Perinatal mortality rates are 4-8 times higher for growth retarded infants, and morbidity is present in 50% of surviving infants. First there is restriction of weight and then length, with a relative "head sparing" effect. This asymmetric growth is more commonly due to extrinsic influences that affect the fetus later in gestation, such as preeclampsia, chronic hypertension, and uterine anomalies. Early gestational growth retardation would be expected to affect the fetus in a symmetric manner, and thus have permanent neurologic consequences for the infant. Maternal -Before pregnancy: · Prepregnancy weight influences fetal size · Periconceptual nutritional status can affect embryogenesis. Uterine and placental factors that can adversely affect fetal growth include inadequate placental growth, uterine malformations, decreased utero-placental blood flow. Fetal causes are unusual, include familial genetic and chromosomal abnormalities and intrauterine infections. With fetal causes, decreased growth is constitutive (due to genetic factors) or secondary to infection. These infants may also need greater intake (>150 mL/kg/d and >100 kcal/kg/d) to achieve adequate growth. Intellectual and motor function (excluding those with congenital infections, chromosomal abnormalities) depends on adverse perinatal events and on the specific cause of growth restriction. Early identification and treatment of hypoglycemia and polycythemia improves outcome.

Special emphasis is placed on an age-specific differential diagnosis for major salivary gland enlargements. The disease spectrum is quite divergent, ranging from an organ-specific endocrinopathy to widespread systemic involvement that may result in musculoskeletal, pulmonary, gastric, hematological, vascular, dermatological, renal and neurological disorders. The cause of this disease is unknown; however, there appears to be a genetic predisposition. The classic head and neck manifestations will be discussed along with an age-appropriate differential diagnosis. A 14 year-old African-American girl presented with bilateral parotid swelling and generalized tooth sensitivity, especially when drinking cold carbonated beverages (Fig 1). For the past 3 years, she has experienced an increase in dental problems and periodic enlargement of both the parotid and submandibular glands. Previous episodes of the facial swellings seemed to coincide with the occurrence of a variety of head and neck problems, including an odontogenic infection, chronic otitis media, chronic sinusitis and an upper respiratory infection. The patient had taken antibiotics for the treatment of these infections, which had not been beneficial in managing the swollen glands. Recently she complained of fatigue, fever, and joint pain, especially affecting the knees.

Back to case Mucinous cystadenoma There is a large cystic mass with internal septations arising from the tail of the pancreas medications safe while breastfeeding . It results in an anterior displacement of the stomach medications 1 , and posterior displacement of the left kidney symptoms 6 weeks . Although the spleen itself appears grossly normal symptoms checklist , there are numerous splenic varices and lack of visualization of the splenic vein. Back to case Islet cell tumor (Insulinoma) There is a mass in the head of the pancreas, densly enhances during the arterial phase. The pancreatic duct and the common bile duct are not adjacent to the mass and are normal in caliber. Back to case Clear cell sarcoma There is a primarily solid, heterogeneous, right intrarenal mass involving the mid- to lower pole, that results in obstruction of the upper pole collecting system. The mass appears primarily contained within renal cortex with the exception of a single area in the inferolateral aspect where surrounding cortex cannot be definitively demonstrated. The delayed images show contrast opacification of the dilated upper pole collecting system, as well as some of the dilated collecting system in the mid-pole region. Back to case Atypical congenital mesoblastic nephroma 2-year-old male with hematuria and a solid right renal mass noted on an outside ultrasound. Back to case Desmoplastic small round cell tumor Within the posteromedial aspect of the left kidney, there is an ovoid, well-defined mass, containing several calcifications. The mass is relatively hypovascular, does not clearly contain any fat, and does not enhance considerably more on the delayed images. The mass extends to the peripheral, posterior aspect of the left kidney, but there is no clear extension into the perinephric space. Back to case Nephroblastomatosis the left kidney is enlarged but preserves its reniform shape and it shows multiple hypodense, hypoenhancing, predominantly peripheral masses. A few smaller hypoenhancing lesions are also present in the mid and upper pole of the right kidney. Back to case Renal cell carcinoma There is a large heterogeneously enhancing mass within mid to lower lateral aspect of the left kidney. There is mass effect on celiac axis and the body of the pancreas, displacing them anteromedially. An oval-shaped low density lesion seen superior to the left kidney may represent a necrotic lymph node. Back to case Rhabdoid tumor of kidney 12-month-old female with history of anemia and lethargy. There is a heterogenously enhancing mass involving the upper pole of the left kidney, with extension into the renal hilum. Additionally, there is a very large subcapsular hematoma associated with this mass. The hematoma compresses and distorts the kidney and renal vessels, making assessment for renal vascular tumor invasion difficult. The spleen and stomach are displaced superiorly and the aorta is displaced medially. Back to case Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumor the patient is 8-year-old girl with history of gastrointestinal bleeding. There is a heterogenous mass located just posterior to the lesser curvature of the stomach and anterior to the pancreas. Some portion of this mass demonstrates low attenuation, which may represent necrosis. Back to case Intestinal lymphoma 12-year-old boy with prior history of gastrointestinal lymphoma. Intussusception involving a several centimeter segment of the distal most ileum is noted. There is an ill-defined low density filling defect within the contrast filled ascending colon adjacent to the radiopaque surgical sutures at the site of the ileocolic anastomosis.

