摘要:

Perinatal and infant mortality rates have fallen dramatically in the developed world this century. A review of perinatal and infant mortality in Western Australia from 1970 to 1981 was undertaken, to examine trends in birthweight‐specific and cause‐specific rates. The predominant causes of death are now congenital malformation, stillbirth of unknown cause, preterm birth and cot death. Perinatal and infant mortality rates are unlikely to be reduced substantially until the reasons for these four causes of death are elucidated.

摘要:

A retrospective study of 92 jaundiced patients undergoing ultrasound examination was undertaken to assess the clinical utility of this test. The patients were graded according to the likelihood of biliary obstruction. In those in whom biliary obstruction was proven to be present, the sensitivity of ultrasound to detect the obstruction was 91 % and the test specificity was 100%. In patients who had undergone cholecystectomy no increase in the diameter of the common duct was observed. Liver function tests proved to be unreliable in discriminating between extrahepatic obstructive jaundice and other forms of jaundice. Ultrasound scanning is a useful screening test in the diagnosis of the jaundiced patient. However, follow‐up is suggested for those with a negative result of this test but in whom biliary obstruction is suspected. An approach to the investigation of the jaundiced patient should include early ultrasound examination in those with possible biliary obstruction.

摘要:

Eight children who presented to two Sydney children's hospitals in 1984 with the neurological complications of measles infection are described. Six of these children have either died or have serious residual neurological abnormalities. Experience in the United States indicates that such complications of measles can be virtually eliminated by a programme of compulsory immunization of pre‐school children.
