    Additional congenital anomalies in babies with gut atresia or stenosis: when to investigate, and which investigation (1997)

    Notes: Abstract A wide variety of additional congenital anomalies occur in babies born with a gut atresia or stenosis. The specific pattern of anomalies depends on the location of the atresia. The serious nature of many of them makes perioperative diagnosis imperative. Eighty-six babies born with pure oesophageal atresia (OA), duodenal atresia (DA) or stenosis, or jejuno-ileal atresia (JIA) have been studied. These, combined with over 2,000 cases in the literature, have been used to develop a protocol to optimally investigate babies with gut atresia for associated anomalies. The authors recommend routinely obtaining anterio-posterior and lateral chest and abdominal radiographs for babies with pure OA, DA and intestinal atresia, making sure the entire spine can be visualised. Cardiac and renal ultrasonography (US) should be routine in all babies with pure OA or DA. A micturating cystourethrogram should be done in those babies with abnormal urinary tract US or an associated anorectal anomaly. A sweat test should be obtained in babies with JIA, and a rectal biopsy should be taken in babies with the combination of Down's syndrome and DA to exclude Hirschsprung's disease.

    Is a normally functioning gastrointestinal tract necessary for normal growth in late gestation? (1997)

    Notes: Abstract It is known that neonates with congenital abnormalities of the intestine tend to be growth-retarded. We wished to explore the hypothesis that normal fetal gut function is needed for normal growth in late gestation. If this is true, then different populations of babies with different congenital gut abnormalities would be expected to have similar impairments of growth and be small at birth. This growth retardation would be more marked in term than in preterm babies and would be independent of other congenital anomalies. To test these hypotheses, we examined 43 babies born with gastroschisis (GS) in Auckland, New Zealand; 69 babies born with GS in Birmingham, England; and 60 babies born with intestinal atresia (IA) in Auckland. For Auckland babies with GS, the mean weight standard deviation score (WSDS) (i.e., birth weight relative to the mean birth weight for gestation) for term babies was lower than that for preterm babies (−0.932±0.180 vs −0.064±0.237, P=0.014). This was also true for Birmingham babies with GS (−0.991±0.193 vs −0.36 ±0.153, P=0.028). For babies with IA, the mean WSDS for term babies was lower than that for preterm babies (−0.627±0.266 vs 0.057±0.211, P=0.034). There was no significant difference between the mean WSDS of babies with and without major congenital abnormalities (−0.402±0.201 vs −0.271, P=0.70). Our results demonstrate that term babies born with GS are significantly growth-retarded compared with premature babies born with GS. Term babies born with a proximal IA are also growth-retarded. This strongly suggests that in late gestation, the normal growth is dependent on a normally functioning gastrointestinal tract that allows exposure of the proximal intestinal mucosa to ingested amniotic fluid.

    Estimation of components of genetic variance and heritability for flowering time and yield in gerbera using Derivative-Free Restricted Maximum Likelihood (DFRML) (1993)

    Notes: Summary Additive genetic components of variance and narrow-sense heritabilities were estimated for flowering time (FT) and cut-flower yield (Y) for six generations of the Davis Population of gerbera using Derivative-Free Restricted Maximum Likelihood (DFRML). Additive genetic variance accounted for 54% of the total variability for FT and 30% of the total variability for Y. The heritability of FT (0.54) agreed with previous ANOVA-based estimates. However, the heritability of Y (0.30) was substantially lower than estimates using ANOVA. The advantages of DFRML and its applications in the estimation of components of genetic variance and heritabilities of plant populations are discussed.
