Steps in Weighing a Small baby with the Mother Caregiver.

Use an adult weighing scale. The zero error. Babies should be weighed naked or with minimal clothing. Ask the mother/caregiver to take the baby in her lap and stand in the middle of the scale, feet slightly apart and to remain still. Take theMeasurement (WW2) Now weigh the mother alone without the baby (WI Calculate baby’s weight: W2-W Note: If the mother is very heavy (eg, 100 kg, then a lighter person should hold the baby on the tared scale.

Panel 3: Steps in measuring standing height (Fig. 2.6)

The child’s footwear and any hair tie-up should be removed. The child should stand on the height board with the back of the head, shoulders, buttocks, calves, and heels touching the Vertical board.Position the head such that the child is looking straight ahead (the line joining the external auditory meatus and the lower border of the eyeball should be parallel to the floor! With the child still in this position, the headboard is gently pulled down to rest firmly on the head. Measure the height in this position.

Disorders of Respiratory System

Diseases of the cardiovascular system are an important cause of childhood morbidity and mortality. The majority of heart diseases presenting in early childhood are congenital, resulting from structural defects during development. Rheumatic heart disease continues to be prevalent in selected regions in India. Systemic hypertension is increasingly recognized in childhood and predisposes to cardiovascular morbidity in adulthood. A variety of other cardiovascular conditions may present in childhood. Infection or exposure to corona results in unique cardiovascular manifestations in children.

The management of children with cardiovascular diseases requires an integrated approach with inputs from various specialties. There have been substantial advances in the field of pediatric cardiology and pediatric cardiac surgery that have dramatically transformed the outlook of children with heart disease.

Anatomic Variations Intetralogy of Fallot’s

Diagrammatic portrayal: (a) Ventricular septal defect; (b) Ventricular septal defect with moderate pulmonic stenosis; and (c) Fallot’s tetralogy. (a) In the absence of pulmonic stenosis, the right ventricular (RV) and the pulmonary artery (PA) pressures are normal or slightly elevated. Since the left ventricular (LV) pressure is higher, there is a systolic flow of blood from the LV into the PA through the RV (b) If a VSD is associated with moderate pulmonic stenosis, the RV systolic pressure increases and there is RV hypertrophy. The left-to-right shunt decreases and the VSD murmur becomes softer. The pulmonic stenosis murmur, however, is loud (c). In Fallot’s tetralogy, the RV and LV pressures are identical. There is no left-to-right shunt and as such the VSD is silent. The flow from RV to PA decreases, decreasing the intensity of pulmonic stenosis murmur. A right-to-left shunt occurs from RV to aorta (Ao) at identical pressures. As such the right-to-left shunt is silent

Etiopathogenesis

Presumed pathogenesis of rheumatic ; it is likely that the endothelium suffers initial damage due to a humoral immune response, the damage resulting in vascular cell adhesion molecule 1 (VCAM-1) being expressed on the endothelium. This is followed by activation of cellular immune response. As a result CD4+, CD8+, T lymphocytes and macrophages get attached to the valvar endothelium and migrate to the connective tissue core. This sets up an inflammatory response. The inflammation is accompanied by neovascularization of the valve substance GAS group A streptococcus; INF- gamma interferon; TNF- necrosis factor alpha Th1 T helper cells

Sturge Weber Syndrome

Sturge-Weber Syndrome

This is a sporadic disorder characterized by a facial nevus or ‘port wine stain’ (Fig. 19.4a) in the distribution of the first branch of the trigeminal nerve along with an ipsilateral ‘rail road pattern’ of intracranial calcification (Fig 19.4b) and . The major manifestation is contralateral hemiplegia and intractable focal seizures which may lead to intellectual disability. Control of seizures may require surgery. Regular eye evaluation is necessary to monitor.
