Tuberculin Hemagglutination Studies in Active Tuberculous Infections, Benign and Virulent1
Authors: PETERSON J. C. , LAGERCRANTZ R. , ROLLOF S.I. , LINO J. 
Published: January 2008

Summary

We have presented in a preliminary form the results of observations on the tuberculin hemagglutination test in relation to the dynamic development of the represented antibody in infants vaccinated in the neonatal period and in infants and children vaccinated at a period of time remote to the neonatal period.
We have also examined the dynamic development of the hemagglutinating antibody in patients with primary tuberculosis, and have made some preliminary observations as to the relationship of the amount of antibody formed and the severity of the primary infection.
Some aspects of the significance of these observations have been discussed, particularly the failure of infants to develop antibody during the first year after B. C. G. vaccination and the subsequent appearance of antibody among those infants when they reside in homes with a history of tuberculous infection.

Electro‐Encephalographic Findings in Children, Previously Treated for Asphyxia Neonatorum
Authors: 'AVIGNON M. , KEILSON I. 
Published: January 2008

SummaryAt follow‐up examination of 61 children subjected to postnatal treatment for asphyxia neonatorum in the newborn period, 44 disclosed electro‐encephalograpliie changes. Grave pathologic findings were only noted in children who, at the follow‐up, showed somatic and mental defects (14), while children with slight electro‐encephalo‐graphic changes (16) have developed well in all respects up to the age at which the follow‐up were performed, in spite of a neonatal asphyxia. The neonatal asphyxia in these cases is supposed to have produced organic cerebral injuries of such a degree or nature as to disclose no clinical, but simply electro‐encephalographic, changes.

The Cocarboxylase Content of the Blood in Children
Authors: RÄIHÄ C.‐E. , FORSANDER O. 
Published: January 2008

SummaryThe cocarboxylase content of blood in children has been investigated in 120 cases. The enzyme content decreases with advancing age up to 7 years and is thereafter constant. There seems to be a correlation between the cocarboxylase content of the blood at different ages and the blood picture. We feel, however, that metabolic factors interfere with this correlation.
Children of Diabetic Mothers Electrocardiographic Studies in the Newborn
Authors: BjÖRKLUND STIG‐IVAR 
Published: January 2008

SummaryIn the belief that the adrenal hyperplasia often seen in the children of diabetic mothers is associated with hyperfunction of the adrenal glands and that it may disturb the electrolyte balance and thereby also disturbs cardiac function, 15 children of diabetic mothers were examined. The investigation included an analysis of serial electrocardiograms traced in the neonatal period. In 4 cases the serum potassium was also determined. Abnormal electrocardiograms were seen in 11 cases. The electrocardiographic changes resembled those seen in hypopotassemia. The cause of this disturbance of the electrolyte metabolism is discussed.
A Creatinin Tolerance Test for Renal Function
Authors: SUNDAL ALFRED 
Published: January 2008

SummaryThe creatinin slope in blood plasma after an oral creatinin load is a test which. gives important information about kidney function. Without needing urine collection–a procedure often difficult in infants and also in some cases with urinary disease even when collected by catheter–the blood creatinin fall gives values corresponding to the exogenous creatinin clearance test, and also to the endogenous creatinin clearance test, provided the patient is not in a pre‐oedematous or oedematous stage. The author gives the values for creatinin fall in the blood in healthy children and in patients with decreased kidney function after an empirically chosen creatinin load.
Coeliac Disease Criticism of the Various Methods of Investigation
Authors: WEIJERS H. A. , KAMER J. H. VAN DE 
Published: January 2008

SummaryThe value is discussed of various methods generally used in the assessment of disturbed fat absorption: microscopical and chemical determination of fat in faeces, expressed or not with regard to dry substance or calculated as coefficient of absorption, the measuring of a lipaemia or the determination of a vitamin A tolerance curve. Only the coefficient of absorption appears to be a good standard of measurement for the judging of disturbed fat absorption. To explain steatorrhoea besides an absorption disturbance, fat excretion in the intestines must also be taken into account.
Acute Blindness as Post‐Measles Complication
Authors: STRÖM TORBJÖRN 
Published: January 2008

