Fetal Assessment Alfa feto-protein:   increase:  NTD, anencephaly, renal agenesis decrease:  IUGR, Chromosomal Trisomies 13-18-21 Amniotic Fluid Volume Estimation: Oligohydramnio:   (Less than 500 ml of fluid)  ↓  of the amniotic fluid.  Rupture of the membranes is the most common cause.  Other causes include: Placental  Insufficiency, Associated with renal or urologic abnormalities, IUGR,  lung hypoplasia,  premature rupture of membranes. Polyhydramnio:   (More than 2L of fluid).  Excess of amniotic fluid.  It is associated with diabetes,  CNS defects such as: Anencephaly, Neural Tube Defects.  Suggestive of GI anomalies such as Upper Intestinal  obstruction  like: Duodenal  atresia,  tracheo-esophageal  fistula.

Chorionic Villus Sampling:  Done in the first trimester for genetic studies.  The cells obtained are identical to those of the fetus, grown and analyzed. Complications include pregnancy loss and limb abnormalities. Amniocentesis:   Amniotic Fluid (20 ml) is withdrawn under US guidance, and is analyzed for prenatal  diagnosis of karyotypic abnormalities such as: congenital  defects, fetal lung  maturity,  and NTD.  Complications include pregnancy loss, amniotic fluid leakage, fetal injury  This process is indicated for:   Women over 35 y. of age:  ↑  risk of malformations- 21, 18, 13 trissomy  Women who had a child with a  chromossomal  abnormality.

AMNIOCENTESIS
Test of Fetal Lung Maturity Lecithin: Sphingomyelin (L:S) Ratio Lecithin:  phosphatidylcholine measured in the amniotic fluid, being the active component of  surfactant. Is manufactured by alveolar type II cells. Sphingomyelin  is a phospholipid, found in body tissues other than lungs. The L:S ratio compares levels of lecithin which increases in late gestation, to levels of  Sphingomyelin that remains constant.  The L:S ratio is  1:1 by 31-32 weeks, and 2:1 by 35 weeks gestation. L:S-2:1  Lungs are mature (98% accuracy). L:S-1.5-1.9  50% will develop Respiratory Distress Syndrome L:S-1-1.5  73% will develop Respiratory Distress Syndrome

GENETICS
Malformation   abnormality of embryonic morphogenesis of tissue.  It usually results from genetic, chromosomal, or teratogenic influences.  Malformations often require surgical intervention.  Deformation   represents a change in shape, form, or position of a  normal body part or organ due to exposure to mechanical or extrinsic forces. Majority of deformations respond to medical therapy alone  Disruption   represents a defect caused by a breakdown in a normal body part or organ. A classic example is the combination of clefting, constriction bands, and limb reduction defects associated with the presence of amniotic bands  .  Dysplasia   is characterized by abnormal organization of cells within tissue, which usually has a genetic basis. An example is achondroplasia, the most frequent form of skeletal dysplasia.  Each of these categories can have a  sequence  associated with it.  Sequence   refers to a recognizable pattern of multiple anomalies that occurs when a single problem in morphogenesis cascades, resulting in secondary and tertiary errors in morphogenesis and a corresponding series of structural alterations.  Pierre-Robin  Association  An association is a pattern of malformations that occurs together too frequently to be due to random chance alone, but for which no specific etiology is yet recognized. Mosaicism   Presence of two or more genetically different cell lines in the same individual, where one is normal. Karyotype   test to detect abnormal numbers of chromosomes and deletions, translocations, large enough  to be seen by light microscopy. FISH  Fluorescence in situ hybridization:  Hybridization of a fluorescently tagged DNA probe to  chromosome, allow  a detection of submicroscopy deletions and duplications classifications of structural anomalies

DISORDERS OF IMPRINTING 1- PRADER-WILLI  SYNDROME 2- ANGELMAN  SYNDROME
PRADER-WILLI SYNDROME A chromosome deletion of 15q11-q13 including the Prader-Willi critical region of the paternally derived chromosome 15 (majority of cases).  Maternal uniparental disomy (UPD) child inherits both copies of chromosome 15 from  mother S/S:   Newborn:   hypotonia,  history of decreased fetal movement in utero  poor sucking and swallowing    FTT  baby's cry may be weak  Mental retardation motor development/speech is delayed Infancy   Hypotonia Hyperphagia     Morbid Obesity   (trunk, buttocks, proximal limbs) Facies: bifrontal diameter is narrow, the eyes are often described as "almond shaped,"  strabismus is not unusual.  Skin:   Hypopigmentation,  hair blonde to light brown,  blue eyes Extremities:   Hands and feet are  small from birth  Short stature Genitals:  Penis and testes are hypoplastic in males.  Menarche in females is delayed or absent, and menses, when present, are sparse and irregular.  Gonadotropic hormone levels are reduced in both sexes.  Infertility is the rule.  Lab:   High resolution karyotype,  Methylation studies,  Appropriate DNA FISH probes  Tx:  Supportive, multispecialty

Prader-Willi syndrome (note the inverted V-shaped upper lip, small hands, and truncal obesity).
ANGELMAN  SYNDROME Angelman syndrome are disorders that derive from abnormalities of imprinted genes.  The critical region of chromosome 15q11-q13 for Angelman syndrome is located adjacent to the Prader Willi critical region.  Paternal UPD (uniparental disomy) child inherits both copies of chromosome 15 from father Incidence of 1 in 15,000 to 1 in 20,000 live births.  S/S: Neuro:  Developmental delay, Hypotonia  Severe cognitive deficits; speech is impaired or  absent Spontaneous laughter  Major motor seizures are common. Gait is ataxic, with toe-walking (abnormal puppet-like gait) Jerky arm movements/hand flapping.  Head/Face:  Microbrachycephaly  Maxillary hypoplasia  Large mouth Prognathism  Short stature (in adults)
Dx: Because of complexity of the diagnostic process, families of children suspected  should be referred for genetic evaluation and diagnostic testing  DNA   methylation  analysis  identifies approximately 80% of AS and is the single most sensitive test for AS.  If  DNA   methylation  analysis  is normal,  UBE3A   sequence analysis  is the next appropriate diagnostic test.  If the  DNA   methylation  analysis  is positive, the next step is  FISH  analysis.  If the  FISH  analysis is normal, studies using  DNA   polymorphism  analysis can be used to distinguish  UPD  (uniparental disomy).

