[Echographic diagnosis of hip dysplasia in neonates. Reflections on two years' work at our ultrasonography center].

The paper evaluates the role of ultrasound examinations of the hip joint in neonates by comparing the results of a one-year screening study (non-selected group) with the findings in a selected group of neonates with a high risk of hip dysplasia. The introduction to the paper contains a general discussion of the clinical aspects of hip dysplasia and describes the main anatomical findings using echography.

[Breast feeding in Rome and its province in 1982].

A follow-up study was planned to evaluate the frequency of the breast feeding babies in Rome and its district. 918 subsequently born babies were followed for 6 months. At 3 months of age only the 35,4% of them was still breast fed. We point out that babies born from spontaneous delivery present a higher frequency and a prolonged breast feeding statistically significant v/s babies born from cesarean section, and that the early initiation of breast feeding has a marked positive influence.

[A case of neonatal convulsions caused by transitory normocalcemic primary hypomagnesemia. Clinical considerations].

The Authors present a case of a primitive normocalcemic hypomagnesimy in a four days newborn. She was hospitalized for convulsive disorders at the Maternity Hospital Foggia - Neonatal Pathology Section. Although her birth had been normal and she was in good condition, the four days infant had clonic crises which in a short time became tonic-clonic generalized convulsive crises. We all know that in a four days newborn the appearance of this kind of convulsive crises is rare and dangerous, so we added, at the normal therapies, a therapy based on somministration of magnesium, first by parentheral intravenous injections, then by mouth. Our check up at one, three and five months of life on the newborn showed how she was growing normally without any bodily or neurological abnormality.
