摘要:

SYNOPSISSeventy‐six newborn infants with significant jaundice, caused by other than foetomaternal blood group incompatibility, have been studied by simple but systematic methods. Bacterial infection emerged as the most common cause. Blood culture and microscopy of urine proved to be the most rewarding routine tests and these are advocated in all newborn babies in whom jaundice gives rise to concern. ‘Neonatal hepatitis’ and biliary atresia were the main causes of jaundice which persisted for more than one month, and investigation of their aetiology is briefly rep

SYNOPSISThe FIGLU excretion without histidine loading has been used in the diagnosis of folic acid deficiency in children. The test requires only a random urine sample, and has been found to be reliable, the results having a better correlation than the usual microbiological assessment of serum folate activity.

摘要:

SYNOPSISMany girls above the mean in stature become concerned about this when they are pubescent. A selected group of these girls has been treated successfully with stilboestrol to accelerate their skeletal maturation and thus reduce their adult stature. The selection of girls for treatment, and the sources of inaccuracy in estimating the effectiveness of treatment in individual girls are discussed.

摘要:

SYNOPSISDisaccharidase levels in duodenal biopsy specimens from parents and siblings of 4 children presenting with symptoms of intestinal sucrase and isomaltase deficiency have been compared with those from a group of normal adults and children. The data obtained indicate a recessive mode of inheritance of this double enzyme deficiency.It is suggested that intestinal sucrase‐isomaltase deficiency might not be rare, and the means by which the homozygotes and heterozygotes for this disorder could be identified by quantitative disaccharidase assay, are propose
