Q

What are important psychosocial contributors to obesity?

A

Basically any stressors that trigger emotional eating:1. Being bullied: can increase emotional eating and also lead to an avoidance of physical activity as they don’t want to be seen exercising2. Suffering neglect and maltreatment3. Living situation where consistency, limit setting and supervision are lacking4. Inadequate sleep thus leading to overeating5. High levels of stress: impedes consistent physical activity, overactivated hypothalamic-pituitary axis results in increased cortisol which induces intra abdominal adiposity, insulin resistance and metabolic syndrome6. Poverty

Q

What are the recommendations for physical activity in children with hemophilia?

A
  1. Should receive appropriate factor prophylaxis to reduce risk of bleeding in sport2. Should undergo vigilant assessment of joint and muscle function before sport selection. May need restricftions3. Should be carefully assessed before participation in contact or collision sports (consult with sports med or peds hematologist)4. Require written strategies before sport participation t prevent or treat bleeds5. Should wear protective equipment, undergo physical therapy or take prophylactic factor replacement therapy6. Require factor replacement, ice, splinting and rest to manage acute bleeds and avoid physical activity until joint pain or swelling has resolved
23
Q

How can you diagnose exercise induced bronchospasm?

A

Do an exercise challenge PFT: if there is a drop in 10-15% in FEV1 from baseline following virorous exercise x 6-8 minutes, this is diagnostic of EIB

24
Q

True or false: bronchial hyper-responsiveness decreases with decreasing hours of exercise per week in asthmatic patients.

A

FALSE!!! It’s the opposite! The more you exercise per week, the less your bronchioles will be hyper-responsive! Exercise increases the threshold for triggering bronchospasm. So exercise is good for children with asthma

25
Q

What are the physical activity recommendations for children with asthma?

A
  1. Can participate in any physical activity if symptoms are well controlled. Know that swimming is less likely to trigger exercise induced bronchospasm than running2. Keep an accurate history of symptoms, trigger exposures, treatments and course of recovery from episodes of bronchospasm3. Should get an exercise challenge PFT to formally diagnose EIB4. Use leukotriene inhibitors, inhaled corticosteroids and long acting beta 2 agonists for optimal long term disease control and avoid overuse of short acting beta 2 agonists5. Should take ventolin 15-30 mins before exercise6. Should not scuba dive if they have asthma symptoms or abnormal PFTs7. Those who compete nationally/internationally require therapeutic use exemption with confirmation of their asthma to use certain meds
26
Q

What testing is recommended in athletes to diagnose exercise induced bronchospasm?

A

Eucapnic voluntary hyperventilation testing

27
Q

What are the potential benefits of exercise in CF patients?-potential risks?

A
  1. High aerobic fitness results in slower deterioration in lung function and greater survival rates2. Enhanced lung mucous clearance during intense exercise3. Improves strength of resp musclesPotential risks:1. Oxygen desaturation/CO2 retention2. Cardiac dysfunction from CF resulting in lower cardiac output3. Decreased exercise tolerance due to decreased muscle mass/strength from chronic malnutrition4. Hyponatremic dehydration from sweat-related salt losses5. CF related diabetes causing hypoglycemia6. Portal hypertension and splenomegaly increases risk of splenic damage during contact or collision sports
28
Q

What are the physical activity recommendations for children with CF?

A
  1. Should be encouraged to participate in any physical activity. Consult sports med or peds resp first2. Should have individualized exercise programs that include strength training3. Require home exercises that increase HR by 70-80% of max to increase aerobic exercise tolerance4. Don’t stop activity just because they’re coughing5. Should ABSOLUTELY 100% avoid scuba diving (increases risk of air embolism/pneumothorax)6. Those with severe CF should undergo exercise testing first7. Should drink flavored sodium chloride containing fluids above thirst levels to prevent hyponatremic dehydration8. Avoid contact or collision sports if enlarged spleen or diseased liver from portal hypertension
29
Q

What are ways to prevent and treat hypoglycemia while at school?

A
  1. Reguarly scheduled meals and snacks with adequate time to eat them2. Adjust food intake or insulin doses for increased physical activity. This will mean an extra glucose check and/or snack before physical activity3. Clean area for blood glucose checks where hands can be cleaned with a sharps container to discard test strips and lancets4. Supervising young children in ways that help them recognize, treat and prevent hypoglycemia5. All children need easy access to their emergency kit (with glucose meter, fast acting sugar source, extr snacks, etc.)6. For older teens/children, may need accommodations for tests or exams since hypoglycemia affects test performance
30
Q

What are 4 potential barriers to safe and effective management of hypoglycemia in schools?

