ABSTRACT.In a longitudinal study of 31 Down syndrome infants born in the Greater Brisbane area, characteristics of the babies and their families were collected. Such data as ages of mother and father, family size, parental stress, attitudes to “being told of the handicap”, developmental milestones and hearing assessment results are repor

摘要:

ABSTRACT.Twelve full‐term, healthy newborn infants had daily urinary β2 microglobulin, albumin and creatinine levels measured during the first five days of life.A marked elevation in urinary β2 microglobulin was demonstrated. There was a marked variation from day to day with a range of 20–11,000μg/l. The relatively steady creatinine and albumin excretion levels suggest there is a true increased excretion of β2 microglobulin in the neonatal period with a tendency for the excretion rate to rise during the first five days

摘要:

ABSTRACT.The fatty acid composition of the fats extracted from 27 infant formulae were examined in detail using gas chromatography. The results obtained enabled certain conclusions to be made. These include (1) confirmation that raw cow's milk and unmodified cow's milk preparations are low in essential fatty acids, (2) several of the formulae designed for normal infants contained fatty acids in different proportions to that found in breast milk, and (3) many of the ‘special’ formulae designed for use when certain specific metabolic or dietary intolerances exist were found to contain either an excess of certain fatty acids considered not beneficial to man such as lauric acid or insufficient essential fatty acid. It is concluded that there is a need for closer scrutiny of the composition of infant formu

摘要:

ABSTRACT.A simple method of obtaining duodenal juice in association with small bowel biopsy is described. A conventional adult feeding tube is attached to the semi‐stiff biopsy capsule tubing and carried into position by the capsule. This method enables several millilitres of duodenal fluid to be obtained in a few minutes and the biopsy to be taken with one intubatio

摘要:

ABSTRACT.We compared the use of a standard metered aerosol actuator with the tube spacer in delivering 500 micrograms of terbutaline sulphate to the airways of seven children with clinical asthma. Each child used the standard metered aerosol in his usual way and the tube spacer with a 5 second delay between actuation and inhalation on separate occasions. Response was measured by change in forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1). We found no significant difference in bronchodilatation between the two methods of aerosol delivery. We conclude that the tube spacer is an effective way of delivering a metered aerosol and that it has the advantage of allowing up to 5 seconds between actuation and inhalation. The tube spacer has particular application in young children who have difficulty in co‐ordinating their inspiration with metered aerosol actuatio

摘要:

ABSTRACT.The syndrome of infant botulism was first recognised in late 1975 and the majority of cases reported have been from the United States of America. One case has been reported from the United Kingdom and one from Canada.A three‐month‐old male infant from Victoria, Australia presented with constipation, marked hypotonia, limb weakness, ptosis, facial weakness and inability to suck and swallow. These abnormalities resolved and he returned to normal over the ensuing months.A diagnosis of infant botulism was confirmed after the isolation ofClostridium botulinumtype B from the faeces.Infant botulism has now been recognised in four different countries and it is likely than with increasing awareness of this striking clinical syndrome, more cases will be identif
