[Assisted ventilation in infants with acute bronchiolitis].

Our experience concerns 36 infants ventilated for bronchiolitis over the last five years. Among the infants admitted in the pediatric department during the same period 11% have been ventilated. Their age ranged between 1.5 and 49.5 weeks (mean 9.2 weeks) and their weight between 2,700 and 8,000 g (mean 3,841 g). Fourteen were premature born infants. 16 patients have been intubated for apneas, 13 for clinical deterioration and 10 for hypercarbia. The duration of ventilation ranged between 1 and 18 days (mean 6.5 days). No death occurred. Neither neurological nor respiratory sequelae could be related to ventilation. Mechanical ventilation is a safe method able to suppress mortality in infants bronchiolitis.

[Evaluation of the protocol for management of the first uncomplicated febrile convulsion].

A protocol of rationalized management of the first non complicated febrile seizure was used in 42 children and the results were compared with those observed in the past without the new protocol. The quality of medical data collected from the parents and those given to the family and their practitioner have been improved; the duration of the hospitalization was shorter, the examinations were fewer and the savings realised per child were 3,175 francs.

[The 49 XXXXY syndrome. Report of a further case with leg ulcer and endocrine abnormalities (author's transl)].

A 40 years old man with 49 XXXXY chromosomes is reported who has been suffering from a leg ulcer for many years. Clinical features were those usually seen in patients with the 49 XXXXY syndome. Low plasma testosterone level, elevated LH and FSH levels, and thyroid dysfunction wigh high peripheral blood TSH levels were the main endocrine anomalies in this patient. The association between the occurence of leg ulcers and sex chromosome anomalies is discussed. The endocrine dysfunction in this patient is compared to the endocrine features of Klinefelter's syndrome.

[Idiopathic syndrome of inappropriate secretion of antidiuretic hormone].

The authors report a case of idiopathic, chronic inappropriate secretion of antidiuretic hormone (S I A D H) in a 31 months old boy. This inappropriate secretion of ADH was demonstrated by three water tolerance tests and by the bioassays of ADH in urine. These findings were detected five months later suggesting chronic S I A D H. After a review of the literature the mechanism and the treatment of this disease are discussed.
