What Tanner Stage does Menarche begin?Tanner 3 or 4, OR within 2-3 years of pubertyWhen/what is peak height velocity for females?Tanner 3, about 8-10 cm/yrWhen do you expect pubertal gynecomastia? How long will it last?50% of boys between 10-16 will have it, will resolve in 3 yearsIs vaginal bleeding before Tanner 3 normal?NoWhat is pre-pubertal basal rate for height growth?5-6cm per year. Peak is ~10cm per year. Earlier puberty results in shorter heightWhat is the order of puberty in females?Thelarche --> Adrenarche --> Menarche
aka
Breasts --> Hair --> MensesWhat is the order of puberty in males?Testicular enlargement --> Adrenarche --> Penis enlargement, THEN height velocity peaksWhat are the roles of estrogen/androgens in puberty?Estrogen: Breast development, vaginal color change, labial prominence
Androgens: Pubic hair developmentWhat do you do if someone presents with premature adrenarche (pubic hair with no breasts/no testicular enlargement)?Get bone age films. Ok to observe if within 1-2 years of chronological ageWhat syndrome should you be thinking of in females with no breasts, scant hair, and no menses?Turners, get karyotypeHow do you differentiate Fibrocystic change and Fibroadenomas?Fibrocystic change: Bilateral, tender. Treat with NSAIDs, caffeine elimination
Fibroadenomas: Unilateral. Estrogen dependent (bigger with OCPs/Pregnancy).When does puberty start in females?8-13When does puberty start in males?9-14Is premature adrenarche in females concerning? Males?Common in girls. VERY concerning in males. If they are in premature adrenarche, consider Congential Adrenal Hyperplasia over adrenal tumor on test.What does "Tropic" refer to?Central hormones. For example, Hypergonadotropic refers to an excess of central hormonesIs premature thelarce concerning?No. Can occur/mostly occurs around 2 years of age. Can be unilateral or bilateral. As long as its not associated with other secondary sex characteristics, OK to observe.
If there are other secondary sex characteristics, look for excess estrogens from an exogenous source.Why should a prolactinoma be on your differential for delayed puberty? What will you see on LH/FSH testing?Prolactin suppressed GnRH secretion, will be associated with low LH and FSH levels.What syndrome is associated with Hypogonadotropic Hypogonadism?Kallman's, especially if anosmicDoes Turner's Syndrome result in Hypo or Hyper gonadotropic ovarian failure?Hyper. The TROPINS are elevated because the patient has no real ovaries to provide hormones and negative feedback.How do you differentiate between Constitutional Growth Delay and GH deficiency?Constitutional Delay: normal velocity on growth chart line, just in the 3-5th percentile. Will eventually catch up.
GH Deficiency: Not normal velocity, will cross lines on growth chart (will also have micropenis or clitoris with hypoglycemia, possibly manifesting as seizures)What endocrine/pubertal condition should you consider when presenting with short + overweight + delayed bone age + constipation + dry skin?HypothyroidismWhat endocrine/pubertal condition should you consider when presenting with hyperandrogenism, premature closure of growth plates, with early puberty with accelerated growth but a short final height?CAHHow does Klinefelter's (XXY) present?TALL stature, gynecomastia, small testes, infertility, normal IQ to mild intellectual disability.What is the chromosomal makeup of Klinefelter's?XXYHow does Marfan's present?TALL stature, long and thin extremities, long fingers, pectus deformity, hypermobility, and mitral valve prolapse/aortic dissection risk. Also can have lense subluxation.What is the cardiac deformity associated with Marfan's?Mitral Valve Prolapse, Aortic Dissection
MVP = Michael Phelps of 2008 OlympicsWhat direction is the lens subluxation in Marfan's?SuperiorIf the patient is tall, is it Cushing's?NoWhat is the characteristic growth chart pattern with malabsorptive disorders?Initial decline in weight, THEN a deceleration of height or length. This suggests caloric insufficiency.What should you consider if you see a drop in weight without a drop in height (yet)?SEVERE underlying disorders. Consider GI workup (celiac/malabsorption), renal, metabolic disordersWhat system should you be thinking of if height/weight are falling on the curves with a preservation of head circumference?Endocrine.When does menarche occur?Tanner 3-4What does LH yield? FHS?LH --> Progesterone
FSH --> Estrogen (which is for breast development)What is the first step in Amenorrhea testing?HCGAfter an HCG, how do you work up Amenorrhea?Remember that
LH --> Progesterone
FSH --> Estrogen (which is for breast development)
First step is to do PROGESTERONE challenge. This should make the patient bleed within 2 weeks.When working up Amenorrhea, how do you interpret a positive Progesterone challenge? (Positive = they bled after given progesterone)Remember that
LH --> Progesterone
FSH --> Estrogen (which is for breast development)
If PROGESTERONE triggers bleeding, it means there is plenty of ESTROGEN, but low progesterone. Get an LH to investigate.
