30-YEAR OLD BRASILIAN WOMEN LOOKS LIKE 9-MONTH BABY
Experts from the Faculty of Medicine at the University of Ceara believe that what Maria suffers from is a severe deficiency of the thyroid hormone. As a result of hypothyroidism, her body was never able to develop physically or mentally. They also went on to say that if the case had been identified early on, Maria may have grown up as a normal child. Read more

CAUSES OF EXCESSIVE GROWTH OR TALL STATURE-FAMILIAL-OBESITY-TRUE GIGANTISM (excess GH secretion)-Marfan Syndrome-Klinefelter Syndrome-Sotos Syndrome
22
Sotos syndrome (cerebral gigantism) is a rare genetic disorder characterized by excessive physical growth during the first 2 to 3 years of life. The disorder may be accompanied by autism,[1] mild mental retardation, delayed motor, cognitive, and social development, hypotonia (low muscle tone), and speech impairments. Children with Sotos syndrome tend to be large at birth and are often taller, heavier, and have larger heads (macrocephaly) than is normal for their age. Signs of the disorder, which vary among individuals, include a disportionately large and long head with a slightly protrusive forehead, large hands and feet, hypertelorism (an abnormally increased distance between the eyes), and downslanting eyes. Clumsiness, an awkward gait, and unusual aggressiveness or irritability may also occur. Although most cases of Sotos syndrome occur sporadically, familial cases have also been reported.

DIABETES MELLITUS NUMBER OF CHILDREN DEVELOPING DM IS INCREASINGALMOST ALL CHILDREN HAVE TYPE 1 = INSULIN-DEPENDET DIABETES
28
CLASSIFICATION OF DIABETES
TYPE 1 MOST CHILDHOOD DIABETES- destruction of pancreatic beta-cells by an autoimmune processTYPE 2 INSULIN RESISTANCE followed later by beta-cell failure- usually older children-obesity-related-not as prone to ketosis-commoner in some ethnic groups e.g Indian
29
TYPE 3. OTHER SPECIFIC TYPES
MODY = maturity-onset diabetes of the youngeInfections e.g congenital rubellaDrugs e.g corticosteroidsCyctis fibrosisCushing syndromeGenetic/chromosomal syndromes e.g Down and TurnerNeonatal diabetesTYPE 4. GESTATIONAL DIABETES GDM

SYMPTOMS AND SIGNS OF DIABETES
There are two peaks of presentation od DM1 preschool and teenagersSymptoms and signs of diabetesmost common – the classical triad-polydipsia-polyuria-weight lossless common-enuresis-skin sepsis-candida and other infections

INSULIN Human insulin analoguesrapid-acting insulin analogues – Humalog, NovoRapidVery long- acting insulin analogues – LantusShort-acting – Actrapid, Humulin S
35
HYPOGLYCAEMIA Common problem in neonatesDef. Plasma glucose <2.6mmol/LClinical features include – sweating, pallor, headache, seizures, coma
36
CLINICAL FEATURES OF HYPOTHYROIDISM
CONGENITAL – usually asymptomatic and picked up on screening, otherwise – failure to thrive, feeding problems, prolonged jaundice, constipation, pale , cold mottled dry skin, coarse facies, large tongue, hoarse cry, goitre, umbilical hernia, delayed development
