The word phocomelia is from the Greek words phoke meaning "seal" and melos meaning "limb", in which the hands and/or feet start immediately at the main joint (shoulder/hip). Thalidomide malformations are almost all bilateral/symmetrical. That means both sides of the body are affected in the same way (both arms, both legs, all four). Other Thalidomide malformations When taken during pregnancy (particularly the first trimester) thalidomide causes malformations to almost any part of the body that is developing at the time the drug is taken. These are just some resulting malformations: Thalidomide Chronology Thalidomide became available in West Germany on October 1, 1957. Although never licenced for sale in the United States, it was available in sample form in the U.S. from 1958 to 1961

Extractions: THROMBOCYTOPENIA th day. 60% of thrombocytopenia is classified as idiopathic, but recent evidence suggests that the underlying cause is related to impaired production of megakaryocytes and platelets secondary to hypoxia. Pathophysiology: Maternal Disorders Drugs- heparin, hydralazine, thiazide diuretics TORCH infections HELLP syndrome Immunologic disorders In mom- ITP, SLE In fetus- Neonatal Alloimmune Thrombocytopenic Purpura (NATP), caused by anti-HPA-1a antibodies from mom. Infants are at risk for intracranial hemorrhage with vaginal delivery. Placental Disorders Chorioangioma Vascular thrombi Placental abruption Neonatal Disorders Decreased platelet production- Normal platelet size with a decreased number of megakaryocytes Thrombocytopenic-Absent Radius syndrome (TAR) Fanconi anemia- aplastic anemia with associated congenital anomalies Congenital leukemia Trisomy 13/18/21 Increased platelet destruction- Increased platelet size with normal or increased number of megakaryocytes Bacterial/candida sepsis TORCH infection DIC Birth asphyxia Necrotizing enterocolitis Clinical Symptoms: The most important part of the physical exam is to distinguish the sick (septic) neonate from the healthy one. Look for petechiae or the presence of mucosal bleeding
