Q

CDGP

A

constitutional delay of growth and puberty = : temporary delay in the skeletal growth and thus height of a child with no other physical abnormalities causing the delay. These children ‘catch-up’ during mid-puberty

  • normal size at birth, HV decreases in 3-5 years of life
  • growth and stature concordant with bone age, but NOT with chronological age
  • dealyed but normal puberty - experience later than friends “late blooming”
  • HV is low in first 5 years, most experience a growth spurt
  • growth to normal heigh during delayed puberty
  • no medical tx - though some may benefit from testosterone and estrogen to trigger the growth that would occur during puberty

Q

Juvenile idiopathic arthritis

A
Approximately 10%-40% of children with
juvenile idiopathic arthritis have short
stature due to long-term inflammation,
stiffening, and deformation of affected
joints.
" Delayed puberty
" Short stature is generally related to reduced
growth in lower extremities.
" Clinical course is highly variable among
patients.
" Incidence is 6-19/100 000

27
Q

Autonomic innervation of adrenals?

A

Sympathetics arise from spinal cord segments T6-L2 (T8-T10 NBOME). Have vasomotor function. Stimulation also results in secretion of epinephrine and norepinephrine. Commonly see somatic dysfunction (flexed) segment at the thoracolumbar junction

Parasympathetic fibers (vagus) may be present, however, role not clearly delineated

28
Q

opp tx for adrenal disease?

A

Lymphatics - thoracic inlet, respiratory diaphragm and other associated structures

Sympathetics – T6-L2

Parasympathetics – although role not clearly defined, consider treating structures that impact vagal function (temporal bone, occipitomastoid suture compression, OA, AA, C2)

Cranial – altered hypothalamic or pituitary function (SBS compression or other strain pattern)

Ventral abdominal release to improve function of celiac, aorticorenal, superior mesenteric and inferior mesenteric ganglion

Locally in region of adrenal gland to address fascial restrictions (don’t forget psoas major muscle and attachments)

Chapman’s reflexes
Anteriorly – 2-2.5 inches above and 1 inch lateral to the umbilicus (bilateral)
Posteriorly – Intertransverse spaces between T11 and T12 bilaterally

29
Q

hypothyroidism

A

fatigue, conspitation, mm. aches, 15 lb weight gain, cold intolerance, decreased DTRs, skin is dry

order: TSH (would be increased and T4 decreased in primary) (TSH would be decreased and T4 decreased with central)
- TSH elevated, T4 normal = subclinical hypothyroidism
- TSH and T4 elevated - OC’s

clinical management:

  • Medical management – levothyroxine (T4)
  • Repeat TSH every 6 weeks until stabilized
  • Consider liothyronine (T3) if no response to levothyroxine
30
Q

arterial supply / venous of thyroid gland?

A

Superior and inferior thyroid arteries

Superior, middle and inferior thyroid veins

31
Q

lymph drainage of thyroid?

A

Via prelaryngeal, pretracheal and paratracheal nodes

Largely driven by the motion of the respiratory diaphragm

Ultimately courses through the thoracic inlet on the way back to the heart

32
Q

ANS of thyroid

A

Sympathetics arise from upper thoracic spinal cord segments (T1)

Contributions from superior (located at level of transverse processes of C2 and C3), middle (C6) and inferior cervical (stellate) ganglia (near 1st rib)

Sympathetic fibers are vasomotor, not secretomotor

Parasympathetic innervation and role not clearly delineated

33
Q

OMM tx of thyroid?

A

Lymphatics - thoracic inlet, respiratory diaphragm and other associated structures

Sympathetics – upper thoracics

  • T1 (flexed segment)
  • Clinically, may also see compensatory extended segments around T3-4

1st rib (commonly elevated) – inferior cervical (stellate) ganglion

Cervical spine – remember superior and middle cervical ganglion

Consider potential parasympathetic influences

Cranial – altered hypothalamic or pituitary function (SBS compression or other strain pattern)

Locally in region of thyroid gland to address fascial restrictions (anterior cervical fascia and attachments)

Chapman’s:
Anterior – intercostal space between the 2nd and 3rd ribs close to sternum bilaterally
Posterior – over the transverse process of T2

34
Q

What is the function of the sympathetic fibers that innervate the thyroid gland?

A

vasomotor

35
Q

type II DM, dysplipidemia, HTN = / Metabolic syndrome

A
  • Constellation of altered function including abdominal obesity, dyslipidemia, hypertension and insulin resistance and possible impaired glucose tolerance
  • involves fn of thyroid, adrenals, pancreas, liver, kidney
36
Q

arterial/venous supply of pancreas?

A

Superior and inferior pancreaticoduodenal arteries

Portal system – superior and inferior pancreaticoduodenal veins

37
Q

lymph of pancreas

A

Pancreaticosplenic and pre-aortic nodes

38
Q

ANS of pancreas?

A

Sympathetics – arise from spinal cord segments T6-9. Have vasomotor function

Parasympathetics – derived from vagus and have secretomotor function. Parasympathetic stimulation results in the secretion of:
Insulin
Bicarb
Somatostatin, glucagon

39
Q

liver fns.

A

Metabolizes, detoxifies and inactivates substances
Stores carbohydrate, lipids, vitamins and minerals
Activates some hormones (thyroid T4 conversion to T3) and vitamins

40
Q

aa/vv/ll supply of liver

A

hepatic artery

portal venous system and hepatic veins

lymph Passes to nodes above and below diaphragm

41
Q

ANS of liver

A

Sympathetics arise from spinal cord segments T6-T9. Sympathetic stimulation promotes breakdown of glycogen to glucose (increased energy)

Parasympathetics arise from vagus. Parasympathetic stimulation decreases breakdown of glycogen to glucose (decreased energy)

42
Q

aa/vv/ll supply of kidney

A

renal arteries
renal vv.
lateral aortic nodes

43
Q

ANS of kidney

A

Primarily sympathetic - arise from spinal cord segments T10-L1. Vasomotor in function. Frequently see somatic dysfunction (flexed segment) at the thoracolumbar junction

Parasympathetic role not clearly delineated. Fibers probably arise from vagus

Increased sympathetic tone to the kidney may result in:
Vasoconstriction
Enhanced Na+ reabsorption from proximal tubule cells
Increased renin secretion
Net effect – increased fluid retention and increased blood pressure

no dysmorphic figures then do tests:

  • normal bone growth for age = genetic short stature
  • bone age minimally delayed = constitutional delay
  • bone age delayed: think celiac, cushings, GH deficiency, hypotH –> refferral
51
Q

OMM in kids with GD?

A

When we treat an adult, we are removing an obstacle to function and allowing the somatosensory map to express itself. In children, we are removing obstacles to function so that the somatosensory map may be set down as optimally as possible. Motion is the key to laying down the map. During a growth spurt, the child’s body is moving (growing) quickly. This is a time of tremendous biomechanical stress, and areas that have been under stress before (somatic dysfunction, congenital abnormalities, etc) are likely to become stressed during these times. This is the ideal time to treat them with OMT. We get in there to treat the obstacles to optimal somatic motion so that they can lay down as optimal a somatic map as possible.

treat what you find

  • look at junctions
  • look at feet, ankles, hips, shoulders, cranial base
