Digital video for networked CAL delivery.

Digital moving images (AVI format), were integrated into a specific computer-assisted learning (CAL) application, providing a highly visual and interactive self-learning tool in an area of the medical curriculum which is difficult to teach by traditional methods. This paper outlines the process used to obtain the digital video using relatively inexpensive equipment and the subsequent delivery over a university network without resorting to major upgrading of the network specifications.

Partial deletion 8q without Langer-Giedion syndrome: a recognisable syndrome.

We report two de novo cases of del(8)(pter----q24.1:) with breakpoints involving the distal part of band 8q24.1. The clinical features were similar and there were no obvious stigmata of Langer-Giedion syndrome (LGS). There are three other cases reported with a deletion of chromosome 8 at approximately the same breakpoint, one without LGS and some similarities to our cases, the other two with LGS. Our findings would support the observation that the critical segment for the assignment of LGS is proximal to or involves the proximal part of 8q24.1, but a review of published reports suggests that the aetiology of LGS may be a more complex issue.

Heart rate changes during gauge feeding of neonates.

One hundred and one electrocardiographs (ECGs) were performed on 38 babies, before, during and after gavage feeds. Forty ECGs taken from 22 babies showed a significant bradycardia occurring after tube passage. The risk of this occurring appeared higher with preterms and with babies below 2.5 kg. It is recommended that gavage feeding be restricted to babies above 2.5kg.

Sodium valproate in the prophylaxis of simple febrile convulsions.

Thirty children with simple febrile convulsions were treated with sodium valproate following their second convulsion. Twenty-two of the 30 (73%) had no further convulsions during the one-year period of observation compared with 17 of 28 in the control group (61%). This was not a statistically significant difference. Side effects attributed to sodium valproate treatment were noted in 7 patients (23%), although 4 of these showed only mild transient gastrointestinal symptoms at high dosage. The study did not confirm any advantage in the use of sodium valproate as a prophylaxis for febrile convulsions, although compliance was good and significant side effects infrequent.

Repeat lumbar puncture in the diagnosis of meningitis.

Meningitis may be difficult to diagnose. If it is suspected clinically and a first lumbar puncture is normal, a second cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) sample may be required within a few hours to confirm the diagnosis. A child is presented in whom CSF was normal 14 hours after the onset of illness, but who 14 hours later showed the characteristic changes of purulent meningitis. This case differs from those previously cited in the literature, in that the blood cultures taken at the time of the first lumbar puncture were also negative.