WILLIAMS SYNDROME Williams syndrome  is a  an autosomal dominant  disorder caused by a deletion of about 26 genes from the long arm of Chromosome 7.  affects an estimated 1 in 7,500 to 10,000 people. S/S:  Developmental delay, highly verbal and sociable, Tend to love music, mild to moderate mental  retardation  Neonatal hypercalcemia   Head/Face:  Hoarse voice, Microcephaly Hyperacusis,  Fullness around eyes and lips, medial eyebrow flare,  Flattened nasal bridge, epicanthal fold,  Stellate  pattern of iris, long philtrium Short Stature  Poor visual-motor integration skills  Heart:  Congenital heart defects (supravalvar aortic stenosis, pulmonary stenosis, VSD, ASD) Musculoskeletal:  pectus excavatum , abnormal side-to-side or front-to-back curvature of the spine  (scoliosis or kyphosis),  an awkward gait.  mild to moderate mental retardation  Dx:  FISH  analysis Tx:   Symptomatic care is mostly supportive,  Multispecialties  ,[object Object],[object Object],Williams syndrome, also known as Williams-Beuren syndrome, is a rare genetic disorder characterized by growth delays before and after birth (prenatal and postnatal growth retardation), short stature, a varying degree of mental deficiency, and distinctive facial features that typically become more pronounced with age. Such characteristic facial features may include a round face, full cheeks, thick lips, a large mouth that is usually held open, and a broad nasal bridge with nostrils that flare forward (anteverted nares). Affected individuals may also have unusually short eyelid folds (palpebral fissures), flared eyebrows, a small lower jaw (mandible), and prominent ears. Dental abnormalities may also occur including abnormally small, underdeveloped teeth (hypodontia) with small, slender roots.  Williams syndrome may also be associated with heart (cardiac) defects, abnormally increased levels of calcium in the blood during infancy (infantile hypercalcemia), musculoskeletal defects, and/or other abnormalities. Cardiac defects may include obstruction of proper blood flow from the lower right chamber (ventricle) of the heart to the lungs (pulmonary stenosis) or abnormal narrowing above the valve in the heart between the left ventricle and the main artery of the body (supravalvular aortic stenosis). Musculoskeletal abnormalities associated with Williams syndrome may include depression of the breastbone (pectus excavatum), abnormal side-to-side or front-to-back curvature of the spine (scoliosis or kyphosis), or an awkward gait. In addition, most affected individuals have mild to moderate mental retardation; poor visual-motor integration skills; a friendly, outgoing, talkative manner of speech; a short attention span; and are easily distracted. In most individuals with Williams syndrome, the disorder appears to occur spontaneously for unknown reasons (sporadically). However, familial cases have also been reported. Sporadic and familial cases are thought to result from deletion of genetic material from adjacent genes (contiguous genes) within a specific region of chromosome 7 (7q11.23).

MPS  II- HUNTER  SYNDROME Hunter syndrome is inherited as an X-linked recessive trait. Mild and severe forms of the disorder result from changes (mutations) of a gene (IDS gene) that regulates production of the iduronate sulfatase enzyme, needed to brake complex sugars produced in the body. The IDS gene is located on the long arm (q) of chromosome X (Xq28).  S/S: Initial symptoms starts at two to four years of age.  progressive growth delays, resulting in short stature;  Head/Face:   Macrocephaly. delayed tooth eruption, progressive hearing loss, thickening of the lips,  tongue, and nostrils  Heart:  thickening of the heart valves leading to a decline in cardiac function Lungs:  Obstructive airway disease Abd:  Hepatosplenomegaly,  joint stiffness, with  restriction of movements;  Skeletal:   short neck and broad chest  Two clinical forms of Hunter syndrome have been recognized:  Early-onset , more severe form (MPS IIA), profound mental retardation may be apparent by late childhood.  Late-onset , mild form of the disease (MPS IIB), intelligence may be normal or only slightly impaired.

NEUROFIBROMATOSIS Neurofibromatosis is an autosomal dominant disorder producing tumors along the course of nerves and occasionally resulting in soft tissue or bony deformity.   Neurofibromatosis has 2 forms: Type 1 (von Recklinghausen's) is most prevalent, causing neurologic, cutaneous, orthopedic symptoms  Type 2 accounts for 10% of cases, manifesting primarily as congenital bilateral acoustic neuroma.   Genetics: NF1 gene has been localized to chromosome 17.   NF2 gene has been localized to chromosome 22.  affects about 1 in 3000 individuals.  Neurofibromas are benign tumors consisting of Schwann cells and neural fibroblasts.  There are 4 types: Cutaneous neurofibromas are soft and fleshy  Subcutaneous neurofibromas are firm and nodular.  Nodular plexiform neurofibromas may involve spinal nerve roots produce intraspinal / extraspinal masses  Plexiform neurofibromas : diffuse thickening of nerve,  present at birth in the orbital or temporal region of  the face.  Causes  overgrowth of an extremity and a deformity of the bone. There are 2 types of central (cranial nerve) neurofibromas:  Optic gliomas, which may cause progressive blindness.  NF-1  Acoustic neuromas (vestibular schwannomas), causes  dizziness, ataxia, deafness, and tinnitus.  NF-2

