Über Enzephalographie bei Kindern
Authors: PALMGREN ÅKE 
Published: January 2008

Zusammenfassung.An 68 Kindern mit manifesten oder suspekten zerebralen Affektionen wurden mittels subokzipitaler Lufteinblasung 74 Enzephalogramme ausgefiihrt. Die Methodik hierbei wird in Ktirze besprochen, desgleichen die Nebenwirkungen der Enzephalo‐graphie. Nach der Erörterung des Materials wird darauf hinge‐wiesen, wie die Enzephalographie bei unklaren Gehirnprozessen bedeutungsvolle Aufklärungen vermitteln kann und besonders hervorgehoben, dass dieselbe oft bei der Jacksonschen Epilepsie Klarheit bringen hat.
The treatment of spasmophilia with a single massive dose of vitamin D2
Authors: STRÖM JUSTUS 
Published: January 2008

Summary.A survey is given of the reports on the use of a single massive dose of vitamin D in spasmophilia, which cover about 130 cases. Convulsions occurred during the first day after the massive dose ill altogether 5 cases, including one of the writer's. The laryngeal spasm generally disappears in one or two days, and likewise the mechanical and electric hyperexcitability. The serum calcium generally rises rapidly, often even during the first day, and normal values are reached after a week on the average.The writer reports his own experience in five cases of manifest and four of latent spasmophilia which were treated with massive doses of vitamin D2, not combined with any dietetic or symptomatic treatment. The results were excellent; only in one case did a convulsion occur after the massive dose (16 hours later). The laryngeal spasm disappeared after two days in four cases. In one case of severe tetany with convulsions and laryngeal spasm, all the symptoms had gone after three days. In three manifest cases, the changes in the blood chemistry were carefully followed and the calcium level rose rapidly in one case and more slowly in two others, but both the clinical symptoms and the mechanical and electric hyperexcitability had disappeared after two and four days in these cases as well.So much experience has been gained, especially in Germany with massive doses of vitamin D in spasmophilia that it should be possible to establish that this form of treatment is superior to all earlier ones, both in regard to simplicity and to rapidity of effect.
Nierenreizung bei Erythema nodosum
Authors: WALLGREN ARVID 
Published: January 2008

Zusammenfassung.Wahrend des von verschiedenen Infektionen hervorgerufenen toxisch‐allergischen Fieberzustandes, in dem das Erythema nodosum auftritt, liegen oft gleichzeitig Zeichen von Nierenreizungen vor, die gewöhnlich subklinisch sind, sich aber als akute hämor‐rhagische Nephritis manifestieren können. Diese organische oder funktionelle Nierenläsionen sind wahrscheinlich als ein Ausdruck derselben toxischen oder allergischen Fernwirkung des infektiösen Agens zu betrachten, das die Erythema‐nodosum‐Eruption und die Kapillarbrüchigkeit in der Haut hervorrief.
Über die geistige Entwicklung beim angeborenen Myxödem.
Authors: SCHAEFFER Dr. L. FAÇEE 
Published: January 2008

Zusammenfassung. Von den von uns nachuntersuchten Patienten weisen nur drei, Pat. 1, 7 und 25 in ihrem Habitus noch Züge des Myxödems auf. Die Studie der Psychomotorik hat herausgestellt, dass es bei der Hypothyreoidie ein karakteristischer reiativer Rückstand gibt in der Entwicklung des statischen Körpergleichgewichts der ganzen Psychomotorik gegeniiber. Andere Schwachsinnigkeitsformen zeigen diesen Unterschied nicht. Im ganzen war der Erfolg der Therapie desto besser, je nachdem die Erscheinungen der Krankheit spater auftraten xind die Therapie früher einsetzte. Es gibt davon aber auch Ausnahmen. Einige von diesen Ausnahmen lassen sich erklären; eins der untersuchten Kinder weist näm‐lich in seinem Wesen zugleicher Zeit mongoloide Züge auf. Bei einem zweiten Kinde, das Madchen E, dessen Kranken‐geschichte ausführlich mitgeteilt wird, wird die Abweichung von der Regel dem Umstande zugeschrieben, dass bei ihr das Myxödem zerebralen Ursprung sei mid die überstandene Enzephalitis sowohl das Myxödem als die psychischen Störungen verursacht hat.SchliessJich wird auf die Schwierigkeiten der Dosierung eingegangen und dazu geraten, nur dann von einer zweckmässigen oder ausreichenden Therapie zu sprechen, falls sich der Verstand in befriedigender Weise entwickelt. Um dies zu erreichen soil man sich nicht scheuen, die Dosis zu ver‐mehren, sogar bis zum Erscheinen der ersten Symptome einer Hyperthyreoidie.
The weight of healthy breast‐fed infants during the first year of life
Authors: SYDOW. GERT V. 
Published: January 2008

