Isolated Cataplexy: A Familial Study, Kristyna M. Hartse, Frank J. Zorick, Jeanne M. Sicklesteel, Thomas Roth Dec 1988

Isolated Cataplexy: A Familial Study, Kristyna M. Hartse, Frank J. Zorick, Jeanne M. Sicklesteel, Thomas Roth

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

Four members of a family, a mother, her two sons, and the mother's second cousin, presented with a history of isolated cataplexy without excessive daytime sleepiness or other symptoms typical of narcolepsy. They were polygraphically monitored during one night followed by a day of multiple nap tests. No subject manifested objective daytime sleepiness as measured by short latencies to sleep onset during daytime naps, and no subject exhibited periods of sleep onset rapid eye movement sleep in either the night or nap recordings. The incidence of isolated cataplexy in this family was traced by history through six generations. We conclude …

Duplication And Deletion 11q23-Q24 Recombinants In Two Offspring Of An Intrachromosomal Insertion ("Shift") Carrier, Miriam G. Forsythe, Hugh Walker, Lester Weiss, Jacquelyn R. Roberson, Maria J. Worsham, V. Ramesh Babu, Daniel L. Van Dyke Dec 1988

Duplication And Deletion 11q23-Q24 Recombinants In Two Offspring Of An Intrachromosomal Insertion ("Shift") Carrier, Miriam G. Forsythe, Hugh Walker, Lester Weiss, Jacquelyn R. Roberson, Maria J. Worsham, V. Ramesh Babu, Daniel L. Van Dyke

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

Few examples of intrachromosomal insertions have been described. These usually result from deletion of a segment of chromosome material, with insertion of the deleted material elsewhere on the same chromosome. Previous insertional translocations have been identified through a proband who has either a deletion or a duplication of the inserted segment. We describe a family which has two probands, one with a duplication and one with a deletion of the inserted segment. The unbalanced chromosomes probably resulted from an uneven number of crossovers between the breakpoints in the chromosome 11 of the father, who carries a balanced intrachromosomal insertion of …

Perinatal Idiopathic Hemochromatosis, Usha B. Raju, Sudhakar Ezhuthachan, Chan K. Ma Dec 1988

Perinatal Idiopathic Hemochromatosis, Usha B. Raju, Sudhakar Ezhuthachan, Chan K. Ma

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

We report the clinicopathologic features of an infant who died of a rare form of perinatal cirrhosis associated with idiopathic hepatic and extrahepatic parenchymal siderosis. The infant appeared normal at birth but soon became severely ill, following a progressively downhill course associated with hypoglycemia, metabolic acidosis, bleeding diathesis, jaundice, and shock. The infant died at 7 days of age. The manifestations were those of hepatic failure but mimicked sepsis and disseminated intravascular coagulation. Cirrhosis, giant cell transformation, and parenchymal iron deposition characteristic of perinatal idiopathic hemochromatosis, a recently emerging clinicopathologic entity of unknown etiology, were present in this infant. These …

Serum Creatinine Concentrations In Healthy Newborns: Reference Ranges During The First Five Days Of Life, Jennie Andreson, Jaime Alfredo Zegarra, Carlos Alberto Estrada, Francis Dumler Dec 1988

Serum Creatinine Concentrations In Healthy Newborns: Reference Ranges During The First Five Days Of Life, Jennie Andreson, Jaime Alfredo Zegarra, Carlos Alberto Estrada, Francis Dumler

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

Serum creatinine concentrations were studied in 52 healthy, full-term infants (29 males and 23 females) during the first five days of life. At birth, mean serum creatinine concentration was 0.76 ± 0.13 mg/dL. At 6 hours of life, values increased to 0.97 ± 0.11 mg/dL (P < 0.001) and remained elevated for 24 hours. Values then returned to baseline so that serum creatinine concentrations were 0.81 ± 0.15 mg/dL at 48 hours and 0.6l ± 0.15 mg/dL at 3 to 5 days of age. At birth, serum creatinine concentrations were higher in males than in females (0.80 ± 0.13 versus 0.71 ± 0.11 mg/dL, respectively; P < 0.009). However, the increases in serum creatinine concentration observed after birth were similar in both sexes. This is the first report of a prospective longitudinal study of serum creatinine concentrations between birth and 3 to 5 days of age in a Hispanic population. In addition, data were analyzed by sex. The results are a useful reference for normal serum creatinine concentrations in early life.

Ovarian Failure In A Chromosomally Competent Adolescent Female: A Case Report, T. Jann Caison-Sorey

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

Primary ovarian failure in adolescence is uncommon. This report depicts such a case in a 17 1/2-year old girl whose investigation revealed elevations in the follicle-stimulating hormone and luteinizing hormone levels in association with a low estrogen level. The blood leukocyte chromosome analysis with Giemsa banding revealed a 46,XX chromosomal complement. Pelvic ultrasound disclosed a rudimentary uterus and a small left ovary. Hormonal replacement has resulted in advancement of secondary sexual characteristics and monthly withdrawal bleeding.

Validation Of Electronic Rectal Thermometry, Mark G. Goetting, Karen Stratton Dec 1988

Validation Of Electronic Rectal Thermometry, Mark G. Goetting, Karen Stratton

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

Electronic rectal thermometry is performed routinely in most medical centers. While electronic thermometry has been validated at the oral site, rectal measurement has not. We performed a controlled study on 84 children comparing mercury-in-glass and electronic thermometry at the rectal site. No significant difference occurred in temperatures between the two methods. We conclude that the electronic thermometer is a valid instrument to measure rectal temperature.

Pediatric Emergency Care: A Survey Of Michigan Emergency Departments, David J. Treloar, Gregory Preston, Fred Lamb Dec 1988

Pediatric Emergency Care: A Survey Of Michigan Emergency Departments, David J. Treloar, Gregory Preston, Fred Lamb

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

Recent studies suggest a lack of preparation in emergency medical systems for pediatric patients. Michigan emergency departments were surveyed to determine their degree of preparedness regarding equipment, space, and pediatric on-call coverage. More than 50% of responding emergency departments did not have a pediatrician on call and lacked a pediatric "crash cart," and 34% had to send their personnel to other areas in the hospital to obtain pediatric equipment during resuscitations. This survey suggests a lack of preparation for pediatric emergencies in Michigan.

The Pediatrician's Guide To Food Allergy, John A. Anderson Dec 1988

The Pediatrician's Guide To Food Allergy, John A. Anderson

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

Food allergy occurs in as many as 5% of infants less than 1 year old. Most food sensitivities disappear by age 3 to 4. Most immunologically mediated food allergy reactions are due to type I IgE mechanisms, with skin, gastrointestinal, and respiratory signs and symptoms the most common manifestations. U sing the double-blind, placebo-controlled food challenge (DBPCFC) technique and atopic dermatitis as a model, the most common foods to which children are allergic are cow's milk, eggs, peanuts, wheat, fish, and soy proteins. Anaphylactic sensitivity in older children often involves crustacean seafoods (eg, shrimp), nuts, peanuts, fish, and eggs. Such …
