Childhood lumbosacral plexus neuropathy.

Primary lumbosacral plexus neuropathy without underlying disease is a well-defined syndrome characterized by pain, weakness, and atrophy in the distribution of the lumbosacral plexus. It generally affects adults and rarely occurs in children. We report 2 children with primary lumbosacral plexus neuropathy evaluated at our institution and review the literature. This syndrome, despite initially severe symptoms, appears to be benign with a favorable prognosis in children.

Patterns of health promotion programs for older adults in local health departments.

Questionnaires were sent to all 2561 members of the National Association of County Health Officers in 1996; only 492 (19.2%) responded. Almost all departments have health promotion or disease prevention programs available to older adults, but only three-fifths specifically target older adults with these programs. Most of those programs are clinical preventive services, including immunizations.