Summary.A material that is t o serve as a normal material for the weight development of healthy infants must be anthropologically, geographically and socially representative of the population of which i t is to be taken as a norm, but must be selected in such a manner that factors that may disturb the normal development and health of the individuals are eliminated as far as possible from the material. I n a statistical analysis of the material the essential thing is t o obtain a measurement of the range of variation, while little importance is attached to the mean weight.The present material comprises 1 073 children selected from the clientele of the Children's Welfare Centres at Goteborg in accordance with the criteria mentioned above. The children were under the supervision of the welfare centres for at least 7 months (at leastfrom the 91st to the 300th day of life); they were fed mainly on mother's milk (500 gm. addition daily at most) for at least 180 days; during the period of observation they did not show any signs of malformations, congenital diseases, or affections that can be attributed to a constitutional predisposition, nor any other affections before the actual weigh‐ing. The children were divided according to sex and birth‐weight (600 gm. classes). and the mean weight and different limits of the range of variation in 20‐day periods during the first year of life are recorded for each group.The material may be regarded as a normal material for infants at Goteborg. In the absence of other investigations it is difficult t o determine whether the population of Giiteborg can be regarded as representative of the rest of Sweden and the other Nordic countries, but there seems t o be no grounds for assuming any considerable differences, and therefore for the present tlie weight curves may be used for practical purposes all over the country.
Ein Fall von starker Anämie während des frühen Säuglingsalters sowie einige pathogenetische Betrachtungen
Authors: ÅKERRÉN. Y. 
Published: January 2008

ZusammenfassungDer Verfasser berichtet uber einen Fall von schwerer AnLmie bei einem 18 Tage alten Kind, das direkt vor dem Tod ein Blutbild von HLmoglobin 10 % und roten Blutkor‐perchen 0,45 Mill. hatte. Trotz Bluttransfusion von 100 ccm keine Besserung sondern Tod innerhalb einiger Stunden. Kli‐nisch und anatomisch and sich eine bedeutend vergrosserte Milz, die im Gegensatz zu den im iibrigen ausgesprochen animischen Organen starken Blutgehalt zeigte, sowie Zeichen eines intensiven Blutzerfalls. Ausserdem fanden sich Anzeichen fur eine geheniinte Knochenmarkserythropoese. Klinisch kann der Fall als ein Zustand von Aniimia neonatorum, sekundiir zu einem Icterus gravis neonatorum bezeichnet werden. Die Pathogenese wird diskutiert und die Diskussion resultiert darin, dass das hamatologische Geschehen in diesem Fall als ein pathologischer Exzess des physiologischen hamatologischen Geschehens wahrend der Neugeborenenperiode bezeichnet wer‐den kann, die durch eine herabgesetzte Erythropoese und eine gesteigerte Ergthrocytendestruktion gekennzeichnet jst. In Hinblick auf das oft faniiliare Auftreten von Fiillen von Ana‐ mia, bzw. Icterus neonatorum gravis, Hydrops congenitus sowie gewissen Formen von intrauterinem Fruchttod geniigt diese Erklarung jedoch nicht als eine generelle pathogenetische Erklarung fur diese Zustande. Man muss daher eine schon intrauterin entstandene, mehr oder aeniger tiefgreifende Scha‐digung der reticuloendothelialen und hamatopoetischen Organe als gemeinsamen Zug bei allen diesen Zustanden annehmen. I n den schwersten Formen fuhrt diese Schiidigung und die durch sie bedingten Sttirungen zum intrauterinen Fruchttod
Zur Kenntnis des Vorkommens von multiplen Thrombosen bei Säuglingen.
Authors: RANSTRÖM S. 
Published: January 2008