PHYSIOLOGY OF ASPHYXIA- APNEA PRIMARY  APNEA:   With decrease of oxygen, rapid breathing starts. If asphyxia continues, the respiratory movements cease, the  HR   falls, and the infant enters  a period of apnea known as  primary apnea.   If given O2 and stimulations during this period, it will induce breathing SECONDARY APNEA:  With continuation of asphyxia, the infant develops deep gasping  breathing, the HR   fall, and BP begins  to fall. Respiration becomes weaker until the infant take a last gasp and enters a period called  secondary  apnea.   In this period, the HR, BP, oxygen in blood (PaO2)  fall  further. The infant is unresponsive to  stimulation, and artificial ventilation with oxygen (PPV) is started.
FETAL AND NEWBORN PHYSIOLOGY  ADAPTATION When born, his  Liquid  habitat became airborne and his  nutrition  will come from different ways and  sources.  The oxygen  given by his mother  through the placenta, now comes through a mixture in  the air, by a new process;  the pulmonary respiration. The organic elements and minerals will not come anymore via maternal circulation, it will come through  the complex process of digestion, absorption and assimilation. Also excretion, becomes a vital part of  these complex processes.
The   1 st   breath begin after the NB leaves the vaginal canal, requiring a:  1-Lung expansion is due:  to a large negative intra-thoracic pressure followed, by a strong cry sufficient to open  the adhesion between the alveolar walls humidified by the amniotic liquid. 2-Pressure of 15-25 cm/H2O is necessary for this expansion. For the subsequent respiration,  it is needed a pressure of 1/3 to ¼ of the first. 3-The umbilicus clamping  ↑  BP, and massive stimulation of the sympathetic nervous system  With the onset of Respiration and lung expansion,   pulmonary vascular   resistance   ↓  with the gradual  transition from fetal to adult circulation, with the closure of foramen ovale and ductus arteriosus   Also: the first respiration is done through the: - The sensorial stimuli   represented by being exposed to a colder air than  the one inside the uterus.  -Difference between  intrauterine pressure  and  atmospheric pressure  -Complete  reabsorption of the lung fluid   -Adequate   quantity of surfactant in the alveoli , preventing atelectasia In the premature, areas of atelectasia are common and persist for a longer period .
-At birth, alveoli are filled with  “fetal lung fluid”.   -It  takes a certain amount of pressure in the lungs to overcome the fluid forces and open the alveoli for the first time.  -Around 1/3 of fetal lung fluid is removed during vaginal  delivery as  the chest is squeezed    lung fluid exits trough the nose and mouth.  -Remaining fluid passes through the alveoli into lymphatics surrounding the lungs. How quickly fluid leaves the lungs, depends  on the force of the first few breaths. The first few breaths of most newborn infants are extremely powerful, expanding the alveoli and replacing the lung fluid with air.

STAGES OF SEPSIS Systemic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (SIRS)   Is a response to an inflammation or injury that can be infectious or  noninfectious defined by having  several sign and symptoms.:  Two or more of the following: -Temperature of > 38oC or < 360C -Heart rate of > 100 BPM -Respiratory rate of > 20 or Paco2 < 32 torricelli. -WBC count >12.000/mm3  or < 4.000,  or 10% immature forms (bands) Sepsis SIRS plus a culture-documented infection Severe Septic Shock Sepsis plus organ dysfunction, hypotension (despite fluid resuscitation-decrease of systolic BP< 90mm),  hypoperfusion, plus organ dysfunction (including acidosis, oliguria, acute mental status changes)
S/S:  Fever or hypothermia , Chills, Altered Mental status,  cold/clammy extremities, and oliguria Assess chest:  tachypnea , rales, dyspnea, increase RR. Assess circulation:  HR, BP, Skin color, capillary refill,  tachycardia Assess mental status:  level of alertness, confusion, agitation Presence of petecchia/purpura:  Meningococcemia or DIC If SIRS is identified and reversed early, the subsequent inflammatory cascade can often be avoided.  This damage result in increased cardiac output, peripheral vasodilation, increased tissue oxygen consumption, and a hypermetabolic state (shock).  If SIRS is not identified and reversed early, cardiac output may fall, peripheral vascular resistance may increase, and shunting of blood may ensue (shock). This results in resultant tissue hypoxia, end-organ dysfunction, metabolic acidosis, end-organ injury and/or failure, and death.

CONGENITAL HYPOTHYROIDSM
MAPLE  SYRUP URINE DISEASE Autosomal  recessive  disease  caused by deficiency of decarboxylase  that initiates the degradation of  three branched-chain  amino acids:  leucine,  isoleucine  and  valine.  Incidence:   1:200,000 live births   S/S:   Infants appear normal at birth. If untreated, by the end of  1-2  week will develop:  Feeding intolerance (poor feeding), vomiting, typical  urine odor “ burnt sugar” or ”maple syrup” Hallmark of Ds:   Depression of CNS, alternating hypotonia/  hypertonia/seizure
It progresses to severe ketoacidosis and death.

