Description / Table of Contents: Sommario Abbiamo studiato 11 bambini (7 maschi) che avevano spasmi infantili nello stesso episodio critico. L'età all'inizio degli spasmi variava da 6 giorni a 9 mesi. Tutti i bambini presentavano anormalità neurologiche o neuroradiologiche, e 5 avevano anche una familiarità epilettica. Abbiamo analizzato gli aspetti clinici e poligrafici dei cluster di spasmi associati a crisi parziali. Dieci di questi bambini vennero seguiti per un periodo medio di 3 anni e 4 mesi. All'ultima visita, le crisi hanno avuto sucessivamente un ritardo psicomotorio da lieve a grave. Questa condizione definisce un sottogruppo particolare, tra i bambini che presentano spasmi infantili, diverso dalla sindrome di West.

Notes: Abstract We studied 11 infants (7 males) with combined infantile spasms (IS) and partial seizures. The age of onset of the spasms ranged from 6 days to 9 months. All of the children had neurological or CT/MRI abnormalities, and five also had a family history of epilepsy. The clinical and polygraphic patterns of the clusters of spasms combined with partial seizures were analysed. Ten infants were followed-up for a mean period of 3 years, 4 months (range 1 year 10 months to 4 years 11 months). At the last check-up, the seizures were controlled in 2 patients; the others continued to have spasms and/or partial seizures. All of the patients developed mild to severe pshychomotor retardation. This condition defines a subgroup of infants presenting with IS, which is distinct from West syndrome.

Notes: The mechanism of foam inhibition in an aqueous sodium dodecylbenzene sulfonate (DBSNa) solution by temperature-sensitive, water-soluble poly(dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate) (PDM) was investigated. The solution's foam collapsing rate, % transmittance, surface tension, pH, temperature, and degree of hydrophobicity of PDM showed that aging a PDM-DBS solution 125 to 280 hr produced a turbid solution and effectively inhibited foaming. Likewise, controlling the pH at 4 ≤ pH ≤ 7 and increasing the hydrophobicity of PDM enhanced the foam-inhibiting action of the polymer. The reaction between DBSNa and PDM was temperature dependent and the temperature effect was almost reversible. When compared with other available commercial antifoaming agents, PDM was found most effective in suppressing foam formation in aqueous DBSNa solution.