High LH level = PCOS
Low LH level= Get Prolactin and TSH to rule out Prolactinoma and HypothyroidWhen working up Amenorrhea, how do you interpret a negative Progesterone challenge? (Negative = they did NOT bledd after given progesterone)Remember that
LH --> Progesterone
FSH --> Estrogen (which is for breast development)
If Negative, not enough ESTROGEN. Get an FSH to investigate further
High FSH = Consider Ovarian Failure (Turner's, autoimmune disorder, chemo, menopause)
Low FSH = Central Problem (Mass, Prolactinoma, Craniopharyngioma, Hypothyroid)When is workup for primary amenorrhea indicated?-Puberty ended 2 years ago (when they are Tanner 5)
-Patient is 13 and lacks secondary sex characteristics
-Normal growth and secondary sex characteristics with SMR 2-5 pubic hair and breast development, but now is 15 with no mensesWhat is normal during the first two years of menstruation? Abnormal?Normal: Frequent cycles, cycles lasting 2-3 days
Abnormal: Cycles lasting >7 days, cycle frequency outside 24-38 daysCan marijuana use cause galactorrhea?Yes, even in boysWhen should a Pap Smear be performed? How frequently?Start at 21 years of age, get one every 3 years if you're between 21 and 30.Which strains of HPV are the most commonly associated with cervical cancer?16 and 18Condyloma Acuminata vs. Condyloma LataAcuminata: hpV (imagine "A" flipped over)
Lata: shyphiLis (track the "L"'s"What are some clinical and lab findings of exogenous anabolic steroid use?Girls start to look/sound like boys, and vice versa.
Labs: Liver dysfunction, low HDL, high LDL, emotional lability, HTNWhat will your acid/base status be with eating disorders?HypOkalemic, hypOchloremic metabolic ALKalosis

Hydro/Spermatocele transilluminate
Varicocele is usually on L sideDefine
Thyroglobulin
Thyroxine-Binding Globulin
Thyroxine
Free T4Thyroglobulin: Protein ONLY in thyroid. Used to make thyroid hormones
Thyroxine-Binding Globulin: Carries thyroid hormones in blood
Thyroxine/T4: Hormone bound to TBG (above), inactive
Free T4: ACTIVE hormone in bloodWhat are the symptoms of Congenital Hypothyroidism?Puffiness, large tongue, hoarse cry, umbilical hernia, hypotonia, large fontanelle, constipation, mottlingHow do you screen for congenital hypothyroidism?TSH (in utero some of mom's thyroxine crosses the placenta)Symptoms and Labs of Hashimoto's ThyroiditisLabs: +anti TPO or +antithyroglobulin, Low FT4, elevated TSH
Symptoms: painless goiter/thyromegalyWill reactive iodine uptake in Hashimoto's be high or low?Low
"The thyroid is being destroyed, how can it take up any iodine?"If TSH is abnormal on the newborn screen, what should you do?Start Levothyroxine NOW and get labs. Shoot first, ask questions later because of the tremendous cognitive delays it can cause if therapy not started within 4 weeks.How should you manage thyroglossal duct cysts?They can get infected pretty easily, so if thyroid is intact, these should be removed.If a patient has symptoms that could be suggestive of Neonatal Thyrotoxicosis vs an Inborn Error of Metabolism, how can you distinguish the two?Age of onset. Inborn errors of metabolism will not be present in the immediate newborn period. Neonatal Grave's will be immediately because of placental cross.What does Hypercalcemia do to the ST segment/QT interval?Shortens bothWhat is the initial treatment for hypercalcemia?IV Hydration, due to the osmotic diuresis caused by excretion of calcium.What electrolyte abnormality will you see with William's Syndrome?HypercalcemiaDoes hyperparathyroidism cause hypo or hypercalcemia?HypercalcemiaWhat are the symptoms associated with Hypercalcemia?Bones: Osteoporosis, osteomalacia, pathologic fractures, osteitis fibrosis

High PhosphorusWhat are the lab findings and physical exam features in patients with Pseudohypoparathyroidism?Autosomal Dominant disorder in which receptors are resistant to PTH. Serum PTH will be high, but Calcium will be low with High Phos.