Diagnosis:  Demonstrating reduction in Erythrocytes of:  galactose-1-phosphate uridyl-transferase Treatment:  *Is to avoid ingestion of  galactose  *Evaluate for sepsis and treat immediately, to prevent complications of  mental retardation, cataracts and cirrhosis
SICKLE CELL DISEASE Autosomal recessive disease where  Valine   is subtituted for  Glutamic acid  at codon 6 on the  B-globin chain of the Hb  Normal red blood cells contain hemoglobin A.  Patients with sickle cell ds. have RBC containing mostly hemoglobin S, an abnormal type of hemoglobin.  These RBC become sickle-shaped (crescent-shaped), having difficulty passing through small blood vessels.  The most common types of sickle cell disease are 3 forms of genotypes:  HbSS Ds  (sickle cell anemia),  HbSC Ds  (sickle-Hb C Ds),  HbS-B   Sickle Beta Thalassemia.  Incidence:  1:500 ( in the Black population) live births.
Why is it important to know if I have sickle cell trait? Sickle cell trait is inherited from one’s parents, like hair or eye color.  If one parent has sickle cell trait there is a 50% (one in two) chance with each pregnancy of having a child with sickle cell trait. If both parents have sickle cell trait there is a 25% (one in four) chance with each pregnancy of having a child with sickle cell disease.  When affects one chromossome, the heterozygous condition    S.C. Trait When affects both chromossomes, the homozygous condition    S.C. Ds When one chromossome makes HbS and the other makes no hemoglobin (B-thalassemia trait)    HbS-B. Sickle cell Ds is a lifelong illness that result in serious health problems.  For this reason, trait awareness is very important.
Hemoglobin A:   Is a normal Hb that exist after birth. It is a tetramer with 2 alpha and 2 Beta chain  (A2B2) Hemoglobin A2:   Is a minor component of the Hb found in RBC after birth, and consist of 2 alpha and 2 Delta chains  (A2d2).  Less than 3% of total Hb Hemoglobin F:   Is the predominant Hb during fetal development. The molecule is a tretamer of 2 alpha and 2 Gamma chains  (a2g2).   Hemoglobin S:   Is the predominant Hb in people with sickle cell disease. The alpha chain is normal. The disease-producing mutation exists in the beta chain, giving the molecule the structure,  (a2bS2).  People who have one sickle mutant gene and one normal beta gene have  sickle cell trait  which is benign.  Hemoglobin C:   Results from a mutation in the beta globin gene and is the predominant Hb found in people with Hb C disease  (a2bC2).
S/S:  -Appears at about 6 months of age when HbF is substituted by HbS -Early signs are delayed: growth and development, fever, infections Hallmark is Fever   Characterized by:   hemolisis, vascular occlusion, infection.  Hand/foot  Syndrome- Dactylitis:   -Most common age: 6 months to 3 years ( range 3 months – 5 years) -Often the first clinical manifestation -Symmetrical painful swelling of hands/feet. Refuses to bear weight. Fever Sudden and massive splenic sequestration:   (acute blood trapping  in spleen resulting in fall in Hb due to sickling).

DACTILITIS
 
CONGENITAL ADRENAL HYPERPLASIA (CAH) Congenital adrenal hyperplasia is a group of genetic disorders, characterized by  inadequate synthesis of  cortisol (glucocorticoid), aldosterone  (mineralocorticoid), or both  because of an autosomal recessive genetic defect in one of the adrenal enzymes.  In the most common form , 21- hydroxylase deficiency  accumulate and are shunted into adrenal androgens.  The consequent excess androgen secretion causes varying degrees of virilization in external genitals of affected female fetuses; no defects are discernible in external genitals of male fetuses.   Complete 21- hydroxylase deficiency, the salt-wasting form, accounts for 75% of  deficiency cases. The salt-wasting form  is the most severe form of 21-hydroxylase deficiency;  aldosterone is not secreted and salt is lost, leading to hyponatremia, hyperkalemia, and increased plasma renin activity.  Partial 21- hydroxylase deficiency causes a less severe, non–salt-losing form, in which aldosterone levels are normal or only slightly decreased. *Incidence:   1:10,000/15,000 Live Births
 
S/S:  Non-Salt losing:  Males:  External genitalia ambiguous:  incompletely virilized   Testes are rudimentar.  Absence of  Wolffian duct structures:  (seminal vesicle, epididymus, vasa deferens) Premature sexual development:  Penis and scrotal enlargement, acne, hyperpigmentation of genitals, appearance of pubic hair, voice deepening  Females:   External genitalia virilized (clitoris enlargement, labial fusion, acne, pubic and axillary hair development, deep voice)  Ovaries present, testes are absent, present  Mullerian structures (uterus, fallopian tube, upper vagina)
Salt Losing:  FTT,  dehydration,  anorexia,  vomiting.  Cardiovascular collapse.  Female infants with  salt-wasting form will have :  ambiguous external genitals,  clitoral enlargement,  fusion of the labia majora,  urogenital sinus rather than urethral / vaginal openings  reproductive function may be impaired as they reach adulthood,  they may have labial fusion  anovulatory cycles or amenorrhea. Some males   infants have normal sexual development,  are fertile as adults, but others have Leydig cell dysfunction, and decreased testosterone, and impaired spermatogenesis.   Manifest as adrenal crisis:   lethargy, hypotension, hypoglycemia, hyponatremia, hyperkalemia, shock  as well as virilization.
Screening:  Levels of 17-hydroxyprogesterone   elevated   Levels of  17-ketosteroids   elevated  Serum testosterone  ( elevated) Aldosterone   (decreased) Serum cortisol   (low) hyponatremia,  hyperkalemia, hypoglycemia Treatment: -Glucocorticoid therapy: cortisone acetate IM 2-3 days  -Mineralocorticoid therapy:  fludrocortisone acetate (Florinef)  -Surgical correction of female virilization  -Prevent salt-losing crisis - Na supplementation -Refer to an  Endocrinologist and a Geneticist.

