[Asymmetrical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy in neonates of diabetic mothers].

In 11 neonates of diabetic mothers echocardiography was systematically performed and led to the discovery of 6 cases with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. This abnormality, which may induce cardiorespiratory failure, is usually benign and consists of systolic murmur and transitory cardiomegaly; all these symptoms spontaneously regress within a few weeks. This cardiomyopathy may present with obstructive signs requiring treatment with beta adrenergic blocking agents; however, it is more often pure and needs no treatment. It may be observed after pregnancies that were not well supervised and might be induced by fetal hyperinsulinism.

Cerebrospinal fluid cytomorphology in neonates.

A prospective cytologic study of cerebrospinal fluids from 57 full-term neonates confirmed the previously reported cellular polymorphism. The cells were classified as (1) exogenous cells, (2) blood and bone-marrow cells, (3) histiomonocytes, (4) cell aggregates and (5) "free" cells. Histiomonocytes were a constant feature in these fluids and were the cause of neonatal pleiocytosis. Various degrees of activation could be recognized. The so-called inactive forms were closely related to brain damage. Identification of erythrophages and siderophages had diagnostic significance. The presence of fat in macrophages (lipophages) suggested a serious developmental disorder. The free cells were incompletely identified, as were the cell aggregates, which probably originate in the meningeal lining. Both require further study.

[Transient hypothyroidism in 8 low birth weight newborns. Role of topical application of iodine chemicals].

Very low plasma levels of thyroxine with a parallel decrease in the free thyroxine index were observed in 8 low birth weight infants. The tri-iodo-thyronine levels were slightly but significantly reduced and there was a concommitant increase in thyrotropin concentrations. The abnormalities, which were usually seen between the 10th--45th day, were transitory and resolved completely. The possible role of topical iodinated products is discussed.
