Analysis of 100 infant deaths with intraventricular hemorrhage: brain weights and risk factors / Gabrielle M. DE COURTEN in Developmental Medicine & Child Neurology, 23-3 (June 1981)

Public ISBD [article]  inDevelopmental Medicine & Child Neurology > 23-3 (June 1981) . - p.287-295 Titre : Analysis of 100 infant deaths with intraventricular hemorrhage: brain weights and risk factors Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Gabrielle M. DE COURTEN, Auteur ; Th. RABINOWICZ, Auteur Année de publication : 1981 Article en page(s) : p.287-295 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Because the lowering of brain-tissue pressure is associated with a loss in brain weight, the brain weights of 100 infants with intraventricular hemorrhage were compared with those of 100 control infants. After the 30th week of gestation the brain weight of infants with intraventricular hemorrhage were lower than those of the controls. This finding supports the authors' hypothesis of a causal relationship between brain shrinkage and intraventricular hemorrhage. Of 13 other risk factors investigated, only prematurity could be related directly to the occurrence of intraventricular hemorrhage.

Of the 80 abnormal infants, one had died at age three months and 13 other remained abnormal at 18 months, of whom five had severe neurological dysfunction. Two of the control infants had mild abnormalities at 18 months. The rate of false negative results was low, but there was a high rate of false positive results, indicating a high frequency of transient neonatal morbidity.

They were then evaluated for language development at four years of age. The atypical group had significantly lower scores on two of the four measures of language competence, but the results must be interpreted with caution because of the small number of children in the study.

Biofeedback treatment of fecal incontinence in patients with myelomeningocele / William E. WHITEHEAD in Developmental Medicine & Child Neurology, 23-3 (June 1981)

FREEMAN, Auteur Année de publication : 1981 Article en page(s) : p.313-322 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Approximately six hours of biofeedback training was given to eight fecally incontinent children with myelomeningocele in order to establish bowel control. Their ages ranged from five to 15 years. The patients were shown a polygraph tracing of the external anal sphincter while they were being encouraged voluntarily to contract the sphincter when the rectum was distended with progressively larger volumes of air in a balloon. Seven of the eight patients showed normal sensation for rectal distension. Following this training period, five of the children had no incontinent periods, and two of these had discontinued enemas or suppositories. A sixth patient had an 80 per cent reduction in the frequency of incontinence. The remaining two did not benefit. At follow-up between 13 and 24 months later, four children were incontinent once a month or less often; two others were incontinent once per day, a considerable decrease from the pretraining period. The two children who failed to learn were still incontinent at follow-up. These results show that fecally incontinent patients with myelomeningocele can learn to evacuate normally or to reduce soiling after a relatively short period of biofeedback training.

Saccades of hyperactive and normal boys during ocular pursuit / Stanley P. BALA in Developmental Medicine & Child Neurology, 23-3 (June 1981)

In the first series of tests, irregular pursuit occurred more often in hyperactive than in normal boys. Hyperactive boys made more saccadic movements, their average saccades were larger, and they looked away from the pursuit path more frequently than the normal boys. In a second series of tests three years later, the differences between normal and hyperactive boys still existed. In a third set of experiments the effects of an attention task, different stimulus velocities and stimulant medication were studied in another group of control and hyperactive boys. With or without the attention task, hyperactive boys not receiving stimulant medication made more saccades than normal boys. Differences were greatest at lower target velocities and decreased at higher stimulus velocities. Differences between hyperactive and normal boys disappeared when the former received both stimulant medication and the attention task. The findings were the same in the two groups of hyperactive boys: they had more saccades superimposed on ocular pursuit than did normal boys. Differences between the groups may be related to their relative ability to attend to the target. The differences are of a magnitude that might make them useful as an adjunct for diagnosis of hyperactivity or for evaluating the effects of treatment.

