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?

- 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

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)

(also give acet & return if fever > 48hrs)

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.
In cases of meningitis, public health recommends prophylactic Abx for close contacts of which 2 causes of meningitis?
1. H. influ B
2. N. meningitidis

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?
What is the acceptable growth velocity amongst children?
6cm/year. Anything less than 5cm/yr is concerning!
When evaluating a kid with short stature, what are 4 questions you should ask yourself?
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
