Diseases of Infancy and Childhood I Flashcards
exam
8 brandau
rest is 1/3 each from everything else
neonatal period
first 4 weeks
infancy
first year of life
four time spans of development
neonatal - first 4 weeks
infant - first 1 year
age 1-4
age 5-14
leading causes of death in first 1 year of life
congenital anomalies
prematurity
SIDS
leading cause of death 1 - 14 years
accidents
leading cause of childhood deaths
malnutrition
infections
emerginy disease
rates higher in africa than europe and US
10ug/mL of Pb in children
development toxicity
- decreased IQ
- decreased hearing
- decreased grwoth
10x this causes death
microcytic anemia
iron
macrocytic anemia
B and folate
pernicious anemia
basophilic stippling
lead intoxication
lead intoxication in adults
- basophilic stipling in RBCs (blue dotted cells)
- peripheral demyelination neuropathy
- microcytic hypochromic anemia
evolution and diet
chronic inflammation - sugars
recommend - high fat and high protein diet
gluten is bad - sugar
congenital anomaly
morph defect present at birth
malformation
error of morphogenesis - intrinsic abnormal development
usually multifactorial cause
ex/ cleft palate, cleft lip, polydactylyl, syndactylyl
disruption
secondary destruction of organ or body region that was previously normal in development
ex/ amniotic band
amniotic band
disruption
deformation
extrinsic disturbance in development
-localized or generalized compression of fetus by abnormal biomechanical forces
ex/ uterine constraint
sequence
cascade of anomalies trigered by initiating aberration
ex. potter sequence
potter sequence
oligohydroamnios
perinate
around time of birth
neonate
first 4 weeks after delivery
infant mortality
has declined in US
-but not in all ethnic groups
SIDS diagnosis
need to be under 1 year old
rubella
early infection