Look for brachydactyly (short and stubby fingers/toes), developmental delay, moon faciesWhat is the relationship between 25-Vitamin D and 1, 25 Vitamin D? When should you check each?Liver sends 25-Vitamin D to the kidneys, where it gets hydroxylated to the 1, 25 Vitamin D. (Think 2 numbers, 2 kidneys)
1, 25 Vitamin D is ACTIVE
Check 25 if looking for nutritional deficiency or as a screening
Check 1, 25 if given a history of renal diseaseDo you supplement with 25 or 1, 25 Vitamin D?1, 25 Vitamin D
THIS IS THE ACTIVE FORMWhat is the inheritance of Familial Hypophosphatemic Rickets? How do you treat? What labs will you see?X-Linked Dominant
Defect of phosphate reabsorption in the proximal tubule AND a defect of the kidney to convert 25-Vit D to 1, 25 Vit D.
Treat with oral phosphate and avoid hypocalcemia by giving Vitamin D 1, 25.
Labs: Normal Calcium, Low Phos, High Alk Phos, normal Vitamin D 25, normal PTH (since calcium is normal)Are ACTH levels high or low in Addison's?HIGH ACTHAre Addison's patients Aldosterone sufficient or insufficient? What effect does this have on electrolytes?Insufficient. Aldosterone is responsible for retaining Sodium and excreting K, so they will have hyperkalemia and hyponatremia.What will happen during a Cosyntropin test in a patient with Addison's?There will NOT be a normal rise in Cortisol since these patients are Adrenal insufficient.In a patient with secondary Adrenal insufficiency what will happen during a Cosyntropin Test?There WILL be an appropriate cortisol responseIn a patient with primary Adrenal insufficiency, there IS hyperkalemia and hyponatremia, why is this not the case in secondary adrenal insufficiency?The Renin-Agniotensin system is intact since the adrenal glands are normal and aldosterone is being producedWhat is the treatment difference between Primary and Secondary Adrenal Insufficiency?Primary: Bad Adrenals means you need Hydrocortisone (to replace Cortisol) and Fludrocortisone (to replace Aldosterone)
Secondary: Just fludrocortisone since aldosterone is still produced by an intact R-A system.What are the symptoms and treatment for acute adrenal crisis?Nausea, Vomiting, Malaise, HyperK, Hyponatremia
Treat with Saline, Glucose, IV HydrocortisoneWhat does Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia cause a build up of? Lack of?Note: think of CAH as 21-Hydroxylase Deficiency (not 11-Hydroxylase deficiency)
Build up: Androgens
Lack of: Cortisol AND AldosteroneWhen screening for CAH on the NBS, what will be elevated?17-hydroxyprogesteroneHow does CAH present?Newborns will show abnormal electrolytes with shock like symptoms that resemble sepsis.
Boys will have hyperpigmented scrotums from elevated ACTH being released from the Pituitary.
