3. Radical prostatectomy and cystectomy are major surgeries for urological cancers that require extensive dissection and carry risks of significant blood loss. Robotic assistance and laparoscopic approaches are now commonly used.
TURP syndrome is a combination of fluid overload and hyponatremia that can occur after a transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) surgery. It is caused by excessive absorption of irrigating fluid into the circulation during the procedure. Symptoms range from mild like headache and restlessness to life-threatening issues like pulmonary edema, hypoxia and coma if not promptly recognized and treated. Treatment involves discontinuing irrigation fluid, administering diuretics and hypertonic saline if sodium levels drop below 120 mmol/L, and monitoring electrolytes closely in intensive care. Overly rapid correction of sodium levels should also be avoided to prevent neurological complications.
The document discusses nerve blocks at various locations in the upper extremity including the elbow, wrist, and digits. At the elbow, the radial, median, and ulnar nerves can be blocked using bony landmarks like the medial and lateral epicondyles. Each nerve is blocked slightly differently depending on its location. Distal to the elbow, the radial, median, and ulnar nerves can also be blocked at the wrist. Intravenous regional anesthesia, or Bier block, provides surgical anesthesia for short procedures on an extremity using exsanguination and tourniquets with local anesthetic injected intravenously.
Cell Therapy Expansion and Challenges in Autoimmune DiseaseHealth Advances
There is increasing confidence that cell therapies will soon play a role in the treatment of autoimmune disorders, but the extent of this impact remains to be seen. Early readouts on autologous CAR-Ts in lupus are encouraging, but manufacturing and cost limitations are likely to restrict access to highly refractory patients. Allogeneic CAR-Ts have the potential to broaden access to earlier lines of treatment due to their inherent cost benefits, however they will need to demonstrate comparable or improved efficacy to established modalities.
In addition to infrastructure and capacity constraints, CAR-Ts face a very different risk-benefit dynamic in autoimmune compared to oncology, highlighting the need for tolerable therapies with low adverse event risk. CAR-NK and Treg-based therapies are also being developed in certain autoimmune disorders and may demonstrate favorable safety profiles. Several novel non-cell therapies such as bispecific antibodies, nanobodies, and RNAi drugs, may also offer future alternative competitive solutions with variable value propositions.
Widespread adoption of cell therapies will not only require strong efficacy and safety data, but also adapted pricing and access strategies. At oncology-based price points, CAR-Ts are unlikely to achieve broad market access in autoimmune disorders, with eligible patient populations that are potentially orders of magnitude greater than the number of currently addressable cancer patients. Developers have made strides towards reducing cell therapy COGS while improving manufacturing efficiency, but payors will inevitably restrict access until more sustainable pricing is achieved.
Despite these headwinds, industry leaders and investors remain confident that cell therapies are poised to address significant unmet need in patients suffering from autoimmune disorders. However, the extent of this impact on the treatment landscape remains to be seen, as the industry rapidly approaches an inflection point.
ABDOMINAL TRAUMA in pediatrics part one.drhasanrajab
Abdominal trauma in pediatrics refers to injuries or damage to the abdominal organs in children. It can occur due to various causes such as falls, motor vehicle accidents, sports-related injuries, and physical abuse. Children are more vulnerable to abdominal trauma due to their unique anatomical and physiological characteristics. Signs and symptoms include abdominal pain, tenderness, distension, vomiting, and signs of shock. Diagnosis involves physical examination, imaging studies, and laboratory tests. Management depends on the severity and may involve conservative treatment or surgical intervention. Prevention is crucial in reducing the incidence of abdominal trauma in children.

Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (error=0.000; area under ROC curve=1.0).
2. Objectives
• Define growth and development
• Principles of development
• To assess growth and development
• Mention types of growth and development
• Identify the stages of development based on age
3. Growth
• Growth refers to an increase in physical size of
the whole body or any of its parts.
• It is simply a quantitative change in the child’s
body.
• It can be measured in Kg, pounds, meters,
inches, ….. etc
13. Assessment of growth
Growth Chart
Growth chart is the most powerful tool in growth
assessment.
The standard growth charts are based on data
collected by the National Center for Health
Statistics (NCHS).
