Q

This cast of the bronchial tree is formed of inspissated mucus and was coughed up by a patient with what pathology? [1]

A

Asthma:

The outpouring of mucus from hypertrophied bronchial submucosal glands, the bronchoconstriction, and dehydration all contribute to the formation of mucus plugs that can block airways in asthmatic patients.

A

Which pathogen cause this histopathological slide

CMV
T. gondii
Parvovirus B19

The pink intranuclear inclusions in the erythroid precursors seen here are characteristic for parvovirus infection. Parvovirus, or “fifth disease” is a self-limited infection that can produce a “slapped cheek” appearance of a rash in children, and often goes unnoticed in adults. However, pregnant mothers can pass the virus to the fetus, and a severe anemia with fetal hydrops and intrauterine demise can result.

Q

Explain pathophysiology of Type 2 IUGR [1] Which maternal pathologies is it associated with? [3]
When does in pregnancy does it usually occur? [1]
How do neonates appear? [1]
WHat do neonates have reduced growth in? [2]

A

Caused by uteroplacental insufficiency: uterus not providing enough nutrition for fetus. Associated with: maternal HTN / pre-eclampsia; renal disease; vasculapathies
Growth restriction begins after week 28 in stage of hypertrophy : Fetus has near normal cell number but size reduced
Asymmetry seen: head sized normal, but redistribution of fetal CO causes reduced abdomen and splachnic growth, whilst brain is spared.

A

Fundal height: Pubic symphysis to top of where can palpate uterus / fundus Exam Q!

Q

What complications of IUGR would you expect in antepartum period? [2]

A

Increased incidence of still births (52% of unexplained still births – die in utero)
Oligohydramnios (esp. type 2 - kidneys haven’t formed properly)

Q

What complications of IUGR would you expect in intrapartum period? [2]

A

Higher incidence of meconium aspiration:: Fetal distress

Intrapartum fetal death

Q

What complications of IUGR would you expect in neonatal period? [5]

A

Increased incidence of hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy: heart not developed so o2 to brain is insufficient
Persistent fetal circulation insufficiency (patent ductus arteriosus - all O2 blood is mixed with deO2 - leads to hypoxia)
Difficulty in temperature regulation: Absent brown fat and small body mass to surface area in type 2
Poor glycogen stores may predispose to hypoglycemia
Chronic intrauterine hypoxia lead to polycythemia, necrotizing enterocolitis, other metabolic abnormalities

Q

A

Cerebral palsy

Q

Which mothers at more risk of givng birth of IUGR babies? [5]

* Cell size: normal

Type 2 IUGR:
* Cell number: normal
* Cell size: reduced

Q

What is normal v abnormal cerebral: placenta ratio? [2]

What does this indicate? [1]

A

cerebroplacental ratio: >1:1 is normal and <1:1 is abnormal
<1 = abnormal

Indicates more flow to cerebral atery than placenta (and therefore brain sparing)

Q

Explain how you manage IUGR [5]

Maternal oxygen therapy? [1]
Bed rest position? [1]
Drugs? [1]

A

Identify etiology of IUGR then treatment of underlying cause:

Stop smoking, alcohol, protein energy supplementation, hypertension

Bed rest in left lateral position increases uteroplacental blood flow

Maternal oxygen therapy
55% O2 at 8L/min round the clock decreases perinatal mortality rate

No pharmacological therapy which can reverse IUGR
Delivery

Risk of prematurity versus risk of intrauterine death has to be judged

Antenatal steroids reduces incidence of respiratory distress syndrome, intraventricular hemorrhage and death for fetus of <1500g

Q

Adequate vitamin D reduces which pathologies? [3]

A

Adequate vitamin D reduces:
- sepsis
- ROP
- delayed retinal maturation

Q

Describe the pathology of Intraventricular hemorrhage / periventricular leukomalacia:

What birth weight babies most likely? [1]
What is pathophysiology? [1]
Which disease is a risk factor for this? [1]

A

Intraventricular hemorrhage / periventricular leukomalacia:

VLBW (less than 1500g) at greatest risk
Resp. distress syndrome 4x more likely
Pathology: blood vessels in the preterm may be more fragile and immature and cause small to large bleeds in brain ventricles

Q

What does Intraventricular hemorrhage / periventricular leukomalacia look like on ultrasound? [1]

A

Honeycombed

Q

Describe physiology of retinal blood vessels in normal fetus:

when does it normally start & complete by? [2]
Which directions do the retinal blood vessels grow? [1]
What condition within the eye controls normal retinal development? [1]

A

Retinal blood vessel development starts at around 16 weeks and is complete by 37 – 40 weeks gestation.

