Q

what is an umbilical grnauloma

A

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.

pyloric stenosis what metabolic abnromality

A

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.

explanation of oro-motor porblems and athetoid movemnt in dyskinetic cerebral palsy

A

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.

Q

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?

A

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.

what is toddler diarrhoea

A

Toddler’s diarrhoea is a benign condition that causes the child no problems. It is due to the fast transit through their digestive system and often contains undigested food. It requires no treatment. It is prudent to plot their height and weight to ensure no severe underlying diagnosis is present such as coeliac, which would present with the child falling centiles on the growth chart.

Q

how much calcium gluconate should you give someone in hyperklamaia

lokelma

91
Q

why do you use furosemide in hyperkalami a

A

push potassium back into the cell

92
Q

moa lokelma - sodium zirocnium

A

Lokelma increases fecal potassium excretion through binding of potassium in the lumen of the gastrointestinal tract. Binding of potassium reduces the concentration of free potassium in the gastrointestinal lumen, thereby lowering serum potassium level.

A

yes small bowel obstruction

also if you cannot see the large bowel on xray may be becuase it has collapsed due to small bowel being so dilated

96
Q

biliary atresia presentation

A

Biliary atresia can present with prolonged jaundice (present > 14 days of age), hepatomegaly, splenomegaly, abnormal growth, cardiac murmurs if associated cardiac abnormalities are present

97
Q

triad of shaken baby syndrome

A

Retinal haemorrhages, subdural haematoma and encephalopathy is the triad of the shaken baby syndrome

98
Q

differecnce between presentation of infantile spasms and colic

A

In infantile spasms the child will become distressed between spasms, whereas in colic the child will become distressed during the ‘spasms’

99
Q

Newborn babies are relatively deficient in vitamin K. This may result in impaired production of clotting factors which in turn can lead to haemorrhagic disease of the newborn (HDN). Bleeding may range from minor brushing to intracranial haemorrhages

Breast-fed babies are particularly at risk as breast milk is a poor source of vitamin K. Maternal use of antiepileptics also increases the risk

because of this what are they offered - one off what

A

Both oral and IM routes of vitamin K are licensed for neonates, but IM should be recommended to parents due to reduced concerns about compliance and shorter (one-off) treatment duration

100
Q

features of vesicouteric reflex

A

bnormal backflow of urine from the bladder into the ureter and kidney. It is a relatively common abnormality of the urinary tract in children and predisposes to urinary tract infection (UTI), being found in around 30% of children who present with a UTI. As around 35% of children develop renal scarring it is important to investigate for VUR in children following a UTI

Pathophysiology of VUR
ureters are displaced laterally, entering the bladder in a more perpendicular fashion than at an angle
therefore shortened intramural course of the ureter
vesicoureteric junction cannot, therefore, function adequately

101
Q

difference between androgen insenstivity and congential adrenal hyperplasia

A

Congenital adrenal hyperplasia would likely be diagnosed much earlier than puberty and is typically characterised by ambiguous genitalia and other symptoms of adrenal insufficiency, such as arrhythmias and vomiting.

andorgen

primary amenorrhoea’
undescended testes causing groin swellings
breast development may occur as a result of conversion of testosterone to oestradiol

102
Q

what is a cephaloheamatoma

A

A cephalohaematoma appears as a swelling due to bleeding between the periosteum and the skull. It is most commonly noted in the parietal region and is associated with instrumental deliveries. The swelling usually appears 2-3 days following delivery and does not cross suture lines. It gradually resolves over a number of weeks.

103
Q

what is caput succadeneum

A

Caput succadeneum is commonly seen in newborns immediately after birth. It occurs due to generalised superficial scalp oedema, which crosses suture lines. It is associated with prolonged labour and will rapidly resolve over a couple of days.

104
Q

the ejection systolic murmur in tetralogy of fallot is caused by what amnd why

A

Note the murmur is a result of pulmonary stenosis, not the ventricular septal defect as this is too large to produce a murmur.

105
Q

Generalised tenderness seen in what in kids

A

Generalised in mesenteric adenitis and peritonitis.
