. 8 years old girl, parent complains that she looks older than her classmates , wt and hight above the 95th percentile , otherwise normal :
Life style modification

this is most likely due to obesity. Familial tall stature also known as constitutional tall stature is the most common cause of tall stature. The second most common cause is nutritional. The height as well as the weight are at higher percentile.


Again the bone age is marginally to moderately advanced so final predicted height is not much. Nutritional tall stature is managed by life-style changes and avoidance of bad dietary practices.

Failure of obliteration of pharyngeal arch 2,3,4 leads to?
Branchial fistula



* Defects in the development of pharyngeal cleft 1 can result in preauricular (i.e. in front of the pinna of the ear) cysts and/or fistulas


* Anomalous development of the derivatives of pouches 3 and/or 4 can result in ectopic or absent parathyroid, thymic, or parafollicular thyroid tissue.


The most common disorder in which this occurs is DiGeorge syndrome, caused by a deletion in the long (or "q") arm of chromosome 22, leading to a hypoplasia of 3rd and 4th pharyngeal pouch derivatives.


Symptoms and signs of DiGeorge often include:


- hypoplasia of the hyoidthymic hypoplasia (immunodeficiency due to a lack of T-cells)


- hypoparathyroidism (missing or hypoplastic inferior parathyroid glands)


- outflow tract defects (neural crest in this area also contributes to conotruncal cushions of the outflow tract)




Interestingly, the hypoplasia of the 3rd and 4th


arches can also disrupt the 1st and 2nd arches,


leading to the following additional findings:


micrognathia (reduced jaw)


cleft palate


hearing loss

Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder ( they give me the symptom not the diagnosis ) child what is the manegment?
Atomoxetine



- Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a syndrome of inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. The 3 types of ADHD are predominantly inattentive, predominantly hyperactive-impulsive, and combined. Diagnosis is made by clinical criteria. Treatment usually includes drug therapy with stimulant drugs, behavioral therapy, and educational interventions.ADHD has been classified as a developmental disorder, although some experts consider it a disruptive behavior disorder. ADHD affects an estimated 5 to 15% of school-aged children


- The predominantly hyperactive-impulsive type occurs 2 to 9 times more frequently in boys; the predominantly inattentive type occurs with about equal frequency in both sexes. ADHD tends to run in families.


- Some risk factors include birth weight < 1500 g, head trauma, and lead exposure, as well as prenatal exposure to alcohol, tobacco, and cocaine.


- dx: sx for 6 m, in 2 or more settings (home and school), impair function


- sx:


1) inattention: eaisly distracted, not persist w/tasks


2) hyperactivity: excess movement, fidgeting, restlessness, interference w/normal social functioning.


3) impulsive: acting without reflection (erratically

They answered 4 too!


In the current rules, nrem stage 3 and nrem stage 4 are combined as stage n3


Confusional arousals, sleep terrors, and sleepwalking are the most significant parasomnias associated with nrem sleep. They are also termed disorders of partial arousal as they result from incomplete arousal from nrem sleep. Typically, they occur at the transition from deep nrem (stage n3) sleep into the lighter stages of nrem sleep (n1 or n2) or into the awake state.

Blood film for girls came abdominal pain cough splenomegaly dx; A. P.malaria B. P.falcifom C. P. Oval D. Mp. Something

-




- Uncomplicated malaria:


tachycardia, tachypnea, chills, malaise, fatigue, diaphoresis, headache, cough, anorexia, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhea, arthralgias, and myalgias


Physical findings may include mild anemia and a palpable spleen.


* Mild jaundice may also develop in patients with otherwise uncomplicated falciparum malaria.


* falciparum malaria is the most virulent.


* Laboratory evaluation may demonstrate: parasitemia (usually <5000 parasites/microL of blood, <0.1 percent parasitized RBCs), anemia, thrombocytopenia, elevated transaminases, mild coagulopathy, and elevated BUN and creatinine.




- Complicated malaria — Patients with complicated or severe malaria may have hyperparasitemia [≥100,000 parasites/microL of blood (≥5 to 10 percent of parasitized RBCs)]


Sx: Altered consciousness, ARDS, metabolic acidosis, Circulatory collapse, hepatic/ Renal failure, hemoglobinuria ("blackwater fever"), Coagulopathy, anemia, Hypoglycemia.


* most severe and complicated malaria is usually due to P. falciparum




- To establish the diagnosis of malaria, blood smears or a rapid diagnostic test (RDT) should be performed. If the RDT is positive, a smear is important for speciation and to determine degree of parasitemia. If the initial diagnostic evaluation is negative, follow up testing should be done each day for two more days.


- Chloroquine, quinine, quinidine, halofantrine, and artemisinin compounds are the rapidly acting drugs that can terminate an acute malaria attack. While chloroquine acts rapidly, resistance is widespread, and an accurate travel history should be obtained before choosing the antimalarial drug




- Febrile paroxysms may occur every other day for P. vivax, P. ovale, and P. falciparum and every third day for P. malariae. Paroxysms occurring at regular intervals are more common in the setting of infection due to P. vivax or P. ovale than P. falciparum.