The blood vessels grow from the middle of the retina to the outer area.

This vessel formation is stimulated byhypoxiawhich is a normal condition in the retina during pregnancy

Q

Explain pathology behind retinopathy of prematurity

A

Normal conditions: vessel formation is stimulated byhypoxiawhich is a normal condition in the retina during pregnancy

Pre-term baby causes exposure to higher oxygen concentrations, particularly with supplementary oxygen during medical care, the stimulant for normal blood vessel development is removed

When the hypoxic environment recurs, the retina responds by producing excessive blood vessels (neovascularisation), as well as scar tissue.

These abnormal blood vessels mayregressand leave the retina without a blood supply. The scar tissue may causeretinal detachment

Q

What specific nutritional support do you give pre-term babies? [3]

A

Decreased activity compared to normal weight babies may decrease energy requirements.

Need lots of protein and calcium and phosphorous to build skeletons and muscles

Q

Which nutritional things would you screen for in pre-term babies? [2]

A

Hyperglycemia (poorly developed pancreas; immature insulin secretion)

Osteopenia (limited Ca & P in parentral nutrition)

Q

Explain pathophysiology of necrotising enterocolitis [2]

How serious? [1]

A

Part of the bowel becomes necrotic due to bacterial invasion of ischaemic bowell wall:

Causes large amount of gas in bowel: can cause perforation of bowel: leads to peritonitis & sepsis

It is a life threatening emergency

Q

Treatment of necrotising enterocolitis? [3]

A

Stop oral feeding
Broad spectrum antibiotics covering both aerobic and anaerobic species
Surgery to remove perforated sections

Q

Why do pre-term babies have increased fluid loss? [2]

What is important to consider when rehydrating? [1]

A

Have not developed skin with less keratin – so get more loss of water from skin. Easy to become dehydrated AND increased body surface to body mass ratio increases fluid loss

BUT don’t want to give too much water and disrupt electrolyte balance (can cause congestive heart failure, necrotising enterocolitis and mortality)

Q

Compare the flow between A & C of this doppler ultrasound.

A

A: showing normal flow

C: severely reduced flow with severe notch (see arrows).

Q

What does the pulsatility index (PI) of doppler ultrasound show [1] and measure? [1]

How does the PI differ between the MCA and umbilical artery in a normal & IUGR fetus? [2]

A

Pulsatility Index (PI):
* the difference between the peak systolic flow and minimum diastolic flow velocity, divided by the mean velocity recorded throughout the cardiac cycle.
* It is a non-invasive method of assessing vascular resistance with the use of Doppler ultrasonography.

Healthy fetus:
* PI of MCA greater than umbilical artery
* Creates ratio >1

IUGR:
* PI of MCA less than umbilical artery

Q

What does prescence of uterine artery notch after 22 weeks indicate? [1]

A

The presence of a notch after 22 weeks indicates increased uterine vascular resistance and warrants monitoring of the patient.

Q

How does the A-wave in a ductus venosus doppler ultrasound present in a normal and IUGR fetus? [2]

A

Normally ductus venosus shows positive A wave.

Reversal of the A wave may be seen in severe intrauterine growth restriction as well as in tricuspid regurgitation.

Q

What is the definiton of miscarriage? [1]

What is the definiton of stillbirth? [1]

What is early and late neonatal death? [2]

What is infant death? [1]

A

Miscarriage: pregnancy loss <24 weeks

Stillbirth: baby born >24 weeks with no signs of life

Neonatal death: baby born live but dies in first 28 days of life
- Early neonatal: 0-7 days death
- Late neonatal: 7-28 days death

Infant death: anytime in first year

Q
