The mucous homogenate was used to measure pepsin, characterizing the activity of the chief cells of the stomach. Results A study of the functional status of the rat stomach revealed increased peptic potential of the stomach, which was more marked on day 9 of readaptation. The hypersecretory gastric syndrome, as evidenced in flight animals, is characterized by a higher activity of the chief gastric pepsinogen-producing cells and an increased gastric level of hydrochloric acid during the interdigestive period. The growth of the gastric acid/peptic potential in the flight animals was correlated with an increased level of gastrin, the main physiologic activator of gastric epithelial cells. This series of alterations created prerequisites for increased aggression of gastric juice in relation to gastric mucosa and possible ulceration. Phillips, Robert Institute Institute of Biomedical Problems Institute Institute of Biomedical Problems Institute of Biomedical Problems Colorado State University Objectives/Hypothesis Previous experiments have revealed an increase in the acidic-peptic potential of the stomach and a decline of the functional capability of the pancreas. This experiment was to conduct a morphological and biochemical investigation of changes in the mucous membrane of the small intestine after space flight. Approach or Methods the duodenum, jejunum, and ileum sections of the small intestine were removed from flight and control animals, and the mucosa was examined with an electron microscope. Enzymes involved in cavity and membrane digestion (carbohydrases, peptidases, monoglyceride lipase, alkaline phosphatase) were investigated biochemically. Results the investigation of the functional status of the small intestine revealed complex changes of enzyme activities. In the system of protein membrane hydrolysis, there was a shift of proximodistal gradient dipeptidase activity, indicating the compensatory nature of the changes. Analysis of processes of lipid digestion revealed a number of alterations in digestive patterns manifested as a significant decrease of nonglyceridelipase activity and an increase of alkaline phosphatase activity in the proximal segment of the small intestine. These changes also reflect the compensatory and adaptational nature of the alterations. Changes of digestive/transport hydrolysis of proteins, fats, and carbohydrates were reversible and functional in nature. The adaptive nature of the rearrangements of membrane digestion is demonstrated by a self-regulatory activity of the digestive system in the distribution of enzyme activities. Minor modifications of diet or digestive physiology may alter the intestinal microflora equilibrium. Space flight conditions may lead to an imbalance in the digestive microflora, thus leading to nutritional and physiological modifications. The objective of this study was to assess the bacterial and endogenous metabolic potentials of intestinal microflora, and to test the hypothesis that the digestive physiology and the detoxication system are altered after space flight. Glycosidase activities were expressed as the rate of p-nitrophenol released from its specific precursor. From these samples, neutral, acid-, and sulfomucin- containing cells were counted. Xenobiotic metabolizing enzymes were studied through the determination of microsomal and cytosolic protein concentrations. The activity of glutathione-S-transferases was assayed in duplicate in both microsomal and cytolitic fraction using spectrophotometry with 1-chloro-2,4-dinitrobenzine as a substrate. Of the microbial glycolytic activities that were investigated, none were modified by space flight. The specific activity of microsomal glutathione-S-transferase in the flight rats was enhanced threefold and persisted to a lesser extent in the specimens that underwent a 9-day postflight recovery period. Baldwin Co-Investigator(s) None Institute University of California, Irvine Institute Objectives/Hypothesis Exposure to microgravity causes mechanical unloading of skeletal muscles. The second area of investigation that requires examination is related to the transcriptional, translational, and post-translational regulation of myosin isoform expression. Oxidative enzymes were measured and mitochondrial and cytoplasmic isoforms were identified by alcohol inactivation. Results Findings demonstrate a reduced expression of the two slow myosin heavy chain and an increased expression of the two fastest myosin heavy chain isoforms. Coupled with muscle atrophy, this tends to reduce the effective muscle mass to support antigravity function and locomotor activity. There also appeared to be a selective reduction in the capacity of the muscle to produce long-chain fatty acids, which may impair endurance during space flight. A decrease in palminate oxidizing capacity was observed in the flight animals, but no decrease was found in pyruvate oxidizing capacity in fast-twitch muscles.

