[Survey on HIV and the control of infection].

During FDI World Dental Congress 1990, field specialists set up a scientific question form to obtain specific information about hygiene procedures in dental offices, knowledge about oral lesions in HIV infection and attitude against HIV infected patients. 540 Belgian dentists replied the question forms correctly. In general, there are no big differences between male and female. Younger dentists seem to be more hygiene minded than older colleagues. But more important is the discrepancy between the risk level and the use of specific hygiene procedures, and the knowledge about specific HIV associated oral pathology.

Neuroradiological findings in Jadassohn nevus phakomatosis: a report of four cases.

Four patients with Jadassohn nevus phakomatosis (linear nevus sebaceus syndrome, Schimmelpenning-Feuerstein syndrome) are described. Neuroradiological findings consisted of skull asymmetry shown by X-rays and hemimegalencephaly with ventricular system asymmetry on CT. Three of the patients showed, in addition, a widened insula. In two patients areas of increased density suggesting calcium deposits were seen. Skull asymmetry was progressive during infancy in two of the patients. It is presumed that these findings are secondary to the progression of the underlying central nervous system disorder.

Feeding behaviour in preterm neonates.

In 100 bottle-fed preterm infants feeding efficiency was studied by quantifying the volume of milk intake per minute and the number of teat insertions per 10 ml of milk intake. These variables were related to gestational age and to number of weeks of feeding experience. Feeding efficiency was greater in infants above 34 weeks gestational age than in those below this age. There was a significant correlation between feeding efficiency and the duration of feeding experience at most gestational ages between 32 and 37 weeks. A characteristic adducted and flexed arm posture was observed during feeding: it changed along with feeding experience. A neonatal feeding score was devised that allowed the quantification of the early oral feeding behavior. The feeding score correlated well with some aspects of perinatal assessment, with some aspects of the neonatal neurological evaluation and with developmental assessment at 7 months of age. These findings are a stimulus to continue our study into the relationships between feeding behaviour and other aspects of early development, especially of neurological development.

Neuropsychological study in treated thyroid dysgenesis.

Neuropsychological assessment was carried out in 57 patients aged 3.0 to 17.5 years (mean 8.5) with thyroid dysgenesis under adequate long-term therapy. Starting age of hypothyroidism as estimated by bone age at diagnosis was prenatal in 32 cases, close to birth in 13 cases and postnatal of 1-12 months in 12 cases. Hypothyroidism of prenatal onset results in severe neuropsychological disorders and mental retardation if not treated early. Only some signs of "minimal brain dysfunction" which compensate with advancing age and normal IQ are found in these children if therapy is started before one month of age. Hypothyroidism starting at birth does not result in mental retardation but neuropsychological disorders are found. They are more frequent if treatment is started after 6 months of age. Children who become hypothyroid between 1 and 12 months of age are usually not mentally retarded and show minor neuropsychological disorders.
