abdominis muscles during or after pregnancy
Tx for PCOS?
weight reduction (↓peripheral estrone formation) OCPs (prevent endometrial hyperplasia due to unopposed estrogen) letrozole, clomiphene, metformin to induce ovulation spironolactone, ketoconazole (antiandrogens) for hirsutism
Binding of terbutaline to ______ receptors on the uterus leads to
β2 receptors ("terbu-2-line"); GCPRs w/ Gs subunit Activates cAMP/PKA cascade→ inhibits myosin light-chain kinases→ relaxes uterus (stops contractions)
Pap indications after total hysterectomy for CIN 3?
• CIN 3 requires 1 and 2 years post-procedural pap testing to rule out vaginal recurrence ● If patient had CIN 2 or greater, pap smear should be done annually for 20 years after diagnosis, regardless of hysterectomy
Normal weird during pregnancy
• CO rises • Afterload decreases due to fall in SVR -mild chronic respiratory alkalosis (↓Co2, ↓HCO3, ↑pH) • Preload rises due to ↑blood volume -this dilutes blood*, ↓ oncotic pressure→edema -lower Hgb -lower platelets (down 100,000) -mild leukocytosis -low Cr (0.4-0.8) -low BUN -urine protein (( up to 300 )↑GBM permeability) -↑GFR, RBF -bilateral hydronephrosis -Mid-systolic murmur -edema Uworld: 4148, 15698
How are CO, Preload, and afterload affected by pregnancy? What accounts for edema?
• CO rises • Preload rises due to ↑blood volume -this dilutes blood*, ↓ oncotic pressure→edema • Afterload decreases due to fall in SVR *somehow, dilutes blood =/= ↓osmolality. ↓oncotic pressure bc of lost albumin, but other things must make up for it bc osmolality is the same (am230077)
Risk factors for SIDS
• Infant stomach sleeping • Maternal smoking during pregnancy • Very young maternal age (<20) • Bed sharing (infant/parent) • Prematurity/low birth weight
Type of urinary incontinence w/ MS affecting UMNs vs LMNs
• UMNs→ loss of inhibitory control over bladder → urge incontinence -low postvoid residual volume <150 ml - detrusor overactivity -M3 ANTAGonists: (Oxybutynin, tolterodine, solifenacin); Mirabegron (β-3 AGONIST) • LMNs → hypotonic bladder → overflow incontinence -detrusor underactivity; dribbling/retention -higher postvoid volume (>150 mL) -intermittent cath
• Young women are more prone to cervicitis bc they have ↑ _______ epithelium (↑ susceptibility to Gonorrhea and Chlamydia infections) • Over time this ______ epithelium is replaced with ______ epithelium → ↑ microbial resistance • ↑ _________ → thickening of cervical mucus plug → ↓ risk of infection
• Young women have ↑ columnar epithelium lining their cervix • Overtime this columnar epithelium is replaced with squamous epithelium → ↑ microbial resistance • ↑ progesterone → thickening of cervical mucus plug → ↓ risk of infection
Endometriosis cancer risk?
↑ risk of carcinoma at site of endometriosis, especially in ovary