Zusammenfassung.Kurze Beschreibung eines Palles von multiplen Thrombosen bei einem 8½ Monate alten Säugling mit einer während des ganzen Lebens bestehenden hypochromen Anämie, unbeeinflusst von chronischer Fe‐Medikation, und mit Rachitis trotz kräftiger Überdosierung von D‐Vitamin (20 000 IE × 3 während beinahe der ganzen Lebenszeit). Die Lokalisationen der Thrombosen waren folgende: Sinus longitudinalis superior, Confluens sinuum und die hinteren Teile der Sinus transversi sowie der Vena Galeni; mehrere Pialvenen mit Subarachnoidealblutungen und hämorrhagischen Eindeninfarkten; Vena cava inferior, von einem Punkte unmittelbar distal von der Einmündung der Venae hepaticae beginnend und in so gut wie sämtlichen gröberen Venenstämmen bis in die Beine hinab verbreitend; Venae renales mit hämorrhagischem Totalinfarkt der linken Mere. Ausgehend von der Venacava‐Thrombose eine Embolie in der rechten Arteria pulmonalis mit einem anämischen Infarkt des rechten Lungenunterlappens. Weitere Obduktionsbefunde waren doppelseitige Pneumonien, rechtsseitiges Empyema pleurae und doppelseitige eitrige Mittelohrentzündungen.—Bei den zur Verfügung stehenden Angaben ist es schwer, sich mit Bestimmtheit über die Ätiologie der Thrombosen zu äussern. Es wird eine infektiös‐toxische Auslösung der Prozesse bei dem durch die Anämie prädisponierten Kinde angenommen. Die eventuelle Bedeutung der Überdosierung von D‐Vitamin für die Thrombenbildung wird besprochen.—Einleitungsweise wird eine kurze Literaturübersicht gegeben.
A case of the Klippel‐Feil Syndrome (Congenital Synostosis of the Cervical Vertebrae)
Authors: RINVIK ROALO 
Published: January 2008

Summary.Report of a case of synostosis of the cervical column associated with marked spinae bifidae. A characteristic feature of the case was the extensive occiptal spina bifida. The patient exhibited further a cleft pelvis of the kidney and certain peculiar subcutaneous alterations. The intelligence of the child was normal.
Acute Benign Mononuclear Meningitis1
Authors: JACOBSSON ERIK 
Published: January 2008

Summary.Following a brief review of our present knowledge of acute benign mononuclear meningitis an account is given of 25 cases treated at the Gothenburg Children's Hospital since 1922 and a brief summary is appended of the case histories for the cases reported during the past 15 years. (For cases before 1929 reference may be made to Gunther's work.) The relations of the disease to especially poliomyelitis and encephalitis are discussed, it being claimed that no absolutely certain connexion between them has hitherto been demonstrated. The experiences gained from the present material likewise give no reliable support for such a connexion. The disease is not characterized by any specific sex‐ or age‐distribution. Nor is the accumulation of cases in the autumn or spring cited by some authors confirmed by this material, which is distributed fairly uniformly over the whole year. As a rule, the course of the disease is very rapid and benign, both in respect of subjective and objective symptoms. There is no specific therapy, and nor is any necessary. Sulphathiazol and similar preparations can no doubt be avoided as a rule without being missed. The disease does not give rise to any future detriment in spite of the presence of minor symptoms of suppression in some cases.
Allergic purpura with hypoprothrombinemia
Authors: NJÅ ARNE 
Published: January 2008

Summary.A short description of the conception of disease compiled by SEIDLMAYER: »Die frühinfantile, postinfektiöse Kokarden‐Pur‐pura.« The disease occurs in infancy and childhood, up to the age of three years. Most often it is associated with catarrhal infections. It manifests itself through eruption of characteristic purpuric efflorescences, essentially localized to the extensor surfaces of the extremities, and the face, besides urticarial eruptions and a tendency to localized edemata. A case of purpura of this type is referred. Of special interest in this patient were two relations, viz.:1. An unusually strong, hemorrhagic cutaneous reaction to pneumococci, suggesting an infectious‐allergic genesis.2. A very greatly prolonged prothrombin time (more than five minutes), which could be demonstrated as long as the tendency of hemorrhage existed, and became normal at the same time as the hemorrhages ceased. The possibility of hypoprothrombinemia as a eontributary cause of the hemorrhages is discussed.
Ober Höckerbildung in den Schädelknochen bei schweren Anaemien der Kinder
Authors: LIAKKA VUOKKO 
Published: January 2008