Factors influencing  fetal growth
 
PREMATURITY
PREMATURITY  Child born before the 38 th   week of gestation from the  1 ST  day of the  LMP  It is responsible for most of the newborn diseases and mortality. Anatomical characteristics:  Weight:   Less than 2500g   Height:   Less than 45cm   HC:   Less than 32cm PREMATURITY  CAUSES: Maternal:   Age: Under 18 and above 35 years  Smoking Anomalies: Miomas, Adnexal tumors, Placental Insufficiency Placenta abruptio, Placenta previa  Infections: Toxoplasmosis, Syphilis, Rubella, CMV,UTI Chronic Disease: Anemia, Heart disease, Hypertension Drug abuse Precarious prenatal care Lower Socioeconomic status Deficient nutrition: protein ingestion lower than 50g/day Fetal:  twins,  genetic, polyhydramnio
Physiological Characteristics: Increase risk of infection: Due to immunologic immaturity Increase handling time Decrease transmission of maternal antibodies Increase risk of neonatal jaundice:  Due to hepatic immaturity:  Low amount of Vit-K Decrease elements of the prothrombinic complex Prolong jaundice Capilar fragility Increase risk of hemorrhagic disturbances Frequent hemorrhage, mainly in brain (germinal matrix and extend to ventricles) High risk of having developmental delay, cerebral palsy, or learning disorders. Increase frequency of respiratory disturbances:   Apnea,  asphyxia,  RDS due to pulmonary immaturity (lower # of alveoli)  Immaturity of respiratory centers Weakness of respiratory muscles  The area of brain that controls the breathing is so immature, that the newborns breathe inconsistently with short pauses in breathing, or present periods where breathing stops for 20 seconds or longer (apnea)
Increase risk in the  Fluid/electrolytic disturbances:  Renal immaturity, with difficult to regulate  amount of water and salt in body Decrease capacity of metabolites excretion Increased risk of metabolic disturbances:   Hypoglycemia,  acidosis,  hypocalcemia,  hypomagnesemia  Increase risk for desnutrition:   Suction and swallowing impaired  Digestion and absorption of fat and Vit (ADEK)  Protein and glucose levels are low (without regular feedings) Precarious body temperature control:   Due to immaturity of thermoregulatory centers. Larger corporeal area in relation to weight lose heat faster Absence of sweat Decrease of subcutaneous tissue Exposed to cold temperature, they generate extra body heat, increasing rate of metabolism, Decreasing their gain weight.
S/S:  -Small size -Large head in relation to size of body -Anterior and posterior fontanels wide open  -Bone separation in skull -Small facies and old age look (senile)  -Trunk large and elongated -Skin: Shiny, soft ,red and pink/red at beginning  -Visible veins under skin  -Short legs and thin, with few creases on soles of feet -Lanugo covering his body that give him a simian aspect  -Subcutaneous  fat tissue is scarce   -Absence of testicle in scrotum in boys, absence of labia majora not yet covering the labia minora in girls  -Reduced muscles tone   -General aspect of fragility, weak cry and scream, sleeps most of the time  -Weak suction, poor coordinated sucking and swallowing reflexes.

