Comparing Rates Of Macrosomia And Neonatal Hypoglycemia Of Differing Treatment Modalities Of Gestational Diabetes Mellitus, Ashleigh Milbrath
Comparing Rates Of Macrosomia And Neonatal Hypoglycemia Of Differing Treatment Modalities Of Gestational Diabetes Mellitus, Ashleigh Milbrath
Physician Assistant Scholarly Project Papers
Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is a known potential complication that can occur during pregnancy. Unmanaged GDM can result in maternal hyperglycemia, which can cause increased neonatal complications, two of which are macrosomia and neonatal hypoglycemia. To prevent maternal hyperglycemia, treatment of GDM typically begins with dietary changes, home glucose monitoring, increased exercise patterns and other lifestyle modifications. However, if maternal hyperglycemia persists after two weeks of maternal lifestyle modifications, there are not current best practice guidelines established for the treatment of GDM. Historically, subcutaneous multiple daily dosed insulin (MDI) has been the gold standard for treatment after lifestyle modification. However, …
Fertility Options For Women With Endometriosis: In Vitro Fertilization Versus Surgical Excision Or Ablation, Jenny L. Brown
Fertility Options For Women With Endometriosis: In Vitro Fertilization Versus Surgical Excision Or Ablation, Jenny L. Brown
Physician Assistant Scholarly Project Papers
Endometriosis negatively affects the fertility of many women of reproductive age worldwide. Some women with endometriosis are able to conceive without reproductive assistance, while others require medical intervention. In vitro fertilization and surgical management are available and widely used in the treatment of endometriosis associated infertility. In vitro fertilization has been found to be effective in women with stages I-IV endometriosis, with varying degrees of success at each stage. These varying results may be due to oocyte quality and availability as well as endometriosis location. Surgical excision and/or surgical ablation of endometriosis/endometriomas may also improve chance of successful pregnancy but …
Pelvic Examinations For Ovarian Cancer Screening In Asymptomatic Adult Women, Riann Sue Collar
Pelvic Examinations For Ovarian Cancer Screening In Asymptomatic Adult Women, Riann Sue Collar
Physician Assistant Scholarly Project Papers
There is discrepancy amongst organizations and the medical community whether bimanual pelvic examinations should be performed in asymptomatic women for routine screening. The purpose of this literature review was to determine whether bimanual pelvic examinations are beneficial for screening for ovarian cancer in comparison to no screening. In addition, research was conducted to see if healthcare providers’ professional beliefs align with the evidence and national recommendations, to determine women’s thoughts and beliefs regarding pelvic examinations, and if bimanual pelvic exams are not a valid screening tool for ovarian cancer, what are other screening methods available. Throughout reviewing peer reviewed articles …

Is A Varicocelectomy Beneficial In The Era Of Assisted Reproductive Technologies?, Chukwuka Oscar Nnoli
Physician Assistant Scholarly Project Papers
Clinical varicoceles are the most frequent physical finding associated with infertile men and impaired semen parameters. There is evidence that suggests varicocele repair improves semen parameter and increases the chances of natural pregnancy. Today, varicocele repair is often combined with assisted reproductive techniques (ART) such as intrauterine insemination (IUI), in Vitro fertilization (IVF) or intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI). In this literature review, data examining whether varicocelectomy before ART leads to improved pregnancy outcomes is reviewed. Current data suggest that there is a significant clinical benefit when correcting a varicocele in oligospermic men before IVF/ICSI. Similarly, men with non-obstructive azoospermia also …
A Comparison Of Pharmacologic Interventions In Pregnant Women With Opioid Use Disorder, Catherine M. Bopp
A Comparison Of Pharmacologic Interventions In Pregnant Women With Opioid Use Disorder, Catherine M. Bopp
Physician Assistant Scholarly Project Papers
The purpose of this research and systematic literature review is to determine which pharmacotherapeutic agent, methadone or buprenorphine, leads to better outcomes in cases of pregnant mothers with opioid use disorder (OUD). Outcomes considered are maternal compliance, neonatal abstinence syndrome severity, and neonatal length of hospital stay. In the review, PubMed, Clinical Key, Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, and DynaMed Plus were searched. Key terms searched were “methadone, buprenorphine, pregnancy”, “opioids, pregnancy”, “neonatal abstinence syndrome” and “medication assisted treatment, pregnancy”. Articles were narrowed with applications of filters for articles in the past fifteen years and by use of the English …

Comparing Screening And Treatment Of Bacterial Vaginosis And Pregnancy Outcomes, Stephanie Severson
Comparing Screening And Treatment Of Bacterial Vaginosis And Pregnancy Outcomes, Stephanie Severson
Physician Assistant Scholarly Project Papers
Despite evidence that bacterial vaginosis can lead to poor perinatal outcomes the consensus remains against a screening and treatment protocol for all pregnant women. Due to variability in a multitude of factors, a generalized recommendation is difficult to make. There are inconsistencies among stage of gestation that screening took place and treatment selection. The multiple variables in demographics also make providing best practice recommendations difficult. Lack of recommendations are largely due to harm of treatment in those who were misdiagnosed. The development of polymerase chain reaction (PCR) has the capability to reduce misdiagnosis. Newer studies have shown benefit of early …

In addition, research was conducted to see if healthcare providers’ professional beliefs align with the evidence and national recommendations, to determine women’s thoughts and beliefs regarding pelvic examinations, and identify other screening methods if bimanual pelvic exams are determined to be an invalid screening tool. Throughout reviewing peer reviewed articles and high-quality evidence, …
Prenatal Screening For Aneuploidy: Should Cfdna Replace Traditional Methods?, Rachel Watson
Prenatal Screening For Aneuploidy: Should Cfdna Replace Traditional Methods?, Rachel Watson
Physician Assistant Scholarly Project Posters
In 2011, advances in research in medical genetics led to the advent of prenatal cell-free DNA (cfDNA) or also known simply as non-invasive prenatal screening or testing (NIPS). This screen consists of analyzation of placental DNA circulating in maternal blood. NIPS has had a major impact on prenatal screening for aneuploidy. Mixed opinions and data exist as to whom this test is most appropriate for. The sensitivity and specificity of this screen in detecting common fetal aneuploidies has been well documented as superior to other screens in high-risk populations, but less so in low-risk obstetric populations. This paper will compare …
