Gestational trophoblastic disease (GTD) includes a spectrum of abnormal pregnancies associated with trophoblastic proliferation. The most common form is a hydatidiform mole, which occurs when a fertilized egg implants abnormally in the uterus. Complete moles have only paternal chromosomes, while partial moles have both maternal and paternal chromosomes. Symptoms include vaginal bleeding, abdominal pain, and high hCG levels. Treatment involves uterine evacuation followed by chemotherapy for high-risk cases to prevent malignant changes. Long-term monitoring of hCG levels is needed due to the risk of persistent trophoblastic disease.

It is an abnormal condition of the placenta where there are partly degenerative and partly proliferative changes in the young chorionic villi. These result in the formation of clusters of small cysts of varying sizes. Because of its superficial resemblance to hydatid cyst, it is named as hydatidiform mole.
Abortion Including Recurrent Abortion And Septic Abortion.pptxDeepekaTS
Abortion is defined as the spontaneous or induced termination of pregnancy
before fetal viability. Many prefer miscarriage for spontaneous loss.
abortion as
loss or termination of a pregnancy with a fetus aged younger than 20 weeks’
gestation or weighing <500 g.
Of all miscarriages, approximately half are euploid abortions, that is, carrying a normal chromosomal complement.
Most common abnormalities are
trisomy, found in 50 to 60 percent;
monosomy X, in 9 to 13 percent; and
triploidy, in 11 to 12 percent
A prominent miscarriage risk is associated with poorly
controlled diabetes mellitus, obesity, thyroid disease, and systemic lupus
erythematosus. In these, inflammatory mediators may be an underlying theme
to pregnancy loss.
For women undergoing cancer treatment, direct therapeutic radiation can
cause miscarriage.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

Hydatidiform mole
1. By Ms. Parijat S
Masters in OBG Nursing
HYDATIDIFORM MOLE /VESICULAR
MOLE
2. Hemorrhage in
Early Pregnancy
The causes of bleeding in early pregnancy are
broadly divided into two groups:
Those related to the pregnant state
Those associated with the pregnant state
3. Those related to the pregnant state:
Abortion (95%),
Ectopic pregnancy,
Hydatidiform mole and
Implantation bleeding.
4. Those associated with the pregnant state:
Cervical lesions such as vascular ectopy
(erosion), polyp, ruptured varicose veins and
malignancy are important causes.
The lesions are unrelated to pregnancy—
either pre-existing or aggravated during
pregnancy.
6. Gestational Trophoblastic Disease
(GTD)
Gestational Trophoblastic Disease (GTD)
originates from placental tissue and is
among the rare human tumors that can be
cured even in the presence of widespread
metastases.
Gestational trophoblastic disease (GTD)
encompasses a spectrum of proliferative
abnormalities of trophoblasts associated
with pregnancy.
7. types of gestational trophoblastic
diseases :
Hydatidiform mole (benign)
Invasive mole;
Choriocarcinoma; (rare case likely to spread
quickly)
Placental site trophoblastic tumor ( PSTT).
The most common form of GTD is
hydatidiform mole, also known as molar
pregnancy.
9. Molar pregnancy is an abnormal form
of pregnancy in which a non-viable fertilized
egg implants in the uterus and will fail to come to
term.
10. DEFINITION
Hydatidiform mole is the abnormal condition of
the trophoblast (placenta) in which partly
degenerative and partly proliferative changes
occurs in the young chorionic vili.
11. Hydatids means “watery vesicles”
Cells degenerate and get filled with the fluid
which resemble the hydatid cyst so its called
hydatidiform mole.
Hydatidiform mole is also called as “benign
neoplasia of the chorion with malignant
potential”
12. INCIDENCE
The highest incidence is in Philippines being 1 in
80 pregnancies and lowest in European
countries 1 in 752 and USA being about 1 in
2,000.
The incidence, in India, is about 1 in 400.
13. Risk factors
Teenage and elderly pregnancy with high parity
Race and ethnic group
Low intake of carotene
Low intake of protein & animal fat
Disturbed maternal immune response
Cytogenic abnormality
History of previous hydatidiform mole
14. TYPES
A. Complete hydatidiform mole
B. Incomplete/partial hydatidiform mole
Partial and complete mole is identified through
chromosomal analysis
15. COMPLETE HYDATIDIFORM MOLE
Complete mole usually have 46 no. of
chromosomes but of paternal origin only. It
means no maternal chromosomes. Haploid
sperm cells get fertilized with empty ovum and
paternal chromosomes get duplicated.
+ + duplication=
sperm ovum zygote
23 46
16. Features of complete mole:
This type of mole shows no evidence of embryo,
cord or membrane
Embryo forms and dies earlier without
development of placental circulation
Chorionic vili alter to form clear fluid filled bunch of
grapes of varying sizes.
Hyperplasia affects the syncytiotrophoblast and
cytotrophoblast layers. Mass occupies the uterine
cavity and uterus gets enlarged.
17. PARTIAL HYDATIDIFORM MOLE
Chromosomal analysis shows 69 chromosomes
with 3 sets of chromosomes, 1 maternal and 2
paternal
Sperm ovum zygote
23
23
23
69
18. Features of partial mole
There is presence of embryo, fetus or amniotic fluid.
Fetus dies in early 1st trimester
Hyperplasia is confined to single layer of
syncytiotrophoblast.
Uterus is not large for dates and potential for
malignancy is low.
20. Clinical symptoms
The patient gives history of amenorrhea of 8–12
weeks with initial features suggestive of normal
pregnancy but subsequently presents with the
following manifestations:
Symptoms
Vaginal bleeding (90%)
The blood may be mixed with a gelatinous fluid
from ruptured cysts giving the appearance of
discharge “white currant in red currant juice”.