Zusammenfassung.Bei schweren anaemischen Zuständen bei Kindern trifft man manchmal besonders starke, höckerartige Verdickungen in den Schädelknochen, speziell in den Scheitelbeinen (übertriebenes Caput quadrattim). Ein schwerer Pall von Anaemia haemolytica bei einem 13‐jährigen Mädchen wird genauer beschrieben.Diese Knochenhöeker sind – wie YLPPÖ es bei seinen Studien über Frühgeburten dargetan hat – als Produkte einer Reaktion des Knochengewebes auf infolge krankhafter Blutneubildung im Knochenmark entstehende Reize anzusehen.
Acute Macrocytic Anemia in the Newborn1(with Special Reference to its Relation to Erythroblastosis Foetalis)
Authors: HEINILD. SVEND 
Published: January 2008

Summary.An account is given of a family in which 3 normal parturitions with normal children were followed by 5 unsuccessful pregnancies, partly with abortions, partly with extreme anemia in the newborn within the first days of life. The parents did not have syphilis. The anemia was of macrocytic character, and in 2 of the 3 cases it terminated fatally, while in one case there was complete clinical and hematological restitution. One of the cases is described in detail, with autopsy findings. Clinically and serologically (the mother is Eh‐negative, but with a very strong anti‐Eh agglutinin) this case reminded of erythroblastosis foe‐talis, but the hematological and histological findings spoke decisively against this diagnosis. On this account the case is taken to be an instance of acute macrocytic anemia.The relation between the two diagnoses is discussed.
Two Cases of Hermaphroditismus Femininus
Authors: NORDAHL IVAR 
Published: January 2008

SUMMARYTwo cases of hermaphroditismus verus. The cases are almost congruent. The patients are, practically speaking, of the same age. Both have greatly enlarged clitoris, persistent sinus urogenitalis, hyperplasia of the suprarenals and malformation of the external genitals. As to the cause of death it is difficult to say anything definite. One of the patients had an infection of the urinary ducts, but can hardly be thought to have been lethal. In the other case no infection was noted. As to whether endocrine anomalies may have been the cause of death it is impossible to express any opinion.
Purpura fulminans1
Authors: HEINILD SVEND 
Published: January 2008

SUMMARYA brief historical outline is given of the development of the concept of purpura fulminans, and the differential diagnosis is mentioned.The writer reports the case of a previous healthy, sucking infant, 3 weeks old, who died within 48 hours after the appearance of the first symptoms of the lesion. Autopsy revealed the presence of a streptococcal sepsis, presumably originating from an infected diaper rash.On the basis of the literature, it is pointed out that it is most likely that the classical purpura fulminans usually, perhaps always, is an expression of a streptococcal sepsis. The therapeutic consequence of this will be at once ‐ at the very first observation of the lesion ‐ to institute an energetic chemotherapy; and treatment with penicillin should never be omitted.
Prognosis in Sympathoblastoma
Authors: van CREVELD S. , van DAM R. 
Published: January 2008

SUMMARYA girl of nearly two years old had a tumor in the right renal region, which after the findings at operation and the result of the histological examination provisionally was regarded to be a sarcoma. An unfavourable prognosis was given. However, five years later the general condition of the girl was excellent and no tumor could be felt in the abdomen. This gave reason to reexamine the old slides and it appeared necessary to modify the former diagnosis in that of sympathoblastoma. The prognosis of this sympathoblastoma is discussed, in consideration also of a number of publications on this subject. The conclusion is drawn that this prognosis need not be absolutely unfavourable.
On Brachyoesophagus
Authors: WAMBERG. ERIK 
Published: January 2008