Glucose control in DM resulting in lower incidence of abnormalities. Proper nutrition, exercise, smoking cessation, abstinence from Alcohol Protection from radiation (x rays), and drugs to avoid teratogenicity Infection control: STD and rubella Tx, hepatitis immunity status
  • 4. Prenatal Care GYN-Menstrual History / Parental medical history: DM, Htn, Cardiac, Thyroid, Anemia, Genetic disease, Habits: Tobacco, Alcohol, Drugs, Diet, Activities, Caffeine intake, Meds Obstetric History: -Dates of all pregnancies including termination, spontaneous abortion -Outcome and gestational length of pregnancy -Neonatal complications, Rh incompatibility, Malformations -Weight, Apgar score, and number of live born infants. -Types of delivery: vaginal delivery, forceps, C-section, Breech Complications: Shoulder dystocia, premature labor, placenta previa, post-partum hemorrhage
  • 5. Laboratory Evaluation-Baseline -CBC (Ht/Hb), U/A (protein, glucose, C/S), ABO blood type, Rh type -VDRL/RPR test, Cervical culture for GC and Chlamydia -Rubella antibody titer, Hepatitis B surface antigen, CMV titers, Toxoplasmosis antibody test - Hemoglobin electrophoresis for risk groups: Sickle cell in African American, B-thalassemia in Mediterranean -Tay-Sachs, Gaucher, Kanavan, Newman-Pick testing in Jews -HIV antibody testing if suspected ( patient authorization)
  • 6. During Pregnancy 1. 10 weeks. Chorionic Villus Sampling (TAY-SACHS) 2. 15-18 weeks. Serum triple-screen for NTD (AFP, beta-HCG, estriol) or Serum quadruple by adding Inhibin. AFP down, B-HCG up, Estriol Down = DOWN Syndrome or chromosomal defect AFP elevated levels = Fetal neural tube defects 3. 15 -19 weeks. Amniocentesis (karyotypic/cong ab,), TAY-SACH TEST U/S ↑ 35 Y (risk of genetic or chromosomal disorders) 4. 26 weeks. Blood glucose screen (one hour Glucola test). 5. 26-32 weeks. Ht / Hb (Iron def.) and L/S ratio 2:1 (fetal lung maturity) 6. 34-36 weeks. Consider GC, Chlamydia, Herpes, Syphilis screening in high-risk women. 7. 36-37 weeks. Screening for G-B Streptococcus
  • 7. Fetal Assessment Alfa feto-protein: increase: NTD, anencephaly, renal agenesis decrease: IUGR, Chromosomal Trisomies 13-18-21 Amniotic Fluid Volume Estimation: Oligohydramnio: (Less than 500 ml of fluid) ↓ of the amniotic fluid. Rupture of the membranes is the most common cause. Other causes include: Placental Insufficiency, Associated with renal or urologic abnormalities, IUGR, lung hypoplasia, premature rupture of membranes. Polyhydramnio: (More than 2L of fluid). Excess of amniotic fluid. It is associated with diabetes, CNS defects such as: Anencephaly, Neural Tube Defects. Suggestive of GI anomalies such as Upper Intestinal obstruction like: Duodenal atresia, tracheo-esophageal fistula.
  • 10. Chorionic Villus Sampling: Done in the first trimester for genetic studies. The cells obtained are identical to those of the fetus, grown and analyzed. Complications include pregnancy loss and limb abnormalities. Amniocentesis: Amniotic Fluid (20 ml) is withdrawn under US guidance, and is analyzed for prenatal diagnosis of karyotypic abnormalities such as: congenital defects, fetal lung maturity, and NTD. Complications include pregnancy loss, amniotic fluid leakage, fetal injury This process is indicated for: Women over 35 y. of age: ↑ risk of malformations- 21, 18, 13 trissomy Women who had a child with a chromossomal abnormality. To rule out Inborn Errors of Metabolism
  • 11. CHORIONIC VILLUS SAMPLING
  • 13. Test of Fetal Lung Maturity Lecithin: Sphingomyelin (L:S) Ratio Lecithin: phosphatidylcholine measured in the amniotic fluid, being the active component of surfactant. Is manufactured by alveolar type II cells. Sphingomyelin is a phospholipid, found in body tissues other than lungs. The L:S ratio compares levels of lecithin which increases in late gestation, to levels of Sphingomyelin that remains constant. The L:S ratio is 1:1 by 31-32 weeks, and 2:1 by 35 weeks gestation. L:S-2:1 Lungs are mature (98% accuracy). L:S-1.5-1.9 50% will develop Respiratory Distress Syndrome L:S-1-1.5 73% will develop Respiratory Distress Syndrome
  • 14. Human embryo of 7 weeks
  • 15. Beyond 8 weeks, the Embryo is called Fetus
  • 16. Critical Periods of Human Development
  • 17. OBSTETRIC COMPLICATIONS ASSOCIATED WITH FETAL OR NEONATAL RISK Vaginal Bleeding: In the 1 st or early in 2 nd trimester. due to threatened or actual spontaneous abortion Vaginal bleeding with Continuous Pregnancy: Fetus at risk for congenital or chromosomal disorders . Premature Rupture of Membranes: Occurs in absence of labor. Associated with risk of maternal or fetal infection: G-B Strep, E.coli, lysteria Prolonged Rupture of the Membranes: Greater than 24 Hours. Associated with risk of maternal or fetal infection: G-B Strep, E.coli, lysteria Toxemia of Pregnancy or Pre-Eclampsia: Is probably of vascular etiology that may result in: Maternal HTN, IUGR IU asphyxia. Vaginal Bleeding that is painless: Is not associated with labor. Occur in late 2nd or in the 3rd trimester. Often is Placenta Previa -
  • 18. Abnormalities of Placenta: Large infarcts: Associated with mal-nutrition. Placenta Previa: Premature separation of placenta and impairment of fetal O2 Large Placenta: Associated with erythroblastosis fetalis and maternal diabetes. Amniom Nodosum: Associated with hypoplastic lung and polycystic kidneys Small Placenta: Associated with SGA infant. Amniotic Fluid: Clear: Normal Dark Green: Meconium stained. Consider recent IU anoxia Yellow: Intrauterine anoxia episode of 10 days previously Clots: Placental hemorrhage Light Green: Bile stained. Consider intestinal obstruction. Brown-Hazel: Fetal death
  • 19.  
  • 20.  
  • 21. PLACENTA PREVIA PLACENTA PREVIA OCCURS WHEN ANY PART OF THE PLACENTA IMPLANTS IN THE LOWER UTERINE SEGMENT
  • 22. ABRUPTIO PLACENTA COMPLETE OR PARTIAL PLACENTAL SEPARATION FROM THE DECIDUA BASALIS AFTER 20 WEEKS GESTATION
  • 24. Malformation abnormality of embryonic morphogenesis of tissue. It usually results from genetic, chromosomal, or teratogenic influences. Malformations often require surgical intervention. Deformation represents a change in shape, form, or position of a normal body part or organ due to exposure to mechanical or extrinsic forces. Majority of deformations respond to medical therapy alone Disruption represents a defect caused by a breakdown in a normal body part or organ. A classic example is the combination of clefting, constriction bands, and limb reduction defects associated with the presence of amniotic bands . Dysplasia is characterized by abnormal organization of cells within tissue, which usually has a genetic basis. An example is achondroplasia, the most frequent form of skeletal dysplasia. Each of these categories can have a sequence associated with it. Sequence refers to a recognizable pattern of multiple anomalies that occurs when a single problem in morphogenesis cascades, resulting in secondary and tertiary errors in morphogenesis and a corresponding series of structural alterations. Pierre-Robin Association An association is a pattern of malformations that occurs together too frequently to be due to random chance alone, but for which no specific etiology is yet recognized. Mosaicism Presence of two or more genetically different cell lines in the same individual, where one is normal. Karyotype test to detect abnormal numbers of chromosomes and deletions, translocations, large enough to be seen by light microscopy. FISH Fluorescence in situ hybridization: Hybridization of a fluorescently tagged DNA probe to chromosome, allow a detection of submicroscopy deletions and duplications classifications of structural anomalies
  • 25. ABNORMALITIES OF AUTOSOMES 1- DOWN SYNDROME- TRISOMY 21 2-TRISOMY 13 3-TRISOMY 18
  • 26. TRYSSOMY 21- DOWN SYNDROME Is a syndrome consisting of multiple abnormalities. It is the most common autosomal chromosomal abnormality. Incidence: 1:600 live births Male : Female ratio is 1.3:1 Maternal age: 15-29 years  1/1500 30-34 years  1/800 35-39 years  1/250 40-44 years  1/100 Over 45 years  1/50 Genetics: 90-92% of cases are due to chromossomal non-disjunction (failure to segregate during meiosis) in the maternal DNA and 3% in the paternal DNA 4% due to Translocation between chromossome 21 and 14 1% Mosaic