Females will have ambiguous genitaliaWhat is the treatment for CAH?Hydrocrotisone (to replace cortisol)
AND
Fludrocortisone (to replace aldosterone)
Note: this is just like treatment of primary adrenal insufficiency (just like Addison's)Is CAH more likely to be on your differential for girls or boys at birth?Girls, since they will present with ambiguous genitalia (due to the build up of androgens). Males will have normal genitalia since they are already boys!What are the layers of the adrenal and which hormones do they secrete?Glomerulosa: Aldosterone (salty)
Fasciculata: Cortisol/Glucocorticoids (sweet)
Reticularlis: Sex hormones (sweet and sexy)Does 21 or 11-Hydroxylase deficiency have hypertension?11-Hydroxylase Deficiency
This means if a patient has symptoms/labs consistent with CAH and ALSO has HTN, it is 11-Hydroxylase deficiencyWhat are the cardiac associations with Turner Syndrome?Bicuspid aortic valve and aortic coarctationDo patients with Turner syndrome have a uterus?YESWhat type of hypogonadism do Turners patients have? Will the FSH be high or low? Why?HYPERgonadotropic Hypogonadism
Remember, they will have streak ovaries which means that FSH will be in overdrive trying to stimulate the ovaries. FSH will be high in Turners because of this!Will Klinefelter's have gynecomastia?YesIn severely symptomatic hypoglycemia, how much glucose should you administer?Infants/Young Children: 2cc/kg of D10 (max of 500cc which is 50g of Dextrose)
Adolescents: 0.5-1 ampule of D50 (12.5-25 grams of dextrose)
% Solutions refer to grams/100cc, for example D50 refers to 50 grams of dextrose per 100cc of water. So 50cc ampule of D50 contains 25 grams of dextroseWhat are some key differences between DKA and HHS?HHS will have minimal acidosis and do NOT require early insulin administration since there is minimal ketosis. Can treat with IV hydration alone.What are the absolute and relative contraindications to OCPs?Absolute: Pregnancy, liver disease, hyperlipidemia, breast cancers, and breastfeeding <6 weeks
Relative: HTNWhen is AFP screening offered? What kinds of conditions will have High vs. Low AFP levels? Next steps?16 weeks
If AFP is elevated, there is likely some sort of defect in which the baby's skin is broken (neural tube defect, gastroschisis, abd wall defects, fetal demise, renal anomalies)
If low, associated with Down Syndrome (low AFP = down)
Next steps: fetal US, if negative get amniocentesis to get amniotic AFP levelsWhat and when is Chorionic Villus Sampling (CVS)?Fetal karyotype at 12 weeks
Early detection for genetic abnormalities, NOT for neural tube defect concerns.
"CHROMOSOMIC" Villus Sampling. Standing outside CVS at midnight, throwing a dozen eggs at CVS in anger.What/when is an Amniocentesis performed?May be performed at 12 weeks for high suspicion or concern.
Can be for BOTH Chromosomic AND Neural Tube defects.What is the pattern of tests on the maternal serum triple/quadruple screen that you would see in Down Syndrome?LOW AFP: Low = Down
Low Unconjugated EstrioL = "estrioLOW"
High HCG subunit
High inhibit AWhat is Lymphogranuloma Venereum caused by? Symptoms? Treatment?Caused by Chlamydia (usually in the tropics)
Starts with small, nontender papules or shallow ulcers that resolve. Then present with tender inguinal lymph nodes that can rupture and drain for months.What is the treatment for Chylamyia Conjunctivits?ORAL Erythromycin (to eradicate nasopharyngeal colonization, which can lead to PNA)Do you co-treat with Gonorrhea or Chlamydial infections?Gonorrhea (CTX x1, Azithro x1)
(this is because Chylamydia is more common, therefore you should just treat it as well)Strawberry cervix is a classic sign for what?Trichomonas Vaginalis
Will also have yellow-green discharge, bubbly, frothy, motile flagella with a pH >4.5 (like Gardernella)Is vaginal discharge at birth normal?Yes. If its just pink or white, then its normal.
If it is overt bleeding with petechiae, consider Vitamin K deficiencyWhat is the presentation of C1 Esterase deficiency?Recurrent episodes of swelling/edema, and abdominal pain WITHOUT pruritis.Is Milk Protein Allergy IgE mediated? What are the symptoms and treatment?YES, it is IgE mediated (just like a peanut allergy, but with milk. You CAN get anaphylaxis)
Can have GI symptoms (vomiting, diarrhea, GI bleeding) and extraintestinal symptoms
Treatment: Hydrolyzed milk (NOT Soy due to some cross-reactivity), also asking mother to discontinue ingestion of milk products.Both Food Protein Induced Enteropathy and Food Protein Induced Colitis are NON-IgE mediated processes. How else are they similar/different? Symptoms?BOTH NOT IgE MEDIATED
Both have symptoms when exposed to whole formula protein or if breastfeeding moms have high whole protein. Clears are fine.
ENTEROPATHY will have failure to thrive. COLITIS will have bloody stools without FTT.
