Enviado por "Consultorio Médico Flores" - Máncora - Perú. VIDEO CON FINES DE EDUCACION MÉDICA Parto día 13 Mayo, 00:17 hrs, niña, prematura de 36 semanas, 1900 grs y 41 cms de talla.Observamos una malformación congénita llamada "onfalocele", o exonfalos, a una malformación congénita que consiste en la permanencia del intestino y otros órganos abdominales en la base del cordón umbilical. La membrana que recubre el onfalocele, no es otra cosa que el amnios. Puede acompañarse de evisceración del lóbulo derecho del hígado, del estómago y parte del intestino. Por la fragilidad de la membrana del onfalocele y por los peligros que he señalado (ruptura, evisceración, infección),estos pacientes deben ser sometidos a tratamiento quirúrgico de urgencia dentro de las primeras 24 horas del nacimiento. En efecto, a medida que pasa el tiempo,la deglución de aire y alimento distienden las vísceras huecas del abdomen y la reducción es más difícil. MEDICAL EDUCATIONAL VIDEO Baby born on the 13th In May 2008, 00:17 hrs, girl , premature of 36 weeks, 1900 grs and 41 cm of height. We observe a congenital malformation called "omphalocele", to a congenital malformation that consists of the permanence of the intestine and other abdominal organs of the base of the umbilical cord.An omphalocele is a congenital (found at birth) malformation in which variable amounts of abdominal contents protrude into the base of the umbilical cord. As the fetus grows in pregnancy, the intestines grow and get longer and project from the abdomen into the umbilical cord. This growth is taking place from the sixth to the tenth week of pregnancy. Normally the intestines return rapidly into the abdomen by the eleventh week of pregnancy. If this fails to happen, an omphalocele is present. It is important to remember that you did not do anything to make this happen. However, more than half of all infants born with an omphalocele may have other birth defects. Some of these defects may be serious Surgery must be delayed until the baby is doing well if the omphalocele sac is intact. Small omphaloceles are repaired immediately to prevent infection or tissue damage. Larger omphaloceles may require gradual reduction by enlarging the abdominal cavity to accommodate the intestinal contents. A Silastic (plastic) pouch is placed over the abdominal contents to contain the bowel and aid in reduction until surgical closure is possible. When the abdominal contents have returned to the abdominal cavity with the aid of gravity, the opening is surgically closed. Returning the abdominal contents into the abdominal cavity can take up to ten days. The baby is usually on a breathing machine (or ventilator) during the time it takes for this return. Non-operative treatment involves the application of Silvadene cream to toughen the sac. Surgery is postponed in these cases for 6-12 months to allow the abdominal cavity to enlarge as the baby grows. If the omphalocele ruptures, this is a medical emergency and surgery would be performed immediately. Complications from omphalocele include infection, rupture and intestinal obstruction. less

A look at child labor in the early 20th century in the United States as represented through the photography of Lewis W. Hine. The film documents the use of child labor in industry, including the exploitation of children and the lower classes in American society. Many of the jobs were extremely dangerous and numerous children and adults were injured or killed in the attempt to advance in society. The viewer must understand the context of the situation at the time and think of the individuals from the perspective that it could be one of their ancestors, in order to fully grasp the emotion of the video. less