Assign code 8 when surgery is recommended medicine venlafaxine , but it is unknown if the patient had the surgery treatment 4 hiv . Follow-back to the surgical oncologist and primary care physician yields no further information medicine organizer . Code 9 if the treatment plan offered multiple choices treatment 5th metatarsal avulsion fracture , but it is unknown which treatment, if any, was provided. Surgery of the primary site was not performed because it was not part of the planned first course treatment. Surgery of the primary site was not recommended/performed because it was contraindicated due to patient risk factors (comorbid conditions, advanced age, etc. Surgery of the primary site was recommended, but it is unknown if it was performed. A patient with primary tumor of the liver is not recommended for surgery due to advanced cirrhosis. The reason for no primary site surgery is 2, not recommended due to comorbid conditions. A patient is referred to another facility for recommended surgical resection of a non-small cell lung carcinoma. There is no further information from the facility to which the patient was referred. The reason for no surgery of primary site is 8, recommended but unknown if performed. Code the surgical procedure of other sites the patient received, at any facility, as part of the first course of treatment. Explanation Documents the extent of surgical treatment and is useful in evaluating the extent of metastatic disease. Record the highest numbered code that describes the surgical resection of distant lymph nodes or regional/distant tissues or organs the patient received as part of the first course of treatment at any facility. Do not code tissues or organs such as an appendix that were removed incidentally, and the organ was not involved with cancer. Note: Incidental removal of organs means that tissue was removed for reasons other than removing cancer or preventing the spread of cancer. Examples of incidental removal of organ(s) would be removal of appendix, gallbladder, etc. Non-primary surgical procedure to other site(s), unknown if the site(s) is regional or distant. The incidental removal of the appendix during a surgical procedure to remove a primary malignancy in the right colon is coded to 0. Surgical biopsy of metastatic lesion from liver with an unknown primary is coded to 1. Surgical ablation of solitary liver metastasis with a hepatic flexure primary is coded to 2 (Site regional by stage). Excision of distant metastatic lymph nodes with a rectosigmoid primary is coded to 3. Removal of a solitary brain metastasis with a lung primary is coded to 4 (site distant by stage). Excision of a solitary liver metastasis and hilar lymph node with a rectosigmoid primary is coded to 5. Assign code 1: · · When any surgery is performed to remove tumors and the primary site is unknown or ill-defined (C760-C768, C809). When any surgery is performed for hematopoietic, reticuloendothelial, immunoproliferative, or myeloproliferative disease (C420, C421, C423, C424 or M-9727, 9733, 9741-9742, 9764-9809, 9832, 9840-9931, 9945-9946, 9950-9967, and 9975-9992). When the involved contralateral breast is removed for a single primary breast cancer. Example of a single bilateral breast primary would be inflammatory carcinoma involving both breasts (Rule M6). Document if no surgery was done, or if it cannot be determined if intended surgery was done. Example: A patient was diagnosed with prostate cancer and underwent brachytherapy in January 2018 but the day is not known.

