Congenital cutis laxa with ligamentous laxity and delayed development, Dandy-Walker malformation and minor heart and osseous defects.

We present a female infant exhibiting congenital cutis laxa with retardation of growth and motor development, ligamentous laxity and congenital dislocation of the hips. This connective tissue disorder was associated with Dandy-Walker malformation, atrial and ventricular defect and minor bone abnormalities including multiple wormian bones, abnormal tubulation of long bones and absent twelfth pair of ribs. This association is believed to be unique.

Modifications of surfactant phospholipid pattern in premature infants treated with curosurf: clinical and dietary correlations.

Neonatal respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) is characterized by an immature surfactant phospholipid pattern. We aimed to study the evolution of surfactant phospholipids over a 6-day period, before and after surfactant replacement therapy with Curosurf, and to investigate possible interactions with exogenous phospholipids administered during total parenteral nutrition (TPN). Seventeen premature infants with RDS were randomly assigned to receive TPN with lipids or without (glucose group). Both groups showed a similar evolution of the surfactant phospholipids. At day 6, the surfactant composition had changed towards a mature human surfactant pattern except for phosphatidylglycerol which remained low (1%), compensated for by a high phosphatidylinositol and phosphatidylserine proportion (13.3%), Phospholipid subcomponents in plasma remained unchanged in both groups. Plasma total cholesterol (151 +/- 18 vs. 113 +/- 6 mg/dl, p less than 0.05) and cholesteryl esters (172 +/- 20 vs. 113 +/- 9 mg/dl, p less than 0.01) were higher in the glucose than in the lipid group. Total calorie intake was significantly higher in the lipid group (85 +/- 4 vs. 64 +/- 6 kcal/kg.day, p less than 0.01).

Combined azaperone and metomidate anaesthesia in liver transplantation in the pig.

Combined azaperone and metomidate anaesthesia has been used in 86 surgical procedures on 84 piglets, either as such or deepened and prolonged. 51 animals were sacrificed at the end of the procedure as planned before. The anesthesia allowed the performance of various short and long operations. Out of the 33 remaining pigs, submitted to 35 operations, 4 died during the procedure of a technical fault; 2 did not recover from a deep hypothermia (below 10 degrees C); 1 died from the hepatic coma induced through the operative procedure. The other 26 awoke and recovered spontaneous breathing within 1-4 h following the type of anaesthesia and operating procedure they had submitted, which dured from 15 to 330 min.

[Special cases of vascular injuries by war projectiles].

The author resumes what is actually known about the behaviour of war projectiles in the target (wound ballistics). This is function of their nature, their velocity, their air trajectory. The difference between lesions due to slow moving bullets and these due to projectiles with a high kinetic energy is outlined. The last ones create, through the temporary cavitation effect, lesions at distance from the residual visible tract, particularly in the vascular conduits. The therapeutic conclusions, which derive from those ballistic behaviours, are briefly described in matter of repair of vascular war injuries [Acta chir. belg., 1982, 82, 457-461].
