Retinal pigment epithelial degeneration associated with leukocytic arylsulfatase A deficiency.

A family exhibiting a leukocytic arylsulfatase A deficiency, probably inherited in an autosomal recessive manner, differed from patients with typical metachromatic leukodystrophy in that sulfatiduria was absent and there was readily detectable cerebroside sulfatase activity. To our knowledge, this family was unique in that there were no known members with metachromatic leukodystrophy and the only neurologic abnormality was progressive retinal pigment degeneration in the proband.

Diagnostic and prognostic value of retinal hemorrhages in the neonate.

Ocular fundi of 410 newborns were examined for retinal hemorrhages within 24 hours after delivery. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether the course of pregnancy and management of delivery influence the incidence of neonatal retinal hemorrhage (RH) and whether this incidence could be reduced by electronic monitoring of delivery. To assess the prognostic value of neonatal RH for future development of the child, the physical, motor, and psychologic states of 252 infants were examined 6 to 18 months following delivery. The incidence of RH was 37.3% and was not influenced by maternal age, parity, gestational age, course of pregnancy, birth weight, or electronic monitoring of delivery. The mode of delivery did influence the incidence of RH. Gesell developmental schedule showed no correlation between ocular findings and later development of the child.

The effect of cervical encerclarge on uterine dimensions.

Observation of women who underwent cerclage of the uterine cervix in pregnancy indicated that during the first 24 hours after operation a marked increase of the uterine size takes place. Since this feature came rather as a surprise, seventy one cases were studied carefully.

The peroxidase content and the antibacterial activity of the amniotic fluid.

A possible relationship between the antibacterial activity of amniotic fluid and its peroxidase content was examined. Antibacterial activity, assessed by counting colonies of S. aureus following 24 hour incubation, was present in 76% of the samples studied. It was not related to gestational age. Peroxidase activity, assessed by the O-dianisidine method, was not found in any of the amniotic fluid samples examined.

Familial occurrence of gastroschisis. Four new cases and review of the literature.

In two unrelated families, there was familial occurrence of gastroschisis. In one family, a boy and girl were affected and there was a family history of stillbirth, abortion, prematurity, and esophageal obstruction. In the second family, two boys were affected and there was a family history of spontaneous abortion, inguinal hernia, and umbilical hernia. The recurrence of gastroschisis, generally considered a sporadic congenital effect, suggests that the condition may be genetic in nature. Furthermore, the pedigree of one of the families suggests that gastroschisis may be a severe expression of umbilical hernia or other abdominal wall defects. Autosomal dominant inheritance with variable expressivity or multifactorial inheritance may explain the occurrence of gastroschisis in the two families. Thus, a family history of abdominal wall defects may increase the risk for gastroschisis.