Early maternal-child contact: effects on later behaviour / Zulaika ALI in Developmental Medicine & Child Neurology, 23-3 (June 1981)

The behaviour of these infants and their mothers was compared with matched controls at six and 12 weeks in a hospital follow-up interview. More early-contact mothers solely breast-fed their infants than did control mothers. Early-contact infants were less likely than controls to be restless or crying during the interviews. At 12 weeks, early-contact mothers were more likely than control mothers to rise and follow when their babies were taken from them, gazed more frequently at their infants, and were more likely to vocalise to their infants during the interview. These differences indicate that early contact promotes a closer relationship between a woman and her infant. Given the importance of breast-feeding as protection against gastro-enteritis and malnutrition, this closer relationship may be especially valuable in developing countries where such diseases are common.

Oral contraceptives and birth defects / R. W. SMITHELLS in Developmental Medicine & Child Neurology, 23-3 (June 1981)

W. SMITHELLS, Auteur Année de publication : 1981 Article en page(s) : p.369-372 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : PIP: Although OCs (oral contraceptives) are not designed to be taken during pregnancy, in Europe and the U.S. they are taken by 2-5% of women in early pregnancy and by 1/4-1/3 of women 3-4 months prior to conception. The effects of OCs on folic acid and other vitamin metabolism are well known and provide a theoretical basis for possible teratogenicity, even when stopped prior to conception. Both hormone support therapy for threatened abortions and hormonal pregnancy tests have been abandoned in recent years, the first because it proved inefficacious, the second because there are better alternatives available. In neither of these cases were sex hormones shown to be teratogenic. Most cohort (prospective) and many case-control (retrospective) studies have shown no association between OC use and birth defects. Case-control methodology can be criticized because of recall bias and because of the difficulty of choosing entirely matched controls. Several studies have shown OC users to have characteristics slightly different from the general population, e.g., they are younger, more often unmarried, and are more likely to smoke during pregnancy. Any of these characteristics might influence the occurrence of teratogenicity. It is impossible to prove that OCs constitute a low-level teratogen. The author considers them nonteratogenic.

Both hormone support therapy for threatened abortions and hormonal pregnancy tests have been abandoned in recent years, the first because it proved inefficacious, the second because there are better alternatives available. In neither of these cases were sex hormones shown to be teratogenic. Most cohort (prospective) and many case-control (retrospective) studies have shown no association between OC use and birth defects. Case-control methodology can be criticized because of recall bias and because of the difficulty of choosing entirely matched controls. Several studies have shown OC users to have characteristics slightly different from the general population, e.g., they are younger, more often unmarried, and are more likely to smoke during pregnancy. Any of these characteristics might influence the occurrence of teratogenicity. It is impossible to prove that OCs constitute a low-level teratogen. The author considers them nonteratogenic.

Intraventricular hemorrhage in premature infants: reappraisal and new hypothesis / Gabrielle M. DE COURTEN in Developmental Medicine & Child Neurology, 23-3 (June 1981)

Public ISBD [article]  inDevelopmental Medicine & Child Neurology > 23-3 (June 1981) . - p.389-403 Titre : Intraventricular hemorrhage in premature infants: reappraisal and new hypothesis Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Gabrielle M. DE COURTEN, Auteur ; Th. RABINOWICZ, Auteur Année de publication : 1981 Article en page(s) : p.389-403 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Germinal matrix hemorrhage leading to intraventricular hemorrhage results from an excessive pressure gradient between the blood-vessel lumen and the surrounding brain tissue. This gradient may be caused by increased intravascular pressure or--as this paper hypothesises--by decreased tissue pressure. Brain-tissue pressure depends on water content, and it decreases when water moves out of the brain, as occurs in conditions associated with dehydration, plasma hyperosmolality or hypotension. Such conditions occur frequently in premature infants, which may explain why intraventricular hemorrhage develops with a delay after birth. Its coincidence in time with postnatal head-shrinkage and its association with plasma hyperosmolality, hyperosmolar alkali therapy and hypotension strengthen the hypothesis of a cause and effect relationship between reduced cerebral tissue pressure and intraventricular hemorrhage.
