[Growth hormone concentration following various factors stimulating its release].

Growth hormone concentration has been assayed in 105 children (45 girls and 60 boys) during starvation and following its stimulation with clonidine and insulin and during the sleep. A significant difference between growth hormone concentration during fasting and after stimulation has been noted. No statistically significant difference between growth hormone concentrations during the sleep and following insulin has been found. The most intensive growth hormone release has been observed during the sleep. Test with clonidine is technically simple and may be performed also in the out-patient clinics.

The significance of early panendoscopy in caustic ingestion in children.

Fourteen cases of esophageal and gastric burns following the accidental ingestion of a caustic substance are presented. Early fiberoptic endoscopy was necessary, for it made possible a precise assessment of the severity and extent of injury and the application of proper conservative therapy. Signs and symptoms of caustic burns in children are an unreliable guide to injury, therefore, panendoscopy should be performed as soon as possible. A delay in the performance of a fiberoptic examination could result in the perforation of the affected organs.
