Ambulatory treatment of tuberculous children in a high risk population

The authors summarize 7 1/2 years work of a polyvalent socio-medical organization of the home-care type, which took charge of 842 children suffering from primary tuberculous infection, of which 712 were treated ambulatorily.SCOPUS: NotDefined.jinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishe

Ultrasonic study of pancreas in cystic fibrosis

Gray scale ultrasonography using digitalized memory scanners permits with quick, single-sweep contact scanning, visualization of pancreatic tissue in very young children. This innocuous technique which does not require sedation or abdominal preparation, except for a few hours fasting, can be successfully performed even in children in poor physical condition. We report in the present study the examination of pancreatic tissue of 35 patients with cystic fibrosis along with appropriate controls. Our preliminary results suggest that in cystic fibrosis the echographic parenchymal pattern of the pancreas changes from normal in babies to a progressively fibrotic aspect in children as young as 6 years of age and that the thickness of the pancreas diminished progressively.SCOPUS: ar.jinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishe

Determination of right ventricular ejection fraction in children with cystic fibrosis

The radionuclide right ventricular ejection fraction (RVEF) determined by means of Krypton‐81 m represents a simple, noninvasive, and accurate procedure to quantify the right ventricular contractility. This procedure was applied to 25 young patients with cystic fibrosis. The RVEF tended to decrease with the progression of the lung disease, as assessed by the clinical S‐K score, the degree of the defects on lung scintigraphy, the Pa O 2, and the lung function tests. However, the decrease of RVEF in patients with marked lung involvement was moderate, and terminal lung disease was sometimes associated with normal right heart contractility.

Congenital Stridor in Infancy: Clinical Lessons Derived from a Survey of 31 Instances

Thirty-one cases of persistent stridor during infancy, which on study proved to be of congenital origin, were analyzed. The breakdown of these cases is as follows: 4 laryngotracheomalacia, 3 vascular anomalies, 4 angiomas, 1 mucous membrane, 1 laryngeal cyst. The remaining cases (18) belong to the so-called “benign” stridor group in that no specific etiology could be demonstrated and in that evolution was spontaneously favorable. In every case of stridor, the precise underlying cause should be looked for. In addition to clinical assessment the investigation of an infant with stridor calls for the following methods of examination: chest x-ray; larynx x-ray (anterior and lateral view) during inspiration and expiration; esophago gram; direct and laryngotracheoscopy. Angiopneumography should be confined to specific cases. © 1977, Sage Publications. All rights reserved.SCOPUS: ar.jinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishe
