Respiratory Distress in the Newborn with Primary Ciliary Dyskinesia children Review Respiratory Distress in the Newborn with Primary Ciliary Dyskinesia Evans Machogu * and Benjamin Gaston Section of Pediatric Pulmonology, Allergy and Sleep Medicine, Indiana University School of Medicine, Riley Hospital for Children, Indianapolis, IN 46202, USA; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +1-317-948-7208; Fax: +1-317-944-7247 Abstract: Primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) is inherited in a predominantly autosomal recessive manner with over 45 currently identified causative genes. It is a clinically heterogeneous disorder that results in a chronic wet cough and drainage from the paranasal sinuses, chronic otitis media with hearing impairment as well as male infertility. Approximately 50% of patients have situs inversus totalis. Prior to the development of chronic oto-sino-pulmonary symptoms, neonatal respiratory distress occurs in more than 80% of patients as a result of impaired mucociliary clearance and mucus impaction causing atelectasis and lobar collapse. Diagnosis is often delayed due to overlapping symptoms with other causes of neonatal respiratory distress. A work up for PCD should be initiated in the newborn with compatible clinical features, especially those with respiratory distress, consistent radiographic findings or persistent oxygen requirement and/or organ laterality defects Keywords: primary ciliary dyskinesia; neonatal respiratory distress Citation: Machogu, E.; Gaston, B. 1.

The Motile Cilia Primary ciliary dyskinesia is characterized by impaired function of motile cilia that leads to chronic inflammation and infection in the middle ear, sinuses and lungs among other clinical manifestations. Motile cilia are highly specialized organelles that exist in select cells in the upper and lower respiratory epithelium, the ependymal cells in the cer- ebral ventricles, in the female reproductive tract and in spermatozoa. Each motile cilium consists of a cytoskeleton referred to as an axoneme that is com- posed of nine longitudinal microtubule doublets that surround a central pair of single microtubules in a 9+2 axonemal conformation.

  • Synergistic Genetic Interactions Between Pkhd1 and Pkd1 Result in an ARPKD-Like Phenotype in Murine Models
    BASIC RESEARCH www.jasn.org Synergistic Genetic Interactions between Pkhd1 and Pkd1 Result in an ARPKD-Like Phenotype in Murine Models Rory J. Olson,1 Katharina Hopp ,2 Harrison Wells,3 Jessica M. Smith,3 Jessica Furtado,1,4 Megan M. Constans,3 Diana L. Escobar,3 Aron M. Geurts,5 Vicente E. Torres,3 and Peter C. Harris 1,3 Due to the number of contributing authors, the affiliations are listed at the end of this article. ABSTRACT Background Autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease (ARPKD) and autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) are genetically distinct, with ADPKD usually caused by the genes PKD1 or PKD2 (encoding polycystin-1 and polycystin-2, respectively) and ARPKD caused by PKHD1 (encoding fibrocys- tin/polyductin [FPC]). Primary cilia have been considered central to PKD pathogenesis due to protein localization and common cystic phenotypes in syndromic ciliopathies, but their relevance is questioned in the simple PKDs. ARPKD’s mild phenotype in murine models versus in humans has hampered investi- gating its pathogenesis. Methods To study the interaction between Pkhd1 and Pkd1, including dosage effects on the phenotype, we generated digenic mouse and rat models and characterized and compared digenic, monogenic, and wild-type phenotypes. Results The genetic interaction was synergistic in both species, with digenic animals exhibiting pheno- types of rapidly progressive PKD and early lethality resembling classic ARPKD. Genetic interaction be- tween Pkhd1 and Pkd1 depended on dosage in the digenic murine models, with no significant enhancement of the monogenic phenotype until a threshold of reduced expression at the second locus was breached.

