Q

What is first and last sign of puberty in girls and in boys

Study These Flashcards
A

girls: breast bud development–> menarche
boys: growth in testicle size–> 10ml testes volume

20
Q

What is defined as short stature?

Study These Flashcards
A

height <2 standard deviations below the mean or outside target height- mid parental height +/- 10cm

21
Q

What can cause short height with normal velocity and with slow velocity?

Study These Flashcards
A

Normal velocity: child abuse, late onset puberty (constitutional delay), familial, medical conditions eg asthma
Slow velocity: chronic disease eg coeliac, GH deficiency, syndromes such as turners and downs, endocrine eg hypothyroid, cushings

22
Q

What can cause tall stature?

Study These Flashcards
A
  • familial
  • early/ precocious puberty
  • hyperthroid
  • giagantism
  • GH secreting adenomas
  • marfans
  • klinefelters
23
Q

Describe the clinical features that need to be present for an ASD diagnosis

Study These Flashcards
A

ALL of:
- lack of social attachments
- abnormal/ delayed receptive or expressive speech development
- abnormal or lack of symbolic play
ONE of:
- abnormal social interaction: poor eye contact, facial expressions or body language, difficulty making friends and reading social situations
- impaired social communication
- restrictive or repetitive activities
- sensory issues (only eat certain foods, not tolerate loud noises, only wear certain materials)
- self harm/ high pain threshold
Need to be present from young age (<3)

24
Q

How is suspected ASD investigated?

Study These Flashcards
A
  • school report
  • home report
  • MDT of community paediatricians, child psychiatrist, parents ansd teacher involved
25
Give 3 risk factors for ASD
- prematurity - perinatal hypoxia - advanced maternal or parental age - genetic syndromes eg fragile x syndrome
26
Give 4 differentials for ASD
- learning difficulties - attachment disorders - retts syndrome (normal development in girls up to 6 months, then regress) - schizophrenia - specific language disorders
27
How is ASD managed?
- no meds available- melatonin can be given if there are issues with sleep - behaviour management strategies: visual timetables, preparations and explanations for routine changes, 'applied behavioural analysis' - education measures: educational health care plan or statement to attend special school if needed
28
What are the 3 types of ADHD
inattentive, hyperactivity and combined
29
What are the DSM V criteria for ADHD
- If 6 of criteria are met and present before age 12 for 6 months, in more than 1 setting - inattention: easily distracted, forgetful, cant sustain attention - hyperactivity: fidgets, talks alot, on the go as if driven by motor - impulsivity: difficulty waiting turn, bursts out and answers questions before they're completed
30
How is ADHD investigated?
- clinical diagnosis - conners questionnaire answered by the parents, teachers and self if over 8yrs - Cardiovascular exam performed before starting meds - height and weight plotted on growth charts
31
Give 2 differentials for ADHD
- auditory processing disorder- trouble concentrating in presence of background noise - oppositional defiant disorder/ conduct disorder- marked features of aggression
32
How is ADHD managed?
- behavioural strategies: parent and teacher education, CBT, social skills training - methylphenidate: stimulant med, improved attention and concentration - Atomoxetine: when above is ineffective or being abused
33
What are the side effects of ADHD meds?
- raised BP - palpitations - disturbed sleep - impaired growth - appetitie surpression - lasts 6 hrs, so no benefit at home - only improves attention and concentration to allow them to achieve educational potential
34
What is child abuse
deliberate infliction of harm to a child or failure to prevent harm, and may be physical, sexual, emotional or neglect
35
List 3 child and adult risk factors for child abuse
Child: unwanted pregnancy, mother <30yrs, prematurity, chonic ill health, low birth weight, disability, child<4yrs, crying persistently Adult: poverty, mental illness, lack of support network, drugs, own child abuse, alcohol misuse, learning disability, criminal activity
36
Define neglect and describe some clinical features
Persistent failure to meet the childs basic physcial or psychological needs that is likely to result in serious impairment of the childs health or development. Eg. poor diet, obesity, poor school attendance, poor hygiene, severe infestations/ infections, inappropriate clothing, poor supervision- frequent A&E attendances, burns, many accidental injuries
37
When should physical abuse be suspected
- child <2 yrs - mechanism not compatible with injury - mechanism not possible considering childs developmental stage - significant injury with little- no explanation - inconstant history - delay in presenting to healthcare - recurrent injuries - parents reaction inappropriate (aggressive, little/ too much concern, elusive, vague) - head injury <6 months - fractures <18 months - bruises in non mobile child- esp back, face and buttock - burns
38
Give 5 differentials for bruising other than non accidental injury
- bleeding disorder - birth marks (mongolian blue spot) - vasculitis disorders - infections (sepsis,hsp) - drug related (NSAIDs) - erythema nodosum - maligancy - striae - contact dermatitis
39
How should suspected physical abuse in a child be investigated?
- full skeletal survey- check again in 2 weeks for callus - CT head - opthalmological exam for retinal haemmorhage - coagulation screen
40
How may sexual abuse present?
- allegation - anogenital injury - unexplained vaginal or anal bleeding - recurrent vaginal discharge - behaviour difficulties - pregnancy - STI
41
How may emotional abuse present?
- developmental delay - poor sleep - persistent crying, apathy - difficult behaviour/ aggression - poor school attendance - antisocial behaviour - academic failure - depression - self harm - relationship difficulties - substance abuse - eating disorders
42
What can cause global developmental delay?
- TORCH infections - genetic disorders - cerebral dysgenesis - neurocutaneou syndromes - HIE - PKU - neonatal stoke/ haemorrhage - Prem - hypothyroid - abuse / neglect - chronic illness - meningitis/ encepahlitis - seizures/ suffocation/ near drowning - head injury - hypoglycaemia - nutritional deficiency
43
How does motor developmental delay tend to present
- around 18 months - hand dominance before 1 yr - late walking - loss of motor skills - balance problems - poor head control/ sitting
44
What may cause abnormal motor developement?
- CP - congenital myopathy - muscular dystrophy - spinal cord lesion - familial slow to walk
45
What may cause speech and lang delay?
- hearing loss/ impairment - cleft palate/lip - oromotor problems (CP) - environemntal deprivation/ poor social interaction/ neglect - normal variant
46
What may cause slow cognitive development?
- learning disability - specific learning difficulty (dyslexia, dyscalculus etc) - poor vision/ hearing
