what is an umbilical grnauloma
An umbilical granuloma is an overgrowth of tissue which occurs during the healing process of the umbilicus. It is most common in the first few weeks of life. On examination, a small, red growth of tissue is seen in the centre of the umbilicus. It is usually wet and leaks small amounts of clear or yellow fluid. It is treated by regular application of salt to the wound, if this does not help then the granuloma can be cauterised with silver nitrate.
threadworm how to treat
one of dose of mevendazole for whole fmaily and hygiene measures
most common cause of cardiac arrest in children
resp causes such as bronchiolitis - crackles,wheezing and increased respiraotry effort, hypoxia, history of poor feeding, cough and fever
sx of threadworms
perianal itching, particularly at night

An 18-year-old male presents to his local GP surgery. He is due to start university in two months time and has been told by his friends that he should ‘have a vaccine’ before he starts. He identifies himself as ‘White British’, has no past medical history of note and is due to study history at the University of Birmingham. Which one of the following vaccines should he be offered as part of routine NHS immunisation?

prodome of raised temperature pre illness
chickenpox
post fever in chcikenpox what comes next and how does the rash present
itchy, rash starting on head/trunk before spreading. Initially macular then papular then vesicular
pyloric stenosis what metabolic abnromality
Hypochloremic hypokalemic metabolic alkalosis
The most likely diagnosis here is pyloric stenosis. Due to vomiting up stomach contents which is acidic (hydrogen chloride - HCl), the patient will be hypochloraemic. Potassium is also lost in the vomitus.

jaundice is more common in breastfed babies
mechanism is not fully understood but thought to be due to high concentrations of beta-glucuronidase → increase in intestinal absorption of unconjugated bilirubin

due to immature liver function
increased risk of kernicterus

explanation of oro-motor porblems and athetoid movemnt in dyskinetic cerebral palsy
The athetoid movements are shown in this stem by the slow writhing movements of his hands and feet and also the difficulty of holding onto objects. Patients with dyskinetic cerebral palsy experience difficulty in holding objects due to fluctuating muscle tone. The oro-motor problems are evidenced by this child’s drooling.

At what age would the average child start to say ‘mama’ and ‘dada’?
9-10mon
A mother presents with her baby to the GP for review. She asks for advice regarding her milestones and explains that her son was born was born prematurely at 32 weeks gestation.
With the premature age in mind, when should this baby begin to show a responsive social smile?
6 to 8 weeks is the normal age when a child should show a responsive smile. The reference range of the corrected age is 40 weeks. In this case, the baby was born at 32 weeks gestation which means 8 weeks have to be backdated. So 14 to 16 weeks is the answer.
The corrected age is taken into consideration when looking at milestones until the age of 2.
