25
causes of anemia
blood loss, malabsorption, diet, period of increased growth, lead ingestion, prematurity
26
anemia S/S
pallor, fatigue, irritabiity. | long term - HF, developmental delays, tachycardia
27
sickle cell disease
autosomal recessive. more common i blacks and Mediterranean descent. C shaped blood cells caused by abnormal hemoglobin S. causes vaso-occlusion, ischemic tissue injury, chronic hemolytic anemia and impacts nearly every body system
28
sickle cell crisis
caused by triggering event that causes cells to sickle. pain, fever, tissue engorgement (joints, hands and feet)
29
splenic sequestration
can happen in sickle cell crisis. high mortality, blood pools in spleen and CV collapse
30
aplastic crisis
can happen in sickle cell crisis. destruction of RBCs, anemia, pallor, fatigue
31
thalassemias
inherited blood disorders. most often Mediterranean, Asian and African populations. disorder of hemoglobin synthesis.
32
beta thalassemia / Cooley's anemia
structurally impaired RBCs (fragile, hemolyze easily and do not live long), chronic hypoxia. anemia symptoms, skeletal, cardiac and liver/gallbladder changes. splenomegaly, endocrine and skin issues.
33
ALL/AML S/S
fever, pallor, ecchymosis, petechiae, bleeding, bone/joint pain, lethargy, anorexia, lymphadenopathy, fatigue
34

35
astrocytoma
35-45% of childhood brain tumors. above or below are between cerebellum and cerebrum. Seizures, visual disturbances, increased ICP, vomitting. prognosis depends on location and grading of tumor
36
ependymomas
brain tumor that presents with hydrocephalus and increased ICP, seizures, motor and sensory complaints, only slightly more than half will be long-term survivors
37
neuroblastoma
most common brain tumor outside cranium. commonly diagnosed b/t 17-22 months. s/s depends on location of tumor. treatment is chemo, radiation, surgery.
38
Hodgkin disease
disease of lymphatic system, adolescents and young adults. excellent prognosis. S/S are nontender firm lymphadenopathy, fever, night sweats, weight loss.
39

45
partial seizures
one part or one hemisphere of brain. can be simple or complex
46
simple seizure
type of partial seizure, person can respond. no loss of awareness
47
complex seizure
type of partial seizure, person cannot respond. awareness is impaired
48
absence seizures
all over body. involved both sides of brain. blankness in face like daydreaming

absence, myoclonic and tonic sizures
52

jerking and relaxing seizure
53
atonic seizures
get pale and flops
54
status epilepticus
seizure more than 5 minutes or two back to back
55
bacterial meningitis
virulent, often secondary to other infections, acutely ill child, diagnose with lumbar puncture and labs
56
viral meningitis
commonly preceded by enterovirus, B cells and protein in CSF (not bacteria), less acute than bacterial meningitis, resolves in 3-10 days, treat headache and other symptoms
57
encephaitis
inflammation/infection of the brain, caused by virus/bacteria/parasite/fungus, treat cause in ICU, sequelae develops
58
Reye syndrome
severe N/V, enlarged fatty liver, combative behavior, coma. treat in ICU. aspirin increases risk
59
gynecomastia
unilateral or bilateral breast development in male. caused by imbalance of estrogen vs testosterone. Usually takes care of itself and self limiting over 1-2 years
60
Addison disease
adrenal gland does not produce enough cortisone and aldosterone. caused by autoimmune, infection, metabolic disease. S/S - lethargy, weakness, fatigue, anorexia, emotional lability, cannot deal with stress/injury/illness and can go into crisis at any time
61
diabetes insipidus
disorder of posterior pituitary gland. inability of kidneys to concentrate urine (not holding onto water). not enough ADH or it is ineffective. S/S- polyuria and polydipsia (excessive thirst)
62
SIADH
excessive amount of ADH. excessive water reabsorption. causes hyponatremia, weight gain
63
DKA
build up of ketones causing metabolic acidosis. nausea, vomiting, dehydration, high blood glucose
64
hemophilia
missing factor 8. range of severity, spontaenous bleeding, hemarthrosis, deep tissue hemorrhage.
65
S/S of PDA, atrial septal defect or ventricular septal defect
increased HR, RR and BMR, difficulty feeding, diaphoresis, failure to thrive, CHF. if left untreated and severe: pulmonary artery HTN and RV hypertrophy
