Iatrogenic disease
1. Eg drug induce parkinsonism
2. A disease cause by the process of diagnosis or treatment
3. Affect 10% hospitalized geriatric patient 4. 2 main adverse drugs reaction
o Type A- are attributable to accentuation of a drugs known for pharmacological actions,
related to dose, predictable, relatively common
o Type B-are idiosyncratic, unrelated to dose, f requently unpredictable and of unknown
mechanism, governed by host f actors such as genetics or allergy, less common but
of ten more serious.
5. Factors for high incidence of ADR
o Inadequate clinical assessment and multiple disorder
o Excessive prescription and inadequate reviewed of medication
o Altered pharmacokinetics in old people absorption in the gut, drug metabolism by
liver, clearance in by the kidneyo Altered pharmacodynamics. Ie greater anticoagulant effect,
o Impaired compliance. Ie- live alone, poor instruction by doctor

cycle), age, contraceptive, sperm transport (retrograde ejaculation)
8. Infertility- inability of conceive af ter 1 year of trying for pregnancy.
o Sub-infertility
o Sterility (prevention tubal sperm)- vasectomy,
o Antisperm antibodieso Treatment- intrauterine insemination
Fertilization and implantation
1. Ovulation
o Prior to ovulation-LH surge
-select a large pre-ovulatory follicle
-induces oocyte to complete 1st
meiosis-oocyte + a polar body
2. Fertilization
o Sperm bind with corona radiata (wiki)
o Sperm penetrate zona pellucida
o Sperm-oocyte membranes fusion- complete 2nd meiosis and 2nd polar body
o Female and male pronuclei fusiony Prevent polyspermy
1) Reducing sperm number reaching oviduct
2) Af ter nuclei fusion- rapid protein conformation change to zona
pellucida and changes too oocyte membrane
3. Early development in oviduct

o >1= embryo. No new mRNA on 4 cells embryo. Reliant on maternal transcript

o Morula (4th
day)
o blastocyst(~6th
day. Inner cell mass/ embryoblast + outer trophoblast), hatching f rom
zona pellucida
o 6-7 days to reach uterus
4. Implantation (prep- progesterone + oestradiol for secretory endometrium and epithelial
receptivity). Complete at 14th
day
o Blastocyst attachment- require trophoblast
o Blastocyst invasion- through epithelium into stromal tissue. Some stroma cell become
decidual cells (cellular degeneration). This restrict the invasion of the trophoecoderm.
Decidual tissue not present in other organ. Ectopic pregnancy potential for serious
haemorrhage.
5. Consequence of implantation
o Formation of embryo bilaminar disc (epiblast and hypoblast)
o Formation of initial placenta
o Secretion of hCG- prevents lysis of corpus luteum therefore progesterone secretion
continues

day 14

Placenta
1. Placenta has 2 components
o Embryo-trophoblast
o Maternal- decidua
2. Process
o Trophoblast invade the uterine endothelium completely enclosed in uterine wall (7day-
10day)
o The syncytiotrophobalst invades the uterine wall and erodes the lining capillaries
forming trophoblastic lacunae
o At the same time ICM forming bilaminar embryo. Maternal blood enters the lacunae so
that the naternal blood in contact with the trophoblast

o Primary villi (2-3weeks)- finger-like protrusions of cytotrophoblast covered by
syncytiotrophoblast into lacunae.
o Secondary villi (week 3)- extraembryonic mesoderm invade the centre of the villi then
differentiate into bleed vessels
o Tertiary villi (week 3)-when blood vessels present in the villi. At the same time the
embryonic heart and circulation is developing link up with those in the villi. No direct
communication between maternal and embryo/fetal circulation. As fetus grows, the
tertiary villi change in structure so that the thickness of the barrier decrease.
o As embryo grow, it invade uterine cavity. The part of trophoblast that remain in contact
with uterine wall is called chorion f rondosum/placenta. While the remaining thin and
smooth is called chorion lavae. It fuse with amnion to form the extraembryonic
membrane.

1. Start with single tube suspended on mesentery
2. Foregut
o The lower foregut begins at the level of the lung buds with the
8/6/2019 RDA Module
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/rda-module 13/13
esophagus, followed by the stomach and the superior part of the
duodenum.
o It extends as f ar as the liver bud and the pancreas, the bile passages also
arise f rom it.
o Between stage 14 (ca. 33 days, 14 ) and 20 (ca. 49 days, 20 ) a
massive lengthening of the whole intestines in a cranio-caudal growth
gradient takes place: in the beginning it is mainly the esophagus and
stomach that lengthen. Thus a shif t of these structures relative to the
vertebral column occurs.
o descent of the stomach. This lengthening not only leads to a relative
relocation with respect to the spine but it also coupled to the so-called
"stomach rotation".
3. Midgut
o Week6- physiological herniation into umbilical cord
the midgut begins to extend into the umbilical coelom and forms the
umbilical loop
o Week 10- rotation and return to abdominal cavity
Only when the umbilical loop lengthens and grows into the umbilicalcoelom does it experience a rotation of 90 degrees in a clockwise
direction. The umbilical loop now has a horizontal position. As
development proceeds the intestinal loop turns further around its own
axis. In stage 18 (ca. 44 days, 18 ) the extension of the intestinal
loop into the umbilical coelom has reached its maximum. This
physiologic navel hernia remains in existence up to the 9th week of
pregnancy. the loops of the small intestine return into the abdominal
cavity and come to lie in the lef t half surrounded by the horizontal and
descending part of the colon that never lef t the abdominal cavity. The
rotation now amounts to more than 180 degrees (total 270 degree) and
the colon is also shif ted more and more into the abdominal space.o Abnormalities includes malrotation, omphalocoele, meckels
diverticulum
4. Hindgut
o The hindgut extends f rom the left third of the transverse colon to the
cloaca (rectum). In contrast to the midgut, no intestinal rotation occurs
here but rather this part gets pushed to the lef t side by the midgut
returning f rom the umbilical coelom
o In addition, at its end, it is connected to the allantois and to the
mesonephric duct
o the urorectal septum, arises in the angle between the allantois and the
hindgut. Through this mechanism, the cloaca is subdivided into the
urogenital sinus (ventrally) and the anorectal canal (dorsally)
