{ Pediatrics The branch of medicine dealing with children and their diseases. By: Rabia Mohamed Ali
Slide 2-

 A pediatrician is concerned with the physical, emotional, and social health of children from birth to young adulthood. Care encompasses a broad spectrum of health services ranging from preventive health care to the diagnosis and treatment of acute and chronic diseases. The pediatrician deals with biological, social, and environmental influences on the developing child, and with the impact of disease and dysfunction on development. Nature of Work

Anatomical/Physiological Differences between Children and Adults As a result, children are more susceptible to the effects of radiation than adults. Higher HR and RR- Children have higher respiratory rates than adults. Higher respirator rates lead to proportionately higher minute volumes. Immature blood brain barrier- Children have immature blood-brain barriers and enhanced central nervous system (CNS) receptivity. Immature immune systems- Greater risk of infection; less hard immunity from some infections. Larger BSA- Children have a proportionately larger body surface area (BSA) than adults do. The smaller the patient, the greater the ratio of surface area (skin) to size. Thinner skin- Children have thinner skin than adults. Their epidermis is thinner and under- keratinized, compared with adults. Rapidly dividing cells- Children's cells divide more rapidly than adults to assist in their rapid rate of growth Higher metabolic rate- More susceptible to contaminants in food or water; greater risk for increased loss of water and when ill or stressed. Medication doses must be carefully calculated based on the child's weight and body size.

Common Childhood Diseases Chickenpox: Red, quite itchy, spots or blisters are typically scattered to the arms, legs and face. Whooping Cough: bacterial infection affecting the respiratory system, caused by the bacterium Bordetella pertussis. 'Fifth' disease (erythema infectiosum): The condition is due to infection with Parvovirus B19. The child will sometimes initially develop mild flu-like symptoms. All will eventually have red specks, firstly on the cheeks, and later spreading to involve the arms, thighs and buttocks. Three-day-fever (roseola infantum):A child with three da fever has high fever for three days. The fever then drops and the child develops a rash consisting of pale, reddish spots, perhaps with small heads. It affects the body and spreads t the arms and legs, lasting for about 12-14 hours. Then its over. It is mostly seen in children under the age of three years. over the entire body, spreading Hand, foot and mouth disease: This condition can be due to a number of different enter viruses, causing the child to develop a large number of small spots and blisters, particularly in the mouth and on the feet and hands. The disease can cause a fever of up to 39ºC for a few days.

Statistics for Children with Asthma  Asthma is one of the most common chronic disorders in childhood, currently affecting an estimated 7.1 million children under 18 years; of which 4.1 million suffered from an asthma attack or episode in 2011.  Asthma is the third leading cause of hospitalization among children under the age of 15.  Asthma is one of the leading causes of school absences.  In 2009, there were approximately 774,000 emergency room visits were due to asthma in those under 15.  An estimated 400,000 to one million children

Indication of Normal Growth Rate  A child's growth and development can be divided into four periods:  Infancy  Preschool years  Middle childhood years  Adolescence  Immediately after birth, an infant normally loses about 5 - 10% of his or her birth weight. However, by about age 2 weeks, an infant should start to gain weight and grow quickly.  By age 4 - 6 months, an infant's weight should be double the birth weight. During the second half of the first year of life, growth is not as rapid. Between ages 1 and 2, a toddler will gain only about 5 pounds. Weight gain will remain at about 5 pounds per year between ages 2 - 5.  Between ages 2 - 10 years, a child will continue to grow at a steady pace. A final growth spurt begins at the start of puberty, sometime between ages 9 and 15.  Generally, a healthy child will follow an individual growth curve, even though the nutrient intake may be different for each child. Parents and caregivers should provide a diet that is appropriate for their child's age. They should offer a wide variety of foods to ensure their child is getting enough nutrition.

7 Reasons why doctors get sued  Failure to diagnose or a delay in diagnosis.  Negligent maternity care practice.  Negligent fracture or trauma care.  Failure to consult in a timely manner.  . Negligent drug treatment.  Negligent procedures.  Failure to obtain informed consent Law

 Concentrate on taking advanced work in whatever you are interested in and exploring different areas of study in high school.  Select a major you like  Maintain good grades if you select a regular four year college and take your MCAT.  Go to medical school for four years  Apply for internship/residency programs in pediatrics through the national matching service during your third year of medical school.  Complete your internship and residency. In the U.S., this takes three years: one of internship followed by two of residency.  Take the board exam in pediatrics. Steps for Becoming a Pediatrician
