Chapter 10 Flashcards
What are the time frames for infant and childhood development?
- Neonatal period: first 4 weeks of life
- Infancy: 1st year of life
- Toddler/preschool: 1-4 years
- School age: 5-14 years
In children younger than 1 (infants), what is the primary cause of death?
How does it change as the child ages?
1. Congenital malformation and chromosomal abnormalities.
- Premature bbs: Disorders d/t short gestation and low birth weight
3. Sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS)
*Respiratory distress of the newborn is another cause
As the child ages, it falls off off
In children 1-4 (toddler/preschool) what is the primary cause of death?
How does it change as the child ages?
What conditions start to show as a major cause of death?
1. Accidents
- Congenital malformations and chromo abnormalities - falls
accidents become and remain most common cause of death until 14.
malignant neoplasms become a common cause
Why do congenital malformation, which are anatomic defects present at birth, still are among the top causes of death until 14?
they may not be clinically apparaent until years later
In children 5-9, what is the primary cause of death?
How does it change as the child ages?
1. accidents
2. malignant neoplasms
3. congenital malformations
In children 10-14, what is the primary cause of death?
what do we see appear?
- accidents
- malignant neoplasms
3. SUICIDE
congenital malformation drops to number 5
Primary errors of morphogenesis (formation of orans), in which there is an intrinsically abnormal developmental process defines? (inherited
ex.
malformations
ex. cyclopsia
External event (secondary destuction) that affects an already well-developed organ.
Is it inherited?
Ex.
Disruption; not inherited
Ex. Amniotic band: rupture of amnion d/t “bands” that encircle, compress, or attach to parts of developing fetus
localized or generalized compression of the gorowing fetus by abnormal biochemical force.
“abnormal biomechanical forces”
deformations
Ex. endometrial tumors
What is the most common underlying factor for the development of deformations in newborns?
Example of common deformation seen in Potter sequence?
- Uterine constraint:size of fetus gets bigger than growth of uterus (35th-38th week)
- Deformations are caused by abnormal biomechanical forces
- Club feet is deformation seen in Potter sequence
What is a squence?
cascade of anomalies triggered by 1 irritating event.
What is the classic example of a sequence?
Due to what and what abnormalities are produced?
(Potter) sequence
[amnoitic leak, renal agenesis/other]=> Decreased amniotic fluid (oligohydromnois]–> fetal compression=>
- flattened facies
- positional abnormalities of hands and feet;
- dislocated hips;
- hypoplastic lungs; al
- so seen in amnion nodous
in potter sequence, what is the initiating aberration?
oligohydromias
What is often seen in Potters squence?
NODULES IN THE AMOIN
Malformations, disruptions, or deformations that set into motion secondary effects in other organs is known as?
sequence
