Copper IUD mode of action: sperm motility microthrombi MRI: ionising radiation? no adverse effect on fetus? detect fetal cardiac abn? USG: probe: array of magnets? doppler to detect fetal heart movement? facial hair increased by: oestrogen? testerone? spirolactone? characterics: pass thro' origin? slope = 0? pass thro the mean? unaffected by changing scale? unaffected by changing dependent variable? Copper containing IUDs: F should be changed every year F have a high incidence of actinomycoces colonization than plastic devices T Cause a relative increased in ectopic pregnancy T have been implicated as a cause of fatal infection in pregnancies F do not cause menorrhagia Comments: Inert devices can be left in place until the menopause, but copper devices need renewal every 3-5 years, depending on the make, because of the gradual absorption of copper. Copper IUCDs produce local

concentrations of copper salts which apparently give some protection against bacterial contamination. Pelvic infection with actinomyces organisms is most likely with a plastic device that has been in situ for some years. While the rate of intrauterine pregnancy is reduced, that of ectopics is not. Hence, there is a relative increase in ectopic pregnancy after IUCD insertion. If an IUCD is left in place there is a slight risk of intrauterine infection, preterm labour and antepartum haemorrhage, but most pregnancies are uncomplicated and the device is delivered with the placenta. Increased menstrual loss may be caused by increased fibrinolytic activity which occurs round the IUCD. The progestogen intrauterine system (IUS) reduces menstrual flow and often dysmenorrhoea. Which of the following is/are true concerning MRI? A It involves ionizing radiation (False) B Has no recognised side effects on the foetus (True) C The pregnant mother should be turned to her left side during scanning (True) D Tissue with high hydrogen concentrations are difficult to distinguish False) E Blood vessels appear white on scanning (False) Comments: Water is a molecule composed of hydrogen and oxygen atoms. The nuclei of the hydrogen atoms are able to act as microscopic compass needles. When the body is exposed to a strong magnetic field, the nuclei of the hydrogen atoms are directed into order - stand "to attention". When submitted to pulses of radio waves, the energy content of the nuclei changes. After the pulse, a resonance wave is emitted when the nuclei return to their previous state. The small differences in the oscillations of the nuclei are detected. By advanced computer processing, it is possible to build up a three-dimensional image that reflects the chemical structure of the tissue, including differences in the water content and in movements of the water molecules. This results in a very detailed image of tissues and organs in the investigated area of the body. In this manner, pathological changes can be documented.[/color:febed2ebf4][/b:febed2ebf4]--------------------------------------------------------------------Many stats about sensitivity, positive predictive value, accuracy, even the linear regression Acute UTI in pregnancy

How To Prepare For the folic acid plasma test, do not eat or drink (other than water) for 8 to 10 hours before the test. If you take any medicines regularly, your doctor will talk to you about how to take these before the test. You do not need to do anything before having a folic acid red blood cell test Results A folic acid test measures the amount of folic acid in the blood. Normal values vary from lab to lab. Folate in liquid portion (plasma) of blood

Adult 220 nanograms per milliliter (ng/mL) 445 nanomoles per liter (nmol/L) (SI units) Children 521 ng/mL 1147 nmol/L

Folate in red blood cells Adult 140628 ng/mL 3171422 nmol/L (SI units) Children More than 160 ng/mL More than 362 nmol/L High values High levels of folic acid in the blood may mean that you eat a diet rich in folic acid, take vitamins, or take folic acid pills. Consuming more folic acid than the body needs does not cause problems. High folic acid levels can also mean a vitamin B12 deficiency. Body cells need vitamin B12 to use folic acid. Therefore, if vitamin B12 levels are very low, folic acid cannot be used by the cells, and high levels of it may build up in the blood. However, a folic acid test is not a reliable way to test for a vitamin B12 deficiency. Low values Low folic acid levels can mean you have a problem with your diet, alcohol dependence, or an eating disorder such as anorexia nervosa.

Copper IUD mode of action: sperm motility microthrombi MRI: ionising radiation? no adverse effect on fetus? detect fetal cardiac abn? USG: probe: array of magnets? doppler to detect fetal heart movement? facial hair increased by: oestrogen? testerone? spirolactone? characterics: pass thro' origin? slope = 0? pass thro the mean? unaffected by changing scale? unaffected by changing dependent variable? Copper containing IUDs: F should be changed every year F have a high incidence of actinomycoces colonization than plastic devices T Cause a relative increased in ectopic pregnancy T have been implicated as a cause of fatal infection in pregnancies F do not cause menorrhagia Comments: Inert devices can be left in place until the menopause, but copper devices need renewal every 3-5 years, depending on the make, because of the gradual absorption of copper. Copper IUCDs produce local

concentrations of copper salts which apparently give some protection against bacterial contamination. Pelvic infection with actinomyces organisms is most likely with a plastic device that has been in situ for some years. While the rate of intrauterine pregnancy is reduced, that of ectopics is not. Hence, there is a relative increase in ectopic pregnancy after IUCD insertion. If an IUCD is left in place there is a slight risk of intrauterine infection, preterm labour and antepartum haemorrhage, but most pregnancies are uncomplicated and the device is delivered with the placenta. Increased menstrual loss may be caused by increased fibrinolytic activity which occurs round the IUCD. The progestogen intrauterine system (IUS) reduces menstrual flow and often dysmenorrhoea. Which of the following is/are true concerning MRI? A It involves ionizing radiation (False) B Has no recognised side effects on the foetus (True) C The pregnant mother should be turned to her left side during scanning (True) D Tissue with high hydrogen concentrations are difficult to distinguish False) E Blood vessels appear white on scanning (False) Comments: Water is a molecule composed of hydrogen and oxygen atoms. The nuclei of the hydrogen atoms are able to act as microscopic compass needles. When the body is exposed to a strong magnetic field, the nuclei of the hydrogen atoms are directed into order - stand "to attention". When submitted to pulses of radio waves, the energy content of the nuclei changes. After the pulse, a resonance wave is emitted when the nuclei return to their previous state. The small differences in the oscillations of the nuclei are detected. By advanced computer processing, it is possible to build up a three-dimensional image that reflects the chemical structure of the tissue, including differences in the water content and in movements of the water molecules. This results in a very detailed image of tissues and organs in the investigated area of the body. In this manner, pathological changes can be documented.[/color:febed2ebf4][/b:febed2ebf4]--------------------------------------------------------------------Many stats about sensitivity, positive predictive value, accuracy, even the linear regression Acute UTI in pregnancy
