Is the personal child health record used in secondary care?

BACKGROUND: Hampshire et al. (2004) have recently reported on the variation in use of the Personal Child Health Record (PCHR) (The Red Book). This study aims to add further data to the discussion. OBJECTIVE: To estimate the proportion of parents bringing the Red Book to a hospital surgical outpatient appointment. METHODS: An audit was performed over 4 months ending 14 July 2004. This involved the author noting whether parents brought the Red Book to the Paediatric Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery clinics, on different sites and including specialist multidisciplinary clinics. 200 consecutive attendees were reviewed.

Squamous cell carcinoma and basal cell carcinoma arising in a naevus sebaceous of Jadassohn: case report and literature review.

The development of a basal cell carcinoma within a naevus sebaceous of Jadassohn (NSJ) has commonly been reported. However, the development of a squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is rare. There have been several reports of SCC arising within a NSJ but many contain little or ambiguous clinical information. A thorough review of the current English language literature has identified only three other well documented cases of SCC arising in a NSJ. Of these only one was a case of simultaneous occurrence of squamous and basal cell carcinoma. We report the second case of both malignancies arising within the same NSJ.

An unusual case of Ankyloglossia Superior.

We report the rare finding of a complete cleft of the secondary palate in the presence of a synechial band running from the incisive foramen over the tip of the tongue, terminating in the midline of the floor of the mouth.

Anomalous muscle of the wrist.

A case of an anomalous muscle found in the right wrist of a 52-year-old man during routine carpal tunnel decompression surgery is reported. The muscle was observed lying transversely across the carpal tunnel superficial and parallel to the flexor retinaculum. Its further definition was subsequently demonstrated by postoperative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). No similar structure was detectable on MRI of the left wrist.

The 6p deletion syndrome: a new orofacial clefting syndrome and its implications for antenatal screening.

Foetal genetic screening has become the centre of the ethical debate surrounding the screening of foetuses for chromosomal defects to help create 'eugenic' children with either perceived advantageous characteristics or traits that could be used to medically aid unhealthy siblings. This report highlights the problems facing the medical establishment by citing, by way of example, a case of a genetic abnormality producing a clefting syndrome. The 6p deletion syndrome was first described almost 20 years ago, and the evidence is mounting for its inclusion as an orofacial clefting syndrome. This case report includes a description of the syndrome, the method used for detecting chromosomal aberrations and a comparison with other reports of the syndrome published to date. However, by pursuing a genetic-testing policy at our unit to detect new abnormalities or to help substantiate previously reported abnormalities, the way could be left open for its subsequent abuse by parents and corporations alike, so having implications not only for the individual but also for the unit performing the test. A brief synopsis is therefore also provided regarding the current circumstances of foetal screening in the UK.
