Feeding plate for a newborn with Cleft Palate.pptxSatvikaPrasad
A feeding plate is a prosthetic device used for newborns with a cleft palate to assist in feeding and improve nutrition intake. From a prosthodontic perspective, this plate acts as a barrier between the oral and nasal cavities, facilitating effective sucking and swallowing by providing a more normal anatomical structure. It helps to prevent milk from entering the nasal passage, thereby reducing the risk of aspiration and enhancing the infant's ability to feed efficiently. The feeding plate also aids in the development of the oral muscles and can contribute to better growth and weight gain. Its custom fabrication and proper fitting by a prosthodontist are crucial for ensuring comfort and functionality, as well as for minimizing potential complications. Early intervention with a feeding plate can significantly improve the quality of life for both the infant and the parents.

10. Autosomal recessive polycystic
kidney disease
• mutations of a gene on chromosome 6p named polycystic kidney hepatic disease
gene (PKHD1)
• related protein polyductin (fibrocystin) - epithelial cells of the collecting ducts,
thick ascending loops of Henle, biliary and pancreatic duct epithelia

• POTTER’S SEQUENCE
RENAL FAILURE
OLIGOHYDRAMINIOS
COMPRESSION AND STRUCTURAL ABNORMALITIES

• perinatal period – renal failure and
portal hypertension
12. • Later in life - congenital hepatic fibrosis with a biliary dysgenesis and bile duct
ectasia
• Hepatic portal hypertension with hepatosplenomegaly and esophageal varices
Gross-The cysts tend to be linear and radiate from
the medulla to the outer cortex. Develop in the
collecting ducts, which expand to a large size due to
fluid accumulation within the cyst cavity.
Microscopically- the cysts appear as dilated tubular
structures lined by cuboidal or flattened epithelium
13. Autosomal dominant polycystic
kidney disease
PKD1 and PKD2 located on chromosomes 16p and 4q
fourth and fifth decade; bilateral
flank pain, flank masses, hematuria, hypertension,
and renal failure
GROSS - bosselated outer cortical surface
Fluid-glomerular filtrte; Later- transepithelial secretn
Lm - lined by cuboidal, flattened epithelium;
interstitial scarring, tubular atrophy, and
pyelonephritis are common

prolapse, abnormal aortic valves, colonic
diverticulae, and skeletal malformations
14. Acquired renal cystic disease
• Three or more cysts per kidney in patients on longstanding hemo- or peritoneal
dialysis for end stage renal disease
Pathophysiology - May be due to uremia
due to obstruction by oxalate
crystals, fibrosis or hyperplasia

epithelium that may show focal pseudopapillae with
nuclear enlargement and loss of polarity
• Cysts may contain oxalate crystals
• Surrounding parenchyma shows global
glomerulosclerosis, interstitial fibrosis & tubular atrophy.

• BERNSTEIN’S CLASSIFICATION
16. • dilatation of Bowman’s space in the plane of section of two- to threefold that of
normal
18. Nephronophthisis
• autosomal recessive
• most frequent genetic cause of ESRD in children and adolescents
• six genes (NPHP1, NPHP2/inversin, NPHP3, NPHP4, NPHP5, and NPHP6) -
nephrocystins, which are expressed in primary cilia, basal bodies, or centrosomes

retardation
• Bilateral

normal or moderately reduced in size with small corticomedullary cysts.
• Microscopically, diffuse interstitial inflammation with fibrosis and tubular
atrophy interspersed with hypertrophied and dilated tubules
21. Renal tubular dysgenesis.
• poor development of proximal tubules, early onset and
persistent anuria -oligohydramnios and the Potter
sequence
Inherited RTD is genetically heterogeneous and linked to
mutations in the genes encoding the major components
of the renin-angiotensin system (RAS)
25. Cystic nephroma
• benign cystic lesion of the kidney of unknown etiology

• conglomeration of noncommunicating cysts of varying size; pseudocapsule
around cysts- compression of adjacent renal parenchyma
• lined with flattened, cuboidal cells with hobnail-appearing cells
26. • DIAGNOSTIC CRITERIA :
(a) lesion must be multilocular
(b) the cyst for the most part lined by epithelium
(c) the cyst must not communicate with renal pelvis
(d) the residual renal tissue should be essentially normal, except for pressure
atrophy
(e) no fully developed nephrons.
IHC
