Study Notes

Gluten-Free Diet Alternatives

Alternative sources of carbohydrates: rice and corn
Hidden sources of gluten: bread, cake, cookies, crackers, donuts, pies, spaghetti, pizza, hotdogs, luncheon meat, and hamburger
Importance of reading labeled ingredients to avoid gluten
High-fiber foods to avoid during inflamed bowels: nuts, raisins, raw vegetables, and fruits with skin

Cleft Lip and Cleft Palate

Cleft Lip: incomplete fusion of embryonic structure surrounding the primitive oral cavity
Cleft Palate: failure of primary and secondary plates to fuse during embryonic development
Etiology: teratogens, inheritance, drugs, folic acid deficiency, maternal smoking, and alcoholic consumption
Diagnostics: apparent at birth, cleft lip can be diagnosed in utero through ultrasound (14-16 weeks), palpation of the palate
Therapeutic management: surgery (cheiloplasty and palatoplasty)
Nursing management: feeding in an upright position, use of Haberman bottle, post-op care (avoid prone position, elbow restraints, and use of suction)

Metabolic and Endocrine Problems

Dwarfism: short stature due to genetic or medical condition, adult height of 4'10" or less
Types of dwarfism: disproportionate and proportionate
Clinical manifestations: average size trunk, short arms and legs, short fingers, limited elbow mobility, and disproportionately large head
Gigantism: abnormal growth in children, prominent in height, caused by pituitary gland tumor
Clinical manifestations: larger than average children, large hands and feet, thick toes and fingers, prominent jaw and forehead, and excessive sweating
Diagnostics: IGF-1, growth hormone blood test, MRI scan
Therapeutic management: transspenoidal surgery, bromocriptine and cabergoline drugs

Syndrome of Inappropriate Antidiuretic Hormone

Oversecretion of posterior pituitary antidiuretic hormone
Causes hyponatremia in pediatric population
Clinical manifestations: edema, anorexia, nausea, vomiting, and irritability
Diagnostics: lymph node biopsy, needle aspiration, and excision, fluoroscopy (x-ray)
Therapeutic management: watchful waiting, chemotherapy, and external radiation

Lymphoma and Targeted Therapy

Ann Arbor Staging System: stages 1-4, involvement of lymph nodes and extralymphatic sites
Targeted therapy: ABUD, BEACOPP, CHOP, CVP, and COPP
Nursing management: lymph node biopsy, secure consent, note allergies, and watch for bleeding and infection

Brain Tumors

Definition: tumors arising from any cell within the cranium
Risk factors: genetics (Li-Fraumeni Syndrome, neurofibromatosis), cranial irradiation, and immunosuppression
Types of brain tumors: gliomas (arises from cerebral hemispheres)
