GENERAL PRACTICE Part 2 GENERAL PRACTICE Part 2 I Dear Student, Welcome to “part general practice - Pediatrics- which is divided into 12 chapters including; Perinatology, Respiratory Problems, Cardiology, Hematology, Oncology, Infec- tion, Endocrinal Diseases, Gastroenterology, Metabolism, Urology, Genetics & followed by Multiple choice Questions, in a simple, illustrative way to make it easy to understand also it contains illustrative diagrams, photos and tables. Most of the topics represent the major categories of diseases e.g. what investigations to do on facing new couple going to marry, how to do fetal assessment, estimation of gestational age, the normal and abnormal findings of baby at birth, the congenital anomalies including the AD, AR, X- Linked and the multifactorial disorders. Birth injuries. How to do resuscitation of the baby. The technique of umbilical catheterization. The at risk pregnancy and intrauterine infection, prematurity, neonatal jaundice and how to dealwith, the neonatal convulsi- ons and how to manage, the respiratory problems of neonate and how to do mechanic- al ventilation, the congenital heart diseases and treatment of heart failure, the common childhood malignancies of blood, bones, brain, eye & kidney. The vaccination, infant development, child abuse, and poisoning in the last chapter. Therefore, after reading this book, you are encouraged to read books on different medical fields, because the book conceived when the previous curriculum was being implemented. In writing this book. I have tried to make it as clear & as brief as possible. Since too much brevity may compromise understanding, i have been a bit “liberal” in some areas including some details ẃ are necessary for the general practitioner’s understanding. This is done to encourage understanding rather than memorization. It is intended to be a text-book for medical students junior doctors & even those beyond can use this book for review.

DGS is the most common microdeletion India syndrome, and probably underrecognized due to the varied manifestations.

The diagnosis of common cause of microdeletion in human beings the 22q11.2 microdeletion is made through cytogenetics or and has a prevalence of 1/4000-1/6000 among fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH). The objectives of this live newborn infants. Approximately 95% of article were to describe the clinical features of 32 patients with the cases are diagnosed when a loss of genetic 22q11.2 microdeletion and the findings of other chromosomal abnormalities and genetic syndromes in phenotypically similar material is observed through the fluorescence in patients. This series was made up of 268 patients with clinical situ hybridization (FISH) technique.

    IJOMCR Vol.||02||Issue||03||Page 14-17||Jul-Sep 2016 Congenital Hypoplasia of Depressor Angularis Oris Muscle With Atrial Septal Defect: A Rare Case Report Authors Dr Ajeet Gopchade1, Dr Chetana Gopchade2 Consultant Pediatrician1, Consultant Gynaecologist2 Amrutpath Children Hospital Nanded- (MS)- India. Corresponding Author Dr Ajeet Gopchade Abstract An asymmetric crying facies of newborn is usually of a major concern to parents and treating pediatrician. Hypoplasia of depressor angularis oris musle is one of the common causes of such an asymmetric crying facies. It is moreover a cause of concern because in many cases there is increased incidence of other congenital anomalies especially cardiovascular malformations. A close differential diagnosis of this condition includes partial peripheral facial nerve palsy. Congenital hypoplasia of depressor angularis oris is a condition which is not expected to improve on its own and hence will invariably require surgical correction for cosmetic purposes. Its presence in any newborn make it necessary that treating physician look for any congenital heart disease, head and neck anomalies and genitourinary anomalies. Here we report a case of congenital hypoplasia of depressor angularis oris muscle with Ostium secondum type of atria septal defect. KeyWords : Depressor angularis Oris, Assymetric crying facies, Atrial Septal Defect Introduction musculoskeletal and head neck face anomalies.
