Early GDM RX New Data: 👎😕🙁😔

Dr. Chapa’s OBGYN Clinical Pearls ·

2023/07/09

Gestational diabetes (GDM) is a risk factor for adverse perinatal outcomes. Currently, the ACOG recommends early screening for GDM for women “at risk”. However, other experts disagree with this approach. On October 6, 2022 we released a podcast episode called “Early GDM Screening: Evidence-based?”. In that episode we covered the controversy regarding early GDM screening, in other words- screening under 24 weeks. We have been following this story and debate for over 2 years now; we first released the

Well, Well, Well, this is very interesting. Back in May 10, 2023, we released an episode on "OSA (Obstructive Sleep Apnea) in Pregnancy: Time to Screen?". In that episode, we summarized the impressive data on OSA in pregnancy and its association with some adverse perinatal sequelae. Spring forward to July 6, 2023, the ACOG has now released a brand new Consensus Statement on OSA in pregnancy. This statement is a joint guideline from the Society of Anesthesia and Sleep Medicine and the Society for

The headline from CNN Health form June 28, 2023 reads, "HRT use by younger women linked to dementia, study says". That is FRIGHTENING to any patient using hormone therapy for menopausal symptoms. Does HT cause dementia? Or is HT a "easy suspect"? The question of HT and cognitive function has been a subject of controversy for many years. In this episode we will summarize the NAMS position statement on HT for cognitive issues (2022) as well as summarize this new June 2023 publication from BMJ causing

The “Antiquated” Apgar Score

Dr. Chapa’s OBGYN Clinical Pearls ·

2023/07/03

First published in 1952, the Apgar Score has remained unchanged over 70 years and is entrenched in current OB/Pediatric/Neonatal care. The ACOG highlighted the Apgar Score in 2015 in CO 644. In that release, the ACOG reminds us that although it provides an accepted and convenient method for reporting the status of the newborn infant immediately after birth and the response to resuscitation if needed, it has important limitations: A. The healthy preterm infant with no evidence of asphyxia may receive

Placental Lakes on Sono: Implications?

Dr. Chapa’s OBGYN Clinical Pearls ·

2023/06/29

This episode subject was requested by Emily, one of our podcast family members. She has noticed the reporting of “large placental, venous lakes” on antepartum ultrasound. Placental lakes are enlarged spaces in the placenta filled with maternal blood. These spaces are also called intervillous spaces because they are found between the placental villi the finger-like projections of the placenta that contain fetal blood vessels . The placental villi float in the intervillous spaces and absorb oxygen and

Genetic Screen or E-phoresis For Hemoglobinopathy? Is...

Dr. Chapa’s OBGYN Clinical Pearls ·

2023/06/28

We recently had a patient in our OB high-risk community clinic whose maternal carrier screen result was either late or lost. Thinking the test may be lost, another resident ordered hemoglobin electrophoresis. The electrophoresis was NEGATIVE (that is, no abnormal hemoglobin was found at detectable levels)…by the way, good for that resident! After calling the lab for the genetic screen and not getting a clear answer from that location, they had the self- initiative in ordering a back-up test. AND

Can GBS Cause Vaginitis? New Data on Aerobic Vaginitis.

Dr. Chapa’s OBGYN Clinical Pearls ·

2023/06/27

Desquamative inﬂammatory vaginitis (DIV) made its debut in the medical literature in 1965, by the hands of Gray and Barnes. In that paper, they presented their ﬁndings on 478 women complaining of vaginal discharge. Then, in 2002, Donders et al. described a new entity, referred to as aerobic vaginitis (AV). This term emphasized the clear contrast with the far more common and acknowledged form of dysbiosis: bacterial vaginosis (BV). These 2 clinical conditions are now thought to exist on a clinical

Circumvallate Placenta: Maleficent or Meh?

