    Notes: Summary The bone mineral status of fifty-one children with diabetes mellitus was studied by single photon absorptiometry. The mean bone mineral content was 13% below values predicted by age, sex, height, and weight. Those children whose diabetes was one year or less in duration were as osteopenic as those whose diabetes was of longer duration. The demineralized children received a higher daily insulin dose than the others. No association was noted between the degree of skeletal demineralization and sex, statural growth, renal function, and serum calcium and phosphorus. No significant changes in bone mineral content were noted longitudinally.

    Notes: Summary The bone mineral status of 17 girls with Turner's syndrome was evaluated by single photon absorptiometry. Bone mineral content (BMC) was 25.4% below that predicted by normalization for age, sex, height, weight, and bone width. Only 25% of this demineralization could be attributed to delayed skeletal maturation. Bones of girls who received estrogen replacement therapy were less demineralized than those of the others. The bone mineral deficit became less pronounced with advancing age. It could not be determined if the apparent effect of estrogens was related to age or if the apparent improvement with age was really due to an effect of estrogen treatment. For 8 subjects followed longitudinally there was no significant change in the BMC deficit.

    Notes: Summary The effects of long-term anticonvulsant drug therapy and multivitamin supplementation on bone mineral status were evaluated by direct photon absorptiometry in 53 adult residents of an institution for the mentally disturbed. Results demonstrated a similar amount of osteopenia for control subjects and those on anticonvulsant drugs. Average osteopenia was 8% for control subjects and 6% for subjects taking anticonvulsant drugs. Significant osteopenia was found in 25% of subjects taking anticonvulsant drugs and 20% of control subjects. Multivitamin supplementation had a beneficial effect on bone status in both subject groups. The use of anticonvulsant drugs had a significant effect on levels of alkaline phosphatase. Elevated alkaline phosphatase was found in 37% of subjects taking anticonvulsant drugs and 22% of control subjects. Hypocalcemia was found only in subjects taking anticonvulsant drugs (19%). Average calcium values were similar for both subject groups. Multivitamins were shown to have no significant effect on alkaline phosphatase or calcium values. Because both control subjects and those taking anticonvulsant drugs showed similar levels of osteopenia, factors other than anticonvulsant drug therapy appeared to adversely affect bone mineral status in this population. Conversely, multivitamin supplementation and the dietary control present in the institutionalized setting appear to have ameliorated the osteopenia commonly seen in anticonvulsant-treated populations without greatly modifying elevated alkaline phosphatase and hypocalcemia.

    Notes: Abstract There is a sigh of relief expressed when the notion of infant massage or, as it is sometimes called “baby rub,” is discussed among parents and professionals. The sigh of relief represents such feelings as, “It's about time,” or “It makes so much sense,” or “I've been wondering about the very same ideas.”
