    Description / Table of Contents: Abstract Background. The pharynx, being part of the digestive as well as the respiratory system, is embedded in the complex spatial anatomy of the neck and, due to its function and location, represents a very sophisticated region. Diagnosis. Cross-sectional imaging with CT and MR imaging plays an indispensable complementary role to clinical work-up, as far as submucosal and deep cervical spaces are concerned. However, as dysphagia is a common symptom in clinical practice, interpretation of double contrast studies and videofluoroscopic investigations are also on frequent demand in the daily routine. Conclusion. Close interdisciplinary co-operation and the radiologist's familiarity with the anatomy of the region are required in order to use the diagnostic tools in an optimal fashion.
    Notes: Zusammenfassung Hintergrund. Der Pharynx repräsentiert, durch seine Funktion als Luft- und Speiseweg einerseits sowie durch seine Topographie in der komplexen Zervikalregion andererseits, ein äußerst differenziertes Organsystem. Bildgebungsverfahren. Neben den, in den letzten Jahren und Jahrzehnten einer rasanten Entwicklung unterworfenen, und in der Kopf-Hals-Radiologie unerlässlichen Schnittbildverfahren, spielen, gerade bei der Bildgebung des Pharynx, konventionelle Röntgenverfahren, welche eine dynamische Beurteilung der Funktion erlauben, weiterhin eine wichtige Rolle in der Diagnostik. Die Methoden der Bildgebung stellen somit heute, ergänzend zur klinischen Untersuchung, unumstritten das 2. Standbein in der Abklärung von Pathologien am Pharynx dar. Resümee. Dieses Zusammenwirken bietet dem Radiologen, entsprechend der Fragestellung nach funktionellen oder strukturellen Pathologien, ein vielfältiges Betätigungsfeld, erfordert gleichzeitig aber das grundlegende Verständnis der normalen Anatomie und Physiologie sowie die Kenntnis der spezifischen Vor- und Nachteile der zur Verfügung stehenden bildgebenden Verfahren.

    Notes: Abstract A 15-year-old boy with achalasia of the oesophagus is described in whom growth retardation was the presenting and misleading symptom. Growth hormone (GH) and insulin-like growth factor-I secretion were decreased but GH therapy was unsuccessful. After pneumatic dilatation of the oesophageal sphincter catch up growth occurred.

    Notes: Abstract We compared the results of a computerized attention test (TOVA) in 38 children with insulin dependent diabetes mellitus in relation to various spontaneously occurring blood glucose levels. Testing was performed at the following blood glucose levels: 〈3.3 mmol/l (hypoglycaemia), 3.3–8.3 mmol/l (normoglycaemia) and 〉8.3 mmol/l (hyperglycaemia) . The attention (sum of errors and response time) varied significantly with the blood glucose level (P=0.002). The highest number of errors of omission and the longest response time was observed during the test run with hypoglycaemia. Age, sex, age at manifestation of the disease, metabolic control and the results of the intelligence test had no significant influence on these results. We found that attention in children with diabetes was significantly reduced compared to TOVA norms especially during mild hypoglycaemia (P〈0.001). Irrespective of the blood glucose levels, reaction time and the variability of the reaction time differed significantly between TOVA norms and diabetic children (P〈0.01). Conclusion In children with diabetes mellitus a significant reduction in attention was found at mild hypoglycaemia but as well at low normal blood glucose levels. Attention deficits due to transient lowering of blood glucose may therefore occur in diabetic children even before they are aware of hypoglycaemic symptoms.

    Notes: Abstract The glycaemic response to commonly ingested breakfast with different glycaemic index (cornflakes, white bread, dark rye bread and muesli) was investigated in 14 children with insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus. The blood glucose response after cornflakes was significantly higher than after the other breakfasts, whereas the areas under the blood glucose curve were not statistically different. We observed no difference in blood glucose rise between the other breakfast types. Conclusion Postprandial blood glucose measurements after meals with high glycaemic index may be useful in order to minimize the postprandial rise in blood glucose.

    Notes: Abstract Finland and Sweden have the highest incidence of insulin-dependent diabetes in children in the world, about 3–4 times that of countries in the Mediterranean area, with the exception of Sardinia. We have collected information from several European clinics and from Pittsburgh, USA, in order to find out whether this difference in incidence is associated with corresponding differences of the disease pattern. Patients in Finland or Sweden (‘North’) and Pittsburgh were younger (〈10 years old) at diagnosis compared with those in the other clinics in Europe (P〈0.05 versusP〈0.02). In the North, boys were in excess (58%) in contrast to France (40%) and Pittsburgh (46%). Patients in the North had a shorter duration of symptoms (〈8 days;P〈0.001) and higher blood glucose (〉20 mmol/l;P〈0.05) than those attending the other European clinics. Irrespective of age, there were more ICA-positive patients in the North (94%) than in Berlin-Vienna (67%;P〈0.01) or in France (70%;P〈0.01). There was a tendency for non-diabetic parents and siblings in the North to have lower C-peptide values (〈0.26 pmol/ml) at the time of diagnosis of the proband and to be ICA-positive more often than relatives in the other European clinics. The seasonal variation of diagnosis, showed no obvious geographical differences, with recorded diagnosis always lowest during the summer. We conclude that certain factors seem to cause not only a high incidence of diabetes in children in Finland and Sweden but perhaps also a more aggressive early disease process.
