Des cas notés de troubles de conduite nerveux chez des élèves dans la période commençante d'un district scolaire de Göteborg.
Authors: GEDDA E. 
Published: January 2008

SUMMARYThe investigation is based on a series of reports on nervous disturbances of behaviour recorded on the health registers of pupils of the elementary grades of one of the Gothenburg school districts for the school years 1945–46 and 1946–47. The average ape of the children was 7 years. The information with reference to the nervous disturbances was in 20 per cent of the cases made by the parents' personally at the first medical school examination, in 13 per cent it was given in the form of answers in a questionnaire relevant to the child's state of health and familial conditions. Furthermore, the teachers have reported such nervous disturbances in 9 per cent of the children and in 2 per cent they were revealed at the routine school medical examination. The 879 pupils of the series have not been subjected to other examinations or questioning than that routinary in the Gothenburg elementary schools.

Investigations into the Connection between Antenatal Weight and Hydrocele testis in Infants
Authors: SØRENSEN HANS RAHBEK 
Published: January 2008

SUMMARYAmong 27 613 living male children discharged from the department there were 484 cases of Hydrocele testis; in 31.0 % of these cases the antenatal weight was over 3800 g compared with 17.7 % in a control material of 5 593 living male children discharged. The aetiological factors concerned in hydrocele are considered and the author finds no support for the suggestion that syphilis, albuminuria in the mother or labour trauma have anything to do with its aetiology; no reason for the increased frequency among large children can be found.
Choline in Plasma in Children, with a study of induced choline deficiency
Authors: BRANTE GUNNAR , SÖDERHJELM LARS 
Published: January 2008

SUMMARYThe total choline content (= mainly lipid bound choline) in plasma in children is the same as in adults, or 18–32 mg%. In new born babies it is only 7–14 mg%, whereas in acute nephritis in children there is often an elevation of all lipid components of plasma including the choline containing.An attempt to provoke choline deficiency in an infant through giving large doses of glycocyamine did not, in spite of great labile methyl losses, lead to any changes of the choline content of plasma, but gave a mild fatty liver with normal choline content in the phospholipid fraction. The plasma phosphatase was slightly increased and there was a tendency to positive thymol‐ and cephalin flocculation tests but for the rest no signs of impaired liver or kidney function. A choline deficiency in man probably appears only in very unfavourable circumstances.
Antistaphylolysin Titre in School Children
Authors: TUNEVALL QÖSTA 
Published: January 2008

SUMMARY109 children 7 to 16 years of age, all free from clinically manifested staphylococcal infection, were examined for the presence of pathogenic staphylococci in the throat and their antistaphylolysin titre was determined. 63 % of the children were found to be carriers of staphylococci. 72 % of them had ASta values between 0.56 and 2.0 international units per ml, 23 % had lower values and only 5 % had higher values. The frequency of high ASta values was considerably larger in the carrier group than in the non‐carriers. A certain tendency to coincidence of staphylococcal and streptococcal infections was demonstrated by the fact that high antistreptolysin titres were more common among children with ASta values over 1.0 than in those not exceeding that level (25 viz. 9 %).
Two Cases of Congenital Malformations after Exposure to Measles in Early Pregnancy of Already Immune Mothers
Authors: HAGSTRÖMER ANDERS 
Published: January 2008

SUMMARYA report is given of two cases of congenital malformations in infants, whose siblings had suffered from measles during the second month of their mothers' pregnancy. The mothers, themselves, were not affected by measles at this time but had had the disease in childhood.The malformations in question were in one case cheilo‐palato‐schisis and in the other palato‐schisis, micrognathy and a rudimentary ear.It seems worth while bearing in mind a possible causal relationship between prenatal exposure to measles and congenital malformations.
Congenital Varices of the Esophagus
Authors: JORUP SIGVARD 
Published: January 2008

SUMMARYIn connection with the description of a case of congenital varices of the esophagus in a child, the author bas reviewed the literature on the subject and reached the conclusion that two or three of the previously reported cases were congenital while the others must be ruled out from this point of view. A number of criteria are set up for recognizing congenital varices of the esophagus.
Toxoplasmosis in Children. With reference to one particular case
Authors: ENGLESON GUNNAR 
Published: January 2008

SUMMARYThe writer gives an account of a typical case of congenital toxoplasmosis of a girl 2½ years old.An investigation revealed that both the mother and the father as well as the maternal grandmother, all of whom were clinically healthy, revealed positive neutralization tests against toxoplasma. The remaining examined members of the family were negative, except for an aunt who showed uncertain reaction.The mother is again pregnant. Sulfathiazole treatment of the mother has been started.

