Atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance (ASC-US) can be managed
in 2 ways. What are they
The first option is to repeat cytology in one year and perform colposcopy if follow-
up smears are abnormal.
The second option (preferred) is to perform an HPV test and return for testing in 3
years if it is negative or perform colposcopy if HPV test is positive

TESTBANK GUARANTEED PASS

Atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance (ASC-US) can be managed in 2 ways. What are they

The first option is to repeat cytology in one year and perform colposcopy if follow- up smears are abnormal.

The second option (preferred) is to perform an HPV test and return for testing in 3 years if it is negative or perform colposcopy if HPV test is positive

If pt has positive hpv test and colposcopy is negative then whats the next step

pt will need repeat HPV test in 3 yrs.

the most common cause of a protraction disorder is

inadequate uterine activity.

is the position in which the fetal biparietal diameter fits best in the average female pelvis.

right occiput anterior

Some examples of malpresentation are

an extended fetal head, brow or face presentation, and occiput posterior.

Neuroleptic malignant syndrome (NMS)

a life threatening neurological emergency. As indicated by the name, it is most commonly associated with neuroleptic medications such as haloperidol, chlorpromazine, risperidone, etc. Symptoms include extreme muscular rigidity, mental status changes, hyperthermia, tachycardia, tachypnea, and profuse diaphoresis

Although malignant hyperthermia has a very similar clinical presentation to NMS, it is more common in the setting of

inhaled halogen anesthetic use, such as halothane.

difference between serotonin syndrome vs neurlopetic and malignant hyperthermia

serotonin syndrome doesn't present with fever

_____is the first line treatment for hyperthyroidism in pregnancy during the first trimester. ______ is used after the first trimester.

Dx criteria for hyperemesis gravidarum

Hyperemesis gravidarum is based on the presence of nausea and vomiting, plus loss of > 5% of patient's prepregnancy weight, dehydration and electrolyte imbalance

The first step in the management of pyloric stenosis is

fluid resuscitation and correction of electrolyte abnormalities.

Methotrexate (Rheumatrex)

laprascopy if unstable

Patients who are stable with no hepatic or renal impairment who will be able to follow-up can be offered ______for treatment of an ectopic pregnancy.

MOST ANSWERS ARE BEFORE THE QUESTIONS FROM THIS POINT

active ischemia (incl transient st elevation seen in prinzmetal), cardiac failure, or hemodynamically compromising valvular insufficiency.

3 contraindications to stress testing

Coronary angiography demonstrating transient coronary spasm

the diagnostic hallmark of Prinzmetal variant angina

Anion gap metabolic acidosis

acute renal failure from od of methanol will demonstrate what kind of acid base disturbance

opioids (incl morphine)

Yawning and piloerection (goosebumps) are very specific for what kind of withdrawal

cocaine

Patients going through _____withdrawal will have symptoms very similar to major depressive disorder including increased sleep, appetite, psychomotor slowing, severe depression and suicidal ideation.

HBeAb

is an antibody to the "e" antigen and, when positive in the system, indicates low transmissibility of the virus.

HBsAb

This antibody signifies immunity to the hepatitis B virus

Pts. receiving receiving Warfarin will have extrisinc pathway affected - i.e. increased PT

Normal PT

Increased PTT

Normal Bleeding Time

Normal Platelet Count

Von Willbrand Disease (VWD) (Autosomal Dominant)

MC inherited bleeding disorder and is transmitted as AD trait. Affects platelet binding and is also a carrier protein for factor VIII (intrinsinc, PTT)

Normal PT

Increased PTT Increased Bleeding Time

Normal Platelet Count

DIC

Increased PT

Increased PTT

Increased Bleeding Time

Low Platelet Count

BMP and UA (least costly and invasive and most readily available)

In pts with suspected BPH and urinary retention what 2 dx tests would be most important order first

Renal US - to eval for hydronephrosis and bladder outlet obstruction

Any pt with BPH and renal insufficiency (elevated Cr) should have a ____ performed

it's only effective if given within hours after being bitten

anaphylaxis and serum sickness so it is reserved for severe cases

When is antivenin indicated

What are 2 feared complications

opthlamic flq. make sure to tx both eyes

tx for bacterial conjunctivitis

uterine rupture risk factors (5)

  1. previous rupture
  2. previous uterine surgery (esp transfundal)
  3. use of prostaglandins or oxytocin
  4. short inter-pregnancy interval
  5. hydatidiform mole (a type of gestational trophoblastic disease)

vasa previa (definition)

a condition in which the fetal vessels course through the membranes, over the cervical os and insert into the placenta close to the os.

bedside abdominal US to confirm that the placenta is overlyling the cervical os

Do this before jumping to c-section immediately

Confirm dx of suspected placenta previa with

Expectant mgmt if the pt remains stable and her bleeding subsides.

If hemorrhage worsens or persists or there are signs of fetal distress, immediate C- section is warranted

  3. lab findings
  4. 2 findings on blood smear
  5. demo

  4. Hairy cell leukemia (<2% of adult leukemia cases)
  5. elderly males
  1. diagnosed based on history, physical exam and labs but the diagnosis is confirmed through the identification of hairy cells in the blood, blood marrow or spleen. TRAP (tartrate resistant acid phosphatase) stain and flow cytometry are helpful in distinguishing the pathognomonic hairy cells.
  2. malignant disorder of well differentiated B lymphocytes
  3. On physical exam, 80-90% of patients have an enlarged spleen, which can be massive. less likely among patients who are diagnosed at an early stage.
  4. notably, most of these patients have a dry tap due to marrow fibrosis on bone marrow biopsy unlike CML
  5. Cladribine (2CDA) and pentostatin (DCF) are the two most common first-line therapies. They both belong to a class of medications called purine analogs
  6. what is it
  7. demographic
  8. dx
  9. what type of malignancy
  10. PE finding

treatment for Burkitt's lymphoma

  1. radiation exposure
  2. bcr-abl t(9;22) translocation which forms the classic Philadelphia chromosome
  3. constitutional sx - fatigue, weight loss, night sweats, fever, splenomegaly
  4. blast crisis - can lead to death. enlarged spleen and low-grade fevers as well as signs of disrupted bone marrow function (anemia and thrombocytopenia)
