[Stigmatizing patients at an inpatient unit of child and adolescent psychiatry].

In a pilot study covering a sample of n = 25 children formerly treated as in-patients within a child psychiatric unit and n = 40 parents of former in-patients, approx. 30% of the parents indicated that their children had been exposed to stigmatizing behaviour reactions by their social environment in consequence of their stay at the unit. The children themselves felt stigmatized in approx. 50% of cases. Correlations between stigmatization and demographic variables, characteristics of treatment or subjects' attitudes towards child and adolescent psychiatry were rarely found to be significant. Because of their fear of stigmatization, there are tendencies among parents as well as patients to conceal the children's in-patient treatment, these tendencies sometimes even concerning the inner family circle. The paper stresses the need for child and adolescent psychiatry to face the problem of patient stigmatization and suggests possible steps to be taken in order to relieve or even prevent stigmatization.

[Problems and characteristics of the orthodontic treatment of a patient with adrenogenital syndrome].

This article describes biochemical relationships accompanying pathological symptoms of C-21-hydroxylase deficiency (adrenogenital syndrome). Disturbances of bone growth and development have been observed, even during medical treatment. A discrepancy of 2 1/2 years was noted between the patients chronological age and his bone development. The patient reaches a maximum height of 155 to 160 cm. Supernumeraries and delayed mineralisation are to be expected. Surgical procedures require an increase in cortisone dosage. When considering orthodontic treatment, one must determine the most appropriate time to start, take into account the long retention period and pay particular attention to oral hygiene.