A
  1. Incomplete training of school personnel2. Unscheduled activity and inactivity3. Altered meal or snack times4. Lack of rapid access to emergency kit
31
Q

True or false: school absenteeism is significantly higher in children with diabetes compared with other children.

A

FALSE!!! It is not significantly higher, with the exception of absences for regular medical appointments

32
Q

What can health care providers give to parents to give to schools to ensure a child with T1DM gets the best possible care?

A

Individual care plan should be up to date and provided to the schools!!!-should clearly outline roles and responsibilities of school personnel, parents and the child with diabetes and this should occur before the start of the school year

33
Q

How much time should a student with T1DM who has just experienced a hypoglycemic episode during an exam be given to recover before being expected to get back to the test?

A

30-60 minutes-should always keep an emergency kit at their desk during an exam

34
Q

Delaying the introduction of bodychecking in elite male competitive leaves until players are 13-14 yo (bantam level)3. Recommend that boys play in recreational/non elite hockey leagues that do not allow body checking***Girls and young women leagues already have no bodychecking rules
37
Q

What is the most common cause of hockey-related injuries?

38
Q

What is the definition of a concussion?

A

Pathophysiological process affecting the brain induced by biomechanical forces resulting in the rapid onset of short-lived neurological impairment that resolves spontaneously.

39
Q

In adults and older adolescents, how long do concussion symptoms take to resolve? In younger children?

A

-Most resolve in 7-10 days-In younger children, can take weeks to months

40
Q

What are the cognitive effects of concussion (3)?

A
  1. Decreased attention and concentration2. Reduced information processing speed3. Impaired memory and learning
41
Q

What is malignant brain edema syndrome?

A

-aka second impact syndrome-Rare complication of head injury in children and adolescents-caused by loss of autoregulation in brain’s blood supply causing increased ICP and brain stem herniation

42
Q

If there is loss of consciousness following a head injury, what should be suspected?

A

-Cervical spine injury-Should take appropriate cervical spine precautions on transfer to hospital

43
Q

On history-taking for possible concussion, what are key questions to ask in order to identify patients at higher risk for prolonged recovery (5)?

A
  1. Previous history of head or facial injuries (including diagnosed concussions)2. History of headaches or migraines in the patient and in the family3. Mental health issues4. Sleeping difficulties5. Learning disabilities or ADHD
44
Q

When should athletes be allowed to return to sport after a concussion?

A

When symptom free and medically cleared-concussed athletes may increase risk for having another concussion or injury given cognitive impairments

45
Q

How long should a concussed athlete be monitored by an adult and for what signs (3)?

A

-Need to be monitored for 24-48 hrs after injury-Counsel to look for severe headache, persistent vomiting, seizure activity-Should check on them during the night but don’t wake them unless there is vomiting, seizure activity or difficulty breathing

A
  1. Focal neurological deficit2. Prolonged unconsciousness3. Seizure activity
47
Q

What is the thought on neuropsychological testing in concussion?

A

Routine baseline testing is not recommended since kids are always developing rapidly and thus baseline tests would have to be repeated every 6 months for post-test to be useful

48
Q

In which concussion population would you recommend Neuropsychological testing?

A

-Multiple concussions-Prolonged postconcussive symptoms

49
Q

What are the stages of graduated return to learn protocol?

A

OVERALL, RETURN TO LEARN SHOULD PRECEDE RETURN TO SPORT1. Cognitive rest - no school, limit cognitive tasks and screen time at home2. Increase cognitive tasks - slowly increase cognitive tasks at home in 15-20 min increments3. Resume modified school attendance - half-days or only certain classes (avoid gym, music, shop). Homework x 15-20 min blocks4. Increase school attendance - full days with specific accommodations (frequent breaks, tests with unlimited time)5. Return to play - once symptom-free and back to full-time school without accommodations, can start with graduated return to play

50
Q

What are the stages of graduated return to play protocol?

A
  1. No activity - for recovery (should do this until symptom free for 7-10 days)2. Light aerobic exercise - increase heart rate (walking, swimming, stationary cycling)3. Sport-specific exercise - add movement (drills)4. Noncontact training drills - more complex drills5. Full contact practice - following medical clearance6. Return to play - normal game play
