Malignant neoplasms

35
Q

Recognize the top three primary causes of death:

5-9 y/o

Congenital malformations/deformations/chromosomal abnormalities

Influenza and pneumonia

36
Q

Recognize the primary causes of death:

10-14y/o

A

Malignant neoplasms

Congenital malformations/deformations/chromosomal anomalies

37
Q

What is a malformation?

give an example.

A

Primary errors of morphogenesis, an intrinsically abnormal developmental process

Congenital heart defects, anencephaly

38
Q

What is a disruption?

give an example.

A

Results from secondary destruction of an organ or body region (was previously normal) arise from extrinsic disturbance in morphogenesis

Amniotic bands

*NOTE: Disruptions are NOT heritable

39
Q

What is a deformation?

give an example.

A

Extrinsic disturbance of development – abnormal biochemical forces

Uterine constraint, fetal placental factors

40
Q

What is a sequence?

give an example.

A

A cascade of abnormalities triggered by one intitiating aberration

Rupture of the amnion–> Oligohydraminos (potter sequence)

41
Q

What are the three major categories of congenital anomalies?

A

Genetic

Enviornmental

Multifactorial

42
Q

What are the two prinicples affecting the pathogenesis of congenital anomalies?

A

1) Timing of the prenatal teratogenic insult
2) Features of dysmorphogenesis caused by enviornmental insults can often be recapitulated by genetic defects in the pathways targed by these teratogens

43
Q

Describe the teratogenic effects of:

Cyclopamine

A

Affects the SHH pathway

(Cyclops, craniofacial abnormalities)

44
Q

Describe the teratogenic effects of:

Valproic acid

Affects HOX genes

45
Q

Describe the teratogenic effects of:

3 :

4 :

7 :

A

Week 4: Arms, Legs, Eyes

7: External genetalia “lucky junk”

47
Q

What is fetal growth restriction (FGR)?

A

Term infants who weigh too little for their gestational age

48
Q

What are fetal influences that can induce fetal growth restriction (FGR)?

A

Influences that intrinsically reduce growth potential of the fetus even though there is adequate supply of nutrients

EXAMPLE : TORCH group of infections (Toxoplasmosis, rubella, cytomegalovirus, herpes)

49

What are placental influences that can induce fetal growth restriction (FGR)?

Uteroplacental insufficiency

50

Preclampsia

Chronic hypertension

Thrombophilias

Narcotic and alcohol abuse

52
Q

Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC)

Most common in?

Pathogenesis?

Clinical manifestations?

A

Premature infants

Multifactorial pathogenesis

Bloody stools, abdominal distention, circulatory collapse, gas in intestinal wall

53
Q

What is fetal hydrops?

A

Accumulation of edema fluid in the fetus during intrauterine growth

54
Q

What is immune hydrops?

A

Hemolytic disease w/ blood group ag incompatibility b/w mother and fetus

55
Q

What is nonimmune hydrops?

A

NIH

Causes include: Turner syndrome, transplacental infections

56
Q

What are the two primary routes which perinatal infections are aquired?

A

Transvervical

Transplacental (most are parasitic)

57
Q

What are the clinical features of PKU?

A

Not able to walk/talk

MUSTY ORDOR TO URINE

58
Q

Describe galactosemia

A

Buildup of galactiol and galactonate in the tissues

Problems with the LIVER, EYES, BRAIN

kids have AMINOACIDURIA

59
Q

What is the incidence of cystic fibrosis?

A

1 : 2500 live births

Common in caucasian populations

Carrier frequency is 1 : 20

60
Q

What is the gene that is affected with CF?

A

CFTR gene 7q31.2

61
Q

What is the difference b/w SIDS and SUID?

A

SIDS = “sudden infant death syndrome” sudden death of infant under 1 year of age (dies in sleep - crib death)

SUID = “sudden unexplained infant death” the sudden death from an unexpected anatomic or biochemical basis

62
Q

What are the risk factors associated with SIDS?

A

Parental = young maternal age (<20), drug abuse, smoking, AA or american indian ethnicity

Infant = prematurity, brain stem abnormalities, SIDS in prior sibling