If asphyxia continues, the respiratory movements cease, the HR  falls, and the infant enters a period of apnea known as primary apnea. If given O2 and stimulations during this period, it will induce breathing SECONDARY APNEA: With continuation of asphyxia, the infant develops deep gasping breathing, the HR  fall, and BP begins to fall. Respiration becomes weaker until the infant take a last gasp and enters a period called secondary apnea. In this period, the HR, BP, oxygen in blood (PaO2) fall further. The infant is unresponsive to stimulation, and artificial ventilation with oxygen (PPV) is started.
  • 142. FETAL AND NEWBORN PHYSIOLOGY ADAPTATION When born, his Liquid habitat became airborne and his nutrition will come from different ways and sources. The oxygen given by his mother through the placenta, now comes through a mixture in the air, by a new process; the pulmonary respiration. The organic elements and minerals will not come anymore via maternal circulation, it will come through the complex process of digestion, absorption and assimilation. Also excretion, becomes a vital part of these complex processes.
  • 143. The 1 st breath begin after the NB leaves the vaginal canal, requiring a: 1-Lung expansion is due: to a large negative intra-thoracic pressure followed, by a strong cry sufficient to open the adhesion between the alveolar walls humidified by the amniotic liquid. 2-Pressure of 15-25 cm/H2O is necessary for this expansion. For the subsequent respiration, it is needed a pressure of 1/3 to ¼ of the first. 3-The umbilicus clamping ↑ BP, and massive stimulation of the sympathetic nervous system With the onset of Respiration and lung expansion, pulmonary vascular resistance ↓ with the gradual transition from fetal to adult circulation, with the closure of foramen ovale and ductus arteriosus Also: the first respiration is done through the: - The sensorial stimuli represented by being exposed to a colder air than the one inside the uterus. -Difference between intrauterine pressure and atmospheric pressure -Complete reabsorption of the lung fluid -Adequate quantity of surfactant in the alveoli , preventing atelectasia In the premature, areas of atelectasia are common and persist for a longer period .
  • 144. -At birth, alveoli are filled with “fetal lung fluid”. -It takes a certain amount of pressure in the lungs to overcome the fluid forces and open the alveoli for the first time. -Around 1/3 of fetal lung fluid is removed during vaginal delivery as the chest is squeezed  lung fluid exits trough the nose and mouth. -Remaining fluid passes through the alveoli into lymphatics surrounding the lungs. How quickly fluid leaves the lungs, depends on the force of the first few breaths. The first few breaths of most newborn infants are extremely powerful, expanding the alveoli and replacing the lung fluid with air.

  • 175. SICKLE CELL DISEASE Autosomal recessive disease where Valine is subtituted for Glutamic acid at codon 6 on the B-globin chain of the Hb Normal red blood cells contain hemoglobin A. Patients with sickle cell ds. have RBC containing mostly hemoglobin S, an abnormal type of hemoglobin. These RBC become sickle-shaped (crescent-shaped), having difficulty passing through small blood vessels. The most common types of sickle cell disease are 3 forms of genotypes: HbSS Ds (sickle cell anemia), HbSC Ds (sickle-Hb C Ds), HbS-B Sickle Beta Thalassemia. Incidence: 1:500 ( in the Black population) live births.
  • 176. Why is it important to know if I have sickle cell trait? Sickle cell trait is inherited from one’s parents, like hair or eye color. If one parent has sickle cell trait there is a 50% (one in two) chance with each pregnancy of having a child with sickle cell trait. If both parents have sickle cell trait there is a 25% (one in four) chance with each pregnancy of having a child with sickle cell disease. When affects one chromossome, the heterozygous condition  S.C. Trait When affects both chromossomes, the homozygous condition  S.C. Ds When one chromossome makes HbS and the other makes no hemoglobin (B-thalassemia trait)  HbS-B. Sickle cell Ds is a lifelong illness that result in serious health problems. For this reason, trait awareness is very important.

Less than 3% of total Hb Hemoglobin F: Is the predominant Hb during fetal development. The molecule is a tretamer of 2 alpha and 2 Gamma chains (a2g2). Hemoglobin S: Is the predominant Hb in people with sickle cell disease. The alpha chain is normal. The disease-producing mutation exists in the beta chain, giving the molecule the structure, (a2bS2). People who have one sickle mutant gene and one normal beta gene have sickle cell trait which is benign. Hemoglobin C: Results from a mutation in the beta globin gene and is the predominant Hb found in people with Hb C disease (a2bC2).