SummaryA six year old boy, six days after the outbreak of measles exanthema and an otherwise normal course of measles, became blind overnight. On admittance to hospital he was amaurotic, otherwise afebrile and subjectively in good health. The cerebrospinal fluid and electroencephalograms provided evidence of encephalitis. Examination of the eyes showed fundal lesions dominated by markedly reduced arteries, pronounced retinal oedema and small hemorrhages. Five similar cases are briefly reported from the literature. Compared with the pronounced vascular lesions of the brain found in measles encephalitis, it is assumed that the disease picture may be attributed to encephalitis localized to the eyes as a phylogenetic part of the brain.
On Psychogenic Obesity in Children. III
Authors: QUAADE FLEMMING 
Published: January 2008

SummaryAccordingly my principal argument can be laid down as follows:1) obesity in childhood must have an alimentary cause,2) obesity in children seems to be a not very specific manifestation, provoked by such numerous incompatible and complicated psychological components as decide the attitude of the children and their surroundings concerning the taking and giving of food. Most important are the qualitative and quantitative dietary habits of the surroundings, and they are presumably founded on geography, ethnology, popular hygienics, and religion.3) hence etiology should be sought in each separate case and therapeutic endeavours adapted accordingly; the latter probably aiming at nutrio‐hygienic instruction of the child and its surroundings, plus psycho‐therapeutic treatment in such cases where mental difficulties caused by obesity should require it.4) Prophylactic measures against adiposity in childhood should presumably consist in intensified nutrio‐hygienic education of the population generally.
The Problem of Oedema in Infantile Malnutrition
Authors: KERPEL‐FRONIUS E. , VARGA F. 
Published: January 2008

SummaryIn contrast to the semistarved adult in our material of severely wasted infants oedema occurred only in about 2 % of all cases. Oedema was conspicuously rare in this material because severe hypoproteinaemia and osmotic hypotension were exceptional, elevated venous pressure rare, dehydration frequent and because renal clearances were very low only in cases complicated by dehydration. Although extracellular body fluid increases percentually, this does not promote oedema formation because in infants effects of posture, i.e. gravity, obviously do not operate. The aetiology of malnutrition in infancy has a bearing on oedema formation inasmuch as the latter is frequent in those type in which hypoproteinaemia is apt to develop; such types are the following: “Mehlnahrschaden”, “wartime” and “tropical” malnutrition, and Leiner's disease. The latter types of “hypoproteinaemic” malnutrition are rather exceptional in present day hospital material hence the rarity of oedema.
On Psychogenic Obesity in Children. IV
Authors: TOLSTRUP KAI 
Published: January 2008

SummaryForty obese children form the basis for a clinical investigation of the possible aetio‐logical singnifieance of psychogenesis, with particular reference to HILDE BRUCH'S theory on the aetiology of obesity. Compared with a control group of forty children of normal weight, food intake proved in quality to correspond with the characteristic carbo‐hydrate diet common to the investigated parts. However, the obese children eat considerably greater quantities than the non‐obese ones. Bodily activity was extraordinarily poor for 13 obese children. The aetiological criteria are discussed. On these criteria the material is divided into three groups: 1) seven cases of certain psycho‐genesis. Three of these were of the type described by BRUCH, 4 displayed other psychogenic patterns; 2) eleven children where psychogenesis was probable, but it could not be proved for certain; 3) a group of 22 children, where psychogenesis was not demonstrable. Taken as a whole the obesity of these children could be satisfactorily explained by the family eating‐habits, the pleasure they took in eating rich, carbohydrate food in great quantities.The results are compared to BRUCH'S. The conclusion is that adiposity in my material does not present a uniform pathological picture from a psychogenic point of view. The aetiology extends from bad family eating‐habits, by way of uncertain cases with elements of probable psychogenesis, to cases where different kinds of psychogenesis can be proved. Finally I emphasize the point of including constitutional consideration when debating the problem of aetiology.
Intracutaneous and Percùtaneous BCG‐Vaccination
Authors: EILERSEN PREBEN 
Published: January 2008

