What do you think is going on? What is your next diagnostic test? What will this show? What do you do after that? How do you treat?
- neck stiffness - meningitis - lumbar puncture (leukocytosis, protein, glucose) - Empiric broad spectrum antibiotics - Hearing loss
A 14-year old male complained to his parents of feeling quite ill with headache, dizziness, nausea, and feeling very weak. After a rise in in his body temperature, an increase in the severity of his headache, and the development of a rash, he came in to see you. The patient had a temperature of 103.5 and an increased heart rate. What symptom do you need to ask this patient about? What are you concerned the diagnosis is? What is your diagnostic work up? How do you treat? What can be a complication?
- Coarctation of the aorta - Narrowing of proximal descending aortic arch - EKG (usually reveals left ventricular hypertrophy), CXR, and echo - First stabilize with prostaglandin, then surgical repair
A 15 year old male patient presents to the clinic with chest pain when he is playing soccer. The vitals taken by the MA reveal a blood pressure of 150/90 on RUE. Because you are an awesome and savvy PA, you check his blood pressure on his left leg, which is 120/70. You listen to his heart and hear a murmur in the left axilla. What do you suspect is going on? What is that? What is a normal UE vs LE BP change? What diagnostic work up will you do? How do you treat?

A 5 year‐old boy is brought in by his mother, she complains he is "bouncing off the walls." At home he "can't sit still" is "constantly fidgeting." In preschool, his teachers sometimes have him run laps around the classroom when the other kids are doing focused activities. She is worried he won't be ready to start kindergarten in the fall. The only way she can get him to sit still is to put him in front of a video game, which he will focus on for "hours at a time." However when she tells him it is time to stop he has terrible tantrums. He is also her naughtiest child: constantly doing things "he knows he's not allowed to do." She is at her wits' end and wants to know if this is just a normal boy with a lot of energy or if he has something wrong with him like ADHD or bipolar disorder. What should be on your differential for ADHD?How do you diagnose ADHD? What causes it? How do you treat? When do you refer?

An 18 month old male presents to the emergency department with six hours of stomach pain. He awoke at 0400 crying. His mother carried him and he settled down after a few minutes and then fell back asleep. Over the next few hours, he woke up intermittently crying. His appetite has been poor since the onset of these symptoms. He is able to walk but prefers to be carried by his mom this morning. He is less playful than usual. He would sometimes *crouch down crying*. There is no vomiting or diarrhea. His last stool yesterday was normal. There is no fever, cough, or runny nose. There is no history of abdominal trauma. An abdominal series reveals a soft tissue density in the right lower quadrant. What do you think is causing his symptoms? What is that? What is the most common spot? What other imaging helps? How do you treat?

The septum primum and endocardial cushion don't fuse, blood goes from left to right and you have an *acyanotic* shunt
Atrial septal defects (primum) - what's the problem?
The septum secundum is creates too big of a hole in septum premum, blood flows from left to right.
Atrial septal defects (secundum) - what's the problem?
- Septum secundum - Thick (rigid) - Pressure on the right is greater than that on the left (at this stage). Because the septum 2 is on the right, the septum primum (green) is able to swing open, letting blood flow through the foramen ovale
Based on this diagram of the embryologic atria - what is the *blue* line? Is it thick or thin? Why is it important it is on the right?
- Septum primum - From top to bottom - Foramen primum is first - it isn't really a "hole" but rather the gap between the end of the developing septum and the black triangle (the endo cushion) - Foramen secundum - this really is a "hole" in the septum primum and eventually allows for foramen ovale
Based on this diagram of the embryologic atria - what is the *green* line? How does it develop? What is the first "hole" in it's development? and in what order do they develop? What is the second "hole"?
- Aorticopulmonary septum - It develops in a spiral fashion - Oxygen rich and oxygen poor blood

Charlie, an 11 years old missed 18 days of school last month because he worries that something bad may happen to his mom while he is in school. Corinne's, a 14-year-old refuses to join an after-school clubs. When she did venture out with a cousin, it took her hours to do her makeup because she didn't think she looked quite right. Emily has difficulty falling asleep at night because her mind was "constantly racing" with thoughts and concerns about anything and everything.

During a routine sports physical, the physician noted that a twelve-year-old boy, had a long continuous heart murmur at the second intercostal space near the left sternal border. A systolic thrill was also noted in the same region. When questioned, the patient's mother recalled that the child had periods of cyanosis and breathlessness as an infant, but that his previous pediatrician said that the murmur and the symptoms were nothing to be concerned about.

Mother brought two years old child to pediatric office due to the forehead headache that had lasted for three weeks.
