[Anthropometric parameters in assessment of patients with Marfan syndrome or with Marfan phenotype].

A series of 37 patients aged 4-64 years has been evaluated with criteria of Lee and Ramirez. Diagnosis of Marfan syndrome has been established in 13 cases, in 24 patients the Marfan phenotype has been found. In both groups body height, upper extremities length, the length of upper and lower body segment, length of the foot and hand have been recorded. Metacarpal index has been calculated. Antropometric measurements did not reveal significant differences in body parts proportions between these two groups.

[The occurrence of congenital abnormalities in children under 2 years of age in Zielona Gora province between 1987-1992].

The analysis encompassed 1278 children under 2 years of age with congenital abnormalities from a group of 60, 815 live-born neonates in Zielona Góra province between 1987-1992. The population prevalence of congenital abnormalities was 2.10% on average. Cardiovascular system abnormalities were the most frequent, making up 40.53% of all detected abnormalities and 0.85% of the analyzed population. The successive positions were abnormalities of: the limbs (15.41% of all detected abnormalities and 0.31% of the analyzed population), genitourinary system (9.08% and 0.19% respectively), central nervous system (7.51% i 0.16%) and digestive system (6.57% and 0.14). There were no statistically significant differences between sexes, towns and villages, jobs of mothers and months of birth. Congenital abnormalities were twice as frequent (4.83%) in low-birth-weight neonates. Deaths caused by congenital abnormalities made 30.9% of total infantile mortality. 66% of children with congenital abnormalities (mainly heart defects) died in first month of life.

[Evaluation of treatment efficacy in gastritis and duodenitis in children with Helicobacter pylori infection].

The efficacy of Ventrisol treatment in gastritis and duodenitis in children infected with Helicobacter pylori was evaluated. Eighty-six children aged 3 to 18 years with chronic abdominal pain were examined. All children underwent gastrofiberoscopic examination. H. pylori infection was diagnosed on the bases of two of three diagnostic tests (urease, bacteriological, histological). H. pylori was detected in 50 children (56.4%). After a 4 week course of Ventrisol treatment, H. pylori eradication was obtained in 41 children (82%). Twenty-one children (42%) were completely cured, whereas in 20 children (40%) elimination of HP was observed although macroscopic and histological inflammatory changes were still present. The drug was well tolerated by 92.5% of children and its accumulation was not observed.

[The role of complex diagnostic examination in von Hippel-Lindau disease].

Von Hippel-Lindau disease belongs to phakomatosis. It is a dominantly autosomally inherited disease. The aim of the study was to present and evaluate different methods of diagnostic examinations (computer tomography, magnetic resonance imaging and ultrasonography) in 14 patients with the disease. The results of investigations showed a wide variety of visceral manifestations. All the patients are carefully followed up. Control examinations every six months allow to check for and treat any new pathological changes in the retina.

[Congenital defects as a cause of infant mortality in Zielona Góra province in 1987-1992].

A total of 1278 children with congenital defects born in Zielona Góra Province between 1987 and 1992 were studied. Of this group, 315 children (24,6%) died. Congenital defects were responsible for 38.1% of these deaths and were the main cause of late infant mortality. Congenital heart defects were the most frequent cause of death. Two hundred and ten (66%) of all of the deaths occurred in the neonatal period. Mortality from congenital defects among low birth weight neonates was twice the overall rate.

[Food allergy in pathogenesis of chronic abdominal pain in children].

Food allergy has been implicated lately in the etiopathogenesis of abdominal pain in children, with particular attention pain to gastritis and/or duodenitis. The aim of the study was to analyse the cause-and-effect relationship between chronic abdominal pain in children, endoscopic and histopatological picture, and food allergy, as well as to evaluate the applied elimination diet and/or antiallergic treatment on the improvement of both the clinical status and endoscopic picture. In 71 children gastrofiberoscopic examinations, food skin tests, and specific and total IgE allergen serum tests were performed. In the majority of examined children one could observe an improvement of clinical status and of the endoscopic-histopatological picture of the stomach mucous membrane after application an elimination diet and/or treatment with sodium cromoglycate.

[Congenital fructose intolerance diagnosed in a 13-year-old boy].

We describe the case of 13 year old boy who was admitted to the hospital in order to find the reason of hepatomegaly and increased echogenicity observed in sonography. The thorough anamnesis revealed aversion to products containing fructose and thus hereditary fructose intolerance appeared the most probable in this case. The preliminary diagnosis was confirmed by oral fructose tolerance test.

[Indices of development in children and adolescents of Poznan aged 3 through 18].

Mean values and standard deviations of the body weight and height were calculated for the particular age and sex groups od children and adolescents aged between 3 and 18 years in Poznań. The calculations were based on the results of examinations of 12,669 children: 6,941 girls and 5,728, i.e. 11% of the total population in Poznań (highly representative sample). Percentile nets and weight-height proportion nets were constructed.

[Accelerated physical development of children and adolescents in Poznan].

The results of body height and weight measurements of 12,669 children and adolescents aged between 3 and 18 years carried out in the school year 1980/81 were compared with the measurements of the same features performed in the school population in Poznań during the last 100 years. A phenomenon of the physical development acceleration was confirmed, being a base for temporary actualization of the developmental standards.
