Q

Obesity RF:

A
    • maternal wt at start of pregnancy
  • *pregnancy wt gain
    • maternal DM
  • *maternal smoking
    • IUGR
  • *LGA
    • genetics= parental obesity (more about genetics than envirn’t alone)
  • *Low SES (vs. developing nation more link with high SES)

Protective:

  • BF
  • higher maternal education

Provide one example of a dx that causes obesity in each GAMET category:

A

GAMET=
- Genetic= abN P/E
> Prader Willi Syn (neo low tone, small hand/feet, IQ, hypogonad)
> Bardet Biedl (polydactyly, hypogonad, retinal)
> Alstorem (DM + eye+ IQ)

  • Monogenic (CC in < 6 mo. b/c no satiety)
    > MC4R defect (Leptin deficiency)
  • Hypothalamic Tumour
    > Hypopituitarism
- Endo (not gaining ht)
> Cushing
> GH deficiency
> Hyperinsulinemism
> Hypothyroidism
  • Acquired (highly heritable)

Constitutional: normal till 6-9 mo then fall off and catch up at end); normal velocity in the middle

Prenatal: start and stay parallel ++ below

  • Prenatal: born small, dysmorphic etc.
    > Russell Silver, Turner, SHOX deficiency
  • Post-natal: chronic dx (wt off first) vs. endo (CNS, hormone = ht off)
    > hypothyroidism, GH deficiency, CNS

Q

Take a paper and fill out DI vs SIADH vs CSW table.

  • Definition
  • Serum Na
  • Urine vol
  • Urine Na
  • Serum Osm
  • Fluid balance
  • Tx
A 
DI:
= less ADH (either release or response from kidney)
- +++ Na
- +++ U/O
(-) Urine Na
Serum Osm +++
Fluid balance (-)
= Fluid + Correct Na + Decompression or vasopressin IV
SIADH:
= too much ADH
(-) Na
(-) U/O
Urine Na N/(+)
Serum  Osm (-)
Fluid balance (+)
Appear euvolemic
= Fluid restrict, slow na replacement
CSW:
= Renal Na+ loss with no renal Na absorption
(-) Na
\++ U/O
Urine Na (+)
Serum Osm N
Fluid balance (-)
Clinically dehydrated
= replace fluid + Na
No fluid restrict

A

DKA

208
Q

Called in ED to see pt with T1DM on pump. Current BG 20. Urine ketone negative.

  • Give basal rate
  • Bolus 1 U per 12g
  • TDD= 40 U

Tx:

  • low carb diet, no extra insulin
  • start IV infusion 0.05 U/kg/hour
  • D/C pump and given rapid 2U
  • Use pump to give 5 U bolus
A

Use pump to give 5 U

“In general give 10-20% of TDD”

  • no ketone= no DKA= don’t need infusion
  • need more insulin seen even without carb need more sugar (to account for pain, less activity if injury)
  • 2 U insufficient
  • Correct Factor= 100/40= ~2 so 1 unit drop BG by 2.
    So need at least 5 units.
