Malignant neoplasms

35
Q

Recognize the top three primary causes of death:

5-9 y/o

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

45
Q

Describe the teratogenic effects of:

3 :

4 :

7 :

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
Q

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

Chronic hypertension

Thrombophilias

Narcotic and alcohol abuse

Mechanism: not enough surfactant

Clinical signs: Cyanosis, Ground-glass picture chest ex-ray

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

Enviornment = prone or LR positon, sleeping on soft surface
