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.

Overall life span (LS) was 1671.7±1721.6 days and cumulative 5YS reached 62.4%, 10 years – 50.4%, 20 years – 44.6%. 94 LCP lived more than 5 years without cancer (LS=2958.6±1723.6 days), 22 – more than 10 years (LS=5571±1841.8 days). 67 LCP died because of LC (LS=471.9±344 days). AT significantly improved 5YS (68% vs. 53.7%) (P=0.028 by log-rank test). Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: N0-N12, T3-4, blood cell circuit, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells-CC and blood cells subpopulations), LC cell dynamics, recalcification time, heparin tolerance, prothrombin index, protein, AT, procedure type (P=0.000-0.031). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and N0-12 (rank=1), thrombocytes/CC (rank=2), segmented neutrophils/CC (3), eosinophils/CC (4), erythrocytes/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), stick neutrophils/CC (8), leucocytes/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (error=0.000; area under ROC curve=1.0).

13. Definition
Professional intervention
within 6 months after the
eruption of the first
primary tooth or no later
than 12 months of age
directed at factors
affecting the oral cavity,
counselling on oral
disease risks and delivery
of anticipatory guidance.
14. Historical
background
G V Black proposed
oral care beginning
“as soon as a baby
has a tooth”.
1948: American
Academy of
Pedodontics was
founded.
1967: AAP began
promoting children’s
healthcare that
includes oral health.
1986: AAPD’s first
infant oral health
care policy
statement approved
• 1994: The term
Early childhood
caries was
adopted at CDC
meeting
2002: ‘Dental
home concept’
was established
– JADA
publication
15. GOALS OF INFANT ORAL
HEALTH PROGRAM
• To identify, intercept and modify the
potentially harmful parenting practices that
may adversely affect the infant’s oral health.
• Parent education right from the prenatal
period highlighting the importance of their role
in the prevention of dental disease for their
child.
• Parent/ caregiver orientation to perceive
dental services as an integral part of infant’s
overall health program.
• Periodic evaluation of the oro-facial
development and oral health by the clinician.
16. PREVENTION AND
MANAGEMENT PROTOCOLS
FOR INFANTS
Since family physicians and pediatricians often see the child up to six times
before age 2, it is crucial to take these appointments as opportunities to
increase awareness of oral health evaluations and screen young children for
caries risk and refer for dental care.
– Tooth eruption
– Preventive oral hygiene
– Orofacial development
– Fluoridation
– Diet
17. PRENATAL COUNSELLING
• Objectives:
– Establishing a positive Pediatric dentist-
family relationship.
– Information gathering from the family
– Anticipatory guidance
– Establishing sequence of subsequent
visits
18. PERINATAL ORAL
HEALTH
•A direct relationship exists between MS
levels in adult caregivers and that of caries
prevalence in their children. (Douglas JM
et al)
• Improving expectant mother’s oral health
by reducing pathogenic bacteria levels in
their own mouths, will delay the acquisition
of oral bacteria and the development of
ECC in their children. (Ramos-Gomes F)
• Therapeutic intervention and lifestyle
modification counseling both during pre-
and post-partum should be practiced, to
reduce maternal MS and lactobacilli
levels
19. Colonization of infant’s oral
cavity
Vertical transmission
• From mother to infant. (Davey AL
et al, Berkowitz RJ, Douglass JM et
al)
• The genotypes of streptococcus
mutans in infants appear to be
identical to that present in mother.
20. Maternal factors associated with
infant colonization
Salivary levels
of mutans
streptococci
Mother’s oral
hygiene
Periodontal
status
Socioeconomic
status
Snack
frequency
Wan AK et al 2010
22. Effect of mode of delivery on
oral microflora
• In the oral cavity, mutans streptococci were
detected more frequently and at a younger age
in children delivered by C-section than in those
delivered vaginally.
23. Predentate infants
• Berkowitz RJ (2006), Law V (2007) and Tanner ACR (2002): furrows
of tongue can also harbour mutans streptococci in predentate
infants.
24. Oral flora of pre-dentate
mouth
• Since the oral cavity of the
neonate lacks teeth and only
mucosal surfaces are available
during the first months of life,
organisms with ligands for the
tooth are absent.
• Epithelial binding sites for group
A streptococci and their
lipoteichoic acid in the oral cavity
of newborn infants are absent or
minimal at birth, but reach adult
levels between 48 and 72 hours
after birth.
25. WINDOW OF
INFECTIVITY
• The “window of infectivity,”
defined as the time of initial
colonization of the infant’s
oral environment with the
cariogenic bacteria mutans
streptococci (MS)
• Early studies reported that the
“window of infectivity” for MS
occurs at a mean age of 27
months.
27. Second window of infectivity
• Speculated at 6 years of
age
• First molars erupt
Straetemans(1998)
• 75% of children uninfected
by age 5 become infected
by age 11
28. Diet counselling during the infant oral health
visit
• Breastfeeding:
• Exclusive breastfeeding till 6 months
followed by addition of iron-enriched
solid foods between 6-12 months of
age.
• Ad libitum nocturnal breast-feeding
should be avoided after the first
primary tooth begins to erupt.
Weaning:
• It has been observed that breast-feeding
for over 1 year and at night beyond
eruption of teeth may be associated with
Early Childhood Caries.
• AAPD recommends that infants should
drink from a cup as they approach their
first birthday and be weaned from the
bottle at 12-14 months of age.
29. Diet counselling during the
infant oral health visit
• Dietary fluoride supplements:
• Infants > 6 months of age exposed to water with
less than 0.3 ppm fluoride, dietary fluoride
supplements of 0.25 mg fluoride per day
should be prescribed.
• Irrespective of fluoride exposure in water dietary
supplements should not be prescribed for
infants under the age of 6 months.
Bottle feeding:
Infant formulas are acidogenic and
possess cariogenic potential.
Parents need to be aware of deleterious
effects of inappropriate bottle usage and
the need for good oral hygiene practices
upon the first primary tooth’s eruption.
30. ADVANTAGES OF
BREASTFEEDING
• Essential nutrients.
• Contains anti-infective factors
• psychological advantage
• Easily digestible.
• Breast milk has low osmotic load.
• Confers passive immunity to the
baby.
31. Composition of breast milk
• Its energy content is 60-75 kcal/100 ml.
• Contains over 200 nutritional, as well as
functional components.
Colostrum
• Secreted first 3- 7 days postpartum.
• Slightly yellow, more viscous, and
thicker.
• Lower in calories, contains less sugar.
• Contains more protein and electrolytes.
• Immunoglobulin A is the principal
protein found in colostrum. IgA helps
protect the infant from gastrointestinal
tract infections.
32. Breast milk
Transitional Milk
•One week postpartum colostrum changes into
transitional milk.
• Transitional milk is between colostrum and mature
milk, it is composed of more protein and less fat
and less lactose than mature milk.
• Fully mature milk is produced at about three
weeks postpartum, but this rate may vary from
mother to mother.
34. BREAST FEEDING vs BOTTLE
FEEDING
Breastfeeding
• Stimulates muscles
around the mouth and
tongue activity for
normal growth of teeth
and jaws
• Allows milk flow on
demand ie by action of
infant’s lips.
• Allows gravity working
correctly on the muscles
involved in swallowing
• Reduced possibility of
overfeeding.
Bottle feeding
• Muscles don’t have to
work hard for bottle-
feeding.
• Milk flows from the
bottle in a continuous
flow.
• Lying on the back for
bottle-feeding keeps the
tongue in an unnatural
forward position to keep
from choking.
35.
36. WEANING
• Process of expanding the diet
to include foods and drinks other
than breast milk and infant
formulae.
• It is a gradual process
Babies should not be weaned
at an earlier age,
• Lack neuromuscular
coordination needed to move
food from tip of tongue to the
back of the mouth.
• Gastrointestinal tract is too
immature to digest
38. Recommend that parents start
weaning at approximately 9
months of age and accomplish
soon after the first birthday
(AAP1985)
• Bed time bottle feedings to be
discouraged especially after
tooth eruption.
• If bed time bottles are given,
water is considered the only
acceptable feeding substance
(Feigal 1985)
39. 4-6 months
Teething
• Symptoms:
– Fussiness, irritability
– Increased sucking
– Loose stools
– Increased drooling of saliva
– High temperature
– Swollen gums
• Symptomatic treatment of
teething:
– Sucking on teething rings
– Numbing gels
– Frozen pacifier
– Teething tablets
40. ANTICIPATORY GUIDANCE
“The process to provide practical,
developmentally appropriate information
about the children’s health to prepare
parents for the significant physical,
emotional and psychological milestones.”
43. Guidelines for 6 to 12 months of
age

