Evaluation of neonates involves blood tests, blood gases, glucose and ammonia levels, urine analysis, and plasma amino acid analysis to identify specific disorders. Management involves identifying and limiting the offending substance

1. Gingival enlargement has many potential causes including inflammatory, drug-induced, systemic diseases, and neoplasms.
2. Drug-induced gingival enlargement can be caused by anticonvulsants, immunosuppressants, and calcium channel blockers through various mechanisms like stimulating fibroblast proliferation.
3. Conditioned gingival enlargements are magnified responses to existing inflammation and can be seen in hormonal conditions like pregnancy and nutritional deficiencies such as vitamin C deficiency.
Gingival enlargement has many potential causes and presentations. It can be classified based on etiology into inflammatory, drug-induced, disease-associated, and neoplastic types. Phenytoin, cyclosporine, and calcium channel blockers are common drugs that can cause gingival enlargement. The enlargement starts at the interdental papilla and spreads to the marginal gingiva. Treatment options include changing medications, nonsurgical treatments like scaling and root planing, and surgical procedures.
Management of common dyselectrolytaemias in obstetrics.pptxDr. Adamu Ibrahim
Electrolyte levels undergo changes during pregnancy to support fetal growth and development. Sodium levels decrease slightly due to increased fluid retention driven by hormones. Bicarbonate levels also decrease mildly due to respiratory alkalosis. Magnesium requirements increase and deficiencies can impact placental development and fetal growth. Calcium transfer to the fetus is actively mediated by placental hormones against a concentration gradient. Deviations from the normal electrolyte ranges can impact both mother and fetus, so identifying abnormal changes is important for prevention and treatment.
The tongue is made up of papillae and muscles that contain different types of taste buds. Appearances such as color, size, ulcers, and tremors can provide clues to underlying diseases or deficiencies. Common tongue conditions include hairy tongue, leukoplakia, candidiasis, fissures, and geographic tongue. Diseases like anemia, scurvy, cancer, and infections can cause changes to the tongue's color, surface, movements, and size. A thorough exam of the tongue is important for diagnosis.
Sodium imbalance can cause hyponatremia or hypernatremia. Hyponatremia is defined as a serum sodium level below 135 mmol/L and can be caused by conditions that decrease sodium levels like diuretic use. Hypernatremia is a serum sodium over 145 mmol/L due to inadequate sodium retention. Both conditions require slow correction to avoid complications like osmotic demyelination syndrome from overly rapid changes. Proper treatment depends on the severity and chronicity of the sodium imbalance.
This document discusses the treatment and management of encephalitis. The main aims are to maintain vital functions, provide symptomatic management, ensure adequate nutrition, and prevent neurological sequelae. Specific treatments are outlined for different causes of encephalitis, including acyclovir for herpes simplex encephalitis, doxycycline for rickettsia, and amphotericin B or fluconazole for cryptococcal infections. Complications can include personality changes, speech and language problems, memory issues, and epilepsy. The prognosis depends on the cause, with an overall 5% mortality rate and two-thirds of survivors usually recovering fully.
Symptomatic therapy:
Raised intracranial pressure- 20% Mannitol i.v 0.5 g/kg every 4-6 hr for maximum 6 doses.
Convulsions-Diazepam i.v followed by phenytoin.
Dyselectrolytemia-Maintenance fluids.
Hydrocephalus and persistent decerebration-Ventriculocaval shunt.
Tuberculous Meningitis,
Meningitis is a complication of childhood TB
More common at the age of 6 and 24 months of age
There is usually a focus of primary infection or miliary tuberculosis.
If untreated, high frequency of neurological sequelae and mortality occurs.
VIRAL MENINGOENCEPHALITIS
CSF PRESSURE : Normal or Slightly raised (80-150 mm of H20)
LEUCOCYTES : few-1000 cells/mm3 - Initially poly morpho nuclear later mononuclear cells predominate
PROTEIN : Usually 50 -200 mg/dL
GLUCOSE : Normal or slightly reduced
ACUTE DISSEMINATED ENCEPHALOMYELITIS
CSF PRESSURE : Normal or Slightly raised
LEUCOCYTES: 100 cells/mm3, lymphocytosis
PROTEIN : Mildly elevated
GLUCOSE : Normal
csf findings:
Elevated pressure , turbid.
Elevated cell count >1000/mm3 , mostly polymorphic neutrophil.
Protiens are elevated above 100mg/dl.
Sugar is reduced below 50% of blood sugar level or below 40mg /dl.
Microspic examination of sediments with gram stain helps to identify organisms.
Collect CSF for culture.
In partially treated cases CSF is clear with more lymphocytes, culture is usually sterile.
Is an inflammatory process of brain parenchyma.
Occurs most often in the first year of life
M/C in world and in INDIA _ Japanese encephalitis
In immunocompetent host- Vaicella , EBV, herpes

*PROGNOSIS AND PREVENTION
INITIAL STABILIZATION
•
Airway, breathing and circulation must be
maintained
•
Correct shock, respiratory distress , multiple
organ system failure
•
Paediatric intensive care unit (PICU) until the
child is stable.
•
Monitoring of pulse rate, BP and respiratory rate
•
Frequent neurologic assessment
Cranium is the skeleton of the head.
Neurocranium is the bony case of the brain and meninges. It is formed by a series of eight bones:
Unpaired: Frontal, Ethmoid, Sphenoid & Occipital
Paired : Temporal, Parietal
Ethmoid bone relatively minor contribution
These agents are simple nitric and nitrous acid esters of polyalcohols. Otherwise called, Nitro-vasodilators
Nitroglycerin may be considered the prototype of the group.
Important molecular donors of exogenous nitric oxide.
Denitration of the organic nitrates to liberate nitric oxide.
Relax smooth muscle (especially vascular smooth muscle, but also other types including oesophageal and biliary smooth muscle).
This document outlines the classification of breast tumours according to histopathology, grade, stage, receptor status, and DNA. It describes the WHO histological classification including epithelial and stromal tumours of the breast, as well as tumours of the male breast and nipple. Benign and malignant epithelial lesions are defined. Malignant lesions include carcinoma in situ (DCIS and LCIS) and invasive carcinoma. Molecular subtypes and specific tumour types such as lobular carcinoma are also detailed. The classification of stromal tumours, tumours of the male breast, and nipple are summarized.
Paranasal sinuses are a group of air containing spaces that surround the nasal cavity and directly open into the nasal cavity through their ostia.
Lined by pseudo stratified columnar epithelium

This document provides information on femoral triangle anatomy, femoral hernia, and umbilical hernia. It describes the boundaries of the femoral triangle and sheath. It then discusses the presentation, types, investigations, and surgical treatments of femoral hernia using various approaches like Lockwood, Lotheissen, and McEvedy. For umbilical hernia, it outlines the causes in children versus adults and various surgical repair techniques like Mayo's repair and mesh repair options based on hernia size and location.
