Q

galactosemia

A

failure to thrive, feeding intolerance, cataracts, jaundice, hypoglycemia, hepatomegaly, convulsions

galactose-1-phosphate uridyl transferase deficiency

these pts are at increased risk for E coli neonatal sepsis

consequences if early dx is not made –> irr liver cirrhosis and mental retardation

treat with elimination of galactose from diet
- cataracts may regress, eyesight is improved or normal

v. s. pts with galactokinase deficiency - cataracts ONLY

- babbling at 6 mo –> mama, dada –> more words
- 2-year old - 2-word phrases, vocab > 50 words, stranger should be able to understand 1/2 of child’s speech

social cognitive

  • 2 mo - social smiler, recognizes parnts

Q

newborn neuro

A

cephalohematoma - subperiosteal hemorrhage, limited to surface of one bone

  • most resolve spontaneously

caput succedaneum - ecchymotic swelling of scalp, involves portion of head presenting vertex during delivery
- may cross suture lines

craniomeningocele - pulsations, increased pressure on crying, bony defects

ICH in neonates - apnea, pallor or cyanosis, poor suckling, abnormal eye signs, high-pitched cry, muscular twitching, convulsions, decreased muscle tone/paralysis, decreased Hct, metabolic acidosis, shock

depressed skull fractures - due to forceps delivery or fetal head compression

Q

breastfeeding failure jaundice v.s. breast milk jaundice

A

normal: infants pass meconium in the first 2d –> yellow-green stool if ingesting adequate milk
- inadequate stooling –> decreased bili elimination and increased enterohepatic circulation (bili is primarily excreted through stool)

all newborns have mild unconjugated hyperbili due to high Hb turnover and immature hepatic uridine diphosphogluconurate glucuronosyltransferase (UGT) activity

breastfeeding failure jaundice - first week of life

  • lactation failure –> decreased bilirubin elimination, increased enterohepatic circulation
  • physical exam - suboptimal breastfeeding and signs of dehydration (brick-red urate crystals in diaper)

breast milk jaundice

  • starts at 3-5d, peaks at 2 wks
  • high levels of b-glucuronidase in breast milk deconjugate intestinal bili and increase enterohepatic circulation
  • physical exam - adequate breastfeeding and normal exam

phototherapy based on nomogram, exchange transfusion when t bili >25 or for infants with neuro dysfunction
- choreoathetoid CP/ diplegic - affects legs

Q

bilious emesis in neonate

A

full-term infants will pass meconium within first 48hrs of life

1) AXR - to id pneumoperitoneum
2) constrast enema
- -> microcolon - meconium ileus (PATHOGNOMONIC for CF), obstruction in terminal ileum –> colon becomes underused and contracted –> give gastrograffin enema (hyperosmolar) –> if that fails proceed to surgery
- -> transition zone showing narrow rectosigmoid and dilated megacolon = Hirschsprung
- Hirschsprung - affected segment cant relax…

intestinal malro - severe bilious emesis and hypovolemic shock

  • get UGI series
  • will be at level of duodenum –> no gas in abdomen

Q

foreign body ingestion/aspiration

A

ASPIRATION:
sudden-onset respiratory distress
- most will be in R mainstem bronchus
- focal wheezing (v diffuse in asthma) and diminished aeration on affected side
- hyperinflation (air trapping) or atelectasis on affected side

bronch

INGESTION:
in esophagus + symptomatic - remove
- battery in esophagus - remove (distal to esophagus, observe until it passes)

coin in esophagus + asx –> observe for 24hrs

caustic ingestion - laryngeal, esophageal damage, gastric damage

  • steps - 1) secure airway (ABCs), 2) decontaminate (remove contaminated clothing, visible chemicals, irrigate exposed skin), 3) EGD in 24hrs (investigate extent of injury)

Q

advantage of human milk

A

breastfeed until 6 mo of age

  • introduce pureed foods at 6 mo
  • solid foods and breastfeeding until age 1

milk is 70% whey, 30% casein - whey helps to improve gastric emptying

  • absorption of Ca and Phos is better from human milk
  • main carb is lactose
  • also contains lactoferrin, lysozyme, IgA to confer immunity
  • also associated with less reflux and colic than formula
    - -> colic = prolonged periods of inconsolable crying, peaks around 2 mo

breast milk is a poor source of vitamin D - infants must be supplemented

breastfeeding benefits - immunity (IgA based), decreased of childhood cancer/type 1 DM/NEC

maternal benefits

  • more rapid uterine involution
  • faster return to prepartum weight
  • improved mat-infant bonding
  • reduced risk of ovarian and breast cancer

contraindications to breastfeeding - Tb, HIV infection, herpetic breast lesions, recent varicella infection, chemoradiation, drug abuse

Q

nocturnal enuresis

A

most children begin toilet training > 2yo
- premature initiation of toilet-training can prolong the duration of training

bedwetting before age 5 is normal

  • daytime continence mastered within mo
  • nighttime continence is difficult to achieve
  • encouragement and positive reinforcement

incontinence < 15% at age 5 (<1-2% at age 15)

  • get UA for kids older than 5 - screen for UTI, DM, DI
  • conservative measures
  • enuresis alarm - take 3-4 mo to be effective
  • desmopressin

chronic constipation can reduce bladder capacity - contributes to urinary incontinence
- abd xray if you suspect constipation

secondary enuresis causes (enuresis after > 6 mo of dryness) - psych, UTI, DM, DI (uncommon in kids), OSA
- OSA - due to impaired sleep arousal

