摘要:

SummaryWith new micromethods it has been possible to determine in 0.6 ml serum the concentration of total and free cholesterol, phospholipids, and total lipids, and to perform electrophoretic separation of the protein fractions as well as of the various lipid fractions. Sera from blood of the umbilical cord and from capillary blood from 50 infants 1–6 days old were analysed. The cholesterol, the total lipids and the phospholipids increased 70–80 per cent during the first few days of life. The marked increase in the lipids in the serum after birth was ascribable above all to the striking increase in the β‐fraction, but also to the lipids in the fraction termed “chylomicrons”. The α1‐fraction showed a moderate but statistically significant increase. During the first few days of life the α‐ and β‐globulins showed a statistically significant increase while the γ‐globulin showed a statistically significant decrease. The albumin fraction did no

摘要:

SummaryDuring the past 70 years, schoolboys in Stockholm have increased about 15 cm in height and about 12 kg in weight, while the increase in height of the adult population is scarcely half as great. No relation between family income and the weight of the boys could be shown. A slight connection between the income and increase in height cannot be ruled out. A significant correlation is to be found between height and social class. The probable reasons for this are discussed. Some relevant research problems, deemed to be of a particular interest, are briefly outlined.

摘要:

1State Institute of Public Health, Serodiagnostic Department (Chief: OTTO HAKTMANN, M.D.), Oslo, NorwaySummarySummarySelective filtration of syphilitic reagins through the placenta is studied. Three serologic tests for syphilis performed on the serum from 107 newborn infants are compared with the same tests on the serum from their mothers prior to delivery. Meinicke's clarification reaction (MKR) was negative in the serum from all 107 infants, even where the serum reagin titre of the mother was high at the time of delivery, and the other tests were positive in the serum of the infant. It is concluded that MKR is not suitable for the detection of syphilitic reagins in the serum from newborn infants, because the reaction is always negative.

摘要:

SummaryNo harmful effect of BCG vaccination has been found in the present group of 17 cases of bone and joint tuberculosis occurring in adequately vaccinated subjects. In these cases the disease has taken a mild course; however, the number is too small to permit of any definite conclusions. In only 2 of the cases a strong exposure had occurred, in the others only a slight one, or exposure was not detected.

摘要:

ZusammenfassungBei 54 Enuretikern wurde eine EEG‐Untersuchung gemacht. Dreizehn von den Kindern hatten früher “Anfälle” gehabt. In etwa 70% der Fälle wurden ausgeprägte paroxysmale oder epileptische Veränderungen gefunden. Nur in 11 Fällen war der EEG‐Befund als normal zu beurteilen. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, daß Störungen der zerebralen Kontrolle einen wichtigen Faktor in der Pathogenese der Enur

摘要:

SummaryThe effect of penicillin on immunity following scarlatina has been investigated. Comparative studies were made of the incidence of second attacks in Stockholm during the pre‐penicillin period 1938–46 and during the penicillin period 1947–51. Parallel series in addition comprised treated and untreated cases.Early second attacks, or relapses, in hospital diminished considerably due to the lesser risk of cross‐infections. The frequency of early second attacks within the first three months of recovery was, however, as great as previously. Apart from the possibility of impaired immunologic conditions during this first period, the factors governing the recurrence of attack at this stage are nowadays the risk of infection from the home environment and also, to some degree, the lack of intensity in treatment. A reduction in the early second attacks should be obtainable as a result of effective treatment and after‐control of the patients and of eradication of bacteria from the environment.As regards the late second attacks (after three months) the frequency was many times higher in 0–14 year‐old children who had been treated with penicillin than in the untreated. With increase in age, moreover, the relative frequency of second attacks rose still more. The interval between attacks was much shorter than in the pre‐penicillin period. There was thus a marked deterioration in immunity, which was all the more pronounced as the children grew older.It proved probable that the risk of a new attack of scarlatina could be diminished by postponement of treatment. This is in agreement with the observation that second attacks among penicillin‐treated desquamation cases are very much less numerous than among treated cases of scarlatina.The value of penicillin in the treatment of scarlatina is so great that its use should be continued. The tendency to second attacks, even recurring attacks, is on the other hand so considerable, at least in built‐up areas, that a modification in the treatment should be introduced. Postponed treatment can be adopted in all cases in children except those exhibiting markedly toxic symptoms or pur

摘要:

SummaryAn infant of 2 months exhibited aneanaemia, combined with a hyperplastic reaction of the erythropoietic organs. Nucleated red blood cells were found in the peripheral blood but no reticulocytosis. The spleen was enlarged. In spite of the hyperplasia of the erythropoietic organs no sign of increased erythropoiesis could ever be found. The nucleated red cells showed signs of disturbance in the normal course of maturation, mainly evidenced by a persistent basophilia of the cytoplasm and by severe malformations of the nucleus in a later stage of maturation. No antianaemic agents had any effect on the anaemia and the infant was kept alive by repeated, continuous blood transfusions. He was also given a course of ACTH with apparent good effect. Splenectomy was performed when the child was in good condition after a course of ACTH and continuous transfusion. After this the child was temporarily in comparatively good health but in no better condition than when receiving continuous blood transfusions. The illness lasted for one year and five months after the child was admitted to hospital the first time, and ended with his death.
