Evoked oto acoustic emission
USED in new borns
looks at the cochlear function and if its nromal
Auditory brainstem response (ABR)
series of auditory stimuli - computed analysis of EEG waveforms
Age for distraction test
7-9 months
visual reinforcemnet audiometry
10-18 months
Discrimination test
18 - 4 months
When can u do audiometry
greater than 4 years
SHOCK
Early vs. LATE Early - increase - heart and lung - Skin - decrease skin tugor, mottled , pale and cold - Sunken - eyes and fontelle - decrease urine output
Late - ACIDOSIS - kusmaual brething - BRADYCARDIA Hypotensive Confusion Blue pheriphery NO URINE OUTPUT
status epilepticus treatment
we know this is a seziure or multiple sezirues greater than 30 minutres or longer
Lorazepam IV or diazepam PR or midoazolam buccal
Paraldehyde in 10 minutes
Phenytonin
Phenobarbital
Thiopental
PCIU
what do you do if development is abnormal you want to
check bone age
pelvic ultrasound
what does short stature mean
2 centile below the normal height
Genetiic target centile
mean of the mom and dad THEN
Boys - + 7 cm (+/- 10cm)
Girls - 7cm (+/- 8.5cm
What thyroid condition causes short stature
Automimmune thyroiditis - growth failur and wieght gain
What chronic illness and chromosomal illness cuase short starture
Chomosomal
- Turners
- Downs
- noon
- Russell Silver Syndrome
Chronic
- celiac
chrons and
chronic renal failure
Laron syndrome
this is EXTREME short stature
Laron-type dwarfism, is an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by an insensitivity to growth hormone (GH), usually caused by a mutant growth hormone receptor.
TREAT WITH IGF-1 (expensive but works)
abnormality in the SHOX
(short stature homobox) - located at the X chromosome and leads to short stature with skeletal abnormalities
Tuners - one SHOX MISSIN
Klienfielters - one additional SHOX - talller
You get one copy from each of your parents
syndromes ass . w/ tall stature
long legged tall stature Merphan syndrom Homocystinuria klienfelters Syndrome Portionate tall stature at birth - marphans, hyperinsulinesim , beckwidt Sotos syndrome
Sotos syndrome
Large head and neck
facial characteristic
learning difficulties
secondary cause of tall stature
Hyperthyroidism
Excess sex steroids - percious puberty
Excess adrenal steroids
True Giatism (excess GH steroid)
when does posterior fontelle close
8 weeks
when does anterior fontelle close
12 - 18 months
causes of microcephaly
below the 2nd centile -FAMILIA AR CONGENITAL INFECTION AQUIRED INSULT _ CP and seziure
MACROCEPHALY
tall stature FAmiliaal Increase ICP Hydrocephalus Chronic subdural heamatoma Cerebral tumor NF Sotos syndrome CNS storage disorder (hurler syndrome
Assymetrical heads
Skull assymetry - results from an imblance
plagiocephaly - flat base from lying on head
Causes of prenicious puberty
GT dependent - central / true
- Idiopathic / familial
- CNS abnormalities (congenital, post irraiation, infection, sx or tumor )
- hypothyroidism
GT non dependent - ovarian - testicular exogenous sex steroids Adrenal disease
Treatment of prenicious puberty
GNRH dependent - GNRH analgous
GNRH independent - medoxyprogesterone , cypoterone acetate , testolactone , ketoconazole
