With the topics in simple alphabetical order, the layout made it easy to locate solutions to everyday clinical problems and to ensure that everyone in an office or hospital team worked consistently. Now enlarged, revised, and updated in a third THIRD EDITION CLINICAL PROTOCOLS in edition, the book retains and enhances the straightforward layout, flow charts, and OBSTETRICS CLINICAL PROTOCOLS in simple presentation of relevant statistics that made its previous editions an international bestseller and includes some further illustrations also. OBSTETRICS and This up-to-date and authoritative Ob/Gyn compilation should help anyone pass the ACOG written or Oral Board examinations and be invaluable for use as a quick- reference while practicing Obstetrics and Gynecology. GYNECOLOGY FROM REVIEWS OF PREVIOUS EDITIONS: A strong point of this edition is the wide range of topics that are covered. Not only and are all the subspecialties represented, but medically related topics, including primary care medicine, are also included. Fertility and Sterility GYNECOLOGY There is a lot of groundwork behind these seemingly simple rules… it certainly is a valuable contribution to this particular category of medical literature… It will be of use to specialists in hospitals and private practice, residents, students and the nursing staff.

Ltd., Chennai, India Printed and bound in India by Replika Press Pvt Ltd Contents Foreword vii Sidney L Sellers About the author viii Introduction ix Notice to readers x Obstetrics and gynecology A–Z 1 Appendix 411 List of abbreviations 427 v Foreword What a pleasure it would have been in ‘my day’ to have this type of book to utilize before taking the Boards. Also, there were many times during my practice when I needed a fast refresher on symptoms presented that were not commonplace for my practice. Regardless of the length or the volume of any one doctor’s practice, there are always questions that demand confi rmation on one’s memory of those details. This book can easily fulfi ll each of those needs. This is an excellent compilation of the up-to-date knowledge on almost any topic within Obstetrics and Gynecology. It could be used for studying for medical school exams and written and oral boards, for research on subjects that do not occur in a particular practice very often, and for a complete and very user-friendly resource for any Obstetric and Gynecology library. It would be particularly valuable within a residency program for rapid access to details of a certain diagnosis. The book is organized in a simple, yet in-depth way to fi nd the pertinent information desired – topic, subjects within that topic – symptoms, diagnosis, treatments – and then the details and statistics. Looking up a topic is as logical and easy as using a dictionary. During the time that John and I practiced together, he was well-trained in surgery and fully knowledgeable and enthusiastic about specifi cs and diagnostic details in the Obstetrics and Gynecologic fi eld, always researching the most up-to-date study results and protocols. He taught medical fi eld students at Dalton State College and did excellent, in-depth presentations for various pharmaceutical companies. His expertise in diagnosing, surgery, research and teaching provided an ideal basis for creating this excellent resource for Obstetrics and Gynecology students, residents and physicians. It is a pleasure watching John use these talents to benefi t others who follow in the fi eld.

Dr Turrentine is recognized worldwide for his previous books, Clinical Protocols in Obstetrics and Gynecology (The TAN Book) 1st and 2nd editions, Surgical Transcriptions in Obstetrics and Gynecology and Surgical Transcriptions and Pearls in Obstetrics and Gynecology. Dr Turrentine’s primary love is his family. His family includes a supportive wife, a son in medical school, another son in pre-law, a daughter studying for a horticultural degree, and another daughter still at home. His other interests include teaching history, ethics, philosophy, swimming, running, and hiking.

It is in simple alphabetical order so it is easy to fi nd solutions to everyday problems. Every effort was made to list the main topics on the left-hand side of the page. The “meat” of the matter or subject has been listed in the middle, including etiologies, symptoms, diagnoses, and treatment modes. To the far right, whenever possible, answers to percentages or minutia have been listed, so this book makes an excellent study guide. The same and sometimes improved fl ow charts and pictures are included that made the TAN book a best-selling medical textbook. These all make for a quick reference and study guide. If you know this book, you WILL pass your certifi cation exam. You will also practice excellent Ob/Gyn. ix Notice to readers Our knowledge in clinical sciences is constantly changing.

The mammary mass was solid and firm and measured 2×5cm2 in greatest diameter. The uterus revealed thick uterine horn and cross sectioned wall. Histopathologically, the mammary mass revealed feline mammary carcinoma. In the uterus, cystic endometrial hyperplasia was observed. Feline leukemia virus positive reaction was detected by polymerase chain reaction. As far as we know, this is the first report of the simultaneous feline mammary carcinoma and uterine endometrial cystic hyperplasia with Feline leukemia virus infection in a cat. Keywords: Feline leukemia virus, cats, feline mammary carcinoma, uterine hyperplasia Tumors in mammary glands have been reported mainly in older female cats above 10 to 12 years [15]. Cats with mam- mary tumors are usually dead less than 1 year after the diag- nosis, and the size of tumor mass is the most significant prognostic barometer [15]. Presentation of complex cystic endometrial hyperplasia- pyometra (CEH-P) is not very common in cats.