- Relapse may occur in the setting of infection due to P. vivax and P. ovale infection, since the life cycle of these two species includes hypnozoites, a quiescent stage in the liver. presumptive antirelapse therapy with primaquine


- Primaquine is contraindicated in individuals with glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency and in pregnant women.


- Chloroquine is highly effective against P. malariae and P. ovale and is effective for most cases of P vivax. Hydroxychloroquine is a second-line alternative to chloroquine




- falciparum: affect RBC of all ages, diameter of RBC normal. No ameboid trophozoites or Bands. 16-20 merozoits


- vivax/ovale: affect reticulocytes, diameter of


RBC large. Has ameboid trophozoites but no


Bands. Ovale--> 8 merozoits


- malaria: affect old RBC, diameter of RBC small. No ameboid trophozoites but form Bands. 8-10 merozoits

2 weeks neonate passed unformed stool. What will you do?
Give oral rehydration solution?!



Functional diarrhea is defined as the painless passage of three or more large, unformed stools during waking hours for four or more weeks, with onset in infancy or the preschool years, and without failure to thrive or a specific definable cause [15]. This common, benign disorder has also been termed chronic nonspecific diarrhea of childhood or toddler's diarrhea.Children with functional diarrhea usually pass stools only during waking hours. Early morning stools typically are large and semi-formed, then stools become progressively looser as the day progresses [16]. Virtually all children develop normal bowel patterns by four years of age. In some cases, the diarrhea is associated with excessive intake of fruit juice, sorbitol, or other osmotically active carbohydrates, and will improve when the intake of these foods is moderated. Other than this precaution, restrictions to the diet or other interventions are not necessary or helpful. In particular, restriction of dietary fat may be counter-productive [16,17].If the evaluation suggests functional diarrhea, we suggest trials of the following dietary changes:Reduce or eliminate fruit juice or other osmotically active carbohydrates. Apple, prune, and pear juice contain sorbitol and have a particularly high osmotic load.Liberalize the fat content of the diet to 35 to 50 percent of total calories.Other than these two measures, alterations in diet are not helpful and are sometimes counter-productive.

Child with dental caries, what u will advise him?
Diet modification



Caries management with restorative therapy (eg, fillings) is the preferred therapeutic approach in many countries. However, restorative therapy must be combined with preventive measures, since restorations have relatively short durability and new caries may form at the margins of restorations if the causes of the disease persist. The key for the prevention and control of dental caries and advanced periodontitis is the active promotion of oral hygiene. The components of such a regimen include: ●regular brushing with a fluoridated toothpaste and dental flossing after each meal ●dietary counseling to reduce the ingestion of sugar-rich foods or beverages ●use of topical fluorides and oral antimicrobial rinses, such as chlorhexidine for high-risk patients ●modification of risk factors, such as smoking cessation ●overcoming the reluctance for regular visits to dental professionals

Baby with vomiting and abdominal distension examination gush of stool history of decrease feeding and constipation, history of barium enema what next?

A. Colectomy


B. Hydrostatic reduction


C. Leveling colostomy

- hirschsprung disease


I think clostomy


Treatment in the neonate typically involved a colostomy proximal to the aganglionic segment to decompress the colon and allow the neonate to grow before the 2nd stage of the procedure. Later resection of the entire aganglionic portion of the colon and a pull-through procedure is done. However, a number of centers now do a 1-stage procedure in the neonatal period. Results using laparoscopic technique are similar to those of the open method and are associated with shorter hospitalizations, earlier initiation of feeding, and less pain.

Lactating mother with active hepatitis b.
Encourage breast feeding

Parent brought their baby to your clinic , u noticed testicular asymmetry and was tender on palpation , the testes where palpable in scrotum bilaterally , next step :
Surgery

in the pediatric population, there is a higher likelihood for testicular torsion if the testis is high riding compared with the other side. While abnormal lie can help in diagnosis, fewer than 50% of cases demonstrate horizontal lie. In an older patient, a physical examination may reveal a swollen, tender, high-riding testis with abnormal transverse lie and loss of the cremasteric reflex. Surgical exploration is mandatory unless torsion can be excluded.

Pyruvate carboxylase

Pyruvate carboxylase (PC) deficiency is a rare disorder that can cause developmental delay and failure to thrive starting in the neonatal or early infantile period. All patients who develop symptoms in the first weeks and months of life have lactic acidosis.


- Metabolic acidosis caused by abnormal lactate production is associated with nonspecific symptoms such as severe lethargy, poor feeding, vomiting, and seizures, especially during periods of illness and metabolic stress. In the most severe form, pyruvate carboxylase deficiency results in progressive neurologic symptoms, starting in the neonatal or early infantile period, including developmental delay, poor muscle tone, abnormal eye movements, and seizures

Pediatric case of broncheactitis whats the most important ? A. Physiotherapy B. Home oxygen C. Steroid

Physiotherapy!


