Spondylothoracic dysostosis associated with diaphragmatic hernia and camptodactyly.

We present a case of a female newborn with a combination of congenital diaphragmatic hernia, skeletal defects, craniofacial dysmorphism, dextrocardia and persistent ductus arteriosus, and normal female karyotype. History of family and pregnancy-labour were non-contributory. The findings in the present patient are most compatible with the diagnosis of a spondylothoracic dysostosis with a set of uncommon anomalies.

[On carnitine requirements in full term and low birth weight neonates].

The concentration of total carnitine in the blood serum of 15 newborns between days 5-21 of life was determined. The concentration of carnitine in low-birth-weight newborns is decreased in comparison with normal weight newborns; this deficiency may increase as a consequence of lack of carnitine provided with food or concomitant infection. The authors suggest that supplementation with carnitine be provided to this group of patients so as to prevent possible metabolic and clinical consequences.

[Polycythemia].

On the basis of own material, the authors discuss the epidemiology, clinical picture, and results of treatment of newborns with polycythaemia. An analysis shows that the blood hyperviscosity syndrome is an underestimated cause of many pathological signs in newborns.

[Therapeutic management of acute febrile states in children].

Long-lasting body temperature over 41 degrees C may constitute a death risk without regard to its cause. Such high fever is associated with functional and organic changes in many organs. The management includes, apart from early diagnosis and causative treatment, also emergency symptomatic therapy with continuous monitoring of the basic vital functions. Treatment undertaken for reducing high body temperature must take into account all elements of thermoregulation. With normally functioning hypothalamic thermoregulation physical methods of cooling are effective. In case of impaired heat transference to the surface of the body drugs dilating the cutaneous vascular bed are helpful. Many pharmacological agents decrease effectively body temperature through a central mechanism, they have, however, numerous side effects.
