Pathology of hemolytic Uremic Syndrome
Infection with enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli and Shigella dysenteriae from a production of shiga like toxin and shiga toxin respectively
symptoms: microangiopathic hemolytic anemia (fatigue, jaundice, dark urine), thrombocytopenia, renal dysfunction
language development at 12months
says first words, points to objects, uses several gestures with vocalizing, recognizes names of two objects, looks at them when named
language development at 15 months
uses three to five words
points to one body part
mature jargoning
language development at 18 months
uses 10-25 words
points to self
imitates environmental sounds
language development at 24 months
50+ words, 50% intelligibility, uses 2 word sentences, follows two step commands
language development at 36 months
uses 200+ words, 3 word sentences, 75% intelligibility, uses pronouns correctly
language disorders
deficiency in understand and producing language
can result in frustration
4 year old child milestones
walks down stairs with alternating feet, catches a ball, balances on one foot
draws square, ties a knot, cuts with scissors
able to tell sories
imaginative play/group play
language disorders
deficiency in understand and producing language
can result in frustration
**obtain a audiology evaluation for any child with a deficient language development
etiology of Paget disease of breast
ductal carcinoma insitu has malignant cells that migrate into the lactiferous sinuses and nipple skin
accumulation of malignant cells disrupts the normal epithelial barrier
(resembles eczema- erythema and scaling crust around nipple)
- large cells with clear cytoplasm confined to the epidermis
MOA of local anesthetics
inhibit sodium channels and is most effective in rapidly firing neurons
classes of local anesthetics
esters (one i)
amides (two i’s)
side effect of bupivicaine
cardio toxicity
order or sensory loss from a local anesthetics
pain, temperature, touch, pressure
side effect of bupivicaine
cardio toxicity
order or sensory loss from a local anesthetics
pain, temperature, touch, pressure
classes of local anesthetics
esters (one i)
amides (two i’s)
side effect of benzocaine
methemoglobinemia
special considerations for local anesthetics
if pt is allergic to ester compound use amide
if there is infected tissue there will need to be a higher dose (infection causes an acidic environment)
signs of riboflavin (vitamin B2) deficiency
angular chelitis, stomatitis, glossitis, rash, normocytic anemia
signs of niacin deficiency
diarrhea, dermatitis, dementia, neurological disturbances
-rash on sun exposed areas
