This article describes the difficulties frequently encountered in managing glycaemic control in the transition periods from childhood through adolescence to adulthood, with a description of four cases illustrating these points
Abstract:
The transition from childhood through adolescence to adulthood is a difficult stage, particularly for patients with type 1 diabetes. The yearning for autonomy and independence, as well as the hormonal changes around the time of puberty, can manifest in poor glycaemic control. The focus on diet and weight increases the prevalence of eating disorders, compounding the difficulties in more...

The existence of familial de Lange syndrome has been documented in sibs and in parent-child families, but the inheritance pattern continues to be the cause of much debate. We describe a classically affected neonate with de Lange syndrome, an affected mother and probably affected maternal grandmother. These cases show evidence for a dominantly inherited syndrome with a de Lange phenotype. more...

A male infant is reported with bilateral low-set dysplastic ears, a severe cardiac defect, rib and vertebral anomalies, and intestinal malrotation. Karyotype and metabolic investigations were normal. Some clinical overlap with Goldenhar syndrome is observed but the symmetry of the facial features makes this diagnosis difficult to sustain. We feel this case may represent a previously more...

Abstract:
OBJECTIVE AND IMPORTANCE: Distal ventriculoperitoneal shunt failure has been associated with absorption failure secondary to previous peritonitis. This assumption has caused surgeons to seek alternate sites for distal catheter placement. We propose that the absorptive potential of the peritoneal cavity should be assessed before that site is discounted for catheter placement. CLINICAL more...
