[2 cases of pyloric atresia].

Two cases of pyloric atresia are presented. In the first case an isoperistaltic gastroenterostomia was performed with an atretic long segment. In the second child, pyloroplasty according to Finney was performed. The different possibilities of treatment are discussed.

[Treatment of hydrocephalus with Cordis-Hakim valve (author's transl)].

The management of hydrocephalus in children is discussed. 19 children are reported for revision surgery, physical and mental development and changes is skull circumference are described. The Cordis-Hakim valves were tested in relation to pressure, flow rate, protein concentration in C.S.F. These tests have shown that the Cordis-Hakim valve is very satisfactory.

[Congenital bifid sternum (author's transl)].

The authors give a short description of the frequency and types of the rare deformities of the sternum. Following a detailed presentation of the various methods of treatment, three of their own observations, one of them an ectopia cordis, are given as case-reports. Two of these patients have already been observed over a long period.

[Management of multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome type 2 families in association with rare germline mutations of the RET proto-oncogene].

INTRODUCTION: Heredity of MEN2 syndromes is caused by a heterozygous germline mutation in the RET proto-oncogene. This study describes families with rare noncysteine codon 790/791 mutations and discusses the genotype-phenotype correlation plus the therapeutic options. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Forty-five patients with a putative sporadic MTC were screened for RET germline mutations by direct DNA sequencing. Family members of identified index cases underwent genetic analysis. Gene carriers were examined clinically and biochemicaly and underwent prophylactic thyroidectomy. RESULTS: Five index patients were identified. In the kindreds three L790F and one Y791F carriers were detected. The thyroid gland histology of L790F carriers revealed MTC in 2 patients and C-cell hyperplasia in 2 additional patients. The Y791F carrier had a normal histology. CONCLUSIONS: Codon 790/791 mutations had diverse penetrance: prophylactic thyreoidectomy in children is a justifiable approach for codon 790 mutation carriers, but should depend on the clinical course of codon 791 carriers.

[Recurrent hemorrhage from a duodenal ulcer in a 5-year-old healthy boy. A case report].

Peptic ulcers in infants are rare. We report a 5-year-old boy who was admitted with recurrent bleeding from a huge duodenal ulcer. There were no concomitant disease and no preceding symptoms discovered. The only clinical symptom was bloody stool of light red color what led to diagnostic problems. Upper gastrointestinal bleeding was not considered initially. Short transit time through the gut may suggest a bleeding source within the lower intestine. Gastroscopy was performed delayed. Injection therapy of the ulcer once using fibrin sealant was followed by definite cessation of bleeding. Helicobacter pylori was not found. Hormone producing tumors could be excluded. There was a psycho-social situation of stress recognizable for the infant. The pathogenic mechanism of peptic ulceration due to psycho-social stress is unknown and somewhat doubtful at all. Peptic ulcer disease in infants and children should more often be considered when dealing with diffuse abdominal pain or with gastrointestinal bleeding.

Developing a European Internet and kiosk-based health information system.

A consortium of partner organisations (universities, health care organisations and information technology companies) from Northern Ireland, Germany, Portugal and Italy have collaborated to develop a multi-lingual, multi-media Internet and kiosk-based health information system in cardiology and skin cancer. The project, CATCH II (Citizens Advisory System based on Telematics for Communication and Health), has been funded by the European Commission under the Fourth Framework Research and Development TELEMATICS Applications Program (TAP), Health Care Sector. In this paper we provide an overview of the system and the methodological approach adopted. Key characteristics with respect to the technical architecture and flexible customisation of different web and kiosk-based versions will be presented. In particular, the development of dedicated software for the procurement, structuring and management of the information knowledge-base is illustrated. Some of the most interesting findings from a cross-national study of health information needs on the internet are presented along with information on the validation of the system by the general public, content providers and health care authorities.
