Changes in renal volume during normal pregnancy.

Twenty-four healthy pregnant women with a normal pregnancy demonstrated a significant uniform enlargement of both kidneys. The renal volumes increased by a maximum of 30% during pregnancy. However, this could not be attributed to hydronephrosis, as the patients were selected in such a way that none with pelvectasia participated in the study. All regained normal renal volume within the first week after delivery. It is well known that a glomerular hyperfiltration takes place during normal pregnancy. Possible pathogenetic mechanisms are discussed.

The incidence of gastro-oesophageal reflux in children with exogenic and endogenic asthma tested by a new radiological method.

24 asthmatic children and 15 children without any respiratory or gastrointestinal signs of symptoms were investigated for gastro-oesophageal reflux (GER) by a new radiological test in which the child swallowed a piece of rye bread with liver paté after intake of a glass of Mixobar (600 mg/ml barium sulphate). The asthmatic children were divided into an exogenic and an endogenic group. 62.5% of the endogenically asthmatic children had GER (p less than 0.01) and 19% in the exogenic group. In normal children only one child had GER (7%). Furthermore, GER was more frequent in asthmatic children with nightly cough compared to asthmatic children without nightly cough (p less than 0.02). It is concluded that GER reflux occurred significantly more often in patients with endogenic asthma and/or nightly cough when compared to normal children.

[CT study of aortic aneurysms with complications].

Two case reports demonstrate the value of CT examination in abdominal aortic aneurysms with complications where the diagnosis is doubtful although an acute operation is not indicated. The method is non-invasive, rapid, does not require anaesthesia, and yields detailed anatomical information on vascular and other structures as desired. It is variable in accordance with the problems to be solved.
