A Quick Review Of

Clinical Embryology(Ch 1-7) (KLM)

Trisomy:
Person with 47 chromosomes

Monosomy:
Person with 45 chromosomes

Dictyate/Dictyotene Phase:
The long pause of prophase in oogenesis till ovulation.It increases risk of environmental factors to change genome

Mittelschermz:
Abdominal pain at the time of ovulation, accompanied with slight bleeding

Anovulation:
No ovulation due to inadequate gonadotropins

Vasectomy:
Incision of fragment of ductus deferens to cause contraception in males

Dispermy:
Two sperms fertilize one egg

Cyropreservation:
Preservation of gametes in glycerol

IVF:
In vitro fertilization, a technique used to fertilize egg outside the body

ICSI:
Intra Cytoplasmic Sperm Injection, a technique in which sperm is injected into cytoplasm of oocyte.

AIVF
Assisted In-Vivo Fertilization, in which fertilization is artificially produced inside female body

GIFT:
Gamete Intra-Fallopian Transfer, in which Gametes are placed in fallopian tube and there fertilization takes place

ZIFT:
Zygote Intra-Fallopian Transfer, in which zygote is placed inside fallopian tube

Hysterectomy:
Removal of uterus

Mosaicism:
Numerical mosaic in chromosomes causing syndromes

Tubal Pregnancy:
Zygote is implanted inside the fallopian tube

Abdominal Pregnancy:
Zygote is implanted on posterior surface of uterus in peritoneal cavity

Lithopedian / Stone Fetus:

In Abdominal Pregnancy, the conceptus dies and calcified into stone

Sacrococcygeal Teratoma:
A tumor that is produces by remnants of primitive cord

Chordomas:
Tumor produces due to notochord remnants

NTds:
Neural tube Defects, Defects due to abnormal growth of neural tube, most commonly anencephaly , meroencephaly,spina bifida

Anencephaly:
Absence of brain, but there is remnant of brain present.

Meroencephaly:
Partial absence of Brain

Hydatidiform Moles:
Aggregation and cyst formation of Trophoblasts viable zygote. due to absence of normal /

Spotting:
Slight Uterine Bleeding during implantation of blastocyst, can be misinterpreted as menses

Oligomennorhea:
Scanty Menstruation

Postmaturity Syndrome:
The persistent of pregnancy more than three week of expected date of delivery

Amniocentesis:
Taking sample of amniotic fluid from amniotic cavity during 15-18 wk

AFP:
Examination of alpha feto protein produced by fetus, excess indicates NTD, low indicate Down's syndrome

CVS:
Chorionic villus sampling, taking biopsy from chorionic villi to check genome during 10-12 wk

PUBS/ Chordocentesis:
Percutaneous umbilical blood sampling, taking a sample of blood from umbilical vein for diagnosis

Placenta Membranacea:
Presence of chorion villi all over the chorion and a extra slip of placenta attached to endometrium

Gestational Choriocarcinoma:
Metastasis of trophoblast into uterus

Placenta Accreta:
Reaching of chorionic villi to myometrium.

Placenta Percreta:
Reaching of chorionic villi to perimetrium , crossing the myometrium

Placenta Previa:
Implantation of embryo on infero-posterior wall of uterus near internal os.

Battledore Placenta:
Attachment of umbilical cord at margins of placenta

Velamentous Insertion:
Attachment of umbilical cord to fetal membranes

Oligohydramnios:
Less amniotic fluid than normal value due to renal agenesis

Polyhydramnios:
Excess amniotic fluid present

ABS:
Amniotic Band syndrome rupture of amnion leading to less amniotic fluid and band formation around fetus

Ileal Diverticulum/Meckel Diverticulum:

In rare cases , the remnant of omphaloenteric duct inside the body.

Erythrocyte Mosaicism:
Mixing of erythrocytes of twins

Twin Transfusion Syndrome:

Shunting of blood form one twin to other, one being weaker and anemic, other having polycythemia. Send "MedCom" (without inverted commas) to 9900 and receive all first year stuff FREE on ur mobile via sms daily... Prepared By: Muhammad Kamran CEO @ Med-Com For More Study Stuff....
