Reproductive Flashcards
(221 cards)
Boy is found to have rudimentary uterus and mass in inguinal canal on ultrasound. Biopsy of mass shows seminiferous tubules.
- Diagnosis?
- Pathophys?
- Persistent Mullerian Duct Syndrome
- Autosomal recessive congenital disorder causing Inadequate MIF from Sertoli cells that leads to lack of mullerian duct regression and a uterus develops. Testes did not descend.
Mullerian Duct -> fallopian, uterus, vagina
Boy with delayed development, short stature, hypotonia (poor suckling), obesity, small hands and feet, and hypogonadism.
- Diagnosis?
- Pathophys?
- Prader willi
2. 15q12 deletion of paternal chromosomes (maternal imprint)
Vessels in the suspensory ligament?
ovarian
Vessels in the cardinal ligament?
uterine
Pregnant patient 32 weeks presents with significant smoking history, sudden onset ab pain, dark red vaginal bleeding, fetal tachycardia, and tender uterus with contractions.
- Diagnosis?
- Pathophys?
- Abruptio Placentae
- premature separation of placenta from uterine wall during 3rd trimester that may result in fetal death and DIC
Risks: HTN, smoking, trauma, cocaine
Patient lacks sense of smell, has been trying to get pregnant for 1 year unsuccessfully, history of multiple recent upper RTIs, and apex of heart felt in 5th right ICS.
- Diagnosis?
- Pathophys?
- Kartagner’s
- defect in dynein that affects heavy chains of cilia causing decreased fallopian tube function and ectopic pregnancy. In men, it causes azoospermia. Situs inversus is associated with it.
Woman with hirsutism, weight gain, dark skin under axilla, irregular menstrual cycles, and infertility. Elevated LH.
- Diagnosis?
- Pathophys?
- Treatment?
- Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS)
- insulin resistance leading to hyperinsulinemia alter feedback mechanism to increase LH:FSH causing unruptured follicles and anovulation
- Weight reduction and OCP to decrease estrogen. OCPs up regulate sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG) which reduces unbound testosterone.
Clomiphene for pregnancy
Flutamide for hirsutism
Role of Dihydrotestosterone?
differentiation of penis, scrotum, prostate
Genital tubercle -> Glans Penis
Labioscrotal swelling -> scrotum
Urogenital sinus -> prostate
Capitation insurance?
routine services for a fixed cost
Man cannot conceive with low Androgen binding protein (ABP), low testosterone, and elevated FSH.
- Diagnosis?
- Pathophys?
- Sertoli cell defect
- ABP is synthesized by sertoli cells to maintain local testosterone for spermatogenesis. Lack of ABP causes pituitary to increase FSH to increase testosterone and ABP. Inhibit B from sertoli cells also have feedback inhibition on pituitary.
Drug A exerts effect at lower dose but Drug B causes more decrease in pain response.
Potency vs Efficacy?
Drug A= potent
Drug B= efficacy
Pregnant woman without history of HTN presents with HTN after week 25, proteinuria, blurry vision, and altered mental status.
- Diagnosis?
- Pathophys?
- Complications?
- Treatment?
- Preeclampsia
- abnormal placental spiral arteries cause endothelial dysfunction, vasoconstriction, and ischemia
- DIC confirmed by D-dimers
Acute fatty liver
ATN
HELLP (hemolysis, elevate liver enzymes, low platelets)
- Labetalol (Anti-HTN)
IV magnesium sulfate for seizures
-continually check deep tendon reflexes for magnesium toxicity, coma will follow.
Delivery after 37 weeks
Routine 16th week checkup shows increased alpha fetoprotein.
- Diagnosis?
- Pathophys?
- Open Neural tube defect
- defective primary neurulation from folate deficiency, radiation, valproic acid, methotrexate, malnutrition, or genetics
Beta-HCG?
- secreted from syncytiotrophoblasts after fertilization
- has identical alpha subunit to TSH, LH, and FSH
- pregnancy test marker
What hormone allows doctor to tell an expecting mother the sex of the baby at 15 weeks?
Dihydrotestosterone
- produced from testosterone by 5a-reductase
- forms male external genitalia
After AVM surgery on middle meningeal artery, patient cannot hear low pitched sounds.
Diagnosis?
Tensor tympani muscle supplied by Trigeminal Nerve V3 which exits foramen ovale and travels close to the artery
-Stapedius supplied facial nerve causes increased sensitivity to sounds
Mother has a history of diabetes and small uterus. Infant presents with hypo plastic lungs, flat face, and clubbed feet.
- Diagnosis?
- Pathophys?
- Potter syndrome
2. pregestational diabetes and B/L renal agenesis cause oligohydramnios which lead to hypo plastic lungs.
Patient with painful penile ulcer that bleeds and inguinal lymphadenopathy with purulent discharge.
- Diagnosis?
- Pathophys?
- Treatment?
- Chancroid
- Haemophilus ducreyi (gram- coccobacillus) is a STD that causes painful genital ulcers
- if painless: Treponema pallidum (syphilis), gram negative spirochete - Azithromycin
Ceftriaxone
Ciprofloxacin
7 year old boy with body odor from axilla and genital pubic hair.
- Diagnosis?
- Pathophys?
- Precocious puberty
- appearance of secondary sex characteristics before age 9 due to increased sex hormones
- central: increased GnRH (idiopathic, CNS tumors)
- peripheral: increased hormone production or exogenous exposure
Patient giving birth suffered perineal tear and later experienced fecal incontinence.
Diagnosis?
External anal sphincter tear
Child born with cliteromegaly has been raised a girl. She is reaching puberty and is experiencing increased body mass, deep voice, growth of penis, and lack of menstruation. Normal levels of testosterone, estrogen, and LH. Genotyping shows XY.
- Diagnosis?
- Pathophys?
- 5a Reductase deficiency
- 5a Reductase converts testosterone to DHT which differentiates penis, scrotum, and prostate. Male internal genitalia but not external until puberty when testosterone increases.
Girl found with bilateral undescended testes, and no uterus. Testosterone, estrogen, and LH are high.
- Diagnosis?
- Pathophys?
- Androgen sensitivity syndrome
- Androgen receptor defect results in normal appearing female that is XY. Testes develop due to SRY gene and produce testosterone that inhibits mullerian ducts and uterus formation. Male genitalia doesn’t form due to defect in receptor. Testes are removed to prevent malignancy.
Pregnant woman presents with deeper voice. Infant born with ambiguous genitalia, increased testosterone and androstenedione.
- Diagnosis?
- Pathophys?
- Placental aromatase deficiency
2. aromatase synthesizes estrogens from androgens. Female infant becomes masculinized. Fetal androgens cross placenta.
Girl that hasn’t experienced puberty has no smell and no secondary sex characteristics at age 16. Decreased GnRH, FSH, LH and testosterone.
- Diagnosis?
- Pathophys?
- Kallman Syndrome
- defective migration of GnRH and failure of olfactory bulbs.
Hypogonadotropic hypogonadism
