Study Notes
Developmental Milestones
- Vocalization: Expected by 6 months.
- Sitting: Typically achieved by 10 months.
- Standing: Generally occurs around 17 months.
- Walking: Expected by 18 months.
- Single Words: Usually spoken by 18 months.
Developmental Quotient and Delay
- Developmental Quotient (DQ): Calculated as (Developmental Age x 100) / Chronological Age.
- Developmental Delay: Defined as DQ < 70.
- Global Developmental Delay: Associated with delays in two or more domains, indicating significant brain issues (e.g., Cerebral palsy).
- Nocturnal Enuresis: Defined as having wet nights at least twice a month in children over 5 years of age.
Classification and Management of Enuresis
-
Categories:
- Type 10: Never dry since birth (most common).
- Type 20: Previously dry child.
- Causes: Often related to maturational delay of the bladder.
-
Management:
- First-line therapy: Non-pharmacological approaches such as motivational therapy and alarm therapy.
- Second-line therapy: Medications like Desmopressin (oral) or anti-cholinergic agents (e.g., Oxybutynin).
Breastfeeding and Nutrition
- Breast Milk: Provides 67 kcal/100ml; superior nutrition compared to cow milk (more lactose, less protein).
- Immunological Properties: Colostrum is high in IgA, low in PABA, and contains Lactoferrin to protect against infections.
- Factors for Brain Growth: Includes whey protein, taurine, cysteine, and PUFA (Docosa Hexaenoic Acid).
-
Micronutrient Deficiencies:
- Vitamin K: Prophylactic injection at birth.
- Vitamin D: Oral supplementation necessary.
- Iron: Required for preterm or low birth weight infants due to insufficient iron stores.
-
Breast Milk Storage:
- Room temperature: 6-8 hours,
- Refrigerator: 24 hours,
- Freezer: Up to 3 months.
Feeding Preterm Babies
- Direct Breastfeeding: Allowed after 34 weeks of gestation.
HIV and Breastfeeding
- Contradictions: Absolute in developed countries; relative in developing countries.
- Exclusive Breastfeeding: Recommended for 6 months with gradual cessation.
- Prophylaxis for Infants: Nevirapine from birth; Cotrimoxazole begins at 4-6 weeks, continuing until 6 weeks after stopping breastfeeding.
Nutritional Disorders
-
Protein Energy Malnutrition (PEM):
- Kwashiorkor: Typically occurs after 1 year.
- Marasmus: Severe wasting form of malnutrition.
Congenital Infections
- Congenital Cytomegalovirus (CMV): Risk of severe complications if the mother has a primary infection during pregnancy. Treatment includes Ganciclovir.
- Congenital Toxoplasmosis: Symptoms include sensorineural hearing loss, chorioretinitis, microcephaly, and diffuse parenchymal calcifications.
- Congenital Zika: Notable for microcephaly and visual defects.
Rheumatic Disorders
-
Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (JIA): Arthritis lasting at least 6 weeks in children under 16 years.
- Oligoarticular JIA: Involves ≤ 4 joints, potential for uveitis.
- Polyarticular JIA: Involves ≥ 5 joints, may present with Rheumatic nodules.
- Systemic Onset JIA: Features quotidian fever, rash, and organomegaly.
-
Kawasaki Disease:
- Most common childhood vasculitis; presents with prolonged fever, conjunctivitis, rash, and strawberry tongue.
- Treatment includes IVIg and aspirin.
Neonatology
-
Classification of Neonates by Birth Weight:
- Low Birth Weight (LBW): < 2.5 kg.
- Very Low Birth Weight (VLBW): < 1.5 kg.
- Extremely Low Birth Weight (ELBW): < 1 kg.
Cardiovascular Conditions
-
Acyanotic Congenital Heart Disease (CHD):
- Includes Left-to-Right shunt lesions such as VSD, ASD, PDA, and obstructions like Coarctation of aorta.
- VSD: Characterized by pansystolic murmur.
- ASD: Noted for a wide fixed split of heart sounds.
Complications and Management of CHD
-
Shunt Complications:
- Early: Recurrent pneumonia, congestive heart failure.
- Late: Eisenmenger syndrome leading to cyanosis and clubbing.
-
Coarctation of Aorta:
- Symptoms include claudication pain and hypertension in upper limbs.
- Associated with collateral circulation formation via intercostal arteries.
Acute Rheumatic Fever
-
Modified Jones Criteria:
- Major: Carditis, arthritis, and chorea.
- Minor: Fever, elevated ESR/CRP, prolonged PR interval.
-
Prophylaxis:
- Benzyl Penicillin recommended; duration varies.
- Macrolides for penicillin-allergic patients.
Congenital Anomalies
- Esophageal Atresia: Characterized by excess frothing and vomiting in neonates due to proximal GI obstruction. Commonly associated with tracheoesophageal fistula.