Authors: GRANRUD HELGE B. 
Published: January 2008

SummaryThe frequency of mortality, relapses and complications from scarlet fever during 3 epidemics in Oslo in the years 1890–1947 has been investigated in all 5 100 cases. The mortality and replapses have decreased at an equal rate, the mortality from 7.8 per cent t 0.0.0 per cent and the relapses from 5.8 per cent in 1937 to 0.4 per cent in 19‐17. The frequency of complications has decreased only with regard to the cardiac complications and nephritis. The material indicates that during all these years the frequency of the other complications has remained high up to the introduction of penicillin in spite of the fact that the primary coursej has apparently been milder.RésuméLa fréquence de mortalité, de rechutes et de complications dans la scarlatine, durant 3 épidémies à Oslo, de 1890 à 1947, a été l'objet d'un edamen, en tout 5100 cas.

La fréquence des complications ne diminue que dans les cas de complications cardianques et de néphrites. La Matière d'étude montre que durant toutes ces années jusqu'à l'introduction de la jpénicilline, la fréquence d'autres complications est restée constamment élevée bien que le cours primaire de la scarlatine soit de venu visiblement plus bénin.ZusammenfassungMortalität, Recidiv und Komplikationen bei Scharlach während 3 Epidemien in den Jahren 1890–1947 waren Gegenstand einer Untersuchung bei zusammen 5100 Fällen. Mortalität und Recidive haben gleich viel abgenommen, die Mortalität von 7.8% zu 0.0% und die Recidive von 5.8 1937 zu 0.4% 1947. Die Häufigkeit der Komplikationen verminderte sich nur in Bezug auf jHerzkomplikationen und Nephritiden. Das Material zeigt, dass die Häufigkeit anderer Komplikationen in allen diesen Jahren bis zur Ennführung des Penicillins anhaltend hoch ist trotz der Tatsache, dass der primäre Verlauf des Scharlachs offensichtlish leichter geworden ist.ResumenSe ha examinado la frecuencia de mortalidad, relapsos y complicationes a causa de escarlatina, durante tres epidemias que hubo en Oslo entre 1890 y 1947, en total 5100 casos. La mortalidad y los relapsos disminuyen (mortalidad de 7.8% a 0.0% y repspsos de 5.8 en 1937 a 0.4% en 1947). La frecuencia de complicationes disminuye por lo que toca a complicacioines cardíacas y nefritis. El material examinado muestra que la frecuencia de las otras complicationes ha sido muy alta hasta la introducción de la penicilina, a pesar de que el curso primario de la escarlatina es aparentemente más suave.

Unusual Case of Anemia Gravis in a Newborn Infant1
Authors: UHRBRAND H. , OHLSEN A. SØEBORG , FREIESLEBEN E. 
Published: January 2008

SummaryA case of severe megaloblastic anemia (hemoglobin: 20 %) in a 7 day old boy is described. The etiology is unknown. Blood group incompatibility cannot have been the cause, as mother and child were both Rh‐positive with identical Rh‐genotypes and the child belonged to group 0. Intoxication as well as syphilis and other infections seemed to be out of question.Blood transfusions were effective, whereas the effect of liver therapy was not convincing. The child recovered in 2 months.
Ectodermal Dysplasia
Authors: JAMES THEODORE 
Published: January 2008

SummaryTwo case reports of ectodernial dysplasia in two females are presented. One case is believed to be the first reported with evidence of direct descent from mother to daughter. The other is a case of the mendelian dominant type. The submission is made that the anhydrotic type is not necessarily always a sex‐linked recessive manifestation in males but that both types, anhydrotic sex‐linked recessive, and dominant, may. occur in each sex although more frequently in the male.
Pseudohypoparathyroidism
Authors: BlLLE BO S. V. 
Published: January 2008

SummarySince Albright et al. (1942) reported the first three cases of a syndrome, which they called pseudo‐hypoparathyroidism, about fifteen cases have been described. Another case of pseudo‐hypoparathyroidism is described. The patient was a girl, aged 9, with short, thick‐set figure, round face, stubby hands with shortness of all metacarpals except those of index fingers, soft tissue calcifications, low IQ, hyperphosphatemia and hypocalcemia. She has an imbecile uncle with the same habitus. After administration of parathyroid extract there was no phosphate diuresis response and a small but insignificant increase of serum calcium levels. Dihydrotachysterol, however, kept the serum calcium on a level of the lowest limit of the normal values.
Observations on the Cerebrospinal Fluid in Infantile Diarrhea
Authors: HALLMAN NllLO , TÄHKÄ HILKKA 
Published: January 2008

