摘要:

SUMMARYTwo patients, brother and sister, suffering from congenital afibrinogenemia are reported. This condition has previously not been described from Scandinavia. Both suffered from severe umbilical hemorrhage soon after birth and a continuing bleeding tendency. The diagnosis has been proved by coagulation tests and immunoelectrophoretic fibrinogen determinations. The hereditary nature of the disease is briefly discussed. Plasma fibrinogen estimations were made on 17 relatives but this failed to demonstrate any heterozygous carriers within the group.

摘要:

SUMMARYTwo hundred and forty‐two Israeli boys aged from 9 to 16 years were examined for the presence of secondary sexual characters. It was found that boys born to parents originating from Israel or other Mid‐Eastern countries are sexually mature earlier than boys born to parents who immigrated from Europe during the last 20 ye

摘要:

SUMMARYThe bone marrow of 45 patients suffering from various infections and receiving chloramphenicol, was examined morphologically. Infection alone depressed erythropoiesis in 6 patients. Two patients developed depression of erythropoeiesis while receiving chloramphenicol. One patient developed erythroid hypoplasia ten days after chloramphenicol had been discontinued. Chloramphenicol used in therapeutic doses for a relatively short period of time, is not associated with a high incidence of bone marrow morphological abnormalities.

摘要:

SUMMARYTwenty‐three cases of hyperbilirubinemia in newborn babies were treated with exchange transfusions according to the method of Sanchez. Bacteriological samples were examined from the inner surface of the fresh cut end of the umbilical stump and from the part of the umbilical vein used in Sanchez's method. Growth was obtained in 16 cases from the stump and in three cases from the vei

摘要:

SUMMARYA clinical and pathologico‐anatomic syndrome resembling that occurring in offspring of diabetic and prediabetic mothers has been described in two overweight newborn sisters. Both patients had convulsions and died during the neonatal period. In one of them where blood glucose determinations were performed a marked hypoglycemia was diagnosed.Since the mother has given birth to quite normal infants between and after the diseased children and because of the fact that there is no evidence of a prediabetic state it is suggested that the syndrome has developed as a consequence of some other metabolic error. The fact that the parents are first cousins supports the supposition that the disease may be genetically determine

摘要:

SUMMARYFatal respiratory distress in children with a birth weight below 2000 g, brought about by rhinitis within the first two to three weeks of life, and in children with congenital nasal defects, has been treated with a simple mouth tube. This was found to overcome the children's inability to breathe through the mouth, thus relieving their exhausting respiratory efforts, without causing any serious complications even when used for periods of months.

SUMMARYA new case with diencephalic syndrome of emaciation is reported. The first symptoms occurred when the patient was 2 months old. Ventriculography demonstrated a probable tumour in the third ventricle. The patient is described and the findings shortly commented on.

摘要:

SUMMARYA case of generalized inclusion body disease in a newborn premature male infant is reported. The diagnosis is based on the clinical picture, the demonstration of typical cells in a biopsy from the parotid gland, and a positive antibody titer against salivary gland virus. This is the first patient from Scandinavia in whom the diagnosis has been made intra vitam and who has survived, although with cerebral damage. Several diagnostic features are discussed. Early treatment with corticosteroids is recommended.

摘要:

SUMMARYA case history of a boy born in breech presentation is reported together with the autopsy findings. In this case parturition had been uncomplicated. Throughout his seven months of life the boy had been marked by hypotonia of the lower extremities and of respiratory insufficiency. At autopsy a closed, almost transversal lesion of the cervical spinal cord was demonstrated, including progressive, degenerative processes and minor cortical injuries, all of which have probably developed simultaneously. The great value of a pathological‐anatomical examination of the spinal cord is emphasize
