In order to check for evidence of dehydration, we can palpate at the area of anterior fontanelle right. So any specific technique to do the palpation? And how can we said that our findings suggestive sign of dehydration.
Tq☺
Palpation in supine and upright position. I'd rather you use the flat surface of your finger than your thumb.
it should be felt soft/ and sometimes it bulges but not tensed.
In dehydrated infants, you may see and feel that it is sunken. A sunken fontanelle must be accompanied by other mucous membrane abnormalities, which signifies significant level of dehydration. Like sunken eyes, dry oral mucosa, no tears etc.

Dr,

Good afternoon doctor, acellular pertussis vaccine was given due to it's least side effects but there is a recurrence for pertussis in adults.. why is it so doctor ? Is that the vaccine doesn't cover all the subtype or the pathogens that causes pertussis increased ?

Read up on waning of immunity post vaccination. the question is how long does the immunity from vaccination lasts.... then only you can answer why adult, mainly in 20-30 then the elderly gets the illness

Normal range of urea and creatinine.

Ward duties

aishafadhilah_aa — 2018-09-20 23:49:55 UTC

I have been informed that some (or most) students did not go for ward duties as scheduled.
Remember that this is counted as attendance, not only teaching sessions.
You are expected to be at your designated place(s) from 8am-5pm. Any absence must be accompanied with explanation letter/MC.

I will barr you from end posting exam if you do not comply.

Dr, what does it indicate when we ask about chills and/or rigors in fever? Does it indicate severity of the fever, as in chills and rigors in high grade fever

2018-09-24 06:09:37 UTC

Back to basics
Abrupt onset fever with chills and rigors is a feature of certain infections/ illness
Read on pathophysiology of fever, hypothalamic control, activation of lymphocyte and pyrogenes.
for example, malaria.

Good morning doctor. We are not able to observe the procedure of passing ryle's tube in both post natal ward and labour room during neonatology week as this procedure is not done in both places. Is it okay if we leave the signature blank?

Dr, what is the difference between central hypotonia and peripheral hypotonia? In guide book it's written that However is hypereflexia in central hypotonia whereas there was be hypereflexia in peripheral hypotonia. However, it is not mentioned such in Nelson and illustrated sunflower text book.. so is it true?
Hi
Hmmm...it's wrong, but not entirely wrong.
Central hypotonia babies/ children have normal reflexes, however, they may present with hyperreflexia if they have concomitant UMNL.
Peripheral- hyporeflexia or even absent.
Thank you for pointing that out.

dr, how to look for / elicit central hypotonia ?
