[Necrotizing enterocolitis. A study of forty-six cases seen in a maternity hospital].
Forty-six cases of necrotizing enterocolitis were seen at the Baudelocque maternity hospital from august 1978 to october 1980. In eighteen cases, clinical signs associated with roentgenograms showing pneumatosis led to unequivocal diagnosis. A surgical procedure was done in nine of these patients, during the acute stage in four and later on in five. Diagnosis was strongly suspected in twenty-eight cases. Clinical features were less serious and included abdominal distension, bloody stools, and emesis. There were no roentgenological signs. None of these infants underwent surgery. Overall mortality rate was 7% (3/46). In comparison to previously published studies, our series shows lower perinatal risk factors, higher mean birthweight, and lower prematurity rate (14%). No evidence was found to support the responsibility of a specific bacterial agent. Corona virus was found in the stools of five out of eleven cases studied during the second epidemic wave in october 1979, suggesting a possible viral etiology. Several preventive steps have been taken. Breast-feeding has been encouraged. Each mother-infant pair has been isolated instead of grouping infants in night nurseries. Staff members have been given specific information on the means of preventing contamination.
Sinusoidal fetal heart rate pattern in severe fetal anemia from feto-maternal transfusion.
A case is reported where a sinusoidal fetal heart rate pattern was found in a fetus at 34 weeks. This pattern, at first isolated and later persistent for several hours, during a normal pregnancy became progressively transformed into a silent pattern. Cesarean delivery then performed resulted in the birth of an infant affected by a severe anemia due to a major feto-maternal transfusion and it died aged 36 h. The authors enquire into the significance of this pattern when found in apparently normal pregnancies, not involving rhesus iso-immunization, and they suggest a possible management when confronted with a sinusoidal fetal heart pattern.

Electrophoretic mobility of lymphocytes in new born.
T lymphocytes in normal new born at the 4th day after birth have an electrophoretic mobility of 1.04, quite slower than adult normal T lymphocytes (1.13), but the same of the EM of lymphoblasts of ALL (1.04).
