He was a full-term normal vaginal delivery after an uneventful antenatal period, weighing 2.5 kg. The cutting of the umbilical cord was not associated with excessive bleeding. Vitamin K had been given intramuscularly at birth. A physical examination revealed a haemodynamically stable but pale baby with bilaterally symmetrically soft, fluctuant swellings measuring 3.5–4 cm in diameter over the parietal scalp regions. The rest of the examination was within normal limits. There was no evidence of bleeding from any other site or family history of bleeding tendencies.\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000Figure 1 \u0000Bilateral cephalohaematoma.\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000How do you differentiate between the diagnoses below? \u0000\u00001.

In addition, there is now a statutory duty of candour, meaning a legal obligation, for NHS organisations within England as well as independent health and social care providers. This follows the Health and Social Care Act, which came into force in November 2014. Different laws apply in other parts of the UK.\u0000\u0000The Francis report is explicit that any patient harmed by the provision of a healthcare service is informed of the fact and offered an appropriate remedy, regardless of whether a complaint has been made or a question asked about it.

Knowledge of the immunoglobulin levels in healthy children of different ages is necessary when estimating immunological deficiency states of various kinds. After the measurement of the serum levels of the three major isotypes, examination of the capacity of the child to form antibodies to several antigens is a reasonable next step in the evaluation. We can rely on vaccine responses to make the distinction between significant primary immunodeficiency diseases and transiently low immunoglobulin levels. On the other hand, normal values of IgM, IgG and IgA are not always enough to exclude a more serious condition. Regardless of immunoglobulin concentrations, if a child's history indicates that further evaluation is warranted, a complete humoral immunity study should be carried out, including IgG subclasses, specific antibody responses and identification of B lymphocyte populations.","PeriodicalId":8153,"journal":{"name":"Archives of Disease in Childhood: Education & Practice Edition","volume":"7 1","pages":"129 - 135"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-03-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80447732","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Wacogne","doi":"10.1136/archdischild-2016-310754","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1136/archdischild-2016-310754","url":null,"abstract":"In the UK, paediatricians, in common with other doctors, are required to learn and develop as professionals, or “do CPD”. There are probably as many approaches to this as there are people who maintain professional status. To briefly summarise for those not in the UK, or who are in a training job where things are done a little differently: Our regulatory body, the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health, describes the range of things we can legitimately describe as CPD. We—mostly—fill out a diary of our activities, which is scrutinised at our yearly appraisal, the record of which is used by our Responsible Officer to recommend to the General Medical Council that we revalidate—that we maintain our licence to practice. Whether this process is meaningful depends on the person filling out the diary, and to a lesser extent the appraiser. The diary asks us to identify our learning needs, and, I’ll be honest, this is the bit where I fall pretty short. I can spend an hour in a fascinating X-ray meeting, and learn all sorts of amazing things— and even think, and record, that I need to find out a little more about, say, the significance of an incidental finding of an arachnoid cyst on an MRI scan of the brain. But it is very rare that I get the chance to actually answer that question, because there is always something new to look for, think about, find out about. Although I would hope that I’m learning all the time, the completion of the cycle—where I identify my need and address it—is weak for me. At least, it is most of the time. But sometimes I get really lucky. I have the advantage of working with some great folk, and being able to represent a journal, and therefore I can commission an article on precisely that—what do I do about the incidental arachnoid cyst? In this issue my Editor’s Choice is a paper by Chirag Patel and Desi Rodrigues, Fifteen minute consultation: Incidental findings on brain and spine imaging (see page 208). It unpicks one of one of the heartsink features of modern medicine, where you’ve done a test for a perfectly good reason, and have thrown up a seemingly random finding. I often warn families of this very possibility: “The thing is, our tests are sometimes too good, and sometimes turn up with information that we need to share with you, but that actually has nothing to do with why we did the test in the first place.” It’s a compelling reason to minimise testing wherever possible—I’m sure that on many occasions my own well meaning but over-eager investigation has resulted in what will turn out to be a lifetime of higher insurance payments. The complexity of brain imaging—and the complexity of the brain—means that these incidental findings can be perplexing, and set in a chain a series of medical consequences. The “cut out and keep” aspect of the paper is table 1, which at the very least will help you share care with neurosurgeons. Education & Practice is the CPD journal in the Archives of Disease in Childhood stable.

It was endorsed by the WHO as the second step on the analgesic ladder for cancer pain and has been used routinely for postoperative and breakthrough pain. Recently, its safety and efficacy have been called into question, following deaths after adenotonsillectomy was associated with its use. This has led to regulation by the US Food and Drug Administration, European Medicines Agency and the UK Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency to place significant restrictions on its use, and some centres have stopped using it altogether. In this article, we discuss the developmental pharmacology underpinning its action, reviewing what is known about the pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics and pharmacogenetics in children, how this relates to prescribing, as well as the practical issues and the recent regulatory framework surrounding its use.","PeriodicalId":8153,"journal":{"name":"Archives of Disease in Childhood: Education & Practice Edition","volume":"57 1","pages":"148 - 151"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-03-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84889501","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