A

chemical < 24hrs

  • mild conjunctival irritation and tearing after silver nitrate ophthalmic ppx
  • tx - eye lubricant

1) gonococcal - week 1 of life
- marked eyelid swelling, profuse purulent discharge, corneal edema/ulceration
- intracellular diplococci, culture on Thayer-Martin agar is gold std for dx
- all infants should receive ppx - topical erythromycin after birth within an hr of birth (regardless of mat status)
- tx - single IM dose of rocephin
- prevention with erythromycin ointment

2) chlamydial - week 2 of life
- mild eyelid swelling
- watery, serosanguinous, mucopurulent d/c
- untreated infection can lead to corneal scarring
- PCR required for confirmatory dx
- tx - po macrolide (monitor infants for pyloric stenosis, side effect)

Q

precocious puberty

A

early secondary sexual development
<8 girls, <9 boys
- obese children are at increased risk - triggers excess insulin production –> stimulates adrenal glands –> sex hormone production

1) advanced bone age
- low basal LH –> GnRH stimulation test –> low LH –> peripheral precocious puberty (McCune Albright, non-classical CAH)
- low basal LH –> GnRH stim test –> high LH –> central precocious puberty
- high basal LH –> central precocious puberty

central precocious puberty - hypothalamic glioma, pituitary hamartoma, idiopathic precocious puberty, tuberous sclerosis
- for idiopathic precocious puberty - give GnRH AGonist

McCune Albright - peripheral precocious puberty (LOW FSH and LH)
- also irregular cafe au lait spots, fibrous dysplasia of bone

non-classical (no salt wasting) peripheral precocious puberty - metabolites shunted to adrenal production

  • classic - infancy, salt-wasting, virilization
  • non-classic - late-onset, premature pubarche/adrenarche + advanced bone age

2) normal bone age
- isolated breast development = premature thelarche
- isolated pubic hair development = premature adrenarche (adrenal androgens)

granulosa cell tumors - usu in middle-aged women with an ovarian mass (+ bleeding)

  • estrogen producing tumor - so for girls (rare), could present as early breast development and menses
  • tx - removal

A

L–> R - tachypnea, poor weight gain, sweating with feeds
- VSD, ASD, isolated PDA

R–> L - cyanosis (also sweating with feeds)

  • transposition of great vessels
  • Tet of Fallot
  • tricuspid atresia
  • anomalous pulmonary venous return
  • truncus arteriosus
  • hyperoxia test: cyanosis –> trial of 100% O2 –> if infant/child fails to improve –> think congenital heart defect

interrupted left ventricular ouptut - pallor or shock, severe acidosis

  • coarctation of aorta
  • hypoplastic left heart syndrome

in many cases - pulmonary blood flow or aortic comes from PDA rather than RV –> when PDA starts to close (day 3) –> infant becomes more cyanotic –> give PGE1

note: acrocyanosis is normal in infants

44
Tourettes
multiple motor and vocal tics, onset < 18 yo, lasts for 1 yr tx - **antipsychotics** (second gen like risperidone are used due to fewer side effects) - a2 adrenergic agonists (for mild disease, clonidine, guanfacine) - behavioral therapy - habit reversal training, most effective note - tourettes is often comorbid with adhd and ocd but they are not the same and are not treated with the same meds
45
cystic fibrosis (CF)
failure to thrive - kids will start on the growth curve and then fall off respiratory (due to defective mucociliary clearance of secretions) - obstructive lung disease --> bronchietasis - recurrent pneumonia - chronic rhinosinusitis and nose bleeds (vitamin K deficiency) - orgs: s aureus is the most common pathogenic org in young children (<20 yo), above age 20 pseudomonas dominates - -> give cefepime (MSSA, pseudomonas), vanc (MRSA), IV if severe pneumonia - -> amox does NOT cover S aureus (covers S pneumo) - -> azithro covers atypicals - -> cipro covers pseudomonas GI - meconium ileus, distal intestinal obstruction syndrome - pancreatic disease (due to duct obstruction) - exocrine pancreatic insufficiency, CF-related diabetes (- pancreatitis is not on this list) - biliary cirrhosis reproductive - infertility (95% of men, due to congenital absence of vas deferens) MSK - osteopenia, kyphoscoliosis, digital clubbing ********************************************************* CF v.s.

46
prenatal drug exposure
opiates - heroin and methadone - increased risk of IUGR, macrocephaly, SIDs, neonatal abstinence syndrome (NAS) - NAS - irritability, high-pitched cry, poor sleeping, tremors, sweating, tachy (withdrawal symptoms) - -> can present a few days after birth (up to a mo after birth) cocaine - jitteriness, excessive sucking, hyperactive Moro - but sxs are not as severe as opiates
47
sunburn
SPF 15-30 15-30 min before sun exposure - reapply every 2 hrs - sunscreens above SPF 50 dont provide any increased UV protection - avoid sunscreen in infants < 6 mo (because of thinner skin and high SA/BW ratio) mild-moderate tx - cool compresses, calamine lotion, aloe, NSAIDs severe - hospitalize, IVFs and analgesia, wound care random note - dark fabrics offer greater UV protection because the rays cant penetrate the fabric as well
48
hepatitis B
blood, sex, vertical transmission key thing to look for - HBeAg indicates infectivity - if pos - 95% infection risk - if neg - 20% infection risk for newborns with moms who have active hep B - give HBIG (for temp protection) then HBVax 90% of hep B in the newborn will progress to chronic hepatitis
