So nice of you to say, I wish good luck in your pediatric career. I remember I left one new copy of the second edition at Al Hussein Hospital, I hope you were able to use it. I graduated from Al Azhar 1997. Thank you.
I'm a pediatric nurse practitioner studying for the ANCC pediatric boards after being out of school for 14 years. I've been practicing in peds Neurology, so my general peds knowledge has not been up to date. Your reviews are a life savior, I will keep you posted on how I go on my boards which will be in 3 weeks. I have purchased other ARNP reviews which I found suboptimal to the knowledge I need to pass the test. thank you...thank you for providing your reviews on You Tube! Much appreciated!
@ 1:10:10 you said new born to mother with latent TB and then you say PPD positive- is that PPD on newborn? do you do PPD on a new born? whats the earliest age you can do PPD on a child?
Hema Gajjela : Thank you for your question. .Yes.. if the PPD positive in the baby which is usually performed at 4-6 weeks of age, the baby has to be on INH therapy and B6. TST test can be done at any age, usually done at 4-6 weeks, then can be repeated at 3-4 months, TST is helpful if positive before 6 months of age, but negative result is not helpful to guide therapy at this age, TST result of household member can used to decide about the therapy. Here is some clinical scenarios by CDC and AAP. This slide is really summarized, I will make it more in the detail in the next update.. Mother with a positive TST result and no evidence of current diseaseBecause the positive tuberculin skin test (TST) result may be evidence of an unrecognized case of contagious tuberculosis (TB) within the household, careful screening and evaluation of the other members of the household should be performed. Perform a Mantoux test when the infant is aged 4-6 weeks and 3-4 months. Consider administration of isoniazid (INH) (10 mg/kg/d) to the infant if the family cannot be promptly tested. Mother has current disease but is noncontagious at deliveryIn this situation, separation of the mother and infant is not necessary, and the mother can breastfeed the infant. Evaluation of the infant includes chest radiography and Mantoux test at age 4-6 weeks; if the Mantoux test is negative, a repeat test is warranted at ages 3-4 months and 6 months. INH should be administered even if the TST result and chest radiography do not suggest TB, because sufficient cell-mediated immunity (CMI) to prevent progressive disease may not develop until age 6 months. Mother has current disease and is contagious at deliveryIn this situation, separation of the mother and infant is recommended until the mother is noncontagious. The rest of the management is the same as for the mother with current disease but who is noncontagious at delivery. Mother with hematogenous spreadCongenital TB is possible in this scenario. Promptly perform a Mantoux test and chest radiography, and immediately begin treatment for the infant. INH should be administered until the infant is aged 6 months, at which time evaluation of the infant with a TST should be repeated. If the TST result is positive, the infant should be treated with INH for a total of 9 months.
Mispoke on a couple of parts of Developmental Milestones, but very thorough nonetheless. Thank you very much, sir. This will be a good review for MOC in General Pediatrics. Thinking of getting the book. I only have a few months left to study-- while carrying a full office schedule, etc.-- and need to hit the hard parts. Will you go in a Chapter order, or will you be willing to do the Board's difficult to pass parts first?
r3tkd2 Thank you very much for your nice note, I am recording the key chapters first, the. Respiratory Disorders Board Review is the next video, will be released in the next few days. The book is very easy to read and can be finished within few weeks, also featured a Last Minute Review chapter with more than 1000 clinical case scenario important to remember before the exam. You can view the sample chapters to see if the book will match your style of studying. You can view the chapters on Springer website, Google books, Amazon on the links on the top right corner of the channel page... Good luck in your exam. @10
PEDIATRIC BOARD A LAST MINUTE REVIEW Ever so grateful. Thank you for the links. I'm on it. Looking forward to complementing with your videos. Respiratory will be awesome.
