Variations in intra-oral stimulation and nutritive sucking.

Sucking records were made from 24 infants, aged 3-4 days, fed small amounts of their usual formula from nipples of different sizes (5/16-, 8/16-, and 11/16-inch diam). Polygraphic and observer measures showed that the large nipple elicited fewer sucks and a slower sucking rate; 5 infants seen on 2 successive days showed a more marked nipple preference on the second day. The results show that intra-oral stimuli control sucking for a nutriment in much the same way as they have already been shown to control nonnutritive sucking.

Changes preceding the development of preeclamptic toxemia.

No differences were found at the 30th week of pregnancy in total body water, serum sodium, potassium, chloride and osmolality, plasma volume, total protein concentration, intravascular protein mass, serum albumin concentration, intravascular albumin mass, and urinary estriol and pregnanediol in 94 primigravidae who remained normotensive, 35 who developed mild preeclampsia, and 23 who developed severe preeclampsia (i.e. hypertension and significant proteinuria in the third trimester). In twin pregnancies no differences were found between 13 primigravidae who remained normotensive and nine who subsequently developed proteinuria and hypertension.

Changes in serum uric acid concentrations after caesarean section using methoxyflurane.

In a study comparing the changes in serum uric acid concentration after methoxyflurane anaesthesia in 10 patients subjected to either Caesarean section or minor general surgical procedures, a significantly greater increase in serum uric acid concentration occurred in those patients undergoing Caesarean section. These results were compared with results from a control group of five patients undergoing Caesarean section, anaesthetized without methoxyflurance and with a second control group of five patients having uncomplicated spontaneous deliveries. Reasons are presented to suggest that although obstetric patients are unlikely to be more vulnerable to methoxyflurane nephrotoxicity, those with pre-eclamptic toxaemia may be more at risk.

Respiratory intensive care: a 10-year survey.

The work of the respiratory intensive care unit at the Glasgow Royal Infirmary covering a period of 10 years and involving more than 2,000 patients has been analysed. The rate of admission of patients with acute respiratory or metabolic disturbances remained surprisingly constant over the years, allowing for the increase in available beds after 1965. A disturbing feature was the notable increase in the incidence of severe self-poisonings. The continued importance of infection as a life-threatening complication is also emphasized. The reduction in mortality observed in some of the most gravely ill patients appears to justify this approach to patient care.
