Asymmetrical head-turning of preterm infants: some effects on later postural and functional lateralities / Yukuo KONISHI in Developmental Medicine & Child Neurology, 28-4 (August 1986)

Public ISBD [article]  inDevelopmental Medicine & Child Neurology > 28-4 (August 1986) . - p.450-457 Titre : Asymmetrical head-turning of preterm infants: some effects on later postural and functional lateralities Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Yukuo KONISHI, Auteur ; Haruki MIKAWA, Auteur ; Junko SUZUKI, Auteur Année de publication : 1986 Article en page(s) : p.450-457 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Asymmetrical head-turning and its effects on subsequent functional lateralities and postural asymmetries were examined in 44 relatively low-risk preterm and 53 fullterm infants. Persisting head-turning to the right was observed more often among preterm infants, as was an asymmetrical skull with flattened right occiput and head-turning to the right. Asymmetrical trunk posture was present in 20 preterm and four fullterm infants. At nine months right-hand preference was more marked in preterm infants, and hand preference was well coincident with head-turning. Changes in hand preference occurred more often among fullterm infants. Asymmetrical gait seemed to correlate with head-turning in preterm infants.

Effect of body position on later postural and functional lateralities of preterm infants / Yukuo KONISHI in Developmental Medicine & Child Neurology, 29-6 (December 1987)

Public ISBD [article]  inDevelopmental Medicine & Child Neurology > 29-6 (December 1987) . - p.751-757 Titre : Effect of body position on later postural and functional lateralities of preterm infants Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Yukuo KONISHI, Auteur ; Haruki MIKAWA, Auteur ; Junko SUZUKI, Auteur ; Masanori KURIYAMA, Auteur Année de publication : 1987 Article en page(s) : p.751-757 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : The effects of body position during the neonatal period on subsequent functional and postural behaviours were examined in relatively low-risk preterm infants. 44 infants were nursed in the supine position and 37 in a prone position throughout their admission period. Persistent head-turning to the right was observed more often and continued longer in the infants lying in supine. Asymmetrical postures, e.g. of skull and trunk, were more often seen in infants lying in supine than in prone. The prone position was thought to help prevent infantile scoliosis. At nine months, preference for the right hand was more marked in infants lying in supine, whereas infants lying in prone used their hands bilaterally, a tendency that persisted at 18 months. Asymmetrical gait pattern with mild gait disturbance was found more often in infants lying in supine than in prone. The prone position was thought to prevent asymmetrical posture and excessive functional asymmetries.

Sequential CT studies of 24 children with infantile spasms on ACTH therapy / Masatoshi ITO in Developmental Medicine & Child Neurology, 25-4 (August 1983)

Public ISBD [article]  inDevelopmental Medicine & Child Neurology > 25-4 (August 1983) . - p.475-480 Titre : Sequential CT studies of 24 children with infantile spasms on ACTH therapy Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Masatoshi ITO, Auteur ; Tastuo TAKAO, Auteur ; Takehiko OKUNA, Auteur ; Haruki MIKAWA, Auteur Année de publication : 1983 Article en page(s) : p.475-480 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Sequential CT studies were performed in 24 patients with infantile spasms, before, during and after ACTH therapy, in order to analyze the relationship between the dose of ACTH and changes in CT scan findings. In six cases CT scans did not return to their original state after ACTH therapy. Two illustrative cases are reported. There was a good correlation between the total dose of ACTH and the percentage decrease of brain parenchyma. It is concluded that 'cerebral atrophy' on CT scans may represent an accumulative effect of ACTH and that ACTH should be given with the utmost discretion, and in as low a dose as possible.
