Mod 6/7: Development, Pediatric, Oncology, Autoimmune, Genetic Disorders Flashcards
incompatibility of blood types between mother & fetus
Rhesus Disease/Hemolytic Disease of Newborn
X-linked disorder affecting blood-clotting mechanism; causes internal bleeding
hemophilia
Name 2 types of muscular dystrophy. Which is more severe?
Duchenne’s (more severe) than Becker’s
abnormalities of blood’s hemoglobin where RBCs can’t carry oxygen d/t abnormal shape
sickle cell disease
LMN disease (autosomal recessive disorder): progressive degeneration of anterior horn of spinal cord and motor neurons which lead to mm atrophy and weakness
spinal muscular atrophy
congenital heart disease d/t oxygenated/deoxygenated blood mixing within heart;
w/ possible defects: ventricular septic defect, R ventricular hypertrophy, pulmonary valve stenosis
Tetralogy of Fallot
autosomal disorder where gene mutations cause abnormal collagen synthesis
osteogenesis imperfecta/ “brittle bone disease”
missing/incomplete limbs at birth d/t blood clots or amniotic band syndrome
congenital abnormalities
facial tissues don’t join in development ( a neural tube issue)
cleft palate or cleft lip
tilted head b/c abnormal intrauterine position or breech delivery
congenital torticollis
X-linked recessive disorder causing progressive proximal mm weakness d/t abnormal dystrophin production
Duchenne muscular dystrophy
s/s: Gower sign, gastroc pseudohypertrophy, LE mm atrophy before UE, abnormal ECG
Duchenne muscular dystrophy
s/s: fatigue, hypotonia, weakness, skeletal mm wasting, restrictive lung disease
spinal muscular atrophy
group of disorders that affect growing skeleton & bone epiphysis b/c abnormal growth or overuse
osteochondroses
ischemic necrosis that leads to flattening of femoral head
Legg-Calve-Perthes Disease
s/s: persistent thigh/knee pain, decreased ROM, limping, mm atrophy, unequal leg length
Legg-Calve-Perthes Disease
excess CSF accumulates & compresses brain tissue and blood vessels
hydrocephalus
forms of myelodysplasia: defective development of any part of the spinal cord (neural tube defect)
spina bifida
non-fusion of spinous process of vertebrae, but SC & meninges are intact (no neural deficit)
spina bifida occulta
______ = cyst-like protrusion through non-fused vertebrae:
_____: herniation of meninges & CSF into sac that protrudes through vertebral defect
_____: herniation of meninges, CSF & SC extending through defect in vertebrae
spina bifida cystica:
-meningocele
-myelomeningocele
s/s: motor loss below level of defect, sensory deficits, hydrocephalus, Arnold-Chiari malformation, osteoporosis, clubfoot, scoliosis, tethered cord syndrome, bowel/bladder dysfunction, learning disabilities
spina bifida
movement disorders d/t acquired brain damage in uterus, birth or infancy (til age 2)
cerebral palsy
s/s: (variable) abnormal mm tone, impaired movement modulation, abnormal reflexes, impaired mobility
cerebral palsy
cerebral palsy motor patterns (3):
-motor cortex or UMN Lesion
-basal ganglia lesion
-cerebellum involved
-spastic
athetoid
ataxic
traction injury during breech delivery, usually to brachial plexus
Erb’s Palsy
whiplash injury that causes intracranial/intraocular bleeding
shaken baby syndrome
insufficient surfactant so lungs collapse during exhalation; cause atelectasis or severe hypoxia)
infant respiratory distress syndrome
lateral spinal curvature: can be functional, neuromuscular or degenerative
scoliosis
fracture of pars interarticularis (around L5/S1)
spondylolysis
anterior slippage of one vertebrae on another
spondylolisthesis
