The fetus is affected by a pathologic restriction in its ability to grow. Low birth weight (LBW) means a baby with a birth weight of less than 2500Gms, which could be due to IUGR or Prematurity Classification Symmetric l A symmetrical baby's brain is abnormally large when compared to the liver . may occur when the fetus experiences a problem during later development the baby's head and body are proportionately small . may occur when the fetus experiences a problem during early development. In a normal infant, the brain weighs about three times more than the liver. In asymmetrical IUGR, the brain can weigh five or six times more than the liver. Etiology General- Racial / Ethnic origin, Small maternal / paternal height / weight, Fetal sex Maternal causes . Fetal causes. Placental causes. Idiopathic- In a majority of cases (40%) the cause is unknown– probably due to placental insufficiency. Maternal Risk Factors Has had a previous baby who suffered from IUGR. Extremes of age Is small in size (Ht & Wt) .

A-Laparatomy B- laparascopy C- D&C D-serum progesterone Ans:A Adenexal mass< MTX adenexal mass=3.5 cm > 3.5 cm -> laparascopy uncertain US + beta HCG increase less than 50% -> D&C unstable conditions->laparatomy 6-Which is wrong about EP? A-Relaxin value in EP is less than abortion B- there is no definite knowledge about CA 125 value in EP and abortion C- AFP+ beta HCG+ progesterone+ estradiol can help diagnosing of EP D-maternal creatin kinase is less in EP versus normal pregnancy Ans: D

Page 36: Obs Exam Questions

Creatin kinase and AFP are more in EP. 7-Which is wrong in detecting early EP? A-progesterone below 5-10 ng/mL contradicts normal pregnancy B-by vaginal sonography FHR can be detected in day 33 C-beta HCG level increase of 75 % after 48hrs is indicative of EP D-vaginal sonography + Doppler are 95% accurate in detecting EP Ans:C 8- which is a predisposing factor for ovarian EP? A-PID B-infertility history C-DES exposure D-present IUD Ans:D 9-Which can reduce the number of false positive diagnosis of EP?
