Moro reflex

most commonly fractured bone during delivery

clavicle

defect in the lid (small notch to a large cleft)

coloboma

incomplete closure of branchial clefts

branchial cleft cyst

cystic dilatation of thyroglossal duct remnants; seen in the midline

thyroglossal duct cyst

herniation without a sac; defect lateral to the umbilius

gastroschisis

urethral opening on the dorsal penis

epispadia

urethral opening on the ventral penis; more common

hypospadia

accumulation of fluid in the tunica vaginalis; resolves by 12mos old

hydrocele

timing of surgery in undescended testes

not later than 9-15mos old(majority descends in the first 3mos; if not; it will remain undescended)

aka IUGR;BW<3rd percentile

SGA

symmetric IUGR;earlier onset

associated with dse seriously affects fetal cell number like chromosomal; genetic malformation; teratogenc; infectious; severe maternal HTN

assymetric IUGR;late onset

associated with poor maternal nutrition or late onset/exacerbation of maternal vascular dse

hypoglycemic; plethora; increase risk of: RDS; congenital heard dse; lumbosacral agenesis; hyperbilirubinemia

LGA

increased surface tension causes alveolar collpase and V/Q mismatch and hypoia; seen in preterms

RDS I

term; delivered by C-section; resolves in 4-5days; overaeration and flat diaphragm

Transient Tachypnea of the newbord (RDS II)

causes pulmonary hypoplasia; scaphoid abdomen; bowel sounds heard over the chest

breast milk jaundice

how to reduce incidence of breastfeeding jaundice

frequent breastfeeding(>10/24hrs); rooming-in with night feeding; discouraging D5% or water supplementation; ongoing lactation support

sepsis/TORCHS; prolonged TPN; hypothyroidism; galactosemia; cystic fibrosis; alpha-1-antitrypsin deficiency

extrahepatic causes of direct hyperbilirubinemia

choledochal cyst; biliary atresia

most common cause of hemolytic disease in the NB; most cases are mild; jaundice; mild hepatosplenomegaly; phototherapy is benificial

ABO incompatibility

rarely occurs in the 1st pregnancy due to too late for the mother to become sensitized and transmit antibody to her infant before delivery

Rh incompatibility

(-) Coomb's test with normal/decreased Hb and normal reticulocyte counts in indirect hyperbilirubinemia

enclosed hemorrhage;increased enterohepatic circulation;decreased calories(breastfeeding jaundice);disorders of conjugation(breastmilk jaundice)

(-) Coomb's test with normal/decreased Hb and increased reticulocyte count in indirect hyperbilirubinemia

with characteristic rbc morpholgy(spherocytosis;elliptocytosis); with noncharacteristic RBC morphology(G6PD deficiency; purvate kinase deficiency)

early sepsis

birth to 7th day of life

late sepsis

8th to 28day of life

risk factors for developing neonatal sepsis

maternal infection during pregnancy; PPROM(18hrs); prematurity(MC predisposing factor for infxn)

common organisms implicated in sepsis

GBS; E. coli; Listeria monocytogenes; HSV; enteroviruses

gold standard in the diagnosis of neonatal sepsis

blood and urine cultures

Tx for neonatal sepsis

ampicillin + 3rd gen cephalosporin or aminoglycoside; supportive

infection from ingestion of infected raw meat; handling cat feces

Toxoplasmosis

classic triad of toxoplasmosis

HYDROCEPHALUS; chorioretinitis; intracranial calcifications

Tx for Toxoplasmosis

Late stage(>2yrs) syphilis

Tc for syphilis

Penicillin

most common life threatening emergency of the GIT in neonates

NEC

location of NEC

distal ileum and proximal colon

greatest risk factor in developing NEC

prematurity

initially presents as abdominal distention; gastric retention; lethargy; temperature instability; bloody stools in 25% of patients; progresses to bowel perforation; peritonitis; SIRS; shock; death