The team guides the diagnostic workup and, once results are available, meets with the family for sex assignment. The process of sex assignment is family-centered and involves a discussion of the different components of sex: chromosomes, genes, hormones, internal structures, external structures, reproductive function and societal values. Parents should be continuously educated concerning the issues being assessed in their infant. Thus, it is imperative that they understand the pros and cons of the recommendation of the multidisciplinary team. This typically requires several meetings of the specialists and family to help the parents reach an informed decision. Providers should support the family and encourage holding, feeding and interacting with the infant as normally as possible. Gender neutral terms such as "your baby", "Baby Smith", "gonads" (instead of testicles or ovaries), "genital folds" (instead of scrotum or labia), "genital tubercle" (instead of clitoris or penis) should be used when communicating with parents and between providers. Treatment involves the replacement of hydrocortisone, fludrocortisone, and sodium chloride. Hyperbilirubinemia may be secondary to concomitant thyroid or cortisol deficiency. This structure should be measured on its dorsal surface from pubic ramus to the tip. Note the degree of labioscrotal fusion and its rugosity, and the presence or absence of a separate vaginal opening. Gonads (testes/ovaries), presence of uni- or bilateral cryptorchidism, inguinal masses that could represent gonads in the apparent female infant. Fetal gonadotropins are required for androgen production, testicular descent and penile growth. Therefore, male neonates with congenital hypogonadotropic hypogonadism may present with micropenis and cryptorchidism. Hypogonadotropic hypogonadism should be suspected in infants with micropenis (usually without hypospadias) or cryptorchidism, particularly if associated with other midline defects or a history of hypoglycemia. Therefore, in infants in whom hypogonadotropic hypogonadism is suspected, all pituitary axes need to be evaluated and treated accordingly. As different conditions may result in the development of atypical genitalia, there is no single test that will lead to the diagnosis in all affected patients. To better utilize resources, diagnostic evaluation should start with a detailed history and physical exam, followed by genetic, hormonal and imaging studies. A karyotype should be obtained urgently, as it helps develop a differential diagnosis and to plan further investigations. The degree of hypothyroxinemia is also related to gestational age and the severity of neonatal disease. In these preterm infants, a period of approximately 6­ 8 weeks of hypothyroxinemia occurs, and is more severe at shorter gestational ages. It is uncertain whether this condition contributes to adverse neurodevelopmental outcome or whether treatment with T4 during this period results in improved developmental outcome. Testosterone is produced by testicular Leydig cells and is converted to a more active form, dihydrotestosterone. Raised basal levels are consistent with primary gonadal failure; low levels can be a sign of hypogonadotropic hypogonadism. Hormonal Tests 70 Guidelines for Acute Care of the Neonate, Edition 26, 2018­19 Section of Neonatology, Department of Pediatrics, Baylor College of Medicine Section 5-Endocrinology the prevalence of permanent hypothyroidism in preterm infants is comparable to that of term infants. It is important to distinguish transient hypothyroxinemia from primary or secondary hypothyroidism. Epidemiology Diagnosis In most patients, hypothyroxinemia is transient and resolves completely in 4­8 weeks. However, the frequency of follow-up thyroid function studies should be based on the clinical picture and the degree of hypothyroxinemia. Prognosis the prevalence of hypothyroidism is 1 in 4,000, however, the prevalence of hypothyroxinemia is not known. Because levels of total and free T4 in premature infants are low, distinguishing physiologic hypothyroxinemia from true central (secondary hypothalamic or hypopituitary) hypothyroidism is often difficult. At birth, a surge of fetal cortisol levels is seen, which is much higher in spontaneous labor compared to induced labor or cesarean delivery. Evidence suggests that the fetal adrenal cortex does not produce cortisol de novo until late in gestation (approximately 30 weeks gestation) when increased levels of cortisol have the needed effect of inducing the maturation required for extrauterine life.

After a mangrove is pollinated, it produces a propagule, which grows on a parent plant and requires carbon dioxide and water from the parent, but produces its own sugars from photosynthesis. After a while, it separates from the parent tree and falls into the water where it can be transported great distances. Propagules can resist dessication and survive for long periods of time until they root in a suitable environment. Proprioceptors are located in muscles, tendons, and joint capsules and when stimulated, transmit information concerning movements and position of the body; also called "proprioreceptor" prosopinacocyte in sponges, an endopinacocyte lining an incurrent canal.

Caution: Catheterization is contraindicated in pelvic fractures, known trauma to the urethra, or blood at the meatus. In uncircumcised male infants, expose the meatus with gentle retraction of the foreskin. In girls, the urethral orifice may be difficult to visualize, but it is usually immediately anterior to the vaginal orifice. Continued pressure will overcome this resistance, and the catheter will enter the bladder. Carefully remove the catheter once specimen is obtained, and cleanse skin of iodine. If indwelling Foley catheter is inserted, inflate balloon with sterile water or saline as indicated on bulb, then connect catheter to drainage tubing attached to urine drainage bag. Indications: To obtain urine in a sterile manner for urinalysis and culture in children younger than 2 years (avoid in children with genitourinary tract anomalies, coagulopathy, or intestinal obstruction). Complications: Infection (cellulitis), hematuria (usually microscopic), intestinal perforation. Anterior rectal pressure in girls or gentle penile pressure in boys may be used to prevent urination during the procedure. Use a syringe with a 22-gauge, 1-inch needle, and puncture at a 10- to 20- degree angle to the perpendicular, aiming slightly caudad. Indications: Evaluation of fluid for the diagnosis of disease, including infectious, inflammatory, and crystalline disease, and removal of fluid for relief of pain and/or functional limitation. Procedure: Place child supine on exam table with knee in full extension, with use of a padded roll underneath the knee for support, if unable to fully extend. Apply the probe in transverse position in the midline of the lower abdomen, positioning it to locate the bladder. The shape of the bladder is usually rounded, however it can appear spherical, pyramidal, or even cuboidal. This technique can also be used in the evaluation of anuric patients, to differentiate between decreased urine production and urinary retention. This is also useful in the case of patients with a urinary catheter as the catheter is usually visible. If it is visualized and the bladder also has urine around it, the catheter is likely malfunctioning. In this transverse midline view of the pelvis the bladder appears black (anechoic) and cuboid in the midline. This is the typical appearance of a full bladder on ultrasound, though the shape may vary. The puncture point should be at the posterior margin of the patella in both cases. Prep the overlying skin in a sterile fashion, and once cleaned, numb the area using 1% lidocaine with a small gauge needle. Then, using an 18-gauge needle attached to a syringe, puncture the skin at a 10- to 20- degree downward angle, and advance under continuous syringe suction until fluid is withdrawn, indicating entry into the joint space. In large effusions, several syringes may be needed for complete fluid removal if so desired, and the needle may have to be redirected to access pockets of fluid. Upon completion, withdraw the needle and cover the wound with a sterile gauze dressing. Indications: Cellulitis that is unresponsive to initial standard therapy, recurrent cellulitis or abscesses, immunocompromised patients in whom organism recovery is necessary and may affect antimicrobial therapy. Select site to aspirate at the point of maximal inflammation (more likely to increase recovery of causative agent than leading edge of erythema or center). Using 18- or 20-gauge needle (22-gauge for facial cellulitis), advance to appropriate depth and apply negative pressure while withdrawing needle. Complications: Inadequate abscess drainage, local tissue injury, pain, scar formation, and in rare cases fistula formation. Consider specialized surgical evaluation for abscesses in cosmetically or anatomically sensitive areas such as the face, breast, or the anogenital region. Ultrasound Identification: Ultrasound imaging can be used to differentiate cellulitis from abscess.