SummaryOf 357 vaccinated children 167 were vaccinated by percutaneous scarifications and 190 by intracutaneous injection. One hundred and thirty‐four have been followed systematically from week to week by Moro patch test and 68 by Mantoux test. The individuals intracutaneously and percutaneously vaccinated turned positive at approximately the same time. The local changes at the site of vaccination have been followed. No major changes were observed in individual scarification vaccination except for redness, infiltration and perhaps a little secretion. Intradermal vaccination was very often followed by suppuration and in separated cases abscesses. One hundred and sixty‐five were post‐examined by Moro and Mantoux. No certain difference in the allergy obtained was demonstrated. The scars have been inspected. In individual cases with scarification vaccination none or only insignificant scars were found. In individuals subjected to intradermal vaccination visible scars were often found, in more cases even thickened, disfiguring scars.
Persistence of Tuberculin Sensitivity in BCG Vaccinated Persons Isolated in Institutions
Authors: WASZ‐HÖCKERT OLE , DONNER MÄRTA 
Published: January 2008

SummaryA preliminary report is given on investigations into the duration of sensitivity to tuberculin of 217 BCG vaccinated inmates of closed institutions. Both the inmates and the staff were under strict observation for tuberculosis. The results obtained are as follows:1. The isolated milieu has been effective in excluding the risk of tuberculous infection. No increased allergy suggestive of super‐infection was observed.2. The patients examined were vaccinated with BCG vaccine from the Bacteriological Laboratory of Sahlgrenska Sjukhuset, Gothenburg. 0.1 ml containing 0.05 mg of BCG organisms was injected intracutaneously into the left thigh. 96.4 per cent of those vaccinated were positive at the check‐up.3. The tuberculin reaction has been taken as negative if smaller than 10×10 mm 72 hours after the injection of 1.0 mg Mantoux.4. Two cases in which Koch's phenomenon was observed were excluded from the material.5. After 1 year 7.3 per cent had become negative, after 2 years 16.0 per cent, after 21/2 years 28.3 per cent and after 31/2 years 29.4 per cent.6. Mantoux test 0.01, 0.1 and 1.0 mg on the vaccinated showed that allergy to tuberculin, on the whole, declined with time, which supports the above result.

Plasma Electrolytes in the Neonatal Period
Authors: STRENGERS TH. , MAAS JOHANNA W. , ROTTINGHUIS H. , FEHMERS G. A. 
Published: January 2008

Summary1. The plasma Na, K, CI and CO2 levels were determined in 32 full‐term and 30 premature infants, from the 1st to the 7th day inclusive.2. The full‐term infants showed on the first day a slight acidosis which disappeared gradually in a few days. The other values were the same as in adults.3. The premature infants showed a normal Na and a slightly high K content, but they had a distinct hyperchloraemic acidosis, which remained stationary during the first week.4. The acidosis on the first day is ascribed to residual effects of an anaerobic metabolism in utero or during birth. The hyperchloraemic acidosis of the premature infants is ascribed to the physiological immaturity of the kidney with respect to the chloride clearance.5. The electrolyte values in premature infants showed a large dispersion, which points to the lability of the premature infant in maintaining the equilibrium of plasma electrolytes.
Breast or Cow's Milk as Infant Food Discussion on the Methods of Comparison
Authors: SYDOW GERT v. , FAXÉN NILS 
Published: January 2008

SummaryIn order to find out whether breast milk feeding is superior to artificial foods for infants, one should first make sure that the groups for comparison are identical in all respects other than feeding: e.g., that one group does not get more careful nursing or better social surroundings than the other, that the supply of food is equally free or rationed in both groups, and that the risks of infection are the same. Such a comparison may best be carried out in a Children's Home where every other child is given collected breast milk, and the others artificial food, and where all the children are nursed together under equal risks of infection. As an example, a very limited investigation of this kind is described, where the number of days with a rise in temperature was found to be considerably higher in the cow's milk group than in the breast‐milk group.
Congenital Pyloric Stenosis as a Factor Predisposing to the Ulcer Syndrome
Authors: NIELSEN O. STEINICKE 
Published: January 2008

