摘要:

SYNOPSISA study was undertaken of the relationship of the haemodynamic disturbance of ventricular septal defects to the growth of affected subjects. Stunting was observed, particularly with respect to weight, and occurred mainly but not exclusively in subjects with a large defect. Some subjects already exhibited stunting at birth with evidence of intrauterine growth retardation. By 3 to 12 months of age, the differences in growth between the subjects became marked. There was some improvement subsequently, related in part to improvement in the haemodynamic disturbance.The pertinent literature is reviewed and the possible mechanisms of the multiple factors involved in the growth retardation are discussed.

摘要:

SYNOPSISThe relative importance of growth, composition of the diet, and renal function in maintaining internal stability during the first 2 critical weeks when the newborn baby is endeavouring to adapt to his new environment has been investigated. The technique used was serial daily metabolic balance studies in normal premature babies, in oedematous premature babies, oedematous premature babies with respiratory distress, dysmature babies, infants of diabetic mothers, and full term infants fed pooled human milk.

摘要:

SYNOPSISIgG, IgM and IgA levels were determined in the cord serum of 23 babies who were both ‘small‐for‐dates’and clinically dysmature. The results confirm that there are abnormalities of humoral immunity in a small proportion of these

摘要:

SYNOPSISExperience of a comprehensive screening of 72 children for immunological function is presented. Cellular immunity was assessed by testing for delayed hypersensitivity to Candida, Streptococcus and mumps, as well as in vitro testing of lymphocyte transformation in the presence of phytohaemagglutinin. Humoral function was assessed by measuring immuno‐globulin levels and titres before and after immunisation with tetanus toxoid and Salmonella typhi monovalent vaccine. The routine presented is safe and convenient; results are available within 3 week

摘要:

SYNOPSISThe mother‐child relationship was studied in 28 children with coeliac disease. It was found that there was a high incidence of emotional symptoms in these children, namely withdrawal, irritability and ‘clingingness.’Accompanying these symptoms in the children there was a significant disturbance of the mother‐child relationship, with maternal anxiety, maternal depression and maternal preoccupation. These symptoms in the mother and child disappeared or greatly improved once the child had responded to a gluten‐free diet, except when the mother was already emotionally disturbed before the onset of the child'

摘要:

SYNOPSISStatistics derived from a sample of 1391 schoolgirls drawn from both state and private schools showed the mean age of menarche to be 12.65 years. Selected schools were included to give a representative sample in terms of geographical and social class distribution. The onset of puberty was found to be normally distributed within the age range 9 years to 15 years 8 months. After an examination of the results of previous Australian studies, evidence was found which suggested a secular trend in the onset of puberty with fluctuations paralleling times of economic crisis.

摘要:

SYNOPSISA decision concerning the appropriate sex of rearing of an intersex patient can be difficult, especially in the patient in whom biological tests favour the male sex but the phallus is so small that it could be called an enlarged clitoris. Two such patients are described; one was reared as a male and the other as a female, and the reasons for the sex of rearing are discussed.

摘要:

SYNOPSISThere appears to be a high incidence in Singapore of this rare congenital anomaly. Although the population consists of Malays, Chinese, Indians, Europeans and others, all 5 cases reported were offspring of Chinese. The aetiology is unknown and the condition is only of theoretical interest as there is no method of management or treatment. Most cases die early.
