    Notes: Summary To calculate how often non-valvular atrial fibrillation should be considered as the cause of ischaemic stroke rather than an incidental finding as in primary cerebral haemorrhage, the frequency of non-valvular atrial fibrillation in 75 consecutive patients with primary intracerebral haemorrhage was compared with that in 63 patients with cortical infarcts and 44 patients with lacunar infarcts who were taken at random from 1487 consecutive patients with cerebral infarcts admitted during the same period. The frequency of non-valvular atrial fibrillation in lacunar infarcts did not differ from that in primary intracerebral haemorrhage (odds ratio: 1.28; 95% confidence interval: 0.32–5.1) (P=1.0), whereas it was significantly higher in cortical infarcts (odds ratio: 5.57; 95% confidence interval 2.00–15.4) (P=0.0001). Our findings suggest that non-valvular atrial fibrillation in lacunar infarcts, as in primary intracerebral haemorrhage, is unlikely to be the cause of this type of stroke, whereas perhaps 30% of all cortical infarcts are not caused by non-valvular atrial fibrillation when present. These data are important for the planning and explanatory evaluation of trials on the preventive effect of anticoagulants in stroke patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation.

    Notes: Abstract Incidence and clinical manifestation of cow's milk protein intolerance (CMPI) were studied in 1158 unselected newborn infants followed prospectively from birth to 1 year of age. No food changes were required in 914 infants who were used as healthy controls. When CMPI was suspected (211 infants), diagnostic dietary interventions according to a standard protocol were performed. After exclusion of lactose intolerance, two positive cow's milk elimination/challenge tests were considered diagnostic of CMPI. Two hundred and eleven symptomatic infants were examined for possible CMPI. A large group of 80 infants improved on a lactose reduced formula. In 87/211 infants CMPI was excluded (sick controls). Finally CMPI was proven in 26 infants. The calculated incidence rate for CMPI was 2.8%. The principal symptoms in infants with CMPI were gastrointestinal, dermatological and respiratory in 50%, 31% and 19% respectively. A positive family history for atopy (first or second degree relatives) was more frequent in either CMPI infants (65%), or sick controls (63%) when compared to either healthy controls (35%) or infants improving on a low lactose formula (51%). Differences between patients with CMPI and sick controls were only found for the presence of atopy in at least 2 first degree relatives [(5/26 in CMPI infants and 4/87 in sick controls (P〈0.05)] and for multiorgan involvement [10/26 infants with CMPI as opposed to 12/87 in the sick control group (P〈0.02)]. These statistical differences are too weak to be of clinical value.

    Effect ofBacteroides fragilis grown in the presence of clindamycin, metronidazole and fusidic acid on opsonization and killing ofEscherichia coli (1986)

    Notes: Abstract Bactericidal action of human polymorphonuclear leucocytes on Escherichia coli in the presence of Bacteroides fragilis grown in subinhibitory concentrations of clindamycin, metronidazole and fusidic acid was studied.Bacteroides fragilis grown in the absence of drugs significantly inhibited the killing of Escherichia coli.Bacteroides fragilis grown in the presence of the drugs had a reduced inhibitory effect on the killing of Escherichia coli but this reduction was only significant for Bacteroides fragilis grown in 1/2 MIC of clindamycin. The phagocytosis of Bacteroides fragilis grown with and without clindamycin, as measured by killing, was the same. Complement consumption of Bacteroides fragilis grown with and without clindamycin did not differ. Clindamycin-treated Bacteroides fragilis fixed C3 to a significantly lower degree than did untreated bacteria. The chemiluminescence of Escherichia coli opsonized with serum preincubated with clindamycin-treated Bacteroides fragilis was significantly higher than with serum preincubated with untreated bacteria. These results suggested that in killing experiments of mixed Escherichia coli and Bacteroides fragilis,the mechanism underlying the reduced inhibitory capacity of clindamycin-exposed Bacteroides fragilis is related to greater availability of C3 in serum for opsonization of Escherichia coli.
