[Arthrogryposis multiplex congenita with associated abnormalities. Case report of a fatal course in a premature triplet].
A male premature triplet with healthy siblings was born with characteristic symptoms of a Rossi syndrome: pterygiums at neck, axillae, elbows and in a moderate way at hips and knees with inhibition of extension of the affected joints, dislocation of the right hip, club-feet, cutis laxa et hyperelastica, facial dysmorphism, double pelvis renalis with ureter duplex on the right side, kryptorchidism, hypoplastic genital. The boy died after 38 days because of a haemorrhage of the lungs. An intrauterine immobilisation is discussed as cause of the syndrome.

What kind of noise increases with age?
It was hypothesized that internal representations of visually presented stimuli are noisier because of higher random neural activity or less precise relations among neuronal units in the central nervous systems (CNSs) of older persons than in younger persons. The rationale for and results from manipulations designed to examine predictions derived from this hypothesis are discussed. Age-related differences in an incomplete picture-identification task were found to be similar to those resulting from the addition of random background noise in stimulus displays of young adults.

Trace element concentrations in commonly used intravenous fluids.
The concentrations of several essential trace elements in various intravenous fluids commonly used in South Africa were measured. With the exception of 4% human serum albumin and fresh freeze-dried plasma (FDP), intravenous fluids contained minimal amounts of essential trace elements. Although FDP contained significant quantities of zinc, copper, iron and chromium, the common practice of giving patients on total parenteral nutrition 1-2 units per week will not fulfil the recommended daily requirements. Additional trace element supplements should therefore be given intravenously to these patients.

[Pathogenesis, diagnosis, clinical and therapeutic aspects of ataxia telangiectasia].
Ataxia-telangiectasia (AT) is an autosomal recessively inherited disease (one case in 40,000 to one case in 100,000 live births) whose principal features are oculocutaneous telangiectasia, progressive cerebellar ataxia, B- and T-cell immunodeficiency with recurrent sinopulmonary infections, sensitivity to ionizing radiation and cancer predisposition. The AT-gene (ATM) was recently identified by positional cloning on chromosome 11q22-23. In this paper the diagnostic, clinical and therapeutic problems of 9 AT-patients treated in our clinic are discussed in context with the current literature. Although all patients had discrete signs of cerebellar ataxia at infancy, there was a significant delay of definitive diagnosis (median 4, range 1.5-6.5). Elevated alpha fetoprotein levels clearly distinguish AT from other ataxias and immunodeficiency syndromes.
