Cerebral palsy and perinatal deaths in geographically defined populations with different perinatal services / Jan ARVIDSSON in Developmental Medicine & Child Neurology, 26-6 (December 1994)

Public ISBD [article]  inDevelopmental Medicine & Child Neurology > 26-6 (December 1994) . - p.709-716 Titre : Cerebral palsy and perinatal deaths in geographically defined populations with different perinatal services Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Jan ARVIDSSON, Auteur ; Roland EKSMYR, Auteur Année de publication : 1984 Article en page(s) : p.709-716 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : The number of perinatal deaths and of children with cerebral palsy among 23,039 total births between 1973 and 1978 in one Swedish county were examined by comparing two populations which differed by the presence or absence of a neonatal ward (special care baby unit) in the maternity hospital for the district. No support was found for the assumption that lower perinatal mortality in the region without a neonatal ward would be at the cost of an increased number with cerebral palsy. Between the two three-year periods there was a highly significant decrease in perinatal mortality in the sample without a neonatal ward. When perinatal deaths and cerebral palsy were considered together the decline remained highly significant. The corresponding change in the sample with a neonatal ward was smaller and non-significant.

Myasthenia gravis in Chinese children / W. Y. CHAN-LUI in Developmental Medicine & Child Neurology, 26-6 (December 1994)

LAU, Auteur Année de publication : 1984 Article en page(s) : p.717-724 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : A clinical study of 50 Southern Chinese myasthenic children observed for periods of two to 18 years (six years on average) revealed manifestations different from those of caucasian patients. Onset was early, at an average of 4.8 years. 82 per cent had ocular myasthenia. Ophthalmoplegia followed ptosis between three months and 10 years later. Additional facial and isolated limb-muscle fatigability developed in only 6 per cent within three months to 3 1/2 years. Only 12 per cent developed generalized myasthenia. Although extension from ocular to the generalized form did not occur later than 20 months after onset, a deterioration in ocular symptoms, without extension into generalized myasthenia, occurred in nine of 18 children during adolescence. Ptosis and generalized myasthenia responded better to anticholinesterase and/or prednisone. Ophthalmoplegia was difficult to treat. The natural clinical course was benign. Spontaneous remission occurred in 62 per cent of cases, but 54.8 per cent of these relapsed, all confined to ocular muscles. Although there was no familial occurrence of myasthenia gravis, an association was found between myasthenia and thyroid disorders in some patients and their relatives. The association with HLA BW46 antigen was striking. Acetylcholine receptor antibodies were absent in the majority, but mildly elevated titres were found in three of five patients whose ocular symptoms deteriorated during adolescence, without extension into generalized myasthenia.

DUTTON, Auteur ; Sada OKUMURA, Auteur Année de publication : 1984 Article en page(s) : p.725-731 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Progressive hydrocephalus following subependymal-intraventricular hemorrhages (SEH-IVH) in premature infants has been noted after moderate to severe degrees of hemorrhage. The ventricular dilatation often has been noted to resolve spontaneously, or not continue to progress after four weeks of age. 11 premature infants with moderate to marked degrees of ventricular enlargement following minor degrees of SEH-IVH have been identified over an 18-month period, and in six of these infants the dilatation continued to progress after one month of age. This sequence of events has not been well documented, and it emphasizes the need to closely follow all infants who have sustained any degree of intracranial hemorrhage. The authors recommend routine real-time ultrasound brain-scans at one month of age for all infants with SEH-IVH, and continued close observation with serial head-measurements of those with enlarged ventricular systems at that time.

The method entails measuring intravalvular pressure by puncturing the valve belly with a fine needle connected to a manometer. High pressure suggests a distal occlusion; very low pressure coupled with difficulty in aspirating CSF suggests a proximal occlusion. All pressures have to be corrected by the addition of a factor equal to half the pressure specification of the valve. The results of a pilot study support these conclusions.

When 25 patients treated with CBZ alone (group 1) were compared with 27 on CBZ and sodium valproate (group 2) and with 38 on CBZ and one or more other anticonvulsants (group 3), the incidence of side-effects was two in group 1 (of whom one patient had a toxic plasma level of CBZ), but 12 in groups 2 and 3 combined. In all but three of the 14 patients with side-effects, plasma levels of CBZ were within the 'therapeutic range'. A significant difference was found between the carbamazepine-10,11-epoxide (CBZ-10,11-EPOX) levels in plasma and CBZ-10,11-EPOX/CBZ ratio in patients with and without side-effects. For five patients on CBZ and other drugs, changes in treatment resulted in changes in side-effects, and also in CBZ-10,11-EPOX levels. Three of these patients showed an interaction between CBZ and sodium valproate, with a correlation between plasma CBZ-10,11-EPOX and side-effects when either drug was introduced or withdrawn, the plasma levels of CBZ itself and of sodium valproate being within the 'therapeutic range'.

Using a 360 degree goniometer, the popliteal angle was measured with the hip held at 90 degree flexion, to indicate hamstring-muscle tightness. Limitation of knee extension was also measured with the hip extended (HEKE angle) to indicate capsular tightness. Both the popliteal and HEKE angle measurements showed greatest limitation of knee extension at birth, which decreased until eight months of age, when most infants showed no limitation. A highly significant negative correlation was found between age and mean popliteal and HEKE angles.

