    Study Notes

    Clinical Presentations and Diagnoses

    • A 3-year-old boy exhibits hyperactivity and mild mental retardation, projectile vomiting, eczematoid rash, microcephaly, and mild spasticity; likely has a specific metabolic disorder.
    • A 5-year-old girl with mental retardation and convulsions shows light skin and small head; diagnosis to be confirmed by EEG findings.
    • A 7-year-old boy with a swollen knee and excessive bleeding suggests a bleeding disorder; coagulation profile may indicate hemophilia or von Willebrand disease.
    • A child with multiple petechiae post-URTI likely has immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) due to low platelet counts.
    • Chest CT is crucial for evaluating cystic parenchymal lesions; less so for certain other types.
    • ERA is a subtype of juvenile idiopathic arthritis characterized by arthritis and enthesitis, often manifesting as tenderness at the entheses (attachment sites of tendons to bone).

    Dialysis Indications and Procedures

    • Indications for dialysis in acute kidney injury include electrolyte imbalance, acidosis, fluid overload, but some conditions may not require it.
    • Therapeutic hypothermia can reduce death and disability in perinatal asphyxia cases when initiated promptly.

    Coagulation and Hematopoiesis

    • Microthrombocytes are commonly seen in immune thrombocytopenia (ITP), often associated with bleeding disorders.
    • Hematopoiesis transitions from the yolk sac to the liver during the fourth week of gestation; the liver becomes the primary site.

    Clinical Management

    • Folic acid is the primary treatment for homocystinuria; early interventions can prevent complications.
    • Screening tests for sickle cell disease can identify complications like central nervous system symptoms to prevent stroke.
    • Membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis is commonly associated with nephrotic syndrome secondary to hepatitis B infection.

    Diagnostic Imaging and Hemorrhage Management

    • Imaging modalities for bronchiolitis assessment include chest X-ray and ultrasound; CT is less commonly utilized.
    • Intraventricular hemorrhage management often involves supportive care, monitoring, and possibly surgical interventions.

    Neonatal Physiology and Congenital Conditions

    • Ductus arteriosus closure is triggered by increased oxygenation and decreased prostaglandins after birth.
    • Grading for intraventricular hemorrhage severity is often achieved using the Papile classification system.
    • Clinical signs of intraventricular hemorrhage in preterm infants include lethargy, hypotonia, and seizures.

    Maternal and Neonatal Conditions

    • Maternal conditions like preeclampsia or prolonged labor can heighten birth asphyxia risks.
    • The transition from fetal to neonatal circulation features increased pulmonary resistance and decreased systemic resistance after birth.