SummaryIn order to study whether peptic ulcer and gastritis occur more frequently in individuals with previous congenital pyloric stenosis than in others, the author has questioned 95 individuals (73 men and 22 women) between the ages of 25 and 45, who had all in early infancy been treated medically for cong. pyl. sten. in a children's hospital. Information was thus obtained on the present and previous states of health of the individuals, especially on possible dyspeptic complaints.Similarly a control group of 100 non‐selected hospitalized patients (77 men and 23 women) between the ages of 25 and 51 were questioned.In the starting series it was found that 28 per cent had gastritis or peptic ulcer against 12 per cent in the control group.Adults with previous cong. pyl. sten. thus presented a higher incidence of gastritis and peptic ulcer than the control group. In addition, the investigation revealed a considerably higher incidence of gastritis and peptic ulcer among the parents and siblings of the questioned subjects in the starting series than among the corresponding relatives in the control group.

SummaryA case of Adams‐Stokes syndrome following acute hemorrhage in an eight year old girl, is reported. A cardiac arrest lasting 12 seconds was recorded electrocardiographically. Later ECG's did not show any pathological features. The attacks ceased after a single intravenous transfusion of blood. Several authors warn against intravenous infusions during imminent or actual cardiac arrest, as these may cause pulmonary edema. In such cases the intra‐arterial route would be preferred.Syndrome d'Adams‐Stokes suite à une hémorragie aiguë chez une fillette de 8 ans.Un arrêt du cœur pendant 12 secondes a été enregistréà l'électrocardiographe.

Published: January 2008

SummaryA case of galactosaemia is reported. The patient was a 5‐month‐old girl with typical symptoms of the disease. The galactose tolerance was reduced, and galactose could be demonstrated in the urine both by chemical methods and by paper chromatography. The excretion of calcium and amino acids in the urine, and the protein content of the spinal fluid were increased. When milk was removed from the diet, considerable physical and mental development occurred and the cataract disappeared. The excretion of galactose and albumin in the urine ceased and the excretion of calcium and amino acids decreased.Galactosémie.Les auteurs rapportent un cas de galactosémie. Il s'agissait d'une fille de 5 mois présentant les symptomes typiques de la maladie. La tolérance au galactose était réduite et il était possible de mettre en évidence la présence de galactose dans les urines chimiquement et également par la méthode chromatique sur papier. L'excrétion du calcium et des aminoacides était augmentée dans les urines ainsi que l'albumine dans le L.C.R. On observa un développement considérable tant physique que mental et une disparition de la cataracte dès la suppression du lait de l'alimentation. L'excrétion du galactose et de l'albumine dans les urines cessa et l'excrétion du calcium et des aminoacides diminua.Galaktosämie.Es wird über einen Fall von Galaktosämie berichtet. Es handelte sich um ein 5 Monate altes Mädchen mit typischen Krankheitssymptomen.

Published: January 2008

SummaryA technique has been developed for evaluation of the rate of new formation (accretion) of bone salt in infants by means of P32. In the proximal part of the tibia shafts of normal infants the percentage of bone salt added through accretion was estimated to about 0.05 per cent per hour, i.e. about five times the net increase.Mesure de la formation des sels dans les os de nourrissons au moyen du P32.L'auteur a mis au point une technique pour évaluer par le P32 le degré de formation nouvelle (accroissement) de sel dans les os. On a évalué que le pourcentage de sels osseux ajouté par accroissement dans la partie proximale de la diaphyse du tibia chez des nourrissons normaux est d'environ 0,05 pour cent par heure, ce qui représente environ cinq fois l'augmentation nette.Bestimmung der Knochensalzbildung bei Säuglingen mit Hilfe von P32.Um die Neubildung von Knochensalzen bei Säuglingen zu bestimmen, ist mit Hilfe von P32 eine neue Technik entwickelt worden. Im proximalen Teil des Tibiaschaftes normaler Säuglinge wurde der Prozentsatz der durch Anlagerung hinzugekommenen Knochensalze auf ungefähr 0.05 % pro Stunde geschätzt, d. h. etwa fünfmal soviel wie die Nettozunahme.Formacion de sales oseas en el niño medidas por medio del P32Por medio del P32 se midió la tasa de neoformación (acresión) de sales óseas en niños.