Dr. Chapa’s OBGYN Clinical Pearls ·

2023/06/23

The word placenta, first used in a 1638 anatomy textbook, was borrowed from the New Latin phrase placenta uterina, meaning "uterine cake", because the circular, flat shape of the organ was thought to resemble a traditional Roman flat cake. Circumvallate is another Latin derived term meaning the "encircled placenta, by a rampart". Circumvallate placentas are a form of extrachorial placenta where the basal plate extends past the margins of the chorion plate resulting in the chorion and amnion folding

Syphilis' Vertical Transmission (Congenital Syphilis)

2023/06/21

Over the past decade, there’s been about a 700% increase in the cases of congenital syphilis in the United States. That’s 700%! Rates of congenital syphilis, meaning the number of cases for every 100,000 live births, are highest in the South and Southwest, in states such as Arizona, New Mexico, Louisiana, Mississippi and Texas. Individual states have seen increases that are even more astounding. From 2016 to 2021, cases shot up 3,300% in Mississippi, nearly 3,000% in Oklahoma, more than 2,200% in

IUD(S) Insert with BV? IUD(S) Pearls.

LARCS provide remarkable contraception. The IUD and the IUS are both HIGHLY effective, although they do not have the same typical-use failure rates. While it is common knowledge that active mucopurulent cervicitis is a contraindication for IUD/IUS placement, what about the presence of bacterial vaginosis (BV)? BV has been identified for years as an independent risk factor for Pelvic Inflammatory Disease. Is placement of an IUD/IUS in a patient with current BV contraindicated? What do the guidelines

Bacteria Causes Endometriosis? Surprising New Data...

Dr. Chapa’s OBGYN Clinical Pearls ·

2023/06/15

Endometriosis is caused by endometrial-like tissue containing endometrial glands and extensive fibrotic tissue growing outside the endometrial cavity, most often in the pelvic peritoneum or ovaries, resulting in chronic pelvic pain and infertility. It is reported to affect 10 to 15% of women of reproductive age, with an unknown percentage of women who go on undiagnosed or misdiagnosed. For decades, Sampson's Theory has survived as the most "likely" to explain the pathogenesis of endometriosis. But

The world of "Hypertension (HTN) in Pregnancy" is an ever-evolving environment! Many clinicians have adopted patients' home monitoring of blood pressure (BP) in their management of hypertensive disorders in pregnancy. Do you recommend home BP monitoring in your OB patients? On May 4, 2022 we summarized the results of 2 RCTs examining whether home BP monitoring during antepartum care prevents HTN morbidity and mortality. These were BUMP1 and BUMP2 (JAMA).

The Pill Causes Depression? New June 2023 Data

Does the combination birth control pill cause depression? This has been a controversial subject for over 2 decades. While some observational studies have described a possible association, randomized clinical trials have shown little to no connection. On June 12, 2023, a new population-based cohort study from the UK sought to evaluate this possible association. This resulted in some interesting claims! These results, just within 24 hours, have now made their way to major news outlets and social media

Do you know what the 3 comorbidities are which may follow a diagnosis of ICP? We’ll cover that here.

I couldn’t find a specific PB or CO on the topic, so I wanted to reach out.” Honestly, I hadn’t even thought of this topic…and it is a good one! We do see patients with these

It has long been considered that iron deficiency does not exist in Thalassemia syndromes, including Thalassemia major as well as Trait (Thal minor). But that is incorrect. Recent studies have shown the occurrence of iron deficiency in patients with Beta-Thalassemia Trait. Iron deficiency anemia (IDA) during pregnancy has been associated with an increased risk of low birth weight, preterm delivery, and perinatal mortality and should be treated with iron supplementation in addition to prenatal

When performing cervical examinations during labor, providers in the United States commonly use sterile gloves, even when there is no rupture of membranes. Is this an evidence-based practice or is it simply tradition? This debate has been going on for decades. In this episode, we will highlight some interesting/intriguing hospital policies and procedures, and walk-down our history timeline of data.
