Abnormal uterine bleeding is evaluated using various ultrasound techniques and parameters according to the IETA model. Transvaginal ultrasound is used to measure endometrial thickness and assess echogenicity, vascularity, and the endo-myometrial junction. Additional techniques like saline infusion sonography can outline intracavitary lesions in more detail. Precise ultrasound evaluation and scoring systems can detect endometrial abnormalities and help determine the risk of endometrial cancer. Following guidelines and algorithms helps manage patients and determine if further testing or procedures are needed.

Benign ovarian masses include functional cysts and tumors; most are asymptomatic.Most functional cysts and benign tumors are asymptomatic. Sometimes they cause menstrual abnormalities. Hemorrhagic corpus luteum cysts may cause pain or signs of peritonitis, particularly when they rupture. Occasionally, severe abdominal pain results from adnexal torsion of a cyst or mass, usually > 4 cm. Treatment varies depending on the patient's reproductive status.

Manegement of adenexal masses in pregnancyWafaa Benjamin
Over the last 20 years, the use of ultrasound in pregnancy has dramatically increased the numbers of ovarian cysts diagnosed.
The majority of these ovarian cysts in pregnancy either resolve spontaneously or are due to benign conditions.
Ovarian cancer is extremely rare in women of childbearing age and thus most of these cysts can be managed conservatively.
In terms of malignancy potential, those that are malignant are likely to be borderline.
Unless there is a suspicion of malignancy or there is a significant cyst complication, such as torsion, surgery is not indicated.
MRI is a safe and useful tool to help evaluate cysts in more detail in situations where ultrasound provides an inconclusive answer.
If surgery is planned, this should take place during the second trimester to minimise the risk of miscarriage.
Whether surgery is done laparoscopically or using a traditional open approach, it is largely dependent on operator experience and patient preference.
Aspiration of ovarian cysts is only indicated where they appear simple on ultrasound and where they are causing pain or are thought to be obstructing the birth canal.
If surgery does not take place, then ultrasound follow-up during and after pregnancy may be advised accordingly.
Corona is here to stay and it is predicted that over 70% of population will get the infection (fortunately not all will fall sick or very sick). (Recovery rate of over 74% & Death rate around 2%).
A lot of confusion exists regarding testing for covid and what test to do, when and how to interpret these tests.

Antibiotic Stewardship by Anushri Srivastava.pptxAnushriSrivastav
Stewardship is the act of taking good care of something.
Antimicrobial stewardship is a coordinated program that promotes the appropriate use of antimicrobials (including antibiotics), improves patient outcomes, reduces microbial resistance, and decreases the spread of infections caused by multidrug-resistant organisms.
WHO launched the Global Antimicrobial Resistance and Use Surveillance System (GLASS) in 2015 to fill knowledge gaps and inform strategies at all levels.
ACCORDING TO apic.org,
Antimicrobial stewardship is a coordinated program that promotes the appropriate use of antimicrobials (including antibiotics), improves patient outcomes, reduces microbial resistance, and decreases the spread of infections caused by multidrug-resistant organisms.
ACCORDING TO pewtrusts.org,
Antibiotic stewardship refers to efforts in doctors’ offices, hospitals, long term care facilities, and other health care settings to ensure that antibiotics are used only when necessary and appropriate
According to WHO,
Antimicrobial stewardship is a systematic approach to educate and support health care professionals to follow evidence-based guidelines for prescribing and administering antimicrobials
In 1996, John McGowan and Dale Gerding first applied the term antimicrobial stewardship, where they suggested a causal association between antimicrobial agent use and resistance. They also focused on the urgency of large-scale controlled trials of antimicrobial-use regulation employing sophisticated epidemiologic methods, molecular typing, and precise resistance mechanism analysis.
Antimicrobial Stewardship(AMS) refers to the optimal selection, dosing, and duration of antimicrobial treatment resulting in the best clinical outcome with minimal side effects to the patients and minimal impact on subsequent resistance.
According to the 2019 report, in the US, more than 2.8 million antibiotic-resistant infections occur each year, and more than 35000 people die. In addition to this, it also mentioned that 223,900 cases of Clostridoides difficile occurred in 2017, of which 12800 people died. The report did not include viruses or parasites

