[Craniofacial amniogenic malformations within the Adam complex (author's transl)].

Four children are described with amniotic deformities in the craniofacial region. Besides encephaloceles, hydrocephalus, facial clefts, amniotic bands and furrows we observed in three of these children the deformities of the extremities which are characteristic of amniogenic malformations, such as syndactylias and mutilations, associated with ring constructions. The article describes the state of knowledge with regard to pathogenesis. Epidemiology of the disease permits to assume a very low risk of repeat occurrence with the parents concerned.

[Results and consequences using Prechtl's concept of optimal conditions. Obstetrical and Postnatal complications (author's transl)].

An extended list of Prechtl's list of optimal obstetric conditions was used to describe the history of 200 newborns, randomly chosen from a defined population born in 1972. Differences between the population from Groningen (Prechtl's) and Tübingen, and different definitions of the items used in the list are discussed. Reduced optimal conditions in the history of the mother effectively reduced the optimal conditions in the newborn aswell. This was particularly so in case of: Preterm deliveries and miscarriages, bleedings in the first trimester, preterm onset of labour, operative deliveries, less than 38 weeks of gestational age, and an Apgar score below 7.

[Distribution of obstetrical and postnatal risk-factors in 400 randomly selected newborns. A study using Prechtl's concept of optimal conditions (author's transl)].

The distribution of obstetrical and postnatal risk-factors in a population of 400 newborns was investigated. For documentation, an extended list of Prechtl's list of optimal obstetric conditions was used. The newborns had been selected randomly from two populations, born 1972 in two different hospitals (County hospital, University hospital). The reduction of optimal conditions was calculated by percentiles. It was found that the number -3 (of 52 items, representing full optimal conditions) defined the 10th percentile of the population; number -5 the median, and number -10 the 90th percentile. In addition, percentiles were calculated regarding the history of the mother and the history of the infant respectively. Using the distribution of reduced obstetrical and postnatal optimal conditions allows to compare the history of a single newborn or the histories of a population of newborns with defined problems. Newborns with rather low negative numbers of reduced optimal conditions are at lower risk regarding their psychomotor development wheras newborns with high negative numbers carry a much higher irsk in this respect.

[Results of intensive care and intensive therapy of very low birth-weight infants (author's transl)].

Newborns of less than 1500 g birth-weight are thought to be especially at risk with regard to their psychomotor development. Among 71 such infants admitted to the University Childrens Clinic, Tübingen, in 1974-1975, 43 survived (38% mortality). All but two of them were followed serially and assessed for their psychomotor development. Five were found to be abnormal (12%), three of them most probably having sustained CNS damage prenatally.

Pits and fissures: morphology.

The morphology of fissures occlusally was examined by splitting teeth along fissures; this split occurred from the base of the fissure and was checked by serial sectioning. The conclusion is that fissures tend to be an association of adjacent pits. Staining of teeth for fissure shape determination indicates a high presence of organic material in fissures and pits with stained pellicle between pits. The pellicle is often very evident on the lower inclines of cusps, in the region where retention is sought for sealants. In a second phase, an examination of a large number of extracted molars showed that the occlusal fissure extension buccally in lower molars and lingually in upper molars was nearly always interrupted by an enamel col between adjacent cusps. Grooves occlusally or axially adjacent to fissures are often surfaced with stained pellicle. This may be mistaken on visual examination without magnification as extensions of fissures.