Both are treated with hydrolyzed formula and maturing of the GI tractWhat age is Lactose Intolerance unlikely? What are symptoms?Unlikely <5
Diarrhea +/- abdominal pain
CONSIDER SOMETHING ELSE if stool is malodorus has food particles, has emesis, or rash.What are the 4 types of hypersensitivity reactions?1 = A = Anaphylactic (IgE)
2 = B = antiBody = humoral
3= C = immune Complex

Glycogen Storage Disease can have ketonuria
Fatty Acid Oxidation Disorders CANNOT have ketonuriaTrisomy 13 and 18 both can have similar congenital anomalies (rocker bottom feet, clenched hands, etc). How can you differentiate the two?Trisomy 13 will also have aplasia cutis and midline defects*PBR Mnemonic*
Bruton's Agammaglobulinemia, does it have lymphadenopathy? What about PCP risk?No LAD, no PCP PNA risk
"Use BRUT aftershave so you can have a smooth face and neck. Imagine a masculine man using BRUT aftershave. He has a smooth face, but also just cut himself bleeding. He's bleeding but can't see a doctor because he doesn't have a PCP"*PBR Mnemonic*

"You can SCID across SMOOTH surfaces"
Just know it has PCP risk*PBR Mnemonic*
Which of the following have PCP PNA risk?
Bruton's
SCID
Hyper IgMSCID and Hyper IgM
"Imagine a HYPER naked preschooler running all over the gravel yard. He's being chased by a teacher when he SCIDS. He does a running split and destroys his NADS/NODES. Mom has to come take him to his PCP to get him checked out. Destruction of NADS represents lack of NODES.What kind of deficiency is seen in SCID? What is the hallmark lab finding?COMBINED T&B cell deficiency
Hallmark lab finding is lymphopeniaDo SCID patients have lymphadenopathy? What about a thymus?No LAD
Yes Thymus (presence of Thymus means they can get a BMT!)Can SCID patients receive live vaccines?NOWhat kind of deficiency is seen in Wiskott Aldrich? (aka wiXotT ostrich)COMBINED T&B Cell deficiencyWhat is the inheritance of Wiskott Aldrich? (aka wiXotT ostrich)X-Linked, only males can get it!What is the classic triad of Wiskott Aldrich (aka wiXotT ostrich)?Small Thrombocytes, frequent Infections, and Eczema

E represents eczema
Mirrored W = M, and shows that IgM is low.
Duplicate A with arrow shows that IgA is highDo Wiskott Aldrich and SCID have lymphadenopathy/nodes?NO
Remember the Skidding Ostrich have no NADS/NODESWhat kind of deficiency is seen in DiGeorge Syndrome?Due to an aplastic/absent Thymus, there may not be any T-Cells. If there are no T-Cells, antigens are not being presented to B-Cells, so they are unable to make antibodies.
This results in similar infections to SCID because its essentially a combined T&B cell disorderWill a BMT help in DiGeorge?No, because there is no ThymusWhich organ is required for BMT? Do patients with SCID, Wiskott Aldridge, and DiGeorge have a Thymus?SCID: Yes
Wiskott Aldrich: Yes

Can also have T-cell membrane defectsWhat are the symptoms of Common Variable Immune Deficiency (CVID)?Recurrent upper and lower respiratory tract infections
Recurrent Herpes/Zoster infectionsWhat is the treatment of Common Variable Immune Deficiency (CVID)?IVIG, in an effort to raise the patient's level of antibodies to "normal"What is the deficiency in Hyper IgM syndrome? What will you see in labs?IgM does not switch to IgG due to missing signal from T-cells to B-cells.
There will be LymphoCYTOSIS and Neutropenia. This is because lymphocytes are in overdrive trying to release more IgM to compensate for no other Igs. THe neutropenia is RELATIVE given the high amount of lymphocytes.
Note: this is a T cell abnormality (because the T cell should be priming the signal), but results in a functional B cell deficiency.What age does SCID present?Closer to 3 months of ageWhen do B-Cell deficiencies generally present?Around 6 months of age (around the same age when mother's immunoglobulins/antibodies between to wane)What kind of pathogens are generally implicated in infections of B-Cell immunodeficiencies?Bacterial/Encapsulated organisms (H. flu, Neisseria, Strep, Klebsiella, Salmonella, Cryptococcus, Pseudomonas)
Note: there are not as many viral or fungal infections seen in comparison to T-cell deficienciesWhat is the inheritance of Bruton's Agammaglobulinemia?X-Linked
Seen in BOYS (remember BRUT aftershave?)
