Infancy and Childhood disease Flashcards
Denotes rupture of amnion
amniotic bands
Intrinsic abnormality
malformation
Extrinsic disturbance
deformation
Cascade of anomalies triggered by one initiating event
Sequence
Constellation of congential anomalies
syndrome
Classic syndrome of viral etiology.
Triad of cardiac abnormalities (PDA), deafness, eye abnormalities.
congenital rubella syndrome
TORCH
Toxoplasma gondii Other - HIV, Coxsackie, Parvo B19 Rubella CMV HSV
Causes downregulation of the developmentally important wingless signaling pathway
Thalidomide
Growth retardation, microcephaly, ASD, short palpebral fissures, maxillary hypoplasia
Fetal alcohol syndrome
Time period of gestation most susceptible to teratogenesis
3rd to 9th week peaking 4-5th
Teratogen that causes craniofacial abnormalities including holoprosencephaly and cyclopia
cyclopamine
Excessive exposure causes CNS, cardiac, and craniofacial defects (cleft palate)
retinoic acid (vit A metabolite)
2nd most common cause of neonatal mortality
prematurity - less than 37 weeks
ROM after 37 weeks
PROM (premature)
ROM before 37 weeks
PPROM (preterm premature)
Common risk factors of PPROM
maternal smoking prior history vaginal bleeding low socioeconomic status poor maternal nutrition
Inflammation of placental membranes seen in premature labor
chorioamnionitis
Cause of SGA resulting in asymmetrical growth retardation with relative sparing of the brain
placental causes
Causes of SGA that result in symmetric growth restriction
fetal causes (chromosomal, congenital, infections)
Risk of HMD/RDS at 32-36 weeks
20%
Risk of HMD/RDS after 36 weeks
5%
Risk of HMD/RDS less than 28 weeks
> 50%
Type II pneumocytes become maximally active after
35 WOG
Other factors contributing to HMD/RDS
maternal diabetes, cesarean delivery, neonatal asphyxia, twins
Components of surfactant
dipalmytoyl phosphatidylcholine, proteins
CXR shows uniform minute reticulocgranular densities (ground glass picture)
HMD
Disease of prematurity resulting from ischemia, bacterial colonization, or excess protein in lumen.of terminal ileum
necrotizing enterocolitis
1 minute APGAR indicates
how well the baby tolerated birthing process
5 minute APGAR indicates
how well the baby is doing outside the womb
APGAR test is based on these 5 categories:
Skin color (Appearance) Heart rate (Pulse) Reflex irritability (Grimace) Muscle tone (Activity) Breathing (Respiration)
