H(3)Si(37)Cl Revisited with High Resolution: The Ground State and the v(2) = 1; v(3) = 1, 2, and 3; v(5) = 1; v(6) = 1 and 2; and v(3) = v(6) = 1 States.

The infrared spectrum in the range 400-1600 cm(-1) of isotopically pure H(3)Si(37)Cl has been recorded at high resolution (2.4-6.6 x 10(-3) cm(-1)) and analyzed. Fifteen bands have been studied, namely the four fundamentals nu(3) (543.968 cm(-1)), nu(6) (663.738 cm(-1)), nu(2) (947.982 cm(-1)), and nu(5) (950.657 cm(-1)), the overtone bands 2nu(3), 2nu(0)(6), and 2nu(-/+2)(6), the combination band nu(3) + nu(6), and seven hot bands. Improved ground state constant parameters have been obtained, including all four sextic distortion constants. As for the J-independent parameters A(0), D(0)(K), and H(0)(K), they were determined mainly through the "loop method" involving nu(6), 2nu(-/+2)(6), and 2nu(-/+2)(6)-nu(+/-1)(6) and checked through the strong interactions between nu(2) and nu(5), producing some "forbidden lines." The nu(2)/nu(5) dyad was fitted with success using two different reduced Hamiltonians. Concerning nu(3) and nu(6), in spite of their relatively large separation, a Coriolis interaction could be evidenced. In both nu(2)/nu(5) and nu(3)/nu(6) interacting systems the sign of the interaction was found positive. As for the overtones, 2nu(3) was treated as isolated and 2nu(0)(6) and 2nu(-/+2)(6) as linked together by an l(2, 2) interaction. The data on the v(3) = v(6) = 1 levels were obtained mainly from the two hot bands nu(3) + nu(6) - nu(3) and nu(3) + nu(6) - nu(6), and marginally from the weak band nu(3) + nu(6), and also fitted as for an isolated level. A weak x,y-Coriolis interaction with level crossing between K/(kl - 1) = 21 and 22, and a local l(1, -2) resonance at K = 13/kl = -15 between 2nu(3) and nu(5) were furthermore detected.

[Twins: interpretation of height-weight curves at birth].

Weight, head circumference and body length curves were established with the data at birth of 770 twins born alive in our hospital. Those curves were compared with the Gairdner-Pearson curves realized on a population of singleton newborns. The twin weight curve shows the expected fall down from 32 weeks of gestation. More than 50% of twins would have been qualified as small for dates on the Gairdner standard for singletons. The head circumference and the body length curves show few differences, except a late fall down, significant from 39 weeks. So the normal twin shows usually an "asymmetrical" hypotrophy if compared with a general newborn population standard. The general weight standards do not allow to assess the normality of a twin and to suspect other reasons of fetal growth restriction that could also be present. These considerations plead for the use of specific twin charts. Yet the evaluation of twins on the general standards has still a place to estimate the immediate and at long-term adverse outcomes of fetal growth restriction. The evaluation of twin measurements would not be completed without the assessment of the weight discordancy inside the twin couple, as a risk factor of morbidity and mortality.

Partial bronchial stenosis following inadvertent right bronchial intubation in a neonate.

This case reports difficulties encountered in weaning a premature infant with bronchopulmonary dysplasia from prolonged mechanical ventilation. On chest X-ray alternating atelectasis and hyperinflation of the right lung were observed. This resulted from a short episode of misplaced endotracheal tube that produced a traumatic bronchial stenosis. Treatment by prednisolone allowed the detubation.
