Abstract Endoscopic retrograde choledochopancreatography (ERCP) was employed in 52 patients symptomatic after cholecystectomy in whom barium meal studies and intravenous cholangiography had failed to yield a diagnosis. Cannulation of the papilla of Vater was carried out in 50 of the patients in a mean time of 10 min. Diagnostic information demonstrating a pathological lesion or a normal biliary and pancreatic ductal system was obtained by means of endoscopy and ERCP in 48 cases. There were no serious ...

Summary— This study examined an association between cerebral palsy and cryptorchism. Twenty-one (53.8%) in a group of 39 severely disabled males exhibited cryptorchism to a varying degree. A striking feature was the high proportion with an impalpable testis on one (1 5.4%) or both (7.7%) sides. Early damage to the fetal hypothalamo-pituitary axis is suggested as the likely causative factor.

The experience of a regional children's hospital in the management of intrathoracic neural crest tumors over a period of 20 years is presented. Of 145 children with neuroblastoma between 1961 and 1980 inclusive, 115 had primary abdominal neuroblastoma (including pelvic) with a mortality of 86%; 30 patients had a thoracic neuroblastoma with a mortality of 16.5% (five patients). The more favorable outlook in this group should imply a more cautious approach to the initiation of treatment regimens which ...

The influence of an indwelling transanastomotic silicon tube on healing esophageal anastomosis in puppies was studied by making resin casts of the reconstructed esophagus. These casts demonstrated stenosis but no difference in the group with a transanastomic tube was seen. Stenotic index of the puppies varied from 0.7 to 0.97 (no stenosis=1). An important observation made during the study was the presence of shelfing of scar tissue on the posterior esophageal wall. This was the site of mucosal ulceration, ...

The dearth of plasma alpha fetoprotein reference ranges for preterm infants often impairs the clinical interpretation of plasma alpha fetoprotein data collected from ill babies. This study tested our hypothesis that meaningful plasma reference ranges could be established for preterm infants by a simple correction of patient age at sampling date for gestational age deficit at birth. Using a modified radioimmunoassay kit method, determinations of alpha fetoprotein were performed on capillary and venous ...

Renin-containing cells have been identified in nephroblastoma. A prospective study of eight children with nephroblastoma has demonstrated abnormally high levels of total renin. The increase in total renin was due to increased levels of inactive renin (prorenin), rather than the active renin. These high levels decreased to normal after operation. The plasma level of inactive renin could be a useful biochemical tumor marker in nephroblastoma.

The properties of a new tumour cell line (NB1-G) derived from human neuroblastoma by xenografting in nude rats followed by adaptation to tissue culture are described. Studies using a panel of monoclonal antibodies demonstrate the neuro-ectodermal nature of the cells and support the diagnosis of the primary tumour as neuroblastoma. Cytogenetic studies have revealed a human karyotype with several chromosomal abnormalities. Genetic analysis by in situ DNA hybridization has demonstrated the presence ...

Abstract Collagen-coated Vicryl® mesh was assessed as a prosthetic repair material in the oesophagus of growing piglets. In a group of six piglets (group A), a full thickness defect was created in the oesophagus without fully transecting the organ. The removed tissue was subsequently replaced with a patch of collagen-coated Vicryl mesh. Animals were killed at 4 weeks and in the five surviving piglets the prosthesis had been replaced by host scar tissue with a normal epithelial lining. Two further ...

Fifty one neonatal tumours were diagnosed in Glasgow over a 32 year period. The most common tumours were teratomas (n=19), others being renal tumours (n=9), soft tissue sarcomas (n=8), neuroblastomas (n=7), and others (n=8). Of the total, 31% were malignant. Neonatal tumours pose difficult problems of management, and because of their comparative rarity and the great potential for cure we recommend that all centres dealing with such patients should contribute to and benefit from a Neonatal Tumour Registry.

Fifteen children with cholelithiasis who were treated at the Royal Hospital for Sick Children, Glasgow between 1973 and 1985 are reviewed. Ten patients had idiopathic gallstones and five had gallstones in association with hereditary spherocytosis. All patients have been followed up for between 4 months and 12 years (mean 4.1 years): ultrasonography has been carried out on 13. Fourteen patients underwent surgery of whom only seven had symptoms from their gallstones. Nine patients had cholecystotomy ...

Primary intestinal lymphangiectasia is an uncommon congenital anomaly. It is an intrinsic abnormality of the intestinal lymphatics system. Over the years, various treatment options such as diuretics, albumin transfusions and a medium chain triglycerides (MCT) diet as well as surgical options such as resection of isolated segments and peritoneal-venous shunts have been used. An MCT diet, which is a low fat, high protein diet, is increasingly used in the management of this anomaly.

Thirty-four of the patients presented in the first decade of the study. Fifty-seven per cent (29) developed hydrocephalus and 18 of these required shunting. The overall one year mortality was 23% (12) but only one patient died within the last decade. Of 23 patients followed up by postal questionnaire to general practitioners; ...

Primary Hyperparathyroidism in the neonate is exceptionally rare and is almost invariably fatal unless a prompt diagnosis is made and urgent surgical intervention instituted. The first case was reported in 1947 by Prat et al (30) and since then 35 cases have been published. The true number is probably greater due to the diagnosis being missed both clinically and at autopsy and it has been suggested as a possible contributor to a small number of cases of the Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (17). The authors ...

Neonates can now be expected to survive with very short lengths of bowel because of advances in pediatric neonatal care and in parenteral and enteral nutrition. Most pediatric surgeons have only a few patients with this problem under their care, so individual experience is limited.

This article reviews the management and mortality of 53 neonates with meconium ileus and cystic fibrosis treated in one paediatric surgical centre from 1972 to 1990. Forty-four patients (83 per cent) presented with simple meconium ileus and 26 of 40 patients in this group were successfully treated with Gastrografin enemas. Four patients suffered a perforation as a result of the enema (perforation rate 5 per cent). The 1-year survival rate for simple meconium ileus was 81 per cent and for complicated ...
