Isotachophoresis as a useful tool for monitoring neurological complications of acute leukaemia in children.

Cerebrospinal fluid proteins from 42 children with acute lymphoblastic leukaemia were analysed by isotachophoresis. The isotachopherograms of cerebrospinal fluid taken from patients undergoing central nervous system prophylaxis with neurological complications showed an increase of several peaks (albumin, prealbumin, and an unidentified peak), and changes in the globulin zone, compared with those from patients who had completed central nervous system prophylaxis for at least six months. The most striking finding was that these alterations were not associated with any other biochemical changes in the cerebrospinal fluid, as assayed by routine analysis. Isotachophoresis may be useful in the monitoring of therapy in children affected with acute lymphoblastic leukaemia.

Clostridium difficile isolation in leukemic children on maintenance cancer chemotherapy. A preliminary study.

Between December 1982 and November 1983, stool specimens from 15 children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia, who were on maintenance cancer chemotherapy, were examined weekly for the presence of Clostridium difficile and its toxin. Four out of 15 patients were positive for C. difficile: three patients had stool specimens that did not contain toxin, but cultures yielded growth of toxigenic C. difficile on only one occasion. The fourth patient, who had a recent history of hospitalization, particularly aggressive cancer chemotherapy, neutropenia, and antibiotic therapy, excreted both C. difficile and its toxin for at least 1 month. All children were asymptomatic at the time of positive cultures. This preliminary study reveals a low rate of C. difficile colonization in leukemic children on maintenance cancer chemotherapy.

A psychotherapeutic approach with elementary school teachers.

The tradional "lectures delivering" approach to classroom teachers used by mental health practitioners is investigated in the present study. An attempt is made to demonstrate the validity of preventative work in helping elementary school teachers as important agents in the promotion of more positive mental hygiene in the classroom and by adding to the lectures the variable of group therapy--"ego-sparing" techniques type. The latter approach seems to promote a teacher's own sense of security in dealing the pupils, an easier acceptance of differences in others, and, finally, it tends to stimulate the development of a teacher's own ability to deal sensibly, more conscientiously, and more realistically with daily problems.
