17
Q

3 main types of non-path short

A
  1. constitutional delay
    - normal velocity
    - delayed bone age and puberty
    - attain near normal height
    - may need short term androgens
  2. family short
    - normal bone age, growth velocity, puberty
    - Fam Hx
    - no Tx
  3. syndromic
    - special growth charts for turner and achondroplasia
18
Q

7 types pf patho short

A
  1. primordial - all 3 affected
  2. chromo
  3. skeletal dysplasias
  4. IUGR
    - teratogen
    - placental insuff.
  5. endocrine
    - GH def.
    - hypothyroid
    - hypopit.
    - hyper cort
  6. Chronic disease
    - cyanotic heart
    - malnutrition
    - malabsorption
  7. neglect
19
Q

Phx for short

A
  • charts
  • vitals
  • arm span
  • systemic changes with endocrine
  • sex dev. staging
  • upper to lower segment
20
Q

def. upper to lower segment ration (U/L)

A
  • lower landmark is pubic sym
  • normal
    newborn - 1.7
    4yo - 1.4
    adult 0.9 M 1 F
21
Q

investigations

A
  1. midparental height (P102)
    2 bone age
  2. endo workup
  3. chronic illness (lytes, Cr, BUN, LFT, IgG/M/A, ESR
  4. malabsorption - fecal fat, albumin, celiac screen, sweat chloride
  5. karyotype
22
Q

Normal age and dev. order for female puberty

A

7-13
breast>pubarche>growth>menarche
- early common but less worrysome

23
Q

Normal age and dev. order for male puberty

A

9-14
testes>pubarche>peak growth
- early puberty uncommon, but worrysome

24
Q

Phx for puberty

A
  • growth charting
  • stigmata of endocrinopathy - hirsuit, virilization
  • tanner staging
25
Q

3 parts of tanner stage

A
  • pubic hair
  • breast dev.
  • penis dev.
26
Q

def. precocious puberty

A

secondary sexu dev.

27
Q

isosexual vs. contrasexual

A

isosexual - phenotypically appropriate sex char

contrasexual - opposite to genotypic type

28
Q

complications of early puberty

A
  • decreases adult height

- psych outcomes

29
Q

2 general cat. of etiology of early puberty

A
  1. central (GnRh dep)

2. peripheral - GnRh indep.)

30
Q

features of central early puberty

A
  • bone age adv. + growth accel + sex chars
  • high LH/FSH and T and E
  • premature HPG activation
  • F:M 9:1
31
Q

features of peripheral

A
  • low LH/FSH, high T and E

-

32
Q

6 tests to always do for precocious

A
  1. bone age
  2. LH/FSH
  3. E and T
  4. DHEA-S
  5. 17- hydroxyprogesterone
  6. TSH, T4
33
Q

mgmt of central early

A

goal to preserve height

- GnRH agonsist - downregulate when given continuously

34
Q

mgmt of peripheral early

A

goals to treat underlying path, limit sexsteroid effects

- ketoconazole, spironolactone, tomoxifen,

35
Q

intdications to medically delay puberty

A
  • male
  • bone age faster than height
  • age
36
Q

def. late puberty