Critical Care Services Ontario medications routes , the Epilepsy Implementation Task Force and Provincial Neurosurgery Ontario strongly recommend evidence-based practices medicine stick . Acknowledgements We would like to thank the following individuals for their contribution to the development of this document: Name Dr medicine hat lodge . Community Epilepsy Agencies provide a range of support services to persons with epilepsy and their families medicine vs dentistry . These services include epilepsy information, seizure first aid training, support groups, social opportunities, employment counseling and school advocacy. Co-morbidity refers to the co-occurrence of two conditions with a greater frequency than found in the general population. They are found across the lifespan and have important implications for treatment and quality of life. An epileptic seizure is a transient occurrence of signs and/or symptoms due to abnormal excessive and or synchronous neuronal activity in the brain (Fisher et al, 2005). Disorder of the brain characterized by an enduring predisposition to generate epileptic seizures and by the neurobiologic, cognitive, psychological, and social consequences of this condition. The definition of epilepsy requires the occurrence of at least one epileptic seizure (Fisher et al, 2005). In most situations, occurrence of two epileptic seizures is evidence of enduring predisposition to generate epileptic seizures. Failure of adequate trials of two tolerated, appropriately chosen and used antiepileptic drugs (whether as monotherapy or in combination) to achieve sustained seizure-freedom (Kwan, 2010 from International League Against Epilepsy). Co-morbidity Epileptologist Epileptic Seizure Epilepsy Family Physician General Practitioner Internist Medically-Refractory Epilepsy Neurologist Neuropsychologist Nurse Practitioner Pediatrician Psychiatrist Psychologist Social Worker Senior Specialists A nurse registered with the College of nurses of Ontario in the extended class. While most individuals with epilepsy can be treated effectively by a primary care physician or general neurologist, an estimated 30% of those diagnosed have medically refractory epilepsy, experiencing seizures that do not respond to treatment with two or more appropriate antiepileptic drugs (Kwan & Brodie, 2000). Each year it is estimated that 6,500 Ontarians will develop epilepsy, and 1,950 of them will have medically refractory epilepsy (Tellez-Zenteno, Pondal-Sordo, Matijevic, & Wiebe, 2004; Wiebe, Bellhouse, Fallahay, & Eliasziy, 1999). Epilepsy surgery has shown positive outcomes for epilepsy sufferers; there is approximately an 80% chance that an individual will be seizure-free after surgery, resulting in far better outcomes with respect to seizure freedom, improved quality of life, and reduction of psychosocial comorbidities that accompany medically refractory epilepsy than continued medical treatment (Bowen, Snead, Chandra, Blackhouse, & Goeree, 2012). However, not all individuals with epilepsy are candidates for surgery ­ approximately one third of those suffering from medically refractory epilepsy will not be considered candidates. Despite its effectiveness, surgical treatment is underutilized in Ontario, with only a fraction of the population who may be eligible for surgery assessed every year. The Panel also noted that awareness of surgical treatment options was low and patients were not diagnosed, treated and referred appropriately. This work is supported by the Ministry through Critical Care Services Ontario ( This document is the outcome of the recommendation to provide province-wide guidelines for first-contact healthcare providers (such as primary care and emergency department physicians) to standardize the diagnosis, treatment and referrals of patients with epilepsy in the province. Epilepsy Care in Ontario In order to maximize value and ensure that patients are receiving timely, high quality care, it is crucial to clarify system capacity and referral paths. This will help set clear expectations for planning, coordination and performance for all hospitals with specialty epilepsy care programs. This 16 Critical Care Services Ontario · January 2015 Provincial Guidelines for the Management of Epilepsy in Adults and Children document includes guidance in the initiation of diagnostic evaluation and treatment of adults and children across the province who present with an initial diagnosis of epilepsy. These guidelines are also intended for all specialists involved in the care of patients with new onset and/or established epilepsy. The guidelines should be shared with anyone involved in the care of patients with epilepsy. These guidelines aim to increase the awareness of, and referrals to , appropriate diagnostic assessment and surgical care of patients in Ontario. Provincial Guidelines for Epilepsy Surgery Referrals in Ontario (forthcoming) this document provides an approach to referral of medically-refractory epilepsy patients by defining evidence-based indications to epilepsy surgery in all age groups, with careful consideration given to age-specific issues ranging from infants to the elderly. Provincial Guidelines for the Management of Medically Refractory Epilepsy in Adults and Children Who are not candidates for Epilepsy Surgery (forthcoming) this guideline will provide an approach to the management of the patient with medically intractable epilepsy in whom surgical treatment is not an option. It will include the use of antiepileptic medications and non-antiepileptic therapy such as dietary management and neurostimulation. Provincial Guidelines for Transitional Care of Paediatric Epilepsy Programs to Adult (forthcoming) To ensure uninterrupted quality medical care for adolescent patients with chronic disorders, this document provides guidelines for paediatric and adult practitioners to assist in the seamless transition of epilepsy care for adolescents who are departing the paediatric system and entering the adult health care network.
