This document discusses fibroids (leiomyomas), which are benign smooth muscle tumors of the uterus. Key points include:
- Fibroids are the most common benign tumors of the uterus, occurring in 20-30% of women by age 30.
- They are estrogen-dependent tumors that grow during reproductive years and often shrink after menopause.
- Symptoms include heavy menstrual bleeding, pelvic pressure, pain, urinary symptoms, and infertility.
- Fibroids can be intramural, subserosal, submucosal, or cervical. Complications include degeneration, infection, and torsion of pedunculated fibroids.
Explains the inflammatory process of endometrium,its causes and its two clinical variants as acute and chronic endometritis.
Describes the pathology of its two types with histologic perspective.
Menstrual irregularities are the problems with a girl's normal monthly menses. For example, missed periods, have them too frequently, having painful periods, or have excessively heavy flow. Menstrual irregularities can sometimes be a sign of an underlying health problem.
Presentation on the description of normal and abnormal uterine bleeding, menstrual cycle, FIGO classification with PALM-COEIN, common differentials of AUB, assessment, diagnosis, and management.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

SESSILE PEDUNCULATED
ANTERIOR POSTERIOR CENTRAL LATERAL
10.
11. INTRAMURAL
MOST COMMON(75 %)
WITHIN THE MYOMETRIAL WALL
PSEUDOCAPSULE
BLOOD SUPPLY – THROUGH THE PSEUDOCAPSULE
12. SUBSEROUS(15 %)
-TUMOR GROWS OUTWARDS TO THE PERITONIAL SURFACE
- (further extrusion outwards with development of a
pedicle)
PEDUNCULATED SUBSEROUS FIBROID
-(gets attached to vascular organ & cut off from uterine
origin)
WANDERING PARASITIC FIBROID
13. SUBMUCOUS(10 %)
Grows inwards into the cavity
Make the uterine cavity irregular
& distorted
Pedunculated fibroid can come
out through cervix
14. SUBMUCOUS
It may become infected
Ulcerated menorrhagia,
metorrhagia
Infertility, recurrent miscarriage
SUBMUCUS MYOMATOUS POLYP
(Submucus myoma force itself towards vagina by
a pedicle)
17. BROAD LIGAMENT FIBROID
TRUE
NO ATTACHMENT TO THE
UTERUS
URETER MEDIAL TO THE
FIBROID
FALSE
COMMON
ARISES FROM THE LATERAL UTERINE WALL
GROWS BETWEEN LAYERS OF BROAD
LIGAMENT
URETER LATERAL TO THE FIBROID
20. MICROSCOPY
Consists of whorled pattern of smooth muscles
and fibrous connective tissue
Subserous and cervical myomas :
more fibrous tissue and less of muscle
25. CACIFIC DEGENERATION
Due to circulatory impairment
Common after menopause
Occur in sub-serous fibroid with narrow pedicle
Calcium carbonate or phosphate is deposited in the
centre of the tumor which is least vascular
WOMB STONE (CALCIFIED FIBROID)
26. RED DEGENERATION

30. TORSION
- Sub-serous pedunculated fibroid may
undergo rotation at its site of
attachment to the uterus
-Veins occluded & tumor engorged
with blood
-Very severe a/c abdominal pain
31. INFECTION
Common in SUBMUCOUS fibroids & especially MYOMATOUS
POLYPI projecting into vagina
Covered by only a layer of endometrium that becomes
thinned out and sloughs
Blood stained purulent discharge
Often following delivery or abortion
puerperal sepsis
33. Fibroids complicating
pregnancy
Pregnancy causes increase in size of fibroids.
High tendency to undergo degenerative
changes.
Severe pain abdomen.
Respiratory embarrassment ,urinary retention,
obstructed labour.
Increased risk of miscarriage, preterm labour ,
abnormal presentations,accidental
hemorrhage,dystocia,PPH,peurperal sepsis,uterine
inversion.
34. SYMPTOMS

only on routine gynecological
examinations
Peak incidence between age of 35 and
45
Nulliparity and infertility are usual
associations.
CLINICAL FEATURES
35. Usual type of bleeding associated with fibroid is
menorrhagia
o This is more with sub-mucous fibroids, also seen
with intramural fibroids.
Another less common pattern is metrorrhagia
Some women have menometrorrhagia
ABNORMAL UTERINE
BLEEDING
36. Increase in endometrial surface area
Increased vascularity
Interference with normal uterine contractions
Ulceration and haemorrhage over fibroid
Compression of venous plexus
Associated endometrial hyperplasia and
anovulation
Mechanism of
menorrhagia
37. Pelvic discomfort or pressure
occur with large fibroids,
broad ligament fibroids compress sciatic
nerve
-posterior fibroids cause low back ache
pressure symptoms
38. Fibroid arising from cervix produce
bladder discomfort and compression
Initially increased urinary frequency then voiding
difficulties
Sometimes acute retention can occur due to fibroid
impacted in pouch of Douglas
Large fibroids and broad ligament fibroids cause
ureteric compression and hydronephrosis
Urinary symptoms
39. CAUSES:
Red degeneration
Expulsion of sub
mucous fibroid
Hemorrhage into the
fibroid
Torsion of fibroid
Acute retention of
PELVIC PAIN
40. OTHER SYMPTOMS ARE:
Edema of lower limbs
Large fibroids cause venous stasis,
difficulty in defecation even
dyspareunia
41. Infertility
a)cornual myomas cause tubal occlusion
b)impaired gamete and embryo transport
c)altered relation between semen and
vaginal pool of secretion
d)distortion of cavity
42. Recurrent miscarriage
early miscarriage due to defective
implantation
second trimester miscarriage due
to distortion of cavity
43. A/E reveal a pelvic mass with smooth or
irregular surface and firm consistency
Except in case of pedunculated fibroids lower
border may not be palpable
Signs
44. Bimanual palpation is done to
differentiate between an ovarian tumour
and fibroid
In case of fibroid uterus is not felt
separated also there will be transmitted
mobility
