Late hemorrhagic disease of infancy.

Over a period of 1 1/2 years, 9 infants ages ranging between 3 weeks and 7 months presented with the syndrome of late hemorrhagic disease related to vitamin K deficiency. All were exclusively breast fed and had not received vitamin K at birth. Four of these had acute intracranial hemorrhage, of which 2 expired and the surviving 2 have residual neurologic handicap. Of the remaining 5 who had skin and mucosal bleeds, all recovered on administration of vitamin K.

Crosscultural differences in frontalis muscle tension levels: an exploratory study comparing Japanese and Westerners.

This paper describes a comparison between Japanese (N = 20) and Westerners (N = 20) in their respective frontal EMG levels and their ability to relax during one 5-minute biofeedback training session. The data indicated a significantly lower baseline muscle tension level in Japanese than in Westerners. After EMG biofeedback, however, no significant difference was found between the two groups. Japanese females showed significantly higher tension levels both during baseline and biofeedback phases than did japanese males.

Comparison of intramuscular and intravenous succinylcholine on intraocular pressure.

The effect of succinylcholine on intraocular pressure was determined in one group of patients who received the drug intravenously, compared with a similar group receiving the drug intramuscularly. The group receiving intravenous succinylcholine showed a significantly earlier rise in pressure and a significantly higher rise in pressure compared to the group receiving the drug intramuscularly. In both groups the pressure returned to normal within five minutes. It is suggested that in cases with a ruptured globe or wound leak in which succinylcholine is used to facilitate tracheal intubation, the drug should be administered intramuscularly.
