摘要:

SYNOPSISIn 1964 as part of a population study, the blood cholesterols of 1,292 school children in the town of Busselton in Western Australia were examined. A gradual rise in the median value throughout school life was demonstrated in both boys and girls, with a pre‐adolescent rise comparable with similar studies elsewhere.In 1969 the cholesterol levels of the children with the highest, middle and lowest 5% levels in 1967 were repeated and showed a highly significant correlation, thus indicating that a single cholesterol estimation in childhood is of considerable predictive value, at least over a 2 year period.Comparison of cholesterol levels of 929 children with those of their parents revealed a significant correlation between parents and children throughout the whole cholesterol range. It has not been possible to demonstrate whether the cause is dietary or genetic, except in a few cases of genetic hyperlipidaemia, but it is likely that, at least in those children with a cholesterol higher than 250 mgm% of the cause is genetic. The mother's cholesterol is more closely related than the father's to that of the children. This might be due to both a genetic contribution to the children and her role in controlling the diet of the family, this control being greatest on the young childre

摘要:

SYNOPSISA prospective study has shown that the guillotine amputation of the finger in small children can be treated conservatively by dressing only and that there is no need for hospital admission or operation for this condition.

摘要:

SYNOPSISThe cytogenic findings in 271 mongols are described and discussed. The cases were ascertained by routine referral and also by total ascertainment studies of institutionalised mongols. 23 of the 271 did not have regular mongol karyotypes. It is suggested that all mongols should be referred for chromosomal studies.

摘要:

SYNOPSISA physiopathological mechanism for the occurrence of breath‐holding attacks in children is postulated. This suggests that under certain stresses a child forcibly expires and squeezes deoxygenated blood out of the right side of his heart, through a patent foramen ovale into the systemic circulation. This deoxygenated blood causes cyanosis. A fall in cardiac output gives rise to cerebral anoxia, unconsciousness, and in some instances, fits. In the so‐called pallid attacks, much the same sequence of events occurs, but in this instance the foramen ovale is closed and therefore cyanosis cannot occur and the child faints due to transient cardiac arr

摘要:

SYNOPSISValues of pO2obtained from capillary blood by histamine iontophoresis were compared with arterial values both before and after the induction of endotoxin shock in the experimental animal. Capillary blood pO2levels were found to compare favourably with arterial blood levels in both circumstances. It is suggested that arterialisation of capillary blood by histamine iontophoresis could be used to determine pO2levels in the acutely ill child when arterial blood is not readily available.

摘要:

SYNOPSISAn apparently healthy 4 year old boy complained of sudden, persistent, severe back pain associated with vomiting and peripheral circulatory failure. The radiological findings were puzzling and he died, undiagnosed, 36 hours after the onset of symptoms. Necropsy revealed significant cardiac hypertrophy in addition to the findings described in the title.The mechanism of the strangulation and the advisability of prophylactic repair of partial pericardial defects are discussed.

摘要:

SYNOPSISA case of haemophilus meningitis complicated by pericardial effusion is described. This association has been reported only once previously. Clinical features suggesting acute constrictive pericarditis developed, but resolved during administration of diuretics. The difficulty in distinguishing acute constrictive pericarditis from pericardial tamponade is discussed.
