Causes of cerebral palsy:
1. Brain injury before, during, or shortly after birth
2. Infections during pregnancy
3. Lack of oxygen to the brain during birth
4. Genetic factors
5. Premature birth
Differences between Erb's palsy and Klumpke's palsy:
1. Erb's palsy affects the upper arm nerves (C5-C6), while Klumpke's palsy affects the lower arm nerves (C8-T1).
2. Erb's palsy typically results in weakness or paralysis of the shoulder and upper arm, while Klumpke's palsy affects the hand and lower arm.
3. Erb's palsy is more common and often caused by birth trauma, while Klumpke's palsy is rarer and can be caused by a variety of factors including birth trauma, tumors, or nerve damage.
Patent ductus arteriosus is a congenital heart defect where a blood vessel called the ductus arteriosus, which is supposed to close shortly after birth, remains open. This can cause abnormal blood flow between the aorta and pulmonary artery.
Causes of congestive heart failure:
1. Coronary artery disease
2. High blood pressure
3. Heart valve disease
4. Cardiomyopathy
5. Congenital heart defects
6. Infections such as myocarditis

5 Causes of Cerebral Palsy
1. Prematurity
2. Birth asphyxia (lack of oxygen during birth)
3. Fetal stroke
4. Kernicterus (bilirubin buildup in the brain)
5. Infections during pregnancy or birth
3 Differences Between Erb's Palsy and Klumpke's Palsy
| Feature | Erb's Palsy | Klumpke's Palsy |
|---|---|---|
| Affected nerves | C5-C6 | C8-T1 |
| Muscle weakness | Outer arm, shoulder, and elbow | Inner arm, hand, and wrist |
| Hand position | Outward-turned (pronation) | Inward-turned (claw hand) |
Definition of Patent Ductus Arteriosus
Patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) is a heart defect present at birth in which the fetal connection between the aorta and pulmonary artery, called the ductus arteriosus, fails to close after birth. This allows oxygenated blood to flow from the aorta back into the pulmonary artery and lungs, causing increased blood flow to the lungs and potentially leading to heart failure.
6 Causes of Congestive Heart Failure
1. Coronary artery disease
2. High blood pressure
3. Heart valve disease
4. Heart muscle disease (cardiomyopathy)
5. Diabetes
6. Obesity
