Study Notes
Growth Metrics
- At birth, average length is 50 cm.
- In the first year, expected growth is +25 cm, resulting in a length of 75 cm.
- Growth during the second year is +12.5 cm, bringing length to 87.5 cm.
- Growth from the third year averages +7.5 to 10 cm.
- Between ages three to twelve, growth averages +5 to 7.5 cm annually.
- Girls aged 12-16 have an average growth of 8 cm per year.
Genetic Conditions
- Aneuploidy refers to an abnormal number of chromosomes, impacting development.
- Autosomal Dominant (AD) traits manifest in all generations, examples include Spherocytosis and Celiac disease.
Clinical Evaluation
- Urine cultures are generally not recommended for evaluating Early Onset Sepsis (EOS) but should be considered for Late Onset Sepsis (LOS).
- Neutropenia, a lower than normal neutrophil count, is a more specific marker for neonatal sepsis compared to neutrophilia.
Treatment and Interventions
- Ampicillin and Aminoglycosides are commonly used to treat EOS caused by pathogens like Group B Streptococcus (GBS) and E. coli.
- Oral Caffeine Citrate is administered to neonates experiencing recurrent apneas; it relaxes smooth muscles, stimulates the CNS, and enhances cardiac function to promote breathing.
Risk Factors
- Key risk factors for complications include prematurity and low birth weight.
- For Respiratory Distress Syndrome (RDS), chest radiography may show a characteristic ground-glass opacification and reticulogranular pattern.