Also B cell deficientWhen does Bruton Agammaglobulinemia usually present?6 months, because it is B-Cell deficiency (when maternal Ig wane)What kind of deficiency is Bruton Agammaglobulinemia?B-Cell DeficiencyAre you at risk for PCP PNA if you have Bruton Agammaglobulinemia?NO
Remember BRUT aftershave man does NOT have a PCPIs complement intact in Bruton Agammaglobulinemia?Yes. This will often be compared to C1-C4 Complement deficiency, which will present similarly but with low complementWhat kinds of infections do patients with IgA deficiency get?Sinopulmonary infectionsWhat is the inheritance of Hyper IgE syndrome?Autosomal DominantWhat is the defect in Hyper IgE syndrome?High IgE levels and impaired neutrophil chemotaxisWhat is the triad/symptoms of Hyper IgE syndrome?Eosinophilia + Eczema (first week of life is possible!) + Elevated levels of IgE
Can also have recurrent sinopulmonary ifections with "cold" Staph infections (cold because of no neutrophil chemotaxis)
Can also have delayed shedding of primary dentition
tEEEth and say Hyper IgEEEEEEEEE*PBR mnemonic*

Imagine you are at a circus and they ask for a personal item. You hand them a compliment card you plan to mail to your favorite restaurant. Its in an envelope with a STRIPED POSTAGE STAMP on it. In a magician's hand it starts BURNING UP and flames are shooting off it. The Magician throws the card through a LOOPS OF FIRE at a CRYING GREEN GOBLIN that has two NIPPLE RINGS SHAPED LIKE C's. The goblin gets angry and becomes huge. He approaches the audience and stomps on a ground of visiting MEMBERS OF PARLIAMENT wearing gray wigs who were quietly watching the show. The only way to appease the green goblin is to keep giving him green M AND Ms until his CHEEKS/PAROTIDS are so full they are ready to pop.
Striped postage stamp = Post Strep Glomerulonephritis
Burning up = reminder that complement is decreased
Loop of Fire = Lupus

NEUTROphil disorder = NEUTROBLUE testWhat is the deficiency in Leukocyte Adhesion Deficiency? What will you see on labs? How do you diagnose?Adhesion defect results in neutrophils being unable to leave the vasculature to get to infected areas.
Leukocytosis (because all the neutrophils are in the blood still) with neutrophilia
Diagnose with Rebuck Skin Window or CD11/CD18 flow cytometryHow long will patients with Leukocyte Adhesion Deficiency live? What is curative?Will die by 1 months of age unless they get a bone marrow transplant.What is the defect in Chediak Higashi Syndrome?Neutropenia, poor neutrophil chemotaxis, and platele dysfunction.

S3 or 3rd heart sound that remains after changing positionsWhen during the cardiac cycle do Stenosis murmurs appear?MiddleWhen during the cardiac cycle do Regurgitation murmurs appear?BeginningWhat will you hear with a Mitral Valve Prolapse?Mid-systolic click
then
Mid-late systolic murmurWhat are the special characteristics of Mitral Valve Prolapse and Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy?Both murmurs INCREASE with standing or valsalva (aka, maneuvers that decrease preload (for MVP, this is because less preload means the chordae tendinae are more lax and have more room to snap, and in HCOM there is more snapping of the mitral valve against the hypertrophied septum)
Both DECREASE with squatting (because this increases preload more than it increased afterload)How can you differentiate between Mitral Valve Prolapse and Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy? (there are two ways)-Only MVP murmurs are preceded by a CLICK
-Hand grip maneuver increased MVP murmur and diminishes HOCM
*Mnemonic* think about the crowd getting loud for Justin Verlander when he hand grips the baseballHow do the following maneuvers effect preload/afterload?
Standing
Valsalva
Hand Grip
SquattingStanding/Valsalva: both decrease preload (decreased venous return to the heart/more pressure in chest cavity = less preload)
Hand Grip: increase afterload and preload (increased vascular resistance in arm does both)
Squatting: increase afterload and BIG increase in preloadWhat are the main murmurs of the right upper sternal border?Aortic StenosisWhat are the main murmurs of the left upper sternal border?Pulmonary Stenosis
