A 22-year followup of ileal conduits in children with a neurogenic bladder.

Previously, the ileal conduit had been used in children for diversion of urine from the neurogenic bladder to prevent deterioration of the upper urinary tracts and to manage urinary incontinence. Long-term results after ileal conduits in children have revealed upper tract deterioration and a high complication rate. The complications and renal deterioration rates in 139 children with ileal conduits followed up to 22 years were evaluated. Of 224 complications 114 required surgical correction. Upper urinary tract deterioration occurred in 16.5 per cent of 50 children followed for 10 or more years (mean 13.3 years). The ileal conduit has been replaced by clean intermittent catheterization, ureteral reimplantation for reflux, the artificial sphincter and undiversion in the management of neurogenic bladders in children. Long-term followup will be necessary to compare the results of these procedures to the known long-term results of the ileal conduit to determine the appropriate role of the ileal conduit in the management of children with neurogenic bladders.

Students' knowledge of child health and development: effects on approaches to discipline.

Unrealistic developmental and behavioral expectations of children, which are associated with child abuse, are related to a lack of knowledge about child development and child rearing. The Iowa Child Development Test (ICDT) was administered to college students to determine their knowledge of child health and development and effects on disciplinary approaches. The results indicated that college students had inadequate knowledge and those who most frequently chose harsh disciplinary methods in simulated child management situations were least knowledgeable. This finding is similar to that reported in an earlier study of high school seniors. College men knew less than college women about child development and health, and more frequently selected harsh punishment. Although noneducation and education majors did not differ with regard to level of knowledge on the ICDT, noneducation majors more frequently chose punish and abuse responses. The findings suggest a need to provide broad-based programs in child rearing education prior to parenthood to reduce the potentiating effects of inadequate knowledge of child health and development on the incidence of child abuse.

Nonoperative management of bladder rupture from external trauma.

Nonoperative (catheter) management was used in 18 patients with extraperitoneal rupture of the bladder with limited extravasation of dye found by retrograde cystogram. Complications occurred in 4 of the 18 patients. A review of the literature shows a 20 to 25-per cent complication rate with nonoperative management of bladder rupture. However, with a small extraperitoneal rupture with limited extravasation, especially in a female, the nonoperative (catheter) management will give a satisfactory result.

Effect of high school students' knowledge of child development and child health on approaches to child discipline.

Because there is an association between the lack of knowledge of normal child development, high and unrealistic expectations for a child's performance, and child abuse, a questionnaire about normal child development, child health maintenance, child discipline aspects of childrearing, and child development was given to a representative sample of high school students in Iowa. Though high school students in Iowa rank high in academic performance, the results of this study indicated that students in grades 9 through 12 had a poor knowledge of child development and child health maintenance. Students whose highest probability of response to a child discipline problem was either to punish or abuse knew less about child development and child health maintenance than their peers. Boys at all grade levels knew less about child development and child health maintenance and were more likely to choose punishment and abuse than girls. Though the causes for child abuse are multifactorial and complex, there is a need to guarantee that all who are at risk for parenthood be informed about child development, child health maintenance, and child discipline to minimize the effects that ignorance of these factors may have on their approaches to discipline and their potential for child abuse.

Congenital and neurological abnormalities in infants with phenylketonuria.

We reported the occurrence of congenital and neurological abnormalities in 150 children with phenylketonuria (PKU) age 1 year or older, who have been treated with a restricted phenylalanine diet, according to the protocol used in a nation-wide longitudinal collaborative study of children treated for PKU. The overall occurrence (9.3%) of congenital anomalies was not significantly different from that of a general population, except for an apparent increased incidence of pyloric stenosis. None of the subjects had a persistent major neurological defect.
