摘要:

SummaryThe article is based on a psychological examination of 58 obese children and their homes. The examination comprised interviews, intelligence‐ and Rorschach‐testing. Considerable emotional difficulties were found in 45 of the cases. In 16 cases a coincidence could be traced between specific traumatic events in the children's lives and the onset of adiposity. In 29 cases the dynamic relations between parents and child have caused difficulties in the emotional development of the children. In these cases obesity is regarded to be one of several symptoms of lack of emotional balance and of personal insecurity in the ch

摘要:

SummaryA series of 95 individuals (73 men and 22 women), between the ages of 25 and 45, has been questioned about possible familial occurrence of cong. pyl. sten. These individuals had all in infancy been treated medically for cong. pyl. sten. One hundred non‐selected hospitalized patients (77 men and 23 women) between the ages of 25 and 51 have been similarly questioned as controls.The 95 propositi with previous pyl. sten. have a total of 128 children, of whom 11 have had pyl. sten.j whereas there is only one child with the disease among the 145 children of the propositi in the control group.The propositi in the starting series have a total of 216 siblings, of whom nine have had cong. pyl. sten. In the control group the number of siblings is 319, of whom none have had the disease.In addition, there have been found eight cases among the remaining relatives of the propositi in the starting series, against one within the control group.The present investigation has, in other words, shown a considerable familial accumulation of the disease, and has thus borne out the theory that hereditary factors play a part in its occurrenc

摘要:

ZusammenfassungIn einer Gruppe von 172 normalen und gesunden Frühgeburten wurden 56 Fälle von Icterus gravis gefunden. Bei diesen war kein ABO‐ und Rh‐BIutgruppenanta‐gonismus nachzuweisen. Bei 33 trat klinisch ein Kernicterus auf, der bei 21 tötlich war. Vierzehn Fälle wurden obduziert. Die Diagnose wurde dabei bestätigt. Die Frühgeburten dieser Gruppe wurden alle in Sauerstoffzelten gepflegt. In den Zelten herrscht eine Sauerstoffkonzentration von 60 % im Mittel.In einer Vergleiehsgruppe von 139 normalen und gesunden Frühgeburten, ebenfalls ohne Blutgruppenantagonismus, wurden nur 7 Fälle von Icterus gravis und 1 Fall von Kernicterus, der übrigens tötlich verlief, gesehen. Diese Gruppe wurde ohne zusätzlichen Sauerstoff gepflegt.Es wird eine Hypothese entwickelt, die die hohe Sauerstoffkonzentration, die in den Sauerstoffzelten herrscht, für die Krankheitsbilder, die in diesem Artikel Icterus gravis und Kernicterus ohne Antagonismus genannt werden, verantwortlich maeht. Auf Grund der hohen Sauerstoffkonzentration tritt ein verstärkter Hämoglobinabbau auf, der bei der noch immaturen Leberfunktion zu einer starken Bilirubinämie führt. Das Bilirubin erreicht über die noch niedrige “barriere hemato‐encephalique” das Hirngewebe. Dort ruft es einen Kernicterus hervor.Diese Hypothese wird neben Statistiken noch durch

摘要:

SummaryThe authors review the radiological findings in 18 oases of fibrocystic disease of the pancreas. In five cases of meconium ileus the radiological picture was very suggestive as to the diagnosis. Later in life, the combination of a diffuse net‐like pattern in the lungs and an irregular intestinal pattern with segmentation was very characteristic of this disease, although each of these findings, taken separately, was inconclusive, as it might be caused by other disease

摘要:

Summary and ConclusionAmong 88 out of 100 surviving prematures with a birth weight of less than 2,000 g treated in the University Pediatric Clinic, Oslo, 1950–1953, 11 cases of retrolental fibroplasia were found, a total incidence of 13 per cent. Out of these 11 cases, 5 presented slight changes which left inconsiderable or slight residua, probably with no damage of vision; 4 presented severe changes which will probably affect the vision; and 2 became blind. No case of retrolental fibroplasia was seen among the prematures who had not been treated with oxygen. In 70 oxygen‐treated prematures, including 11 cases of retrolental fibroplasia, no relationship was found between the duration of oxygen treatment and the occurrence of retrolental fibroplasia except that no case of retrolental fibroplasia was seen when the duration of oxygen treatment was less than 14 days. The results of these examinations may suggest that treatment with oxygen is not the only etiological factor responsible for retrolental fibroplasia, for most of the prematures treated with oxygen did not develop the dise

摘要:

SummaryTwo cases of atypical congenital hemolytic anemia manifest in early infancy have been described. The children have been followed up until the age of almost two years. In both cases no hematological abnormalities could be found in the parents. Transfused normal cells had a shortened life span when measured according to the Ashby technique and the Coombs' test was negative.

摘要:

SummaryComparative galactose tolerance tests have been carried out in one patient suffering from galactosemia and in three patients suffering from hepatic lesions of varying etiology. The findings indicate that galactosemia is an independent primary disease, in causal relation to isolated enzyme deficiency in the liver.

摘要:

SummaryA case of idiopathic hypoparathyroidism with elevated intracranial pressure and epileptiform attacks is described. It concerns the case of a boy, six years old, that diagnostically answers to the criteria stipulated by DRAKE and others. The symptoms of the disease were brought under satisfactory control, and the pressure of the cerebrospinal fluid was normalized by large doses of vitamin D. By means of adequate therapy, the patient was free from symptoms for more than one year. One of the most striking features of the symptomatology of the present case were the changes in behavior. They were clearly correlated with the hypocalcemia. The cerebral symptoms are thought to be caused by cerebral edema.

摘要:

SummaryA brief preliminary report of studies concerning the level of cerebrospinal fluid bilirubin in the jaundiced newborn is presented. Results of determinations in 6 of the cases studied are reported. In these cases bilirubin was present in the spinal fluid within the first four days of life and was noted to be predominantly indirect‐reacting in type, with the exception of one case in which high direct serum and spinal fluid values were present in association with questionable “inspissated bile syndrome”. Cerebrospinal fluid levels, in general, varied directly with the serum bilirubin, though with obvious individual variations.Further and more extensive studies of this kind are in pro

摘要:

SummaryOf 1,330 infants specially examined at the Obstetric Clinic in Malmo, 12.0 per cent exhibited dry, macerated, wrinkled skin, particularly on the palms of the hands and the soles of the feet, brown pigmentation of the nails and umbilical cord, pronounced erythema of the external genitals, and dehydration. Of the children who were born more than 4 days after the calculated date, 20.3 per cent displayed the syndrome, while of those who were born earlier than 4 days before the calculated date, 3.2 per cent showed these symptoms. Of the 160 infants with the syndrome, 58.8 per cent were postmature by more than 4 days. Of those with pronounced symptoms, 73.0 per cent were postmature by more than 4 days. The prognosis for these children after the perinatal period was good.