Although such deformity is often primary or idiopathic, thus falling within the orthopaedic field of expertise, it may also be a consequence of neurological disease which causes weakness of paraspinal muscles. Recognized neurological associations of kyphoscoliosis and scoliosis include · · · · · · · · Chiari I malformation, syringomyelia Myelopathy (cause or effect? Duchenne muscular dystrophy Stiff person syndrome may produce a characteristic hyperlordotic spine. Some degree of scoliosis occurs in virtually all patients who suffer from paralytic poliomyelitis before the pubertal growth spurt. The test may be positive with disc protrusion, intraspinal tumour, or inflammatory radiculopathy. A positive straight leg raising test is reported to be a sensitive indicator of nerve root irritation, proving positive in 95% of those with surgically proven disc herniation. Crossed straight leg raising, when the complaint of pain on the affected side occurs with raising of the contralateral leg, is said to be less sensitive but highly specific. Infarction due to vertebral artery occlusion (occasionally posterior inferior cerebellar artery) or dissection is the most common cause of lateral medullary syndrome, although tumour, demyelination, and trauma are also recognized causes. Cross Reference Torticollis - 208 - Levitation L Lateropulsion Lateropulsion or ipsipulsion is literally pulling to one side. The term may be used to describe ipsilateral axial lateropulsion after cerebellar infarcts preventing patients from standing upright causing them to lean towards the opposite side. Lateral medullary syndrome may be associated with lateropulsion of the eye towards the involved medulla, and there may also be lateropulsion of saccadic eye movements. This spinal reflex manifests as flexion of the arms at the elbow, adduction of the shoulders, lifting of the arms, dystonic posturing of the hands, and crossing of the hands. Causes include retinoblastoma, retinal detachment, toxocara infection, congenital cataract, and benign retinal hypopigmentation. It is most often seen in corticobasal (ganglionic) degeneration, but a few cases with pathologically confirmed progressive supranuclear palsy have been reported. Although most commonly encountered (and originally described) in multiple sclerosis, it is not pathognomonic of demyelination and has been described with other local pathologies such as: · · · · · · · · subacute combined degeneration of the cord (vitamin B12 deficiency); nitrous oxide (N2 O) exposure; traumatic or compressive cervical myelopathy. Pathophysiologically, this movement-induced symptom may reflect the exquisite mechanosensitivity of axons which are demyelinated or damaged in some other way.

Holmes­Adie pupil: dilated pupil showing strong but slow reaction to accommodation but minimal reaction to light (tonic > phasic). The most common cause of the locked-in syndrome is basilar artery thrombosis causing ventral pontine infarction (both pathological laughter and pathological crying have on occasion been reported to herald this event). Bilateral ventral midbrain and internal capsule infarcts can produce a similar picture. The locked-in syndrome may be mistaken for abulia, akinetic mutism, coma, and catatonia. Cross References Echolalia; Festination, Festinant gait; Palilalia; Perseveration Logopenia Logopenia is a reduced rate of language production, due especially to wordfinding pauses, but with relatively preserved phrase length and syntactically complete language, seen in aphasic syndromes, such as primary non-fluent aphasia. Cross Reference Aphasia Logorrhoea Logorrhoea is literally a flow of speech, or pressure of speech, denoting an excessive verbal output, an abnormal number of words produced during each utterance. The term may be used for the output in the Wernicke/posterior/sensory type of aphasia or for an output which superficially resembles Wernicke aphasia but in which syntax and morphology are intact, rhythm and articulation are usually normal, and paraphasias and neologisms are few. Moreover, comprehension is better than anticipated in the Wernicke type of aphasia. Patients may be unaware of their impaired output (anosognosia) due to a failure of self-monitoring.
