Selective angiocardiography in congenital heart disease.

Angiocardiography has come to be a highly specialized procedure and there are definite indications for doing it. In specific cases it offers clear-cut advantages. Technical improvements permit a single injection of a small amount of contrast substance. Selective angiocardiography is advised where the particular detail of a certain region in the heart is desired.

Determining blood pressure in infants: use of the flush technique.

The flush technique that recently has come into use is probably the most satisfactory method available for measuring blood pressures in infants and is of great aid in diagnosis of diseases associated with hypertension or hypotension. The method is practical and highly accurate. Readings obtained by this technique are not influenced by the width of the cuff, are usually higher at the wrist than at the ankle, and approximate the mean rather than the systolic blood pressure.

Retrolental fibroplasia; a reduction in incidence following a decrease in use of oxygen therapy for premature infants.

The incidence of retrolental fibroplasia in a general hospital for the period January 1952 to January 1955 was reviewed and it was noted that a sharp decrease in incidence was associated with a reduction in the intensity of oxygen therapy. Retrolental fibroplasia developed most frequently in the smallest premature infants and no cases occurred in infants weighing more than 2,000 gm. at birth.
