A semi-elemental diet with low osmolarity and high content of hydrolyzed lactalbumin in the treatment of acute diarrhea in malnourished children.

Thirty-eight moderately to severely malnourished children with severe acute or subacute diarrhea were treated according to two different feeding schemes, divided at random half of the children received semi-elemental diet (SED) with an osmolarity of 302 milliosmol per liter, a low lactose content and a relatively high content of lactalbumine hydrolysate (1 g/100 ml). The other half of the patients received available proprietory formulas or diluted cow's milk with added carbohydrates. The results obtained showed that the children who were fed the SED had a better average weight gain during the first three weeks of hospitalization compared to the control group. The children receiving the SED also required a smaller number or rehydrations.

[Detection of inborn errors of metabolism in San Pablo, Brazil].

The authors report their experience in populational screenings, first regarding hyperphenylalaninemias at the city of S Paulo, by own programmation. In the same aminoacidopathies detection program, a similar methodology is being used in urine, in the children's health services of the State of S. Paulo. The same urine procedure is being used to select IEM of carbohydrates and mucopolysaccharides A programme similar to the one used for hyperphenylalaninemia is being performed for the detection of congenital hypothyroidism; T4 tests were made by radioimmunoassay (RIA) microtechnique in newborns and children in the first months of life. A similar experience in the detection of heterozygotes for GM2-ganglyosidosis type I (Tay-Sach disease) by performing the hexosaminidase A test is also reported. The importance of the performing of such populational screening tests, even in underdeveloped countries is stressed. Taking into account the high cost of the maintenance of patients with mental retardation (MR0, the cost of such programmes may become a saving whenever early diagnosis and therapy can avoid the MR.