Summary1. A study of the cells in the spinal fluid, as well as Nonne and Pandy reactions, was made in 211 cases of infantile diarrhea of various degree of severity. — 2. The number of cells in C. S. F. was invariably (2–4 examinations) below 5 per cmm in 100 cases, and it was found to be increased at least once as follows: 6–10/cmm in 30 cases, 11–20/cmm in 35, 21–50/cmm in 29, 51–100/cmm in 7, and over 100/cmm in 11 cases. The changes were generally more extensive in the severe cases, but the difference between them and the mildest cases which did not exhibit any symptoms pertaining to the central nervous system, was not particularly significant. — The majority of the cells were diagnosed as lymphocytes. — 3. If the protein reactions are also taken into consideration, the spinal fluid was found within normal limits in only 13 patients. — 4. The age at onset, the weight of the infant as compared with the expected weight, the alkali reserve on admission and other simultaneous infections do not seem to have any noteworthy effect on changes in the spinal fluid. — 5. Changes were found to be more frequent in diarrhea produced by the Shigellas (35 cases) than in other cases due to an unknown causative agent. — 6. Bacterial staining and culture of the C. S. F. were negative in all cases.
The Relation of Breast Feeding Prognosis to the Initial Amount of Maternal Milk
Authors: SYDOW DERT v. 
Published: January 2008

SummaryIn a series of 1836 consecutive cases of infants with a birth weight of 3000 g or more, who had not shown any manifest defects during the first week of life and who after discharge with their mothers to their homes could be followed at least to the age of two months, the duration of breast feeding was compared with the amount of milk produced by the mother on the infant's sixth day of life. Duration of breast feeding was reckoned as the total time until the infant was definitely weaned from the breast. Those infants where the mother had delivered 200 ml of milk or less on the sixth day suffered considerably shorter periods of breast feeding than the rest, 44.1 per cent being weaned before 2 months of age against 6.6–0.6 per cent in the other groups, and only 22.1 per cent being breast fed for at least 6 months, as against 50–80 per cent in the groups with higher initial lactation. Those infants where the mother had been able to pump out at least 100 ml of milk beyond what the infant had sucked itself, were breast fed for a considerably longer time than the mean of the total series, and this applies to the group where the infant had been able to suck itself at least 300 ml as well as to the group where the infant had sucked not more than 200 ml. It seems, therefore, as if it would be possible to improve the prognosis of breast feeding in many cases by regular manual emptying of the breasts.

Dystrophy in Infancy and Its Effects on the Child's later Development
Authors: GRANRUD HELGE B. 
Published: January 2008

SummaryOf 53 children with dystrophy of a temporary nature in the first year of life, 50 were followed up and examined at the ages of 11–13 years. The dystrophy seems more serious when it occurs in the first three months of life but once the child is better it seems to recover rather more quickly than those who become ill between the 6th and 12th month. There were no demonstrable after‐effects on either the somatic development nor the development of the teeth. One child had a low I.Q. but it could not be considered due to his illness.
Present‐Day Tasks in Psychosocial Paediatrics1
Authors: HElNlLD SVEND 
Published: January 2008

SummaryThe concept of psychosocial paediatrics is defined on the basis of Segerstedt's investigations into family problems of our day and Halliday's investigations into social epidemiology. By including a psychosocial aspect in the examination of children referred for roborating light treatment (the Finsen Institute) or treatment at a hospital for deficient children (Kysthospitalet at Refsnaes) we have realized the importance of concentrating our attention on three different tasks in future paediatric work: social, pedagogic, and scientific. The practical result of this work is that the changed position of women in the home is demonstrated as a cause of illness in children. It is emphasized that an increased knowledge of the child's normal mental and physical growth and development may increase the chances of success by preventive paediatrics and by practical treatment of abnormal behaviour. A diagnostic system is suggested.
Hyaluronidase in the Urographic Examination of Children
Authors: GLADNIKOFF HERMAN , JACOBSSON ERIK 
Published: January 2008

SummaryA method for the urographies examination of children, especially those in the early years of life, is described. Treatment of the injection site with hyalas (Leo), dissolved in 0.5 per cent xylocaine (Astra), prepared the area so satisfactorily that the subsequent injection of contrast medium caused little pain and the resistance offered to the injection was lessened. The spread, absorption and consequently also the excretion of the dye were thus accelerated. A satisfactory concentration of dye in the ureters was thus obtained.
Late Prognosis in Asphyxia Neonatorum
Authors: HELLSTRÖM B. , JONSSON B. 
Published: January 2008

