The harlequin color change is a distinct line of red/pale color down the midline or horizontal. One-half of the body turns red and blanches; this is transient with no treatment needed. It may be due to changes in vascular tone. (Fig. 13.19A).

91
Q

Physiologic jaundice

A

a normal variation in about half of all newborns. A yellowing of the skin, sclera, and mucous membranes develops after the 3rd or 4th day of life because of the increased numbers of red blood cells that hemolyze after birth. The hemoglobin in the red blood cells is metabolized by the liver and spleen; its pigment is converted into bilirubin.

92
Q

Carotenemia

A

Carotenemia also produces a yellow-orange color in light-skinned persons but no yellowing in the sclera or mucous membranes. It comes from ingesting large amounts of foods containing carotene, a vitamin A precursor. Carotene-rich foods are popular as prepared infant foods, and the absorption of carotene is enhanced by mashing, pureeing, and cooking. The color is best seen on the palms and soles, forehead, tip of the nose and nasolabial folds, chin, behind the ears, and over the knuckles; it fades to normal color within 2 to 6 weeks of withdrawing carotene-rich foods from the diet.

Cafe au lait spot

Q

List 3 factors that affect the normal intensity of the tactile fremitus.

A
  1. Fremitus is most prominent between the scapulae and around the sternum, sites where the major bronchi are closest to the chest wall. It normally decreases as you progress down because more and more tissue impedes sound transmission.
  2. Fremitus feels greater over a thin chest wall than over an obese or heavily muscular one where thick tissue damps the vibration.
  3. A loud, low-pitched voice generates more fremitus than a soft, high-pitched one