  • Sputum Collection Instructions Step 1 Step 2 Step 3
    Sputum Collection Instructions Sputum is mucus or phlegm coughed up from your lungs (not spit, saliva, or nasopharyngeal discharge). Sputum samples are used to diagnose active tuberculosis (TB) and to monitor the effectiveness of TB treatment. Step 1 • Drink plenty of water the night before collection. Best time of day to collect sputum is when you first wake. • Do not eat, drink or smoke before coughing up sputum from the lungs. • Rinse (do not swallow) the mouth with water before sputum is collected to minimize residual food particles, mouthwash, or oral drugs that might contaminate the specimen. Step 2 • Go away from other people either outside or beside an open window before collecting the specimen. This helps protect other people from TB germs when you cough. • Take the plastic tube with you. The collection tube is very clean. Do not open it until you are ready to use it. Carefully open the plastic tube. Step 3 • Take several deep breaths. • Cough hard from deep inside the chest three times to bring sputum up from your lungs. • Spit the sputum into the tube carefully. Try not to touch the rim of the container. • Repeat until you have 1 – 2 tablespoons of sputum in the tube. • Replace the cap tightly on the plastic tube. • Wash and dry the outside of the tube. • Write date of collection in the proper box on the lab slip. Step 4 • Place the primary specimen container (usually a conical centrifuge tube) in the clear plastic baggie that has the biohazard symbol imprint. • Place the white absorbent sheet in the plastic baggie.

There is scant information available to the angiographer faced with performing catheterization in a patient with dextrocardia. We report successful coronary angiography in a patient with dextrocardia associated with situs inversus totalis. Catheterization in our patient was performed without difficulty using standard techniques. Case Report A 50-year old white male with known dextrocardia presented with severe substernal chest pains. His symptoms were reproducible with mild to moderate exertion. Physical examination was unremarkable except for findings consistent with dextrocardia. Chest X ray was remarkable for dextrocardia and right-sided stomach bubble. Electrocardiogram, with the properly reversed leads for dextrocardia, showed left ventricular hypertrophy. Two-dimensional echocardiogram Figure 1. Left ventricular angiogram taken in LAO view showed a left-sided liver and dextrocardia without other abnormalities. LAO-left anterior oblique Exercise testing using modified Bruce protocol reproduced his symptoms within the first stage of the test. Cardiac catheterization was performed from the right femoral artery. Catheters were passed using mirror-image angiographic angles. A 6-French angulated pigtail catheter was passed into left ventricle and a left ventriculogram was obtained using 30-degree left anterior oblique imaging (Fig. 1).

  • Chest Pain in Pediatrics
    PEDIATRIC CARDIOLOGY 0031-3955/99 $8.00 + .OO CHEST PAIN IN PEDIATRICS Keith C. Kocis, MD, MS Chest pain is an alarming complaint in children, leading an often frightened and concerned family to a pediatrician or emergency room and commonly to a subsequent referral to a pediatric cardiologist. Because of the well-known associ- ation of chest pain with significant cardiovascular disease and sudden death in adult patients, medical personnel commonly share heightened concerns over pediatric patients presenting with chest pain. Although the differential diagnosis of chest pain is exhaustive, chest pain in children is least likely to be cardiac in origin. Organ systems responsible for causing chest pain in children include*: Idiopathic (12%-85%) Musculoskeletal (15%-31%) Pulmonary (12%-21%) Other (4%-21%) Psychiatric (5%-17%) Gastrointestinal (4'/0-7%) Cardiac (4%4%) Furthermore, chest pain in the pediatric population is rareZy associated with life-threatening disease; however, when present, prompt recognition, diagnostic evaluation, and intervention are necessary to prevent an adverse outcome. This article presents a comprehensive list of differential diagnostic possibilities of chest pain in pediatric patients, discusses the common causes in further detail, and outlines a rational diagnostic evaluation and treatment plan. Chest pain, a common complaint of pediatric patients, is often idiopathic in etiology and commonly chronic in nature. In one study,67 chest pain accounted for 6 in 1000 visits to an urban pediatric emergency room. In addition, chest pain is the second most common reason for referral to pediatric cardiologist^.^, 23, 78 Chest pain is found equally in male and female patients, with an average *References 13, 17, 23, 27, 32, 35, 44, 48, 49, 63-67, 74, and 78.