and adequacy
Application of pit and fissure sealants if
necessary
Habits
Educate about any oral habits if it is
present
Educate the parents about transitional
changes in the developing
dentition and the importance of primary
and permanent dentition
50. Guidance for adolescent
Prevention of periodontal disease becomes a special concern
At this age group the main process utilized are
a) Rejection of many parental values
b) The beginning of independent struggle
c) The testing out types of behavioural experimentaion
Parents are educated that they should treat the child at this stage
very diplomatically,friendly approach
The child should be given enough emotional support from parents
51. Oral hygiene/health
The adolescent patient posses the fine motor
skills necessary for adequate
tooth brushing and flossing
Problems in compliance are likely to be
encountered
Diet
High frequency of sugar consumption
Progression of lession halted with an
appropriate diet and aggressive topical
fluoride therapy
Fluorides
Systemic fluorides are no longer benefit after
the last permanent tooth erupt at
about age of 13 yrs
Topical fluorides are the most effective
preventive measure.
52. Orthodontics
Many Patients undergo orthodontic treatment
at this stage
High risk for both gingivitis and gingival
hyperplasia and for dental caries
Smokeless tobacco
Peer pressure and advertising exert pressure
on adolescent to establish a
habit that may result in addiction.
Parents should be instructed not to punish the
adolescent as it may further worsen the habit
Discuss the health risk in smoking
Instruct parents to avoid smoking infront of the
children
Discuss nicotine replacement and medication
53. “ the goal of the first oral supervision
visit is to assess the risk for dental
disease, initiate a preventive program,
provide anticipatory guidance and decide
in the periodicity of subsequent visits”.
Nowak (1997)
as early as six months of age and no
later than 12 months of age.
55. Definition
