Side bias and accidents in Japan and India.

The purpose of this study was to examine (a) the incidence of leftward bias for paired organs (hand, foot, eye, and ear) in India (n = 418) and Japan (n = 697), and (b) the incidence of accident amongst individuals with leftward, rightward, and no bias across countries. The impetus for the study was obtained from a speculation that individuals with leftward bias commit more accidents than their counterparts. Data were collected with the help of a questionnaire on side bias, along with a check-list on accidents (included in the questionnaire). Results showed that participants from these two countries did not differ in terms of leftwardness for any of these forms of side bias. Left-handers were found to commit more accidents in India but not in Japan. Reanalysis of data in terms of left-, mixed-, and right-handedness indicated that mixed handers committed more accidents than extreme (left- + right-) handers in Japan but not in India.

CT in complete congenital eventration of diaphragm with aplasia of lung.

Complete eventration of the diaphragm and pulmonary aplasia, though rare anomalies, should be considered in new-borns with respiratory distress. Such anomalous conditions occurring either alone or in combination elude diagnosis and pose problems for management. CT is a very effective, non invasive means of diagnosis which in the past depended largely on invasive procedures such as bronchography, angiography and thoracotomy.

CT diagnosis of strangulated diaphragmatic hernia.

Strangulated diaphragmatic hernia is a surgical emergency which on occasions can be a diagnostic dilemma. We report of a 2-year-old-male child with strangulated diaphragmatic hernia in whom a correct preoperative diagnosis was made with progression of illness. CT depicted a curvilinear fat stripe in a fluid filled hemithorax.

Faecal fistulae in children.

Faecal fistula has been a challenging problem for every surgeon. It develops spontaneously, postoperatively or post-traumatically. Spontaneous faecal fistula develops following peritonitis. Tuberculous peritonitis is an important cause in developing countries. Postoperative faecal fistula develops after enteric perforation or appendicular diseases. Abdominal trauma-blunt, penetrating or perforating, isolated or part of multiple injuries--can lead to faecal fistula. Faecal fistula is more common after emergency surgery, especially in malnourished children. Faecal fistula leads to unnatural losses of fluid and electrolytes and malnutrition. Infection is generally a causative factor or the malnourished child with faecal fistula develops infection very fast. Assessment of the general condition of the child and the level of the fistula is very important in treating the child. Correction of fluid and electrolyte balance, control of infection and supplementation of nutrition is the basis of treatment. Improved parasurgical care and parenteral hyperalimentation has improved the survival rate and the spontaneous healing, reducing the need for surgical intervention.

Computed tomography in botryoid rhabdomyosarcoma of urinary bladder.

Genituorinary tract is a common site of origin of rhabdomyosarcomas. Not very many cases of urinary bladder rhabdomyosarcomas have been reported in the computed tomography literature. We present computed tomography appearances which were virtually classical to diagnose botryoid variety of embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma in a two year old male child.
