摘要:

Genetic factors have been recognized in virtually all forms of endocrine dysfunction. Recent advances in the fields of endocrinology and genetics have led to the delineation of specific pathogenetic mechanisms in many of these disorders and provided further insight into many common endocrine disorders for which the genetics are still unresolved (e.g., diabetes mellitus).

摘要:

Nursing care of the pediatric patient requires a foundation of specific knowledge. A difficult and sometimes baffling component of nursing care of children is fluid and electrolyte management. It is essential for nurses to understand major principles regarding fluid and electrolyte balance to enhance their observation and intervention skills. Major principles guiding nurses who care for pediatric populations are:

摘要:

“My baby spits up so often.”This complaint is frequently heard during well child visits. Usually, spitting is not a worrisome problem for parents, infants, or health care providers. In certain cases, however, spitting may be a symptom of underlying gastrointestinal pathology. Therefore, it is the“well baby caretaker”who determines for which patients spitting requires a more extensive workup. One cause of spitting and vomiting in infants and children is gastroesophageal reflux (GER).

摘要:

Rheumatic fever is a disease that affects all parts of the body and has a special predilection for involvement of mesenchymal tissue. The onset may occur at any time, but children over the age of 5 and young adults seem to be most often affected. The course of individual cases is unpredictable, and the prognosis is dependent primarily upon the degree of residual heart damage after the acute episode has subsided and upon the prevention of subsequent recurrences. The severity of rheumatic fever seems to have decreased since 1900 with less residual rheumatic heart disease. The incidence of rheumatic fever is also decreasing in the United States, and the fall in mortality rates was documented prior to the advent of antimicrobial agents. However, the frequency of rheumatic fever and the prevalence of rheumatic heart disease remain high in the economically and socially disadvantaged populations. In spite of numerous investigators carrying out clinical research over a number of decades, rheumatic fever continues to tax the diagnostic acumen of physicians caring for children and young adults.

摘要:

Necrotizing enterocolitis is“a condition in which there is diffuse or patchy necrosis of the mucosa or submucosa in the small and/or large bowel. The process appears to be localized initially but can spread through the bowel wall to cause perforation, or longitudinally along the wall, leading to the infarction of long segments of the gut.”1This definition, stressing the likelihood of a rapid spread of the disease, is evidence of the necessity of early recognition of its signs and symptoms. Neonatal nurses, functioning as primary caregivers, are in a position to recognize vital changes in an infant's condition. The continuity of neonatal care enables these nurses to assess accurately an infant's“normal”daily functions. Any deviation from this assessment is immediately evident. In necrotizing enterocolitis, as in many other diseases, early recognition of symptoms, followed by accurate diagnosis and early treatment, greatly enhances the survival rate of affected prematures.
