The role of the principal sensory nucleus in central trigeminal pattern formation.

Complete lesions of the principal sensory nucleus in the neonatal rat disrupts vibrissae-related pattern formation in the ventral posterior nucleus of the dorsal thalamus. Similar lesions of the spinal trigeminal nucleus do not effect pattern formation in the ventral posterior nucleus. The results are interpreted as suggesting that the principal sensory nucleus provides a template for pattern formation in central trigeminal structures.

Streptococcal pharyngitis in infants: a reappraisal of its prevalence.

The prevalence of group A streptococcal pharyngitis in children under 3 years of age was determined by retrospective review of the results of throat cultures taken from children seen in a middle-class, suburban, private pediatric practice. Of 2,200 throat cultures obtained, 7% (149) were from children in this age group, and 15% (23) of these were positive for group A streptococci. All children had pharyngeal injection and the majority were symptomatic, with fever, rash, or rhinitis. Exudative pharyngitis was rare. This study suggests that pharyngeal infection with this organism in infants and young children is not uncommon, and justifies the need for throat cultures in this population.

Comedo naevus of the palm--a sweat duct naevus?

A 9-year-old boy is described with keratotic pits on the left palm, present since birth, which clinically resembled those seen in comedo naevus. Histology and scanning electron microscopy of skin surface replicas showed the lesions to be large, abnormal sweat ducts. It is suggested that comedo naevi are not necessarily pilosebaceous in origin and that in our case the term sweat duct naevus may be more appropriate.

Japanese encephalitis in an Australian soldier returned from Vietnam.

An imported case of Japanese encephalitis is reported and discussed. Recent literature on the clinical aspects of the disease is reviewed. Although the disease is unlikely to become a problem in Australia, it will remain a serious hazard to nonimmune personnel moving into an endemic area.

The psoriasiform eruption induced by practolol.

Three patients who developed a psoriasiform skin eruption following oral practolol administration are described with particular attention to the cutaneous histological changes. Although the clinical picture resembled psoriasis, the histological one did not, resembling rather that seen in a drug eruption. The possibility of an early lymphoma could not be excluded on purely histological grounds.
