SummaryPatients with coeliac disease always excrete more saturated than unsaturated fatty acids with the faeces. If the diet contains practically only unsaturated fatty acids in the form of olive oil, then the fat excretion is normal (C.A. = 95 %). If the diet contains wheat flour instead of rice flour, noticeably more saturated fatty acids are excreted, while the excretion of unsaturated fatty acids remains practically the same. That in this case we have not only to deal with a disturbedfat absorptionis shown by the fact that with a diet of wheat flour + olive oil more saturated fatty acids are excreted than taken up with the diet. From this we can conclude that afat excretionexists in the case of patients with coeliac disease who use wheat flour. This was confirmed by experiments wThereby, on a fat free diet containing wheat flour, considerable quantities of fat were excreted with the faeces. Consequently it must be assumed that a disturbance in the intermediary digestion exists in coeliac disease.Therefore it is very tempting to consider a disturbance in the intermediary fat digestion also in the case of coeliac patients consuming a diet without wheat flour.It was evident that in pancreatic fibrosis also, the steatorrhoea in some measure is caused by fat excretion. In connexion with this, it is important to take into account the possibility of fat excretion, due to a disturbed intermediary fat digestion, being present in other diseases with steatorrhoea: sprue, rachitis, tuberculosis, lambliasis, icterus, etc.

摘要:

SummaryAdditional data on the tuberculin hemagglutination test in various types of tuberculous infection have been presented. The reproducibility of the test has been examined by running duplicates at different times. BCG vaccination in the neo‐natal period evokes a agglutinin response only after a relatively long period of time, whether or not the child has additional exposure to tuberculosis. Infants having such exposure develop higher titers, without having clinical evidence of any superinfection. Re vaccination with BCG evokes an anamnestic type of antibody response. The anamnestic response is not activated sufficiently or promptly enough by tuberculin testing to affect hemagglutinin studies within 2 weeks after the first tuberculin test. –

摘要:

SummaryA study is made of calcium contents in arterial and venous cord blood, the plasma calcium of the newborn (aged 1 to 3 days) and of the mother in 15 cases. The blood entering the infant from the afterbirth invariably contains more (0.3–2.3 mg/100 ml) calcium than the blood brought back from the infant. The calcium contents of the blood entering the placenta and of the infant's blood after birth are approximately on the same level, and the values are frequently higher than for the calcium of the mother. The findings of earlier investigators that the elevation of the cord calcium is high as compared to calcium of the infant, is mainly due to the circumstance that no separate consideration has been given to umbilical artery and umbilical vei

摘要:

SummaryIn the light of BRUCH'S works and theory, psychogenic aspects of childhood obesity have been estimated on the basis of a re‐examination of 61 obese children. An account is given of the material and the methods of investigation.It has not been possible to prove a characteristic outward social, family, and psychological constellation of surroundings for obese children. Recurrent characteristics in the surroundings are frequent occurrences of obesity in the families, great eating‐habits, and a wide‐spread tolerance of these phenomena. Most cases have confirmed that obese children have an abnormally great food intake, often combined with bodily inactivity. In their attitude to the fat child and in their views on such subjects as health, illness, eating‐habits, and obesity, a great percentage of the mothers have displayed many points of resemblance and common characteristics, which are interpreted as extreme and abnormally exaggerated expressions of traits that presumably were universal and typical of the Danish population of a certain period. Nothing has been found that can justify the assumption of a recurrent ambivalent attitude with secondary overprotection on the side of the mothers. By a direct diagnostic estimation of each separate obesity case in the material 9 cases were nominated ‘positive’. 12 ‘doubtful’, 40 ‘negative’ with regard to psychogenic obesity. The criteria for this division are discussed, and a few typical case histories are presented in condensed versions.Finally, attention is called to the desirability of procuring comparabl

摘要:

SummaryThe importance of oxygen administration in regard to the manifestation of changes in the calibre of the retinal vessels as well as the presence of peripheral retinal oedema has been studied from a material of 130 premature infants. It appears that the retinal vessels were often very narrow during the administration of oxygen, and that vascular dilatation and peripheral oedema occurred in most cases when oxygen was stopped, but, in individual cases, even whilst oxygen was being administrated. In the eases that had not been given oxygen, dilatation of the vessels and oedema occurred immediately after birth. Of those that were treated with oxygen, 2 developed into re‐trolental fibroplasia. Finally, attention is drawn to the connection between the time when retrolental fibroplasia made its appearance in different countries as well as the time when incubators with surplus oxygen began to be used in the respective countrie

摘要:

SummaryDescription of a case of erythroleukaemia (morbus Di Guglielmo) in an infant of 7 months of age, where the symptoms manifested themselves shortly after smallpox vaccination. The patient had high fever, marked hepato‐splenomegaly, anemia and thrombocytopenia as well as leucocytosis, with the occurrence of young, often atypical myeloid and erythroid elements in the blood. The erythroid elements dominated over the myeloid elements in the marrow. The treatment, consisting of aminopterin, supported by blood transfusions and antibiotics, did not influence the acute fatal development, although the young myeloid elements (myeloblasts, promyelocytes, and myelocytes) soon disappeared from the blood, and the liver and spleen grew smaller. At autopsy, erythroid and myeloid proliferation were found in the marrow, liver, spleen, lymphnodes, thymus and intestine
