|
Cortisol levels normally peak around 10-12am then declines throughout the day to allow for sleep at night. What happens to kids with DV exposure?
|
DV exposure raises the levels of cortisol such that it peaks in the afternoon/evening and disrupts their sleep. As a result these kids are less able to function at school during the day.
|
|
Too much cortisol for too long will do what to the hippocampus?
What is the function of this part of the brain? |
- shrinkage (in adults who experience PTSD)

selectively paying attention to one important thing while ignoring other things
- damage = trouble focusing attention and inhibiting inappropriate actions |
|
What is the function of amygdala of the brain?
What happens when/if this area is damaged? |
Amygdala = processing of negative events, & triggering elevations of adrenaline & cortisol in response to negative emotional stimuli
Damage = more sensitive to negative emotions & more likely to produce hormonal stress reactions when threatened |
|
What is the function of pre-frontal cortex of the brain?
What happens when/if this area is damaged? |
Pre-frontal cortex: sensitive to information about social environment & social partners
Damage = makes it especially difficult to act appropriately in social situations |
|

Ampicillin & gentamicin if no evidence of meningitis
Ampicillin & cefotaxime if there's evidence of meningitis |
|
What would you do for a high risk neonate with a temp >= 39.0? (3 things)
|
1. Urinanalysis & culture
2. If no Prevnar vaccine then consider CBC & Bculture) 3. CXR if resp symptoms (also give acet & return if fever > 48hrs) |
|
What is your approach to the toxic appearing infant in the following ages:
0-28 days 28-90 3-36 months |
0-28 days = FSWU + empiric therapy
28-90 days = clinical & lab screening + Asx risk --> manage according to risk 3-36 months = vast majority have a viral illness therefore clinical f/u + - selected tests. |
|

|
1. H. influ B
2. N. meningitidis ** not for S. pneumo |

|
Hvent = ↓ pCO2 & ↑pH
HoVent = ↑pCO2 & ↓pH |

1. Infection
2. Pulmonary Edema 3. Pulmonary hemorrhage (kids won't cough up blood --> they'll swallow it back down) 4 |
|
Sweat chloride testing:
positive = ? grey zone = ? negative = ? Why does the newborn CF screening test look at trypsinogen? |
positive = >= 60mmol/L
grey zone = 30-59mmol/L negative = < 30 mmol/L Look for trypsinogen because in utero pancrease gets fibrotic & tryp will leak out into the blood! |
|
At what ages to HT and Wt double (respectively)?
What are the average Ht & Wt's at birth? What about head circumference? By how much should HC increase in the first year? |
Ht doubles after 4 years
Wt doubles after 5months! Ht = 50cm Wt = 3 - 3.5kg HC = 35cm, increases by 12cm in 1st year? |

|
1. Was there IUGR?
2. Is the child proportionate? 3. Is the growth velocity normal? 4. Is there a discrepency between bone age & chronological age? |
|
Why would a VSD not be heard at birth but heard later?
|
May not be heard at birth b/c not very much flow across the deftct. But as R sided pressures fall the gradient for flow will increase and with more flow the murmur will become audible. Thus they tend to present in the 1st few months.
|
|
Describe an innocent and pathologic murmur in terms of:
- sound - timing - grade |
Sound:
Innocent = musical Patho = harsh Timing Innocent = systolic ejection Patho = Sys or diastolic, ejection/pan, etc Grade innocent = low patho = high |