21.
22. Lower abdominal pain
It is due to:
o Over distention of uterus
o Concealed hemorrhage
o Perforation of uterus by invasive mole
o Infection
23. Constitutional symptoms
Patient is sick without apparent reason
Nausea and vomiting
Thyrotoxic features-tremors, tachycardia
Breathlessness( due to pulmonary embolisation of
trophoblastic cells)
Expulsion of grape like vesicles per vaginum
No H/O quickening
25. Examination
1. Per abdomen
Size of uterus is more than period of
amenorrhoea in 70%, corresponds with the
period of amenorrhea in 20% and smaller than
the period of amenorrhea in 10%.
On palpation uterus is doughy or elastic
Fetal parts are not felt
No fetal movements
No fetal heart sound
External ballottement cannot be elicited
27. The ovaries often contain multiple large
theca-lutein cysts as a result of increased
ovarian stimulation by excessive beta-hCG
In women with a complete mole, the
quantitative serum beta-hCG level is higher
than expected, often exceeding 100,000 IU/L.
28. In case of a partial mole, the level of beta-hCG is
often within the wide range associated with
normal pregnancy and the symptoms are usually
less pronounced.
29. Investigations
1. Full blood count, ABO and Rh grouping
2. Hepatic, renal and thyroid function test
3. USG
USG of abdomen shows snow-storm
appearance
USG of liver, kidney and spleen is also done
30.
31. 4. Serum HCG level/ urine test of HCG
5. Radiography
-Xray of abdomen shows –ve fetal shadow.
6. CT scan and MRI
33. v. Preeclampsia
vi. Acute pulmonary insufficiency
Symptoms usually begins within 4–6 hours
following evacuation.
vii. Coagulation failure
LATE COMPLICATIONS
Choriocacinoma
34. Risk Factors for Malignant Change
Patient’s age ≥ 40 or < 20 years irrespective of
parity
Parity ≥ 3. Age is more important than the parity
Serum hCG > 100,000 mIU/mL
Uterine size > 20 weeks
Previous history of molar pregnancy
Theca lutein cysts: large (>6 cm diameter)
35. Management
Principles in the management
Supportive therapy to restore the blood loss and
to prevent infection
To evacuate the uterus as soon as diagnosis is
made.
Counseling for regular follow up
36. Supportive therapy
(i) IV infusion with Ringer’s solution is started.
(ii) Blood transfusion is given if the patient is
anemic.
(iii) Parenteral antibiotic is given if there is
associated infection.
(iv) Blood is kept reserved during the evacuation as
there is risk of hemorrhage.
37. Definitive management
Evacuation of the uterus is done as soon as the
diagnosis is made. Suction evacuation can safely
be done even when the uterus is of 28 weeks of
gestation
38.
39. Vaginal evacuation
Cervix is favourable
Suction evacuation is done in which a –ve
pressure of 200-250 mmHg pressure is applied.
This procedure is done under diazepam sedation
or general anaesthesia .
Oxytocin infusion (20 units) in 500 ml ringer’s
solution is started at 30 drops per min when there
is risk of haemorrhage.
40. Cervix is tubular and closed
Slow dilatation of cervix is done by introducing
Laminaria tent which is followed by suction and
evacuation
Alternatively, vaginal misoprostol (PGE1) 400
µg, 3 hours before surgery may be used.
Digital exploration and removal of mole it may
done by ovum forceps which is alternative.
42. Laminaria tent
It is a cylinder about 5-
10 cm long made from
the dried stalk of the
marine plant Laminaria
digitata.
They are inserted into
the cervical canal when
they are dry and slowly
expand as they absorb
water, dilating the
cervix.
44. Abdominal
hysterectomy
Patient is above 35yrs
Family is completed
Perforating
hydatidiform mole
Patient is high risk for
developing
malignancy.
45. Uterus is send for histopathological examination
Following examination anti D immunoglobulin is
given to patient who are Rh –ve.
Prophylactic chemotherapy
About 80% of patients undergo spontaneous
remission.
It is given to those patients who are at risk to
develop malignancies
Either methotrexate or actinomycin is given orally or
IM or IV
46. Methotrexate, 1 mg/kg/day IV or IM is given on
days 1, 3, 5 and 7 with folinic acid 0.1 mg/kg IM
on days 2, 4, 6 and 8.
It is to be repeated every 7 days. A total three
courses are given.
beta-hCG level should decrease by at least
15%, 4–7 days after methotrexate.
Alternatively, intravenous actinomycin D 12 µg/kg
body weight daily for 5 days may be given. It is
less toxic than methotrexate.
47. Follow up
Routine follow-up is mandatory for all cases for
at least 1 year.
The prime objective is to diagnose persistent
trophoblastic disease (20–30%) that is
considered malignant. However, hCG levels
following evacuation should regress to normal
within 3 months time.
48. Follow up protocols
Maternal serum or urine hCG level is measured
Relevant symptoms are enquired such as vaginal
bleeding, persistant cough, breathlessness, etc
Chest X-ray, CTscan/ MRI for brain, chest and
pelvis is done
Abdomino-vaginal examination is done to note
involution of uterus, ovarian size, malignant
deposit if any in anterior vaginal wall.
49. Contraceptive advise is given.
If patient wants to be pregnant she can but after 6
month if her serum hCG titre is –ve.
women who is under chemotherapy should wait
for 1 year.
Oral pills or barrier method is used
IUD should be avoided.
