    Notes: Abstract Sequential chest radiographs from 40 newborn infants requiring assisted ventilation for respiratory distress syndrome or other conditions were evaluated with a new scoring system aiming at identifying abnormal expansion patterns and interstitial infiltrates representing an early stage of bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD). Age at examination ranged from 3 to 23 days. Tracheal effluent samples obtained from the babes during the same period of observation were examined cytologically for evidence of regenerating airway epithelium with squamous metaplasia, indicating BPD. According to the radiological scoring system 24 babies (60%) developed BPD, first diagnosed at a median age of 9 days. By cytological criteria 20 babies (50%) developed BPD, first diagnosed at a median age of 10.5 days. The results from radiological and cytological diagnosis of BPD were concordant in 16 babies (P〈0.05 by chi-square test). Using oxygen dependency at the age of 28 days as evidence of established BPD, the radiological scoring system alone had a sensitivity of 93% and a specificity of 53%. The corresponding figures for cytological assessment alone were 73% and 58%, respectively. By combining radiological and cytological findings, values for sensitivity and specificity were 67% and 68%, respectively.

    Notes: Abstract Cerebral cortical calcification identical to that of the Sturge-Weber syndrome was observed in two children. In one child the calcification appeared after intrathecal administration of methotrexate and skull irradiation because of leukemia involving the central nervous system. In the other child, who had coeliac disease and epilepsy, the calcification appeared after treatment with anticonvulsants. This treatment was also contributing to the development of profound megaloblastic anemia. The unspecificity of the Sturge-Weber calcification is stressed and the hypothesis is put forward that the calcification may be secondary to folic acid deficiency interfering with the metabolism in the central nervous system.

    Notes: Abstract During halothane anaesthesia the hepatic blood flow may be reduced. This effect interferes with the angiographic investigation of the liver and this is demonstrated by the case presented.

    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé L'auteur décrit deux cas d'hernie discale cervicale calcifiée chez l'enfant.
    Abstract: Zusammenfassung Es handelt sich um eine Fallbeschreibung mit Besprechung der neurologischen und neuroradiologischen Zeichen von 2 Kindern, bei denen eine große verkalkte Bandscheibe in den Spinalkanal ragte.
    Notes: Summary The occurrence of calcified discs with large calcified masses protruding into the spinal canal in two children is reported. The discs affected had increased height in the acute stage. Air myelogram, performed in one case with muscular weakness in the hand demonstrated compression of the spinal cord. The condition improved on conservative treatment without sequelae in both cases.

    Notes: Abstract The safety and diagnostic efficacy of the new non-ionic, monomeric contrast medium iopentol (Imagopaque) were evaluated and compared with those of the ionic medium metrizoate (Isopaque), in urography in children in a randomized, double-blind, parallel study. The trial comprised 59 children aged from 3 months to 8 years; children with predefined risk factors were not included. The difference in attenuation between the renal and perirenal tissue, assessed from film density measurements, was chosen as the main variable. Diagnostic efficacy was also evaluated subjectively from demarcation of the kidney and the pelvic structures. There was no statistically significant difference between the groups in the diagnostic efficacy. Serious adverse events did not occur in either group. Mild to moderate, transient adverse events were significantly less frequent in the iopentol group than in the metrizoate group, but in no case was medical treatment required. There were no changes or trends toward changes of clinical importance in either group, in serum chemistry variables measured in blood samples taken 2 min after injection of contrast medium compared to baseline values.

    Notes: Abstract The potentially of early chest X-ray to predict the risk of lung function abnormalities was studied prospectively in 40 preterm ventilator treated infants in a 8–10-year follow-up investigation. According to the findings at chest X-ray 3 to 10 days after completed ventilator treatment the infants were divided into 3 groups considered to represent increasing risk and severity of lung damage: 1) normal findings, 2) interstitial parenchymal abnormalities exclusively or 3) in combination with local or general hyperinflation. Lung function tests and chest x-ray were performed at the age of 8 to 10 years. A correlation was found between the findings at the early chest roentgen examination and the risk of abnormal lung function at the follow-up. Occurrence of focal or general hyperinflation or both were associated with a greater risk of airway obstruction. Infants with only interstitial abnormalities were, however, at a higher risk than those with normal chest examination to develop general hyperinflation and increased air way obstruction.

    Notes: Abstract We aimed at evaluating the relationship between microbial, etiology and chest radiograph appearance in various types of pneumonia. In a prospective study, the radiographic findings in 479 cases of acute pneumonia in children were compared with viral etiology and growth of potential bacterial pathogens in nasopharyngeal secretion. As the basis for viral etiology was most conclusive, the material was here classified according to the viral findings. The patients were divided into three age groups: 0–2, 3–5 and 6–15 years. The chest radiograms were analyzed blindly for the presence of hyperinflation and interstitial, alveolar and mixed interstitial-alveolar infiltrates. There was a statistically significant relationship between low age and occurrence of hyperinflation and interstitial infiltrates, and between high age and alveolar infiltrates. No unequivocal relationship was found between type of infiltrates or presence of atelectasis and proven viral etiology. We conclude that chest radiographs are not a useful indicator of microbial etiology in childhood pneumonia.

    Notes: Summary Resting arterial flow and the peak arterial flow to the calves were estimated by strain-gauge plethysmography in 15 children with aortic coarctation. The resting flows in this study group did not differ from those in a reference group of children without coarctation. The peak arterial flows, however, were relatively high in children with aortic coarctation, and the mean value for this group was significantly higher than that of the reference group. The higher peak arterial flow is probably due to greater ability to lower the peripheral vascular resistance in the lower limbs in children with aortic coarctation than in children without aortic coarctation.

    Notes: Abstract The intrarenal circulation time in rabbits was found to decrease when the intrapelvic pressure was elevated acutely. A possible explanation is a redistribution of the blood flow with part of the blood effectively by-passing some renal parenchyma and thereby hypothetically resulting in local ischaemia. At vesico-ureteral reflux the same mechanism may cause repeated episodes of ischaemia. This may well happen particularly in areas drained by a damaged papilla, where rises in the intra-pelvic pressure may be conducted directly into tubuli and peritubular capillaries and veins.