For infants the measure of linear growth is length,
taken by two examiners with the child supine on a
measuring board.
For older children, the measure is stature, standing
on a stadiometer.
14. Cont’d
The data are presented in4 standard charts:
1. weight for age (WFH)
2. height for age (HFA)
3. head circumference for age and
4. weight for height (WFH)
Each chart is composed of 7 percentile curves.
The percentile curve indicates the percentage of
children at a given age on the x-axis whose
measured value falls below the corresponding
value on the y-axis.
15. Cont’d
-For example, on the wt chart for boys age 0-36 mo, the 9 mo
age line intersects the 25th percentile curve at 8.5kg,
indicating that 25% of the 9 mo old boys in the NCHS
sample weigh less than 8.5 kg (75% weigh more).
-By definition, the 50th percentile is the median, the value
above (and below) which 50% of the observed values fall.
It is also termed the standard value.
- NCHS curves are inappropriate for children with intrinsic
growth disorders like Down, Turner, and Klinefelter
syndromes or classic achondroplasia. These children have
their own growth charts.
16. Analysis of Growth Patterns
Growth is a process and not a static quality.
- An infant at the 5th percentile of wt for age may be
growing normally, may be failing to grow, or may
be recovering from growth failure, depending on
the trajectory of the growth curve.
- For premature infants, over diagnosis of growth
failure can be avoided by subtracting the weeks of
pre maturity from the postnatal age when plotting
the growth parameters up to 18mns,24mns and 40
mns of age for HC , Wt and Ht respectively.
17. Cont’d
Children with low HFA who have normal WFH may have
experienced nutritional or growth failure in the past, whereas if
both HFA and WFH are strikingly low, then both past and current
nutritional or growth failure may be suspected.
In contrast, children with normal HFA who have low WFH are
likely to have either acute nutritional or growth problem.
When growth parameters fall below the 5th percentile, it becomes
necessary to express the value as percentage of the median or
standard value.
Using the calculated percentage of the standard growth curve, it
can be graded from mild to severe.
19. Cont’d
Nutritional insufficiency must be differentiated from
congenital, constitutional, familial and endocrine causes of
decreased linear growth.
In the latter cases, the length declines first or at the same
time as the weight; WFH is normal or elevated.
In nutritional causes, the weight declines before the length
and the WFH is low.
Congenital pathological short stature
- infant is born small and growth gradually tapers off
throughout infancy.
- causes include chromosomal abnormality (Turner synd.,
Trisomy 21), congenital infections and extreme
prematurity.
20. Cont’d
Constitutional growth delay
- WFH decrease near the end of infancy, parallel the normal
through middle childhood, and accelerate towards the end
of adolescence.
- adult size is normal.
- bone age is low and comparable to height age.
Familial short stature
- both infant and parents are small.
- growth runs parallel to and just below the normal curves.
- bone age is normal i.e. comparable to chronological age.
21. Development
• Development refers to a progressive increase in skill
and capacity of function.
• It is a qualitative change in the child’s functioning.
• It can be measured through observation.
22. Developmental principles
It is a continuous process
Development proceeds cephalo-caudal fashion
Depends on maturation and learning
Proceeds from general to specific
Proceeds from simple to more complex
Unique individual rates of growth and development but the
sequence is same
Rate of growth is more important than actual number
23. How do you assess development?

82. DEVELOPMENTAL DELAY
Developmental disability, estimated to affect 5-10% of children.
A disturbance in the acquisition of cognitive, motor, language, or
social skills with a significant and continuing impact on dev’tal
progress.
The terms “delayed development,” “disordered development,”&
“developmental abnormality” are used synonymously.
The diagnosis of mental retardation is reserved for children older
than 5 years,inwhom standardized IQ testing can be reliably
performed.
83. DEVELOPMENTAL REGRESSION
When a child loses an already achived skill or fails to progress
beyond a prolonged plateau after a period of relatively normal dev’t.
A progressive neurological disorder should be suspected.
Children with a static encephalopathy can experience neurological
deterioration.
Global developmental delay
significant delay seen across multiple domains of function & adaptation.
o significant : performance that is two standard deviations below the
mean for chronological peers.
