Major Difference between Acromegaly & Gigantism? (Both are Pituitary Adenomas)

Acromegaly = POSTpuberty & closed Epiphiseal plates

Gigantism = PREpuberty & open Epiphiseal plates (In Puberty Estrogen & Testosterone will stimulate plates to close)

LH is important for _________ in FRS. And in FSH?

Study These Flashcards

LH = ovulation

FSH = follicle production in follicular stage to grow & develop

In what disease do the LH & FSH’s have no stimulation or abnormal? What are some clinical presentations?

Study These Flashcards

PCOS

S&S/Clinical presentation = Un-Ovulatory cycles, Oligomenorrhea, Amenorrhea, Obesity/Weight gain, Acne, Infertility, hirsutim.

What Endocrine disease is PCOS linked to?

Study These Flashcards

DM2

Typical diagnostic Triad of Endometriosis?

Study These Flashcards

*Infertility

*Dysparenia - pain during sex,

*Dysmenorrhea

Which two cancers of FRS are strongly considered to be due to STD’S? Which STD’s are the two most common?

Study These Flashcards

*Cervical & Vulvar

* Two most common are Chlamydia & Gonorrhea

The most lethal/fatal type of Cancer for Women? Why is it most worrisome?

Study These Flashcards

*Ovarian Cancer

*No Screening

What type of Cancer should you consider in a menstrual bleeding post menopausal female?

Endometrial/Uterine

In general, what increases the risk of Cancer in Reproductive Organs for Women?

Earlier onset (-9) of Menarche and later onset of Menopause - length of Menstrual life. Too late = post age 55

In _Diabetes Insipidus_ - specific gravity is _____ & _ADH_ is \_\_\_\_\_. What is the _Triad_ of characteristics? What is the _Urine color_? What affect does ADH have in _testing_?

\*Specific Gravity = _LOW_ - so _Urine will be clear_ \*_ADH_ = LOW - tubules do not accept \*_Triad_ = PolyUria, Polydipsia & Polyphasia \*Larger than 2L of urine per hour (\>5-30L) \* ADH injected - if _condition does NOT improve_ then due to **Nephrogenic condition of KD** - if _condition improves_, then due to **Central** system in Brain

What does Specific Gravity affect? How is it determined?

Concentration of Urine; depends on ability of tubules to concentrate urine Ratio = _Osmolarity of Urine_ divided by Osmolarity of Plasma

How will Urine appear in conditions of SIADH (Syndrome of Inapropriate secretion of ADH)?

Scanty & Dark Urine - Hypothalamus produces too much AHD \* Increased Specific gravity

In DM, what triad will exist? Insulin numbers will be \_\_\_\_\_\_\_.

1. Polyuria 2. Polidipsia 3. Poliphasia Insulin will be low

Where is the application of ADH?

Inhibits Urination in Distal Nephron tubule by reabsorbing more water to blood compartment

What are S&S of Meningeal presentation?

1. Stiffness of neck muscles 2. **Photophobia** 3. Occipital stiffness 4. Severe H/A 5. Actively check Brudzinsky test 6. Kernig Test 7. Spinal Tap test done btwn L3-L5

In stroke patients or patients with head trauma, when UMN is affected/injured, how will they react?

1. Reflexes Exaggerated 2. Muscles spastic 3. Babinsky Test will be present, and serious - sole of foot stroked & the toes curl in plantar extension aka dorsal flexion/fanning - shd not be present after 18 months of life

In a LMN injury, muscles will be \_\_\_\_\_\_? What other side affects?

1. Muscles atrophied 2. Flaccidity/Weakness 3. Reflexes down or disappear eventually altogether

What diasease only has degeneration of both UMN & LMN's?

ALS (Amio-Trophic Lateral Sclerosis) - Lou Gherrig's

Test done for Meningitis, severe neck stiffness causing a patients hips & knees to flex when the neck is flexed?

Brusdzinsky Test

Test done for Meningtis, severe stiffness of the hanstrings causing an inability to straighten leg when the hip is flexed to 90°?

Kernigs Test

What type of meningitis usually produces hemorrhaging & thrombosis at the same time & is considered the most deadly? Esp in Adrenals.

Bacterial Meningtis - Dissemintated intravascular coagulation

What is the difference between a patient suffering from Adenomyosis & Endometryosis?

* _Adenomyosis_ = multi-parous female patient, vigorous contractions of Uterus, _implantation of endometrium inside of muscle of Uterus_ * _Endometriosis_ = mostly in fertile females, can be _located ectopically_

Anterior cul de sac is located where? Posterior Cul de sac?

* Anterior between - UB & Ant wall of Uterus * Posterior between - Post. wall of Uterus & Ant wall of Rectum aka Pouch of Douglas

Why do most people develop ectopic pregnancy's?

PID - usually caused by STD's (Chlamydia/Ghonorrhea most common)

Pap Smear is done for?

_Cervical Cancer_ screen, smear from cervical canal to examine epithelium for dysplasia, shd be _administered by age 21_

Dimentia is a profound loss of \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_

* _Loss of Content_ of **_Consciousness_** - who we are, what life is about, understanding, short & long term memory(antero & retro), judgment loss, Interpretation is lacking, inability to write and do simple math, symbols; *_Alertness_* part is still present however * Most Common type of Dimentia is Alzheimer's

LH controls ________ phase & FSH controls _______ phase

* **_Stage 1 - LH_** controls Follicular phase/Estradiol and Ovulation - endometrium grows and day 14 starts *Proliferative for Uterus* * **_Stage 2 - LH spikes_** - Luteal phase for ovary & secretory for Uterus, LH necc. for Ovulation * **_Stage 3 FSH_** - Luteal Phase/Progesterone secretes, FSH goes up then back down when Menses will occur at end & day one of the next cycle

Preeclampsia is diagnosed by:

Pregnant women testing + for HYT 2 tests in a row _after 20 weeks of gestation_ 1. Hypertension 2. Albuminuria/Polyuria IF HYT pre 20 weeks then a pre-existing condition

Most UTI's are due to \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_

Obstruction of Urine somewhere along the system...stubborn one's will produce struvite stones

What is CSF like in Bacterial meningitis?

Cloudy & Low Glucose content - runs under higher pressure in spinal tap & there is a larger amount of proteins. \* Most importantly - IT WILL BE LOW IN GLUCOSE LEVELS