CONGENITAL ADRENAL HYPERPLASIA (CAH) Congenital adrenal hyperplasia is a group of genetic disorders, characterized by inadequate synthesis of cortisol (glucocorticoid), aldosterone (mineralocorticoid), or both because of an autosomal recessive genetic defect in one of the adrenal enzymes. In the most common form , 21- hydroxylase deficiency accumulate and are shunted into adrenal androgens. The consequent excess androgen secretion causes varying degrees of virilization in external genitals of affected female fetuses; no defects are discernible in external genitals of male fetuses. Complete 21- hydroxylase deficiency, the salt-wasting form, accounts for 75% of deficiency cases. The salt-wasting form is the most severe form of 21-hydroxylase deficiency; aldosterone is not secreted and salt is lost, leading to hyponatremia, hyperkalemia, and increased plasma renin activity. Partial 21- hydroxylase deficiency causes a less severe, non–salt-losing form, in which aldosterone levels are normal or only slightly decreased. *Incidence: 1:10,000/15,000 Live Births

If not palpated, think about Agenesis or hipoplasia. Large kidney may be due to Tumor, obstruction, cystic disease. Meconium should pass up to 48 hours of life Patency of anus and presence of fistulas

Metatarsus Varus- Adduction of forefoot. Corrects spontaneously Palsies (brachial plexus injury) Palmar/Simian creases: Down Syndrome. Sometimes is a normal variant Polydactyly (x-ray- bony structures) Syndactyly (3 rd /4 th fingers and 2 nd /3 rd toes- surgery older age) Spine – Sacral dimples, hair tufts (spina bifida), scoliosis, meningocele, Kyphosis, Lordosis Hip dislocation: Barlow test (adduct the hip) Ortolani maneuver (abduct the hip) Affects more white females, affects more the left hip. 2 signs: shortening of leg, asymmetry of skin folds.
  • 246. Neurologic: Symmetry of movements, irritability, alertness, posture Muscle tone: Hypotonia- Floppiness, head lag Hypertonia- ↑ resistance when arms/legs are extended. Tight clenched fists. Reflexes: Moro, rooting, sucking, grasping, fencing, stepping, placing Glabellar reflex (blink reflex) Reflexes must be symmetrical. Biceps jerk test C 5-6. Knee jerk test L 2-4 Ankle jerk test S 1-2 Truncal innervation reflex test T2 trough S1 Anal wink test S4-5 Sensory abilities- Hearing, smell Movement - Check for spontaneous movements of limbs, trunk, face, neck Fine tremor is normal, Clonic movements are not normal, related to seizures.
  • 247. Posture: Term infants- Hips abducted and partially flexed and knees flexed Arms are abducted and flexed at the elbow. Fists are clenched with fingers covering the thumb Retina: developed at birth, with immobile lens. Poor visual acuity 20/400 Acuity improves fast over 6 months, with fixation/tracking well developed by 2 months. Cry: high pitch- CNS Ds (hemorrhage) Weak cry- Systemic Ds., Congenital Neuromuscular disorder S/S of neurologic disorders; Sx of ICP: Bulging Ant. Fontanelle, dilated scalp veins, setting-sun eyes, separated sutures Hypotonia/ Hypertonia/ Irritability/ Apathy Poor sucking and swallowing reflexes Shallow irregular respirations, Apnea Asymmetric or absent, depressed or exaggerated reflexes
  • 248. Neurologic: Symmetry of movements: Injury to nerves of Brachial plexus: excessive traction on neck Erb’s-Duchenne palsy : -Injury of Superior brachial plexus (C5-C6) -Cannot abduct the arm at the shoulder, externally rotate the arm, supinate the forearm - “Waiter tip” position - wrist flexed . -Absent Moro reflex on affected side Klumpke: Injury of inferior brachial plexus (C7/8-T1) Paralyzed hand: Wrist drop Phrenic Nerve palsy: Injury to C3, 4, 5  Diaphragmatic paralysis Respiratory distress

Skin: White Infants: Pink Color Black Infants: Reddish Color with scrotum, labia minora pigmented Newborn Infant: Vernix Caseosa: white-normal disappear in 12 hours Meconium-Fetal distress Green or yellow- Hemolitic disease Absence/Reduction- Post Maturity Term Infant Texture: Skin very smooth (like velvet) Premature Infant texture: Softer and Thinner, with wrinkles and scarcity of subcutaneous tissue. Post term Texture: Dry and Scaly
  • 265. Vernix Caseosa: Soft white greasy cream made of sebum and desquamated epithelial cells covering the skin, mainly the preterm. Protects the infant I.U during delivery, against bruising. Lanugo: Fine hair on shoulders, Ear, Back. Occur in prematures Disappear within 2-3 weeks. The head hair are soft being abundant in some cases Pallor: Generalized Pallor may indicate Anoxia (slow pulse) or severe anemia (rapid pulse). Can be secondary to anemia, birth asphyxia, shock, PDA, low Hb.

  • 268. Cyanosis: Central- bluish skin, including tongue and lips: Caused by low oxygen saturation in blood. Associated with congenital heart or lung Ds. Peripheral- bluish skin with pink lips and tongue: associated with methemoglobinemia. Is when Hb oxidizes from ferrous to ferric form. TX: use methylene blue Is also common in newborns, mainly in prematures in hemolytic Ds. Urgent treatment. Think Hypoxemia Plethora: Associated with Polycythemia (rosy red color. Order Hb) Jaundice (yellowish color): Associated with elevated bilirubin > 5mg/dl

Response to temperature of the place (vasomotor instability) Acrocyanosis: Cyanosis in the extremity. If does not disappear within 12 hours or with warming, think cyanotic congenital heart disease. associated with hypoxia Harlequin color: Is a vasomotor instability, where lower half becomes bright red, and the upper half becomes pale. Can be benign, transient and last < 20 minutes or be a shunting of blood (pulmonary HTN or CoA).
