Study Notes
Pathology of Pregnancy and Skin Disorders
- Infertility associated with ovum, sperm, genital organ, and systemic factors
- Ectopic pregnancy occurs when fertilized ovum implants outside the uterine cavity, often in the fallopian tube
- Placenta arises from trophoblast cells of morula, providing nutrients and waste removal for the fetus
- Placental anomalies include placenta accreta and placenta previa, which can lead to postpartum hemorrhage and premature delivery
- Abortion is the interruption of pregnancy before fetal viability, usually requiring surgical treatment
- Grading of burns based on the depth of injury, ranging from superficial to full-thickness burns
- Immune skin disorders such as eczema and urticaria are characterized by allergic reactions and chronic inflammation
- Seborrheic dermatitis is a chronic skin condition that varies in severity and can affect infants as "cradle cap"
- Psoriasis is a common skin disorder characterized by papules and patches covered by scales
- The female reproductive system includes the structure and function of the normal breast
- Mastitis, fibrocystic change, and gynecomastia are breast disorders with distinct characteristics and implications
- Benign and malignant breast neoplasms are important considerations in breast health and pathology.
Female Reproductive System and Diseases Summary
- The female reproductive system consists of different structures with specific histological characteristics, such as stratified squamous mucosa, glandular epithelium, and germ cells.
- Developmental abnormalities of the female reproductive system include rare conditions like agenesis of the vagina and uterus, as well as anomalies of the uterus.
- Disorders of sexual development (DSD) can result in infants born with genitals that do not align with typical male or female appearances and may include hermaphroditism, with different genotypic and phenotypic expressions.
- Learning objectives for the female reproductive system include understanding its structure and function, developmental and infectious diseases, endometriosis, neoplasms, and diseases associated with pregnancy.
- Infectious diseases of the female reproductive system can be classified by pathogenetic and anatomic criteria, with conditions such as pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) resulting from sexually transmitted diseases like Chlamydia, gonorrhea, and syphilis.
- Genital herpes, caused by the Herpes Simplex Virus 2, can be asymptomatic or present with vesicles and has no cure, potentially impacting childbirth decisions if active lesions are present.
- Human papilloma virus (HPV) can lead to labial, vaginal, and cervical warts, with certain types associated with carcinoma, while Chlamydia is the most common bacterial STD affecting both men and women.
- Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) can lead to complications such as infertility, ectopic pregnancy, and spread of infection, often caused by ascending infections of STDs like Neisseria and Chlamydia.
- Vaginitis, characterized by inflammation of the vagina, can be caused by bacterial vaginosis, candidiasis, or Trichomonas, and less commonly by non-infectious factors like atrophic vaginitis or foreign bodies.
- The text focuses on objectives related to understanding the female reproductive system, developmental and infectious diseases, endometriosis, neoplasms, and diseases associated with pregnancy.
- It provides detailed information about infectious diseases such as genital herpes, HPV, Chlamydia, gonorrhea, and syphilis, and their potential complications like PID and infertility.
- The text also covers the causes and classifications of vaginitis, emphasizing the infectious and non-infectious factors that contribute to inflammation of the vagina.