  • Med12 Gain-Of-Function Mutation Causes Leiomyomas and Genomic Instability
    Med12 gain-of-function mutation causes leiomyomas and genomic instability Priya Mittal, … , Urvashi Surti, Aleksandar Rajkovic J Clin Invest. 2015;125(8):3280-3284. https://doi.org/10.1172/JCI81534. Brief Report Genetics Uterine leiomyomas are benign tumors that can cause pain, bleeding, and infertility in some women. Mediator complex subunit 12 (MED12) exon 2 variants are associated with uterine leiomyomas; however, the causality ofM ED12 variants, their genetic mode of action, and their role in genomic instability have not been established. Here, we generated a mouse model that conditionally expresses a Med12 missense variant (c.131G>A) in the uterus and demonstrated that this alteration alone promotes uterine leiomyoma formation and hyperplasia in both WT mice and animals harboring a uterine mesenchymal cell–specific Med12 deletion. Compared with WT animals, expression of Med12 c.131G>A in conditional Med12–KO mice resulted in earlier onset of leiomyoma lesions that were also greater in size. Moreover, leiomyomatous, Med12 c.131G>A variant–expressing uteri developed chromosomal rearrangements. Together, our results show that the common human leiomyoma–associated MED12 variant can cause leiomyomas in mice via a gain of function that drives genomic instability, which is frequently observed in human leiomyomas.

  • Dysfunctional Uterine Bleeding (DUB)
    Dysfunctional Uterine Bleeding (DUB) What is Dysfunctional Uterine Bleeding (DUB) Dysfunctional uterine bleeding (DUB) is abnormal bleeding from the uterus that is not due to pregnancy or other recognizable pathology in the women’s uterus, pelvic or systemic disease. It is a functional problem of the uterus largely due to hormonal imbalance and not related to structural or anatomical problem. It is commonly present as heavy menstrual bleeding (menorrhagia). However, the doctor can only derive to a diagnosis of DUB after all other causes for abnormal and heavy menstrual bleeding in a patient have been investigated and excluded. Who gets DUB and why is it important to know Almost every woman is at risk of experience DUB in their lifetime. Dysfunctional uterine bleeding occurs most often in adolescent and in women after 40 and close to menopausal age. Studies showed that nearly 80% of heavy menstruation (i.e. menstrual blood loss >80 mls per month) is caused by DUB. Heavy menstrual bleeding may affect a woman’s health both medically and socially causing problem such as iron deficiency anaemia and social phobia or discomfort respectively. Dysfunctional uterine bleeding is the commonest cause of iron deficiency anaemia in women in the developed world and of chronic illness in developing world. It also affects productivity as almost 10 % of women absent from work due to heavy menstrual bleeding. For adolescent, heavy menstrual bleeding resulting in anaemia affects their school performance as they often feel lethargic and unable to participate in school activities too. What are other causes of abnormal menstrual bleeding? Other than DUB, the functional problem that often responsible for heavy or abnormal menstruation, there are many structural and systemic cause that need to be investigated and excluded first before DUB can be diagnosed.

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVE: Saline hysterosonography is a simple and cost-effective method with high sensitivity to detect uterine abnormalities causing postmenopausal bleeding. The objective of this study was to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of saline hysterosonography in detecting endometrial hyperplasia in women with postmenopausal bleeding by taking histopathology as a gold standard. METHODOLOGY: A hundred and twenty (120) cases were enrolled from the outpatient and inpatient department of obstetrics and gynecology. Proper history and relevant examination of the patient was done. Then preparations were made for the procedure. The patient was counseled and the technique explained to her. Then Foley catheter no 12 was passed in cervix and sonography was done while instilling normal saline through a cervical catheter and scan pictures were frozen and results were given by expert gynecologist of Allied Hospital, Faisalabad. Histopathology specimen was sent to the pathology lab. RESULTS: Sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value, and diagnostic accuracy of saline hysterosonography in detecting endometrial hyperplasia was recorded as 96.15%,91,49%,75.76%,98.85%, and 92.5% respectively. CONCLUSION: Saline hysterosonography has high sensitivity to detect uterine hyperplasia. It can be used as a cost effective alternative to hysteroscopy in many units in Pakistan.