SummaryEightyfive children treated at a children's hospital for asphyxia neonatorum were subjected to a follow‐up examination. Eighteen died during the newborn period. Sixtyfive of the 67 survivals were followed up. Among them 18 showed signs of a permanent cerebral injury (spasticity, mental retardation, convulsions). The late prognosis was correlated to different clinical symptoms during the newborn period. Children with convulsions, changed tonus, bulging fontanel, reduced sucking capacity have a conspicuously bad prognosis.
Elephantiasis Congenita Angiomatosa
Authors: ENELL HERBERT , HAHN BIRGER 
Published: January 2008

SummaryAn account is given of eight cases of congenital elephantiasis with angiomatosis, in which no hereditary history of the disease was found. It is emphasized that a definite diagnosis can be made by means of histological examination, and that soft‐tissue radiography may often facilitate the diagnosis. The prognosis with regard to spontaneous regression is found to be poor, but the functional ability is usually relatively unimpaired. Various forms of therapy are discussed. In one of the four deaths, the cause was found to be malignancy of the growth.
Comparative Studies on the Bone‐marrow, Blood and Gastric Juice Culture of Tubercle Bacilli in Children
Authors: CHOREMIS C. , DANELATOU C. 
Published: January 2008

SummaryBone‐marrow (bm), blood (b) and gastric juice (gj) cultures have been taken from 51 cases of primary complex (bm. 11, b. 3, gj. 5 pos.), 9 cases of t.b. of serous membranes (bm. 3, b. 0, gj. 0 pos.), 9 cases of miliary tuberculosis (bm. 4, b. 0, gj. 2 pos.) and 16 cases of t.b. meningitis (bm. 8, b. 2, gj. 2 pos.). The practical and theoretical importance of these findings is discussed.
Electroencephalographic Studies of Asthmatic Children
Authors: HOLMGREN BÖRJE , KRAEPELIEN SVEN 
Published: January 2008

Summary1. One hundred children suffering from bronchial asthma, aged 2—15, without a hereditary predisposition for convulsive diseases, and without any convulsive manifestations of their own, were examined with regard to the occurrence of EEG changes.2. Pathological EEG of different degrees and types occurred in 36 cases.3. The type of EEG changes comprised partly a slow dysrhythmia — in about 2/3 of the cases most evident occipitally — partly focal spikes or sharp waves, in 3 cases, and general waves and spike episodes in another 3 cases.4. The occurrence of an allergic heredity, the duration of the asthma and the age of onset showed no correlation to the occurrence of EEG changes.5. The degree of severity of the asthma seems to have a certain relation to the occurrence of pathological EEG.
Unilateral Skin Vessel Crises in the Newborn
Authors: HERLITZ GILLIS 
Published: January 2008

SummaryThe causal mechanism of two types of cerebral birth injury – hemorrhages and the hypoxemic ganglion cell lesions – is discussed in connection with four cases of unilateral skin vessel crises in infants during the first months of life. At birth and during the initial postnatal period all the infants had been in a state of universal cyanosis, but, with one exception, they did not present any signs of a brain lesion. Within a period of 4 to 28 days after birth sudden attacks of severe pallor or redness occurred all over one half of the body, with sharp delimitation in the median line. The author has not been able to find similar observations in the literature. It is thought to be due to minor brain lesions occurring during delivery and located in or near the supraseg‐mental autonomic centres in the medulla or the hypothalamus.
Pseudoprematurity
Authors: SÖDERLING BERTIL 
Published: January 2008

SummaryThe importance of distinguishing between prematurity and pseudoprematurity is stressed. The author criticizes the practice of equalizing low weight and immaturity. This is important from the point of view of theoretical research, and no less from that of practical treatment. A desire to consume is often suppressed, and various delays in development (e.g., in the capacity to regulate the body temperature) will then result. Teamwork research regarding the origination of pseudoprematurity should be intensified.
Does Prophylactic Vaccination Favour the Development of Poliomyelitis?
Authors: CHOREMIS C. , NICOLAIDES PH. 
Published: January 2008

SummarySeventy six cases of poliomyelitis have been admitted in St. Sophie Children's Hospital during the autumn of 1950. In seventeen of them there was a history of previous vaccination with mixed vaccine (pertussis‐tetanus‐diphtheria). The interval between vaccination and the appearance of paralysis was 2–14 days. In 75 % of the cases the paralysis occurred in the vaccinated limb.
