[Effect of a synthetic detergent (Syndet) on the pH of the skin of infants].

The long- and short-term effects on the skin of infants of a synthetic detergent (syndet) with an acid pH were investigated and compared to ordinary soap. The short-term effect was determined by measuring the skin pH on different parts of the body before and 20 min after washing with syndet. The long-term effect was tested in a second group, in which the infants were washed either with ordinary soap or with syndet for 3 days. The skin pH was measured 4-5 h after washing. The results were evaluated statistically. The results show that for a short time syndet displaces the skin pH towards acid pH in younger infants; however, the skin pH is not influenced in older infants. Syndet keeps the skin pH in the physiological range for a longer time after washing than ordinary soap.

Acid-Base Equilibrium

[Omphalocele and gastroschisis: clinical differences and surgical considerations. A ten year review (author's transl)].

31 infants with anterior abdominal wall defects were treated over the past 10 years. Despite the falling birth rate gastroschisis occurred almost twice as often as omphalocele (19 and 12 cases, respectively). The mortality rate of 71% in omphalocele were related to large defects, rupture of the sac and associated cardiac malformations. The 73% incidence of prematurity, additional malformations and sepsis contributed to the mortality rate of 58% in gastroschisis.

Abdominal Muscles

[So-called Friedreich's foot (author's transl)].

Friedreich's foot represents a conspicuous, but diagnostically nonspecific, symptom of neurologic disorder in children. The importance of the differential diagnosis for this symptom is illustrated with the help of observations made by the authors.

Adolescent

[Training and further education in pediatrics: experience and models in Austria (author's transl)].

A new legal standard was destined for the postgraduate medical training in Austria in 1973. Details and the practical application of this regulation concerning the pediatric specialty are discussed. Special emphasis is given to the need for better integration of the didactic technics in the teaching methods of university hospitals. A special board examination is still point at issue, but should be established in the near future.
