ALL counselling
We think there is something more serious going on We’re concerned that the tiredness, shortness of breath and some of the signs I found could be the cause of something sinister. The most important thing we want to rule out is leukaemia - this is cancer of the white cells in blood. I know cancer is a scary word to be thinking out but it’s important we know if this is the case so we can treat ASAP Our treatments for ALL are good and his prognosis is good (95% remission rate). His symptoms could be caused by something quite simple that will pass but it’s important we get to the bottom of this.
113
MDT members in ALL
GP, paediatrician, oncologist, clinical nurse specialist, play team, OT, physio, school
114
Mx of ALL
Conservative: Stay hydrated. Avoid contact with infected people. Medical: Induction chemotherapy, usually for around 3 years. Prophylactic Abx. Fluid therapy + allopurinol to reduce uric acid accumulation and protect renal function. May need a blood/platelet transfusion to correct anaemia/thrombocytopenia. Pain relief Surgical: ?SCT F/U
115
chickenpox counselling
Most children get this at some point. Usually mild and clears up in a week, but can be dangerous for people with a poor immune system, or pregnant women. Complications include skin infection, lung infection, but this is rare in children. Chickenpox is usually treated at home. They will feel pretty miserable and uncomfortable, but treatment can help. Paracetamol to relieve fever and discomfort, stay hydrated. DON’T use anti-inflammatory painkillers like ibuprofen, can make them more ill Camomile lotion or cooling gels to ease the itching Stay away from school until all blisters scabbed.
116
symptoms of vulval cancer
- lump/ulcer on labia - itching - irritation - soreness - superficial dyspareunia - bleeding - FLAWS
117

118
VIN and types
Presence of atypical cells in vulvar epithelium ``` Usual type (most) - warty, basaloid SCC. Associated with HPV (esp 16), CIN smoking and chronic immunosuppression. Differentiated type VIN - rarer. Older women. Ulcer or plaque linked to keratinizing SCC ```
119
treatment for VIN
No treatment - monitor closely if low grade Imiquimod - activates immune system to kill VIN Laser treatment Surgery: Wide local excision/ vuvlectomy
120
counselling for atrophic vaginitis
From the examinations and tests we have done the good news is that your cervix is completely normal It looks as though you have vaginal atrophy. This is something lots of women get after they have the menopause and is caused by reducing levels of one of your hormones called oestrogen. It causes the vaginal walls to become a bit drier and thinner and sometimes they can bleed. The treatment for this is generally an oestrogen cream which you put directly into your vagina and this helps to keep the vaginal tissue moist and healthy. It’s also important to use lots of lubrication when you have sex so that the tissue doesn’t get irritated and sore.
121
important pregnancy questions
planned pregnancy? | IVF pregnancy?
122
results of the DS quadruple test
beta hCG = raised AFP = low inhibin A = raised unconjugated estriol = low
123
antenatal screening shows increased risk of DS - counselling
I have had a look at your blood results and first I wanted to check if you knew what they were looking for? They were looking at the risk of the baby having Down’s syndrome and some other conditions. The test cannot say for sure whether the baby definitely has one of these syndromes but it gives us an idea if there is a high or low risk of this. From the results it looks as though you have a higher chance of your baby having Down’s syndrome. This means that there is a higher than 1 in 150 chance of Down’s syndrome. It is too early to say for definite either way.
124
options following this
So the options you have now are to leave it and wait until the birth or to have further screening which gives a much more accurate idea of whether the baby does have Down’s syndrome or not. As you are 16 weeks along now the appropriate test would be called amniocentesis. This is where we take a small sample of the amniotic fluid and test the cells inside.
125
how to manage a pregnant woman with asthma?
Monitor regularly Same drug therapy for acute asthma continuous foetal monitoring during severe acute asthma Medication remains the same- no evidence that steroid affect foetus, prednisolone Theophylines- check blood levels as protein binding decreases in pregnancy resulting in increased free drug levels. Breastfeeding- encourage women to breastfeed, use asthma medications as normal during lactation
126

129
epilepsy in pregnancy
Arrange an appointment with your neurologist to discuss medicines Probable that they will switch you from sodium valproate as associated with a problems with development of the baby As sodium valproate can lead to fetal malformations best to stay on the COCP until have switched to another medication Unfortunately not much evidence or data on using any of the anti-epilepsy medications in pregnancy HOWEVER, big risks to you and the fetus if you were to self discontinue any anti-epileptics so once on stable treatment recommended by neurologist, important to continue with this Information about the UK Epilepsy and Pregnancy Register to join Higher folic acid
130
obesity in pregnancy
