ECTOPIC PREGNANCY
A woman just lost her life due to ectopic pregnancy!
It's a pregnancy in which the embryo attaches outside the womb. It can be life-threatening.
But we can save lives by helping educate women on our Timelines with this.
THREAD 🧵
The bulk of ectopic pregnancies occur in/along the Fallopian tubes.
Some in the ovaries, cervix or a random location in the abdomen.
* Abdominal pain
* Vaginal bleeding, &
* Amenorrhea (missing your period)
Other pregnancy symptoms like breast fullness & occasional nausea may be there too.
🔴 Rigid abdomen
🔴 Severe abdominal pain
🔴 Shoulder tip pain, &
🔴 Signs of shock such as cold hands & feet.
With these signs, immediate medical attention is needed to save the woman's life!
1. Previous ectopic pregnancy
2. STI's like gonorrhea
3. Fertility treatments like IVF*
4. Fallopian tube surgeries
5. Pregnancy while using an Intrauterine Contraceptive Device
6. Smoking history! 🚭
• HCG blood test
• ultrasound scan, or
• laparoscopy (an operation on your abdomen).
AND
Depending on some factors, you may be resuscitated & treated with;
• expectant measures
• methotrexate, or
• surgery
1. Limit your sexual partners & use condoms.
This helps prevent STI's & reduce pelvic inflammatory disease.
2. Don't smoke.
If you do, quit before you trying getting pregnant.
Although you cant entirely prevent it, doing these can help!
This may help her identify the problem early enough and access life-saving treatment on time before it's too late.
Kindly RT.

Now you know I love to sh-t in Harvard. But I also like accuracy. So I decided to go look at Harvard’s catalog to see its lack of military history that this article describes (they only teach history of pets it claims) and what I found shocked me! Shocked me! A thread: 1/
First off, Harvard students literally have multiple sections of military history that they can take listed. (It appears these ones are taught at MIT, so they might have to walk down the street for these) but... 2/
Say they want to stay on campus...they can only take numerous classes on war and diplomacy...3/
They have an entire class on Yalta. That’s right. An entire class on Yalta. 4/
But wait! There is more! They can take the British Empire, The Fall of the Roman Empire for those wanting traditional topics... 5/
\u201cMilitary history\u201d is only in decline if you\u2014like the author & experts in this obnoxious piece\u2014see the subject as a narrowly defined, white dude-oriented, guns & bayonets approach. The field is 1000% better off w/today\u2019s diversity of topics & historians. https://t.co/dUf3OWyVpQ

You gotta think about this one carefully!
Imagine you go to the doctor and get tested for a rare disease (only 1 in 10,000 people get it.)
The test is 99% effective in detecting both sick and healthy people.
Your test comes back positive.
Are you really sick? Explain below 👇
The most complete answer from every reply so far is from Dr. Lena. Thanks for taking the time and going through
You can get the answer using Bayes' theorem, but let's try to come up with it in a different —maybe more intuitive— way.
👇
Here is what we know:
- Out of 10,000 people, 1 is sick
- Out of 100 sick people, 99 test positive
- Out of 100 healthy people, 99 test negative
Assuming 1 million people take the test (including you):
- 100 of them are sick
- 999,900 of them are healthy
👇
Let's now test both groups, starting with the 100 people sick:
▫️ 99 of them will be diagnosed (correctly) as sick (99%)
▫️ 1 of them is going to be diagnosed (incorrectly) as healthy (1%)
