LEUNG, M.B.B.S., University of Calgary Faculty of Medicine, Alberta, Canada KA WAH CHAN, M.B.B.S., University of Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer Center, Houston, Texas Purpura is the result of hemorrhage into the skin or mucosal membrane. It may represent a relatively benign condition or herald the presence of a serious underlying disorder. Purpura may be secondary to thrombocytopenia, platelet dysfunction, coagulation factor deficiency or vascular defect. Investigation to confirm a diagnosis or to seek reassurance is important. Frequently, the diagnosis can be established on the basis of a careful history and physical examination, and a few key laboratory tests. Indicated tests include a complete blood cell count with platelet count, a peripheral blood smear, and prothrombin and activated partial thromboplastin times. (Am Fam Physician 2001;64:419-28.)

TAR Syndrome Support Group Little Wings Whatfield Road Elmsett Ipswich Tel: 01473 657535 Web: www.ivh.se/TAR Best time to telephone: 8.00pm - 9.00pm, Monday - Friday TAR Syndrome (Thrombocytopenia with absent radii) is a rare disorder characterised by a reduction of the number of platelets in the blood and bilateral absence of the radii (forearm bones). The TAR Syndrome Support Group is a small, parent-led group with limited funds. The aims of the group are as follows. To offer support to families affected by TAR Syndrome. To raise awareness of TAR Syndrome with professionals and other interested individuals. To link families in similar situations and areas. To give new families hope for their children's future through the shared experiences of older children in the group. To share information on equipment, benefits, relevant support organisations etc. To support families through increasing public awareness of TAR Syndrome by raising funds, organising events and publishing literature. The group's lively website gives information on the syndrome, news of the group and its activities, details of support and links to other organisations. The Group publishes an annual newsletter and leaflets including: What is a blood platelet?, Heart Defects and TAR Syndrome

TAR Syndrome Synonyms: Thrombocytopenia with absent Radius Syndrome, Tetraphocomelia-thrombocytopenia syndrome Rare autosomal recessive condition. Thrombocytopenia presents early but is usually transient. Neonatal death rate is ~40%. Presentation - neonatally with developmental abnormalities which may include: Head and neck - Intracranial bleed ±mental retardation, cerebellar hypoplasia, brachycephaly, micrognathia, squint ptosis , small upturned nose, naevus flammeus on forehead. Upper limb abnormalities: Bilateral absence of radii, hypoplasia or absence of ulna (may be bilateral), abnormal humerus, carpal bone hypoplasia or fusion, hypoplastic phalanges (but thumbs always present) Abdomen: Pancreatic cysts, Meckel's diverticulum Spine and pelvis: Spina bifida ±delayed motor development, hip dislocation, coxa valga Lower limb anomalies (47%): Knee subluxation, patella dislocation, femoral or tibial torsion, fibula may be absent.

Skeleton Handbook of Fetal Abnormalities Algorithms Appendix SKELETON Normal Sonography Anatomy Skeletal Anomalies Osteochondrodysplasias Limb Deficiency or Congenital Amputations ... Authors Normal Sonography Anatomy Limb buds are first seen by ultrasound at about the 8th week of gestation; the femur and humerus are seen from 9 weeks, the tibia/fibula and radius/ulna from 10 weeks and the digits of the hands and the feet from 11 weeks. All long bones are consistently seen from 11 weeks. Body movements (wiggling) are seen at 9 weeks and, by 11 weeks, limbs move about readily. The lengths of the humerus, radius/ulna, femur and tibia/fibula are similar and increase linearly with gestation. At the 18–23-week scan, the three segments of each extremity should be visualized, but it is only necessary to measure the length of one femur.  The relationship of leg and foot should also be assessed to rule out clubfoot. Clubfoot - 2D Ultrasound Clubfoot - 3D Ultrasound (rendering mode) SKELETAL ANOMALIES Prevalence Skeletal dysplasia is found in about 1 per 4000 births; about 25% of affected fetuses are stillborn and about 30% die in the neonatal period. The birth prevalences of the most common dysplasias are shown in the Table on the next page.

MEDICAL DICTIONARY Click on the alphabet and there you go! A B C D ... Z T: T-cell: A white blood cell made in the thymus gland, a lymphoid structure in the upper chest. (The T in T-cell stands for Thymus). The T-cells coordinate the immune system by secreting lymphokine hormones. There are 3 fundamentally different types of T cells : helper, killer, and suppressor. Each has many subdivisions. T-cells are also called T lymphocytes. Triiodothyronine, a thyroid hormone. (The number 3 is usually in subscript.) Thyroid hormones are essential for the function of every cell in the body. They help regulate growth and the rate of chemical reactions (metabolism) in the body. Thyroxine, a thyroid hormone. (The number 4 is usually in subscript.) Thyroid hormones are essential for the function of every cell in the body. They help regulate growth and the rate of chemical reactions (metabolism) in the body. T4 cell: Immune cells that are triggered by antibodies to seek and attack invading organisms. Cells called macrophanges summon T4 cells to the site of the infection and present a protruding antigen onto which the T4 cell locks, thus "recognizing" the invading substance. The T4 cell then reproduces and secretes its potent lymphokine hormones that stimulate B-cell production of antibodies; signal "natural killer" or cytotoxic (cell-killing) T-cells; and summon more macrophanges to the site of the infection. T4 cells are normally twice as common as T8 cells. If a person has AIDS, the proportion of T4 to T8 cells is often reversed. T4 cell are also called T-helper cells.

TVAC's Position Regarding the Return of Thalidomide Malformations Caused By Thalidomide PHOCOMELIA is the limb malformation most commonly associated with Thalidomide. 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: Missing or malformed limbs (bilateral) No ears or deafness Missing or extra fingers or toes Partial or total loss of sight Improper formation of the heart, kidney and other internal organs

TVAC's Position Regarding the Return of Thalidomide THALIDOMIDE Did Not Cause All Birth Defects by Randolph Warren, CEO August 16, 1999 With the rehabilitation of thalidomide (new use and licensing) and as a result, the attention given the drug and victims by the media, it becomes important to revisit the past and discuss just what is a thalidomide victim. Some mothers truly believed they had exposure to thalidomide during pregnancy they remembered taking a pill or being given something . Families faced with the shock of children being born with limb defects and/or other deformities, compounded with the media frenzy surrounding thalidomide, naturally, made a connection between the defects and the widely available drug. This just wasn’t always true. It is known "that 2 to 3% of all babies born have significant birth defects, and while thalidomide consumption was widespread in 1960 to 1961, some mothers who undoubtedly took the drug when pregnant (though probably outside the sensitive period) gave birth to babies with defects quite unrelated to thalidomide. It is also possible for a baby exposed to thalidomide during the sensitive period to be born with a variety of defects, of which some, but not all, are drug induced." Good evidence of misdiagnosis exists in the cases of those