SUMMARYThe writer reports 4 eases of brachyoesophagus and briefly mentions the theories advanced regarding its etiology as well as the histological findings.Vomiting is the main symptom. It may appear immediately after birth or in the course of the first weeks of life, though some‐times not until solid food is taken. A characteristic symptom is daily vomiting occurring during meals. The vomitus is alimentary, slimy, rarely bloody, and the food is returned without effort. Frequently the course is periodical.Complications are: (1) Spasm at the site of the cardia with secondary dilatation, and (2) peptic ulcer of the oesophagus.Stress is laid upon the necessity of performing an X‐ray examination, and the technique of the latter is described.The treatment consists in frequent, small meals of a fluid diet, supplemented with administration of phenemal. In addition, older children should be given large quantities of water after meals in order to prevent oesophagitis.
Studies on Diphtheria. 1. The decrease of natural antitoxic immunity against diphtheria.
Authors: VAHLQUIST BO 
Published: January 2008

SUMMARYThe results from recent years of Schick tests and antitoxin determinations in the blood clearly demonstrate that the situation in regards to natural immunity against diphtheria nowadays is most unsatisfactory in many countries of Europe. In Sweden the number of Schick negative individuals among non‐immunized adults does not exceed 10 %. As a consequence the newborns only infrequently demonstrate that passive immunity, which was formerly assumed to be the rule. In spite of the unfavourable immunological situation an epidemic of diphtheria in Sweden during the war rapidly subsided. Large scale immunization contributed to the outcome. The author forwards the theory that special conditions with respect to the growth conditions for the diphtheria bacilli in the throat might have been of even greater importance.
Granulocytopenia in Children
Authors: SALOMONSEN LEIF 
Published: January 2008

SUMMARYA short survey is given on the different forms of granulocytopenia in children. In this connection a case of benign granulocytopenia of 1½ years' duration in a one year old child is reported. In the authors opinion, chronic, benign granulocytopenia in children of the age of about one year should be considered as a separate disease, characterized by the symptoms indicated in the five aforementioned items.
Über Encephalitis postvaccinalis
Authors: LANGE CORNELIA DE 
Published: January 2008

SUMMARYIn May 1947 an epidemic of encephslitis postvaccinalis occurred in the Dutch province of Noord Brabant. The population had been vaccinated on a large scale on account of a case of smallpox in the neighbouring Belgian town of Luik.The author has investigated the brains of three children who died of encephalitis (after primo‐vaccination). One of the cases ran a lightning course. Post mortem only hyperemia of the brain was found and a slight infiltration of some vessel‐walls with uninuclear elements. This represents the first stadium of the process. As a second stadium one may regard a rarefication of the parencliyma round the bloodvessels with a slight infiltration with microglia and with cells somewhat larger with broader protoplasma than the microglial cells. In the third stadium this infiltration becomes more dense and there is demyelinisxtion. No communis opinio exists us to the fact whether the glinl reaction or the demyelinisation comes first. The author on account of her investigetion, inclines to the opinion, that it is the glial reaction. The histological pictures do not give any help in deciding the question, whether it is the vaccinia‐virus itself, which is the cause of the encephalitis, or whether a latent virus in the brain is activated by the vaccination or lastly if an antigen‐ antibody reaction exists. Study of the literature on encephalitis following vaccination against small‐pox proves that it is wrong to call the disease a leucoencephalitis, as in several cases the grey matter also has been severely damaged. Neither is the process always diffuse. Large territories may be spared even so that the histological pictures resemble those of sclerosis multiplex. On the other hand there arc no parts of the brain, which are spared in every case of encephalitis post vaccinalis.
A case of concurrent vomiting in a child with electrical cerebral dysrythmia
Authors: GRAM LARS 
Published: January 2008

SummaryIt is given an account of a case of recurrent vomiting in a girl of 8 years. She have had her symptoms from the age of 2 years with frequent attacks of vomiting lasting several days, Her symptoms resembled closely the findings in cases of acetonemic vomiting except that the degree of acetonemia was very low and came on after the vomiting had begun. During the attacks there was a complete retention in the stomach, but when the vomitings had ceased the roentgenological findings where normal. Electroence phalography showed an electrical cerbral dysrhythmia and the condition of the patient was explained as beeing a visceral epileptic equivalent. As the recurrent vomiting of the patient showed close relationship to acetonemic vomiting it is argued that one ought to make an electroencephalography in similar cases.
