Issues and experience around the Paediatric Register of Inflammatory Bowel Disease.

Accurate epidemiological data is one of the most important tools to elucidate disease aetiology and natural history. Disease registers are the cornerstone of this process. The importance of registers in facilitating an efficient health service is clear. We have been engaged in the development of a register of paediatric inflammatory bowel diseases, and in this article we present a general overview of registers and of lessons we have learnt along the way.

Cholelithiasis in early infancy

This report describes three children, age range 7 weeks to 5 months, who presented with obstructive jaundice secondary to gallstones. Previous Escherichia coli septicaemia and frusemide therapy were predisposing risk factors in two of the patients. All three were successfully treated with cholecystectomy and exploration of the common bile duct.

The biotransformation of t-butylacetonitrile and its boron-containing analogue trimethylamine-cyanoborane by Brevibacterium R312.

The ability of the nitrile hydratase/amidase system from Brevibacterium R312 to biotransform tert-butylacetonitrile was studied with a view to their utilisation in the production of novel amino acids from isostructural compounds. Brevibacterium R312 was able to transform nitriles with this structure; however, the wide spectrum amidase from this organism was unable to biotransform the corresponding amide to the carboxylic acid.
