Juvenile polyposis: a case with early presentation and death attributable to adenocarcinoma of the pancreas.

A male child who first presented in the second year of life demonstrated all the recognized clinicopathological manifestations of juvenile polyposis with associated birth defects. Subsequent death at age 19 years from adenocarcinoma of the pancreas further broadens the recognized spectrum of possible sequelae in this disorder and is in keeping with current hypotheses of inherent cancer potential throughout the polyposis syndromes.

Acute chromium poisoning in a 2 year old child.

Sodium dichromate ingestion in children is uncommon and potentially lethal. The most appropriate management is uncertain because of the lack of sound data contained in the few reports of successfully treated patients. Immediate treatment should include urgent induction of emesis, administration of ascorbic acid as an antidote, followed by supportive treatment.

Some epidemiological aspects of pyloric stenosis in British Columbia.

The records of an ongoing Health Surveillance Registry that utilizing multiple sources of ascertainment were used to study the incidence rate of infantile hypertrophic pyloric stenosis (IHPS) in liveborn children in British Columbia during the period 1966--1977 inclusive. The incidence was 4.6 male/1,000 livebirths and 1.2 females/1,000 livebirths, giving a male to female ratio of 3.1 to 1. No significant overall incidence variations with time could be shown during the study period. There was suggestive evidence of independent sex-incidence variation in different geographical regions, which clearly warrants further investigation.

Lack of breast feeding and early weaning in infants of Asian immigrants to Wolverhampton.

Fifty Asian immigrant mothers who would have expected to breast feed their infants had they remained in rural Asia were studied. There was a striking reduction in the incidence and duration of breast feeding on arrival in the United Kingdom, and a fall in the age of weaning. The availability of an alternative to human milk is the most important factor reducing the incidence of breast feeding. Only 2 (4%) of the 46 infants followed prospectively were breast fed. Reasons for not breast feeding were sought and the results indicated that the majority of mothers were frightened, misinformed, or apathetic about breast feeding. If breast feeding is to be promoted, antenatal education and encouragement is essential. The advantages of human milk need to be stressed. Potentially serious mistakes occurred in preparing bottle feeds, and vitamin supplements were often inadequate. Later weaning could be encouraged by the staff of well baby clinics.
