Q

This cast of the bronchial tree is formed of inspissated mucus and was coughed up by a patient with what pathology? [1]

A

Asthma:

The outpouring of mucus from hypertrophied bronchial submucosal glands, the bronchoconstriction, and dehydration all contribute to the formation of mucus plugs that can block airways in asthmatic patients.

A

Which pathogen cause this histopathological slide

CMV
T. gondii
Parvovirus B19

The pink intranuclear inclusions in the erythroid precursors seen here are characteristic for parvovirus infection. Parvovirus, or “fifth disease” is a self-limited infection that can produce a “slapped cheek” appearance of a rash in children, and often goes unnoticed in adults. However, pregnant mothers can pass the virus to the fetus, and a severe anemia with fetal hydrops and intrauterine demise can result.

Q
  • Explain pathophysiology of Type 2 IUGR [1] Which maternal pathologies is it associated with? [3]
  • When does in pregnancy does it usually occur? [1]
  • How do neonates appear? [1]
  • WHat do neonates have reduced growth in? [2]
A
  • Caused by uteroplacental insufficiency: uterus not providing enough nutrition for fetus. Associated with: maternal HTN / pre-eclampsia; renal disease; vasculapathies
  • Growth restriction begins after week 28 in stage of hypertrophy : Fetus has near normal cell number but size reduced
  • Asymmetry seen: head sized normal, but redistribution of fetal CO causes reduced abdomen and splachnic growth, whilst brain is spared.

Higher incidence of **meconium aspiration:**: Fetal distress **Intrapartum fetal death**
30
What complications of IUGR would you expect in neonatal period? [5]
* **Increased incidence of hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy**: heart not developed so o2 to brain is insufficient * **Persistent fetal circulation insufficiency** (patent ductus arteriosus - all O2 blood is mixed with deO2 - leads to hypoxia) * **Difficulty in temperature regulation**: Absent brown fat and small body mass to surface area in type 2 * **Poor glycogen stores** may predispose to **hypoglycemia** * **Chronic intrauterine hypoxia** lead to polycythemia, necrotizing enterocolitis, other metabolic abnormalities

What is normal v abnormal cerebral: placenta ratio? [2] What does this indicate? [1]
cerebroplacental ratio: >1:1 is normal and <1:1 is abnormal <1 = abnormal Indicates more flow to cerebral atery than placenta (and therefore brain sparing)
35
Explain how you manage IUGR [5] - Maternal oxygen therapy? [1] - Bed rest position? [1] - Drugs? [1]
Identify etiology of IUGR then treatment of underlying cause: **Stop smoking, alcohol, protein energy supplementation, hypertension** Bed rest in **left lateral position increases uteroplacental blood flow** **Maternal oxygen therapy 55% O2 at 8L/min** round the clock decreases perinatal mortality rate No pharmacological therapy which can reverse IUGR Delivery Risk of prematurity versus risk of intrauterine death has to be judged **Antenatal steroids reduces incidence of respiratory distress syndrome, intraventricular hemorrhage and death for fetus of <1500g**

39
Describe physiology of retinal blood vessels in normal fetus: - when does it normally start & complete by? [2] - Which directions do the retinal blood vessels grow? [1] - What condition within the eye controls normal retinal development? [1]
Retinal blood vessel development starts at around **16 weeks** and is complete by **37 – 40 weeks gestation.** The **blood vessels grow from the middle of the retina to the outer area**. This vessel formation is stimulated by **hypoxia**which is a normal condition in the retina during pregnancy
40
Explain pathology behind retinopathy of prematurity
Normal conditions: vessel formation is stimulated by **hypoxia**which is a normal condition in the retina during pregnancy Pre-term baby causes **exposure to higher oxygen concentrations**, particularly with supplementary oxygen during medical care, the **stimulant for normal blood vessel development is removed** When the hypoxic environment recurs, the retina responds by **producing excessive blood vessels** (**neovascularisation**), as well as **scar tissue**. These abnormal blood vessels may regress and leave the retina without a blood supply. The scar tissue may cause **retinal detachment**
41
What specific nutritional support do you give pre-term babies? [3]
Decreased activity compared to normal weight babies may decrease energy requirements. Need lots of **protein** and **calcium** and **phosphorous** to build skeletons and muscles
42
Which nutritional things would you screen for in pre-term babies? [2]
**Hyperglycemia** (poorly developed pancreas; immature insulin secretion) **Osteopenia** (limited Ca & P in parentral nutrition)
43
Explain pathophysiology of necrotising enterocolitis [2] How serious? [1]
Part of the **bowel becomes necrotic** due to **bacterial invasion of ischaemic bowell wall**: Causes large amount of gas in bowel: can cause **perforation of bowel**: leads to **peritonitis** & **sepsis** It is a life threatening emergency
44
Treatment of necrotising enterocolitis? [3]
* Stop oral feeding * Broad spectrum antibiotics covering both aerobic and anaerobic species * Surgery to remove perforated sections
45
Why do pre-term babies have increased fluid loss? [2] What is important to consider when rehydrating? [1]
Have **not developed skin with less keratin** – so get more loss of water from skin. Easy to become dehydrated AND **increased body surface to body mass ratio increases fluid loss** BUT don’t want to give too much water and **disrupt electrolyte balance** (can cause congestive heart failure, necrotising enterocolitis and mortality)
46
Compare the flow between A & C of this doppler ultrasound.
A: showing normal flow C: severely reduced flow with severe notch (see arrows).
47
What does the **pulsatility index (PI)** of doppler ultrasound show [1] and measure? [1] How does the PI differ between the MCA and umbilical artery in a normal & IUGR fetus? [2]
**Pulsatility Index (PI):** * the difference between the peak systolic flow and minimum diastolic flow velocity, divided by the mean velocity recorded throughout the cardiac cycle. * It is a non-invasive method of **assessing vascular resistance with the use of Doppler ultrasonography.** **Healthy fetus:** * PI of MCA greater than umbilical artery * Creates ratio >1 **IUGR**: * PI of MCA less than umbilical artery
48
What does prescence of uterine artery notch after 22 weeks indicate? [1]
The presence of a notch **after 22 weeks** indicates **increased uterine vascular resistance** and warrants monitoring of the patient.
49
How does the A-wave in a ductus venosus doppler ultrasound present in a normal and IUGR fetus? [2]
Normally **ductus venosus shows positive A wave**. **Reversal of the A wave** may be seen in severe intrauterine growth restriction as well as in tricuspid regurgitation.
