Pregnant women who are more than 20 weeks’ pregnant and develop chickenpox should be started on a course of aciclovir provided that they present within 24 hours of the onset of symptoms. Pregnant women are at increased risk of the complication of varicellazoster virus (pneumonia, hepatitis, encephalitis) and, if they develop chickenpox before 20 weeks’ gestation, there is a small chance that the baby will be born with congenital varicella syndrome.

Q

Pathophys of CAH (just to understand)

A

deficiency of a certain enzyme within the adrenal steroid synthesis pathway leads to a low output of cortisol. This, in turn, leads to increased ACTH secretion from the anterior pituitary gland in an attempt to compensate. The ACTH stimulates the adrenalglands and, as cortisol cannot be produced, it leads to the shunting of the precursors towards sex steroid production. The elevated circulating levels of sex steroids leads to virilisation in female infants(e.g. hypertrophy of the clitoris) and enlarged penises in male infants. They may also have a pigmented scrotum. If aldosterone secretion is also affected, it would result in serious electrolyte derangements.

Q

Types of CAH and how they present (just to understand)

A

Most cases of CAH are caused by 21-hydroxylase deficiency. If the deficiency is complete, they will present soon after birth with abnormal genitalia or a salt-losing crisis. Around 1/20 cases are caused by 11-beta hydroxylase deficiency. The condition is generally milder andmay present with virilisation of female genitalia, precocious puberty, hypertension and hypokalaemia. 17-hydroxylase deficiency is a very rare form of CAH. It often causes hypertension and may have hypokalaemia.

236
Q

Pathophys of PDA and how it closes spontaneously (just to understand)

A

The foetus circulation is specially designed to bypass the lungs (which are non-functional in utero). After birth, this circulation must rapidly reconfigure as the lungs become responsible for oxygenating the blood. The ductus arteriosus is a connection between the pulmonary trunk and the aorta which allows blood from the pulmonary artery to pass into the aorta thereby bypassing the lungs. At birth, the rise in pulmonary vascular resistance leads to an increase in concentration of oxygen in the blood and subsequent decrease in prostaglandins, causing closure of the ductus arteriosus. If the ductus arteriosus remains patent, there is abnormal transmission of blood from the aorta in tothe pulmonary artery due to the increased pressure in the left side of the heart at birth.

How to differentiate between conduct disorder and oppositional deficant disorder

A

Oppositional defiant disorder (ODD) can be differentiated from conduct disorder based on the nature of the child’s behaviour. Children with conduct disorder may be more aggressive and violent towards other individuals or animals.

Children with ODD on the other hand tend to only behave badly in the presence of authoritative figures such as teachers and parents.

256
Q

Way to calculate gravida and parity

A

A simple way to remember gravidity and parity is ‘Got pregnant, Pushed a baby’. To calculate gravidity, all pregnancies are counted, regardless of the outcome. This woman has had 8 pregnancies, including the current pregnancy. To calculate parity, all babies birthed after 24 weeks’ gestation are counted, even if the baby is stillborn. Therefore, this woman is para 3 due to her two children and 1 previous stillbirth at38 weeks’ gestation. One area of contention is the notation for multiple pregnancies. Many doctors and midwives will not follow this, but the correct way is to count multiple birth as a single event(e.g. a woman who has given birth to twins is G1P1).

257
Q

first step in assessing a patient who has presented with reduced foetal movements

A

auscultate the foetal heartbeat using a handheld Doppler. I

Q

How to know what type of twin pregnancy it is? LEARN THIS

A

The time at which the developing zygote divides corresponds with the chorionicity of the developing pregnancy. If the zygote divides before day 4 after fertilisation, it will become a dichorionic diamniotic pregnancy. If it divides between day 4 and 8, it will become a monochorionic diamniotic twin pregnancy. Between days 8 and 12 it will become monochorionic monoamniotic, and after day 13 it will result in conjoined twins. There is no such thing as dichorionic monoamniotic twins.

Q

Types of spina bifida (just be aware)

A

Spina bifida occulta belongs to a spectrum of neural tube defects that occur due to failure of fusion of the neural tube during intrauterine life. Spina bifida is often an incidental X-ray finding, however, there may be an overlying lesion such as a tuft of hair, a birthmark, a lipoma or a dermal sinus. Tethered spinal cord syndrome may be a complication of spina bifida where the inelastic tissue of the caudal spine is fixed and may cause an insidious onset of symptoms such as lower back pain, gait disturbance, scoliosis, high-arched feet and neurological dysfunction (bladder and bowel).

A meningocele is the herniation of the meninges between the vertebrae forming a sac containing cerebrospinal fluid. The sac does not contain any neural tissue so neurology is normal however, the sac is at risk of rupture which could lead to meningitis and hydrocephalus.

Myelomeningocele is the most severe form of spina bifida which occurs when the spinal cord protrudes through an opening in an unfused portion of the spinal column. This can be associated with severe neurological complications such as paresis, talipes, neuropathic bowel and bladder andhydrocephalus.

330
Q

Undescended testicles (be aware)

A

It is relatively common for a male child to be born with a single undescended testicle. In cases of unilateral undescended testicles, given there are no other abnormalities suggestive of disorders of sexual development, no urgent intervention is required as the testicle often migrates into the scrotum over time. If, at 6 weeks, the testicle is still undescended, the infant should be reviewed at 4-5 months. At this point, if the testicle has still not descended into the scrotum, they should be referred to a paediatric urologist and should be seen before 6 months of age. This may also be done to differentiate between an undescended and retractile testicle. Finally, an orchidopexy may be performed in order to fix the testicle within the scrotum. If bilateral undescended testes are suspected, this would warrant an urgent referral to a paediatrician within 24 hours, to allow for genetic and endocrine testing. Undescended testes are a cause of concern due to the implications on fertility and the future risk of testicular cancer.
