In ovarian torsion, the torsion of the ovary usually occurs with torsion of the fallopian tube on their shared vascular pedicle around this ligament.
What is the broad ligament?

Mesenteric ischemia can be due to embolism, thrombosis (20%), or transient hypoperfusion (25%). About 50% of all cases are due to embolism in the territory of THIS ARTERY, which accounts for the classic finding of periumbilical pain since visceral pain fibers running with the artery are referred to T10.
What is the SMA, or superior mesenteric artery?
200
Apart from the honor of being the first bacterial infection to be specifically documented (in the papyrus scrolls of ancient Egypt), THIS BACTERIUM and CHLAMYDIA are the most common STI's associated with PID and TOA.
What is GONORRHEA?
200
Other than rupturing, AAA's with one of these characteristics also cause symptoms of abdominal, back or flank pain.
What is Rapidly expanding, Compressing adjacent structure, or is an inflammatory or infectious aneurysm?
200
Obstruction of this duct with subsequent inflammation is the primary cause of Acute Cholecystits.
What is the cystic duct?

Risk factors for ovarian torsion include (1) increased length of the ovarian ligaments, (2) enlarged corpus luteum during pregnancy, (3) ovarian cysts... and THIS, a type of "growth" famously denied by Arnold Schwarzenegger in the movie Kindergarten Cop.
What is a tumor? (dermoid or other)

The most important risk factors for mesenteric ischemia are those that predispose patients to emboli or thrombosis due to vascular disease, which may include patients with atherosclerosis, endocarditis, mechanical valves, and commonly, THIS DIAGNOSIS (which also requires calculating a patient's CHADS2 score).
What is ATRIAL FIBRILLATION?
300
Risk factors for PID and TOA include hx of PID, smoking, douching, recent IUD insertion, recent instrumentation of the cervix, and most importantly THIS.
What is MULTIPLE SEXUAL PARTNERS?

Risk factors for gallstone formation includes female gender, increasing age, parity, and this, a common problem in the U.S. population.
What is obesity?

What is the R side?
400
20-50% of patients with mesenteric ischemia, particularly those with SMA thrombosis, may experience a prodrome of postprandial pain due to increased blood flow demand after meals. This symptom is commonly referred to as THIS.
What is ABDOMINAL (or intestinal) ANGINA?
400
You can treat most females with PID on an outpatient basis with IM ceftriaxone x 1, plus doxycycline x 14 days, but it is important to remember to do THIS as well.

This is the most commonly isolated baterium in cases of acute cholecystitis.
What is E. coli?

500
A complication of PID, THIS occurs when infection and inflammation spread to the abdomen, including peri-hepatic structures.
