    Notes: Summary Based on a report of 16 patients, the authors describe and evaluate the sonographic aspects of renal inflammatory diseases (RID) in children. In acute disease, thickening of the renal pelvic wall as evidence of pyelitis was the most common pattern demonstrated. Increased renal volume, nontumoral parenchymal area of hyperechnogenicity, abscess-type mass or calcified solid mass (in the case of xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis) were other aspects encountered. Related findings included evidence of chronic pyelonephritis (cortical thinning) and of renal malformations. In patients with RID, the role of ultrasound is doubly important. While it is being employed increasingly as a screening test, it is most useful as a follow-up technique to detect complications and assess renal growth. Nevertheless, it should be stressed that ultrasound may be totally normal in cases of RID and complementary examinations (IVP, VCUG and nuclear scanning) are still necessary.

    Notes: Abstract Objective Morbidity and mortality remain high amongst babies ventilated for a respiratory distress syndrome (RDS). Whether newly developed ventilators allowing high frequency ventilation such as high frequency flow interrupted ventilation (HFFIV) could decrease the morbidity and the mortality was investigated in a randomized study. Design Preterm babies weighing ≤1800g suffering from RDS and ventilated by conventional mechanical ventilation (CMV) were randomized to be further ventilated either by CMV (group CMV) or by HFFIV (group HFFIV) when peak inspiratory pressure (PIP) on CMV was ≥20cmH2O. Setting The study was undertaken in the neonatal intensive care unit of the Erasmus Hospital. Patients 24 patients entered into the investigation and were randomized but 2 patients were removed from the study because the switch over to HFFIV failed. Eight of the 12 CMV patients and 5 of the 10 HFFIV patients completed the study. Measurements and results Clinical variables, blood gas analysis and ventilatory variables were looked at. There were no differences in mortality, in incidence of air leaks and pulmonary complications or in blood gas analysis. Bronchopulmonary dysplasia was not decreased by the use of HFFIV. Conclusion It is concluded that HFFIV is safe although it offers no concrete advantages over CMV when applied as we did in a low pressure approach.
