what are the risk factors for respiratory distress syndrome
prematurity (most important), male sex, perinatal asphyxia, maternal diabetes, C section without labor.
why does maternal diabetes cause RDS
because of high levels of insulin which antagonizes cortisol and blocks the maturity of sphingomyelin a vital component of surfactant
what is streptococcal perianal dermatitis
superficial group A strep infection. usually school aged children. presents with sharply demarcated rash around the anus. fissures are likely. itching is also likely. blood streaked stools. a close contact with strep pharyngitis is possible –patients themselves do not usually have it
what does hypoplastic thumbs, short stature, and hypo or hyperpigmented spots indicate. –usually in the context of pancytopenia
DNA repair defect –fanconis anemia
autosomal recessive
can also present with polydactyly
what is another name for Mongolian spiot
congenital dermal melanocytosis
these can be extensive.
what is the treatment for abnormal uterine bleeding
high dose OCPs are first line therapy
hyposthenuria
inability of the kidneys to concentrate urine. there will be urinary frequency, despite refraining from water intake. There will also be a low urine specific gravity.
what is hyposthenuria associatefd with
sickle cell trait
what is the presentation of primary polydipsia
hyponatremia with increased urine output excessive drinkning
what is routine screening for preterm infants
head ultrasound for intraventricular hemorrhages. many are asymptomatic. ruptured germinal matrix is the cause
what are the guidelines for head ultrasound in premature infants
<32 weeks requires ultrasound at age 1-2 weeks.
when do intraventricular hemorrhages typically occur
within the first 3-4 days of life
what are the symptoms of IVH
bulging fontanelle, anemia, apnea, seizures.
what is the treatment for intraventricular hemorrhage of the premature neonate
