[Platelet aggregation in diabetes mellitus in children].

Platelets-endothelial cells interaction appears to cause vascular damage in diabetes. Platelet aggregation was studied in 24 diabetic children and adolescents (mean age: 12.2 years, mean duration of diabetes: 3.3 years), with only one presenting microangiopathy complications (retinopathy). Platelet aggregation was found to be normal, suggesting that there is usually no platelet hyperactivity in diabetic children.

[The association of diabetes and celiac disease: the value of assaying antireticulin antibodies].

The authors studied the specificity and the sensitivity of serum anti-reticulin IgA type antibody determination for the diagnosis of coeliac disease in diabetic patients. They observed a frequency of 11.1% coeliac disease among a group of 54 type I juvenile diabetic patients. The search for serum antireticulin IgA type antibodies appears to be an efficient method for identifying patients with coeliac disease; it has a specificity of 98% and a sensitivity of 95%. This marker appears to be particularly well suited for the identification of asymptomatic forms, and also for surveillance of diet during the course of coeliac disease.

[Calcification of the intervertebral disks in children: apropos of a case].

The authors report a case of calcifications of an intervertebral cervical disk in a 12-year-old boy. A torticollis was the clinically revealing event. As in the majority of the published cases, the etiology remained unknown and the evolution was simple with complete regression of the calcifications.