Hyderabad
IETA Model
2. Abnormal uterine bleeding - AUB
AUB - is considered when there is significant deviation from a women’s
established menstrual pattern
AUB can occur in the pre, peri, and postmenopausal states
AUB is the commonest (20%) clinical presentation in the Gynec OP
3. FIGO - Classification of AUB
PALM - COEIN
P – Polyp ( AUB -P)
A - Adenomyosis (AUB- A)
L – Leiomyoma (AUB – L)
M – Malignancy & hyperplasia (AUB- M)
C – Coagulopathy (AUB – C)
O – Ovulatory dysfunction (AUB- O)
E – Endometrial pathologies ( AUB -E)
I – Iatrogenic (AUB – I)
N – Not yet classified ( AUB – N)
4. PALM Group of causes –Discrete,
Structural, which can be measured
and evaluated by imaging techniques
COEIN Group related to entities
that are not defined by imaging
techniques (non-structural)
5. Preamble
• Endometrium is the mucus membrane lining the uterine cavity.
• Evaluation of endometrium is done during pre, peri and postmenopausal
states.
• Important component is quantitative assessment of endometrium.
• Thickness is best assessed by obtaining a true mid-sagittal section of
the uterus either Transvaginal or Trans rectal USG
• Comprehensive assessment is achieved using color/ power Doppler, 3D
Ultrasound with or without Saline instillation sonography (SIS)
6. Technical requirements
• High resolution intra cavitary USG
• Color / power Doppler USG
• 3D Ultrasound
• Saline / Gel infusion sonography
7. IETAFactors
• Endometrial thickness ( Quantitative)
• Echogenicity of the endometrium ( Qualitative)
• Demonstration of endometrial mid line echo
• Endo-myometrial junction - Junctional zone
• Vascularity - color score
• Vascular pattern
8. Additional factors
Saline / Gel infusion sonography
For intracavitary lesions
• Localized or extended
• Pedunculated or Sessile
• Outline of the lesion
• Color score with vascular pattern of the lesion
Coupled with 3D USG
9. Ultrasound evaluation of endometrium
• Sagittal section of the uterus.
• Image sould be magnified to occupy 75% of the screen
• Callipers placed at the two opposite endo-myometrial interfaces.
• Measured at the thickest, perpendicular to the endometrial line.
10. Ultrasound evaluation of endometrium
• In the presence of fluid, sum of both single endometrial lining gives the
thickness.
• In the presence of asymmetric thickness of endometrium, largest
anterior & posterior endometrial thickness should be taken into
consideration.
• When endometrium is not clearly delineated – it should be reported as “
non-measurable”
11. Endometrialthickness
< 4 mm > 5 mm Not measurable
< 1% Ca Endometrium 10% - Biopsy recommended High incidence of Ca
Universally accepted cut off 4.5 mm
16. Endometrial lesions
• Localized - base of the lesion < 25% of the endometrial surface
Pedunculated or sessile polyp
Pedunculated polyp - a/b ratio <1
Sessile if a/b ratio 1

Risk ofendometrialcancer Dueholmetal
34. • Endometrial thickness < 4mm – no further investigation.
• “ Unmeasurable “ endometrium should be evaluated.
• Vascularity of the endometrium and colour score helps in
grading the lesions.
• SIS /GIS outlines the lesions and its surface
irregularities.
• Endometrial and myometrial junction helps in identifying
focal lesions.
• Pre-operative assessment of myometrial and cervical
invasion is effectively done by ultrasound.
Summary
35. • Trans vaginal ultrasound is the imaging modality of choice.
• IETA guideline are useful in early detection of endometrial
abnormalities and “ Score the risk of Endometrial cancer”.
• Flow charts are useful in managing these patients.
• Newer techniques such as elastography & Contrast enhanced
ultrasound are complimentary to the conventional techniques
