Q

In children younger than 1 (infants), what is the primary cause of death?

How does it change as the child ages?

A

1. Congenital malformation and chromosomal abnormalities.

  1. 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

Q

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?

A

1. Accidents

  1. Congenital malformations and chromo abnormalities - falls

accidents become and remain most common cause of death until 14.

malignant neoplasms become a common cause

Q

Why do congenital malformation, which are anatomic defects present at birth, still are among the top causes of death until 14?

A

they may not be clinically apparaent until years later

Q

External event (secondary destuction) that affects an already well-developed organ.

Is it inherited?

Ex.

A

Disruption; not inherited

Ex. Amniotic band: rupture of amnion d/t “bands” that encircle, compress, or attach to parts of developing fetus

Q

What is the most common underlying factor for the development of deformations in newborns?

Example of common deformation seen in Potter sequence?

A

- 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

Q

What is the classic example of a sequence?

Due to what and what abnormalities are produced?

A

(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

16
Q

are disruptions assx with a risk of recurrence in next pregnancies?

A

no bc not heritable

17
Q

Differentiate agenesis from aplasia

A
  • Agenesis: complete absence of an organ AND is associate primordium.
    • no primoridium => no organ
  • Aplasia: organ fails to grow from the EXISTING primordium.
    • primordium => no organ
18
Q

what is atresia?

A

absence of a opening

19
Q

________, __________, _________ are the 3 major categories of congenital abnormalities in humans.

A
  • 1. Genetic factors
  • 2. environmental
  • 3. multifactorial (20-25%
20
Q

What are the 2 most common genetic problems we see in congennital abnormalities and %

A

1. Chromosomal aberration (10-15%)

  1. Mendelian inheritance (2-10%)
21
Q

what are the most common causes of environemtal causes of congenital aanomliaes?

A
  1. Maternal and placenta linfection (2-3%
  2. Maternal disease states (6-8)

3 drugs /chemical (1)

  1. irradiation (1)
22
Q

______ is a major teratogen used in the treatment of acne.

A

retanoic acid

23
Q

thalidomide caues

A

limb malformations

24
Q

alochol during preg caues

A

FAS => growth retardation, microcephy, ASD, short palpebral fissures and maxillary hypoplasia

25
Q

maternal smoking does what

A

low birth rate

increase risk of SIDS

26
Q

many ofcongenital anomalies that cannot be explained on the basis of a single, localized, initiating defect

A

Malformation syndrome

27
Q

what is an example of a malformation syndrome?

A

diabetic embryopathy

28
Q

What causes sudden infant death syndrome?

A

– no explanation even after autosopy

29
Q
  • Most common microbes to cause congenital abnormalities during development
A

TORCH

toxoplasmosis, other, rubella, CMV, herpes/IVX

30
Q

What are the 2 general principles of developmental pathology?

A
  1. TIMING of teratogen IMPORTANT
  2. Terotogens and genetic defects can act on the SAME developmental pathways nad result in SIMILAR anomomlies
31
Q

a. _____ (inhibits _____) and _____ mutations → holoprosencephaly
b. _____ (inhibits ____) and ____ mutations → limb/vert/craniofacial issues
c. Excessive______ (____ deregulation) and ____ mutations → cleft lip/palate

A

a. Cycopamine (inhibits hedgehog) and hedghog mutations → holoprosencephaly
b. valproix acid (inhibits HOX) and HOX mutations → limb/vert/craniofacial issues
c. Excessive retanoid acid (TGF-B deregulation) and TGFB-3 mutations → cleft lip/palate

32
Q

Major morphological abnormalities occur during which weeks of embryonic development?

Between which weeks is the embryo extremely susceptible to teratogenesis?

Peak sensitivity when?

A

3-8 wk

3-9 wks

4-5 wks

33
Q

Teratogens during the 4/5 weeks of gestation affect every body system except for the _______________ which begin to develop later

A

teeth

palate

genitalis

34
Q

prematurity is when

2nd most common cause of?

A

Less than 37 weeks

neonatal mortality (1-4 weeks)

35
Q

Infants born to mothers treated with retinoic acid for severe acne have which predictable phenotype (retinoic acid embryopathy)?

A

CNS

Cardiac

craniofascial defects (cleft lip and palate

36
Q

The craniofacial defects (cleft lip and palate) which result from retinoid acid embryopathy are a result of?

A

the TGF-B signaling pathway

37
Q

What are the 4 risk factors associated with prematurity?

A

1) PPROM (before 37 weeks = most serious)
- premature-preterm-rupture of member
2) Intrauterine infections (major cause)
3) Structural abnormalities (uterine, placental, and cervical)
4) Multiple gestations (twin pregnancy)
