  Other more variable features include optic atrophy, congenital heart defects, short stature, and stroke (summary by Bergmann et al., 2009 ). [mendelian.co]

• Pathologist

  Children with speech and language delay are often referred to a speech-language pathologist. Early intervention can be a big help. [healthline.com]

  Your child’s treatment team might include a doctor, an audiologist, a speech-language pathologist, an occupational therapist, and/or a social worker. [med.umich.edu]

• Aspiration

  Given the long duration and unusual severity of the cytopenias, evolving aplastic anemia was considered, and a bone marrow aspirate and biopsy were performed. [bloodjournal.org]

  A bone marrow aspirate (BMA) showed severe hypoplasia of all cell lines. Serum IgG was 91 and IgM Case 2 is a girl born at term following an uncomplicated pregnancy. [nature.com]

  For those whose CBC worsens or remains abnormal over two or more measurements, a bone marrow aspirate/biopsy with cytogenetics should be performed. (ii) Bone marrow aspiration and biopsy with cytogenetic analysis. [clincancerres.aacrjournals.org]

  Bone marrow aspiration: diagnosis may be suggested by the finding of classic glycolipid-laden macrophages (Gaucher cells). This is not now the initial diagnostic test, as the blood enzyme test is sensitive, specific, and much less invasive. [patient.info]

• Neglect

  If a child is neglected or abused and does not hear others speaking, they will not learn to speak. Prematurity can lead to many kinds of developmental delays, including speech/language problems. [med.umich.edu]

  A disorder that makes it hard to put syllables together to form words is called apraxia of speech. A language disorder occurs when children have difficulty understanding what other people say, and can’t express their own thoughts. [healthline.com]

• Speech Disorder

  What causes speech and language problems? Developmental speech and language disorders are a common reason for speech/language problems in kids. These learning disorders are caused by the brain working differently. [med.umich.edu]

Any signs of developmental regression should be regarded as a medical emergency and an urgent medical workup is indicated. [learn.pediatrics.ubc.ca]

Make informed clinical choices for each patient, from diagnosis and treatment selection through post-treatment strategies and management of complications, with new evidence-based criteria throughout. [books.google.com]

However, the focus of the book remains clinical, describing symptoms and signs at presentation, how to come to a diagnosis and methods for treatment. As with the previous edition, the book can be used in two main ways. [books.google.de]

TREATMENT There is no cure for this disorder. Treatment is symptom specific and supportive. Aplastic anemia and immunodeficiency are treated with bone marrow/stem cell transplantation. [secure.ssa.gov]

The prognosis is poor due to the severity of the disease course. Progressive bone marrow failure occurs in over 80% of cases and is the primary cause of early mortality. TREATMENT There is no cure for this disorder. [secure.ssa.gov]

MDS and AML in patients with SDS has a poor prognosis, with a survival rate of < 20%. Inborn conditions Rare reports of increase in spontaneous chromosomal breakage. [atlasgeneticsoncology.org]

A poor prognosis exists for intellectual development with early-onset seizures and inadequately controlled seizures. The diagnosis of Lowe syndrome is compatible with normal intelligence. [emedicine.medscape.com]

Prognosis [ 7, 8 ] Type 1: very variable disease severity. Type 2 (acute neuronopathic): rapidly progressive with death during infancy. [patient.info]

Understanding the genetic and molecular background of BMFS helps determine an accurate diagnosis, prediction of disease prognosis and specific management. [omicsonline.org]

In addition, some of the etiologies are genetically transmitted and may affect future family members. [pedclerk.bsd.uchicago.edu]

This suggested that a defect in telomere maintenance could be involved in the etiology of this disease. [journals.plos.org]

An underlying etiology for developmental delay should be sought through attention to the following clues on history: Prenatal history Complications Prenatal diagnoses made (eg. Down Syndrome) Infections (eg. TORCH) Exposures (eg. [learn.pediatrics.ubc.ca]

This observation has suggested a common pathophysiology in bone marrow dysfunction and leukemogenesis. As reported, these disorders are otherwise quite distinct. [clincancerres.aacrjournals.org]

The pathophysiology results from depressed synthesis or remodeling of oligosaccharide moieties of glycoproteins. The ultimate result is the formation of abnormal glycoproteins affecting their structure and metabolic functions. [lymphedemapeople.com]

Can Developmental Delay Be Prevented? Since there are so many different conditions that can lead to developmental delays, there isn’t one “right way” to prevent developmental delay. [mychildwithoutlimits.org]

In Shwachman-Diamond syndrome (SDS), a defective SDBS protein prevents eIF6 eviction, inhibiting its recycle to the nucleus and subsequent formation of the active 80S ribosome. [jmg.bmj.com]

The genetic defect in Fanconi Anemia prevents the chromosomes from being able to repair themselves properly leading to bone marrow failure and cancer at an early age. [verywell.com]