In addition to the treatment of an identified underlying disorder in patients with bronchiectasis, therapy is guided at reducing the airway secretions and facilitating their removal through cough. Antibiotics can be used to prevent and treat recurrent infections, usually based on the findings at bronchoalveolar lavage. Secretions can be mobilized with chest physiotherapy and mucolytic agents. Inhaled corticosteroids may have a role in regulating the host response and halting inflammatory damage to the lung.

- an autoimmune etiology.


- inflammatory tissue infiltration with both T cells and neutrophils


- interplay between infectious-agent exposure and genetic factors may have a role.


- Age of 25-35 years at onset


- Pseudofolliculitis and acneiform lesions, found more commonly in males with Behçet disease, primarily affect the trunk and extremities.Erythema nodosum, which is more common in females with the disease, are occasionally differentiated from alternate etiologies based on ulceration, which is a characteristic more unique to Behçet disease.


- For ocular disease, azathioprine is widely accepted as the initial agent


- For oral and genital ulcerations, topical steroids or sucralfate solution are first-line therapy for mild isolated ulcerations.

Child with hairless spot, mother noted she was pulling her hair when stressed, what to give her? A. Lithium

B. Lorazepam

ssri :citalopram, fluvoxamine, escitalopram, paroxetine, sertraline, fluoxetine (uptodate) trichotillomania is an intriguing psychosomatic entity in which there is an irresistible desire to pull out the hair from the scalp, eyelashes, eyebrows and other parts of the body. The process results in an instant release of tension, a sense of relief and security. However, non-scaring alopecia is its clinical presentation. The development of trichobezoar following ingestion of the pulled hair is its salient complication in a few cases. Subsequently, it may cause symptoms pertaining to the gastrointestinal tract culminating in intestinal obstruction, perforation, pancreatitis and obstructive jaundice. The rapunzel syndrome

trichobezoar) may occur when gastrointestinal obstruction is produced by a rare manifestation of a trichobezoar with a long tail that extends to or beyond the ileocecal valve. In most cases in children, trichotillomania +/- trichobezoar is a habit disorder and thus has a better prognosis. However, in adults the psychopathology is usually deeper and thus entails a poor prognosis. The diagnosis is made after taking a thorough history, noting the clinical features and evaluating a hair-root examination, where telogen hair is (almost) completely lacking, which distinguish trichotillomania from other hair disorders. Treatment modalities vary in childhood and adult varieties. Apart from psychotherapy, the drug treatment involves several agents including selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (ssris) and domipramine. Trichobezoar/rapunzel syndrome requires surgical intervention.

Treatment of de queverian syndrome?

rest, warm soaks, and nsaids may help in very mild cases. Local corticosteroid injections and a thumb spica splint help 70 to 80% of cases. Surgical release of the first extensor compartment is very effective when conservative therapy fails.




- The tendons of the abductor pollicis longus and the extensor pollicis brevis are tightly secured against the radial styloid by the overlying extensor retinaculum. Any thickening of the tendons from acute or repetitive trauma restrains gliding of the tendons through the sheath. Efforts at thumb motion, especially when combined with radial or ulnar deviation of the wrist, cause pain and perpetuate the inflammation and swelling.


- Patients frequently are mothers of infants aged 6-12 months, and symptoms are often noted in both wrists. Repetitive lifting of the baby as it grows heavier is responsible for friction tendinitis


- note pain resulting from thumb and wrist motion, along with tenderness and thickening at the radial styloid.


- The Finkelstein test (consisting of flexion of the thumb across the palm and then ulnar deviation of the wrist) causes sharp pain at the first dorsal compartment


- Splinting of the thumb and wrist relieves symptoms, but most patients find the loss of the thumb for functional activities too restrictive and do not consistently wear the splints. Injection of corticosteroid into the sheath of the first dorsal compartment reduces tendon thickening and inflammation.


- If injection therapy fails, surgical release of the first dorsal compartment relieves the entrapment.

The largest burden of meningococcal disease occurs in an area of sub-saharan africa known as the meningitis belt, which stretches from senegal in the west to ethiopia in the east.

6 month infant turns bluish when feeding. Auscultation shows holosystolic murmur with single s2. Diagnosis:

Tga present with single s2 but with no murmur. (unless there's vsd) Answer: tof Tof: most common cyanotic heart disease in children, cyanosis usually absent at birth but develop over first 2 year of life, infant are often asymptomatic until 4-6 month Auscultation: single s2 with systolic murmur on upper and left sternal border Tga: most common cyanotic heart in infant cyanosis usually within few hours after birth. Auscultation: loud single s2. They may not be a murmur if no svd present



A loud, single S2 indicates either pulmonary hypertension or congenital heart disease involving one of the semilunar valves.
