CASE-FINDING IN PHENYLKETONURIA. I. REPORT OF A SURVEY BY THE COLLEGE OF GENERAL PRACTICE OF CANADA.

In the years 1961 and 1962 the College of General Practice of Canada undertook a survey to detect infants with phenylketonuria. Routine urine tests for phenylketonuria were performed on all babies in a number of practices and records were kept. On a total of 4334 babies 6247 tests were carried out. Physicians' comments and the ages at which first, second and third urine tests were performed are reported. In an 18-month period, three confirmed and two probable cases of phenylketonuria were discovered.Although it is not necessarily the most efficient method of case-finding, it is recommended that testing the urine for phenylketonuria should be a part of routine baby care.

Aortic stenosis: surgical treatment under direct vision, using the heartlung machine.

Cardiac operation with the operative field under direct vision and the patient's oxygenation maintained by a heart-lung machine affords an excellent means of treating aortic stenosis, for it allows unlimited time in which to repair aortic stenosis no matter how involved the cusps are with calcium. The valves can be sculptured and the commissures cut at their place of fusion. Concomitant aortic insufficiency can also be taken care of at the same time, as can associated mitral valve stenosis and insufficiency. This method was used in ten patients. Two died. Eight were considerably improved.