Behavior and bladder disturbance of enuretic children: a rational classification of a common disorder / David SHAFFER in Developmental Medicine & Child Neurology, 26-6 (December 1994)

Public ISBD [article]  inDevelopmental Medicine & Child Neurology > 26-6 (December 1994) . - p.781-792 Titre : Behavior and bladder disturbance of enuretic children: a rational classification of a common disorder Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : David SHAFFER, Auteur ; Barbara HEDGE, Auteur ; Andrew GARDNER, Auteur Année de publication : 1984 Article en page(s) : p.781-792 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : A group of 126 enuretic children were evaluated as to their psychiatric and neurological states, functional bladder volume and environmental circumstances. Few differences were found when the children were grouped according to presence or absence of social disadvantage, the presence of a family history of enuresis, or the nature of onset of enuresis. No classification differentially predicted response to treatment. However, children with an associated psychiatric disorder had significantly lower bladder volumes and had more developmental delays. It is concluded that the classifications of primary or secondary enuresis, or familial or non-familial, etc., are of little practical value. When psychiatric disorder is found, it is probably related to other constitutional abnormalities. Rather than there being two separate groups of enuretic children with behavior disorder and low functional bladder volume, these two abnormalities are found in conjunction.

Roentgenographic cranial-base and calvarial measurements of Jamaican children between one month and five years / Sunit SINGHI in Developmental Medicine & Child Neurology, 26-6 (December 1994)

Public ISBD [article]  inDevelopmental Medicine & Child Neurology > 26-6 (December 1994) . - p.793-798 Titre : Roentgenographic cranial-base and calvarial measurements of Jamaican children between one month and five years Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Sunit SINGHI, Auteur ; Pratibha SINGHI, Auteur ; Francis FERNANDEZ, Auteur ; N. MOULE, Auteur Année de publication : 1984 Article en page(s) : p.793-798 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Three-hundred-and-thirty lateral skull-films obtained from apparently healthy normocephalic Jamaican children between the age of one month and five years were studied, using bony reference points nasion (N), tuberculum sellae (Ts), internal occipital prominence (IOP), inion (I), bregma (B) and lambda (L). Cranial-base length was measured between N-Ts, Ts-IOP and N-I. Calvarial height was measured between Ts-B (anterior calvarium) and Ts-L (posterior calvarium). All the measurements showed an increase with age and were higher in boys. Significant correlations were seen between N-Ts and Ts-IOP, N-Ts and N-I, N-Ts and Ts-B, N-Ts and Ts-L and N-I and Ts-L at all the ages and in both sexes. Ratios between lengths of anterior and posterior cranial-base, as well as between cranial-base lengths and anterior cranial heights, were nearly constant at all the ages and in both sexes. These observations support the view that there is definite proportionality between the growth of anterior and posterior cranial-base lengths, and between anterior calvarial height and cranial-base lengths. On the other hand, a significant increase with age was seen in the ratios N-Ts/Ts-L, N-I/Ts/L and Ts/B/Ts-L, suggesting a progressive decrease in growth of posterior calvarial height. A comparison of the data with previously published figures for Indian and Norwegian populations suggests a racial difference in the various cranial-base and calvarial ratios.

Perinatal risk factors in the aetiology of hearing loss in preschool children / Klara THIRINGER in Developmental Medicine & Child Neurology, 26-6 (December 1994)

Public ISBD [article]  inDevelopmental Medicine & Child Neurology > 26-6 (December 1994) . - p.799-807 Titre : Perinatal risk factors in the aetiology of hearing loss in preschool children Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Klara THIRINGER, Auteur ; Aira KANKKUNEN, Auteur ; Gunnar LIDEN, Auteur ; Aimon NIKALSSON, Auteur Année de publication : 1984 Article en page(s) : p.799-807 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : In order to assess the importance of pertinent perinatal risk factors in causing hearing loss (HI), a retrospective evaluation was made of the records of 146 affected children born in the city of Göteborg between 1970 and 1979. The incidence among six-year-olds born between 1970 and 1974 was 3.8 per 1000 newborns. If only HI of more severe degree was taken into account (above 40dB in the best ear), the remaining incidence was 1.4/1000. Sensorineural HI (SNHI) accounted for 87 per cent of the cases. A positive hereditary tendency for HI was found in 55 per cent. In 61 per cent the origin of the HI was presumably prenatal, either positive heredity alone or in the form of facio-auricular anomalies, syndromes and toxic influences (infection and alcohol) during early pregnancy. Postnatal infections (meningitis, parotitis and secretory otitis media) could be ascertained as causes in about 20 per cent of the cases. For 12 per cent no aetiology could be determined. Perinatal aetiology was probable or possible in about 10 per cent of the children. The frequency of SNHI was found to be increased among survivors of neonatal intensive care, VLBW, LBW and SFD infants. Caesarean section, ventouse and breech delivery were not associated with increased rates, nor were hyperbilirubinaemia, exchange transfusion or birth asphyxia. No cases could be traced to aminoglycoside treatment. Neonatal sepsis/meningitis may have been the cause in two of the 146 cases. Hypoxia as a consequence of apnoea and respiratory distress syndrome necessitating mechanical ventilation appeared to be the major risk-factor in the neonatal period. However, in comparison with genetic predisposition, potentially damaging perinatal factors appeared to be of minor importance.

Each was also fitted with a wrap-around, moulded leather jacket. Each brace held the relaxed lumbar spine in an angle of lordosis similar to that achieved by a brief active effort to sit erect without a brace. Over-all, they proved equally acceptable to patients and carers. The modified Calot brace caused substantially less restriction of pulmonary function and so may be preferable to the moulded leather jacket.
