A total of 143 children born to mothers who suffered from various forms of endocrine sterility and in whom pregnancy was induced were examined. The levels of somatotropic hormone, prolactin, luteotropic hormone, and follicle-stimulating hormone were measured in the blood on days 1, 3, 6 of life and at the age of 3, 6, and 12 months. The hormones were radioimmunoassayed and measured by imnmnofluorescent methods. The results indicate marked disorders of the adenohypophyseal function in these children, these disorders persisting through the first year of life. The most evident shifts of hormonal parameters are observed in children born to mothers with primary disorders of ovarian hormonal function, particularly so in cases with the polycystic ovaries syndrome, and in children with perinatal involvement of the central nervous system. A high correlation between adenohypophyseal and peripheral gland hormone levels and the concentration of somatotropic hormone was detected.

Fifteen infants with congenital cricopharyngeal achalasia are reviewed. Although most of the patients had symptoms at birth, the diagnosis was frequently not confirmed until later in the first year of life. While four of the infants had only cricopharyngeal achalasia, 11 had associated diseases related to the central nervous system. Those patients without associated diseases improved spontaneously with conservative management; most of the infants with other abnormalities also improved, although their clinical progress was slower and more complicated. In three of the patients, the symptoms were persistent and there were two deaths related to associated diseases. Cricopharyngeal myotomy was performed on two children with only moderate improvement in symptoms. Congenital cricopharyngeal achalasia is more common than formerly recognized. When suspected, an esophagram with tele- or cineradiography is essential to confirm the diagnosis. Esophageal motility studies will quantify changes and also evaluate lower esophageal dysfunction not easily identified on esophagrams.

SUMMARYThe statistical data on the malformation occurred in Italy from 1956 to 1958 have been examined. It has been seen that their number is almost constant (i. e. some 1,500 per year). The ratio of alive malformed to dead malformed is of 3:1, but the number of deaths by congenital malformations increases considerably during the first year of life, mostly due to inner organ malformations, non detectable at birth.50% of the cases of harelip die during the first year of life. The most serious malformations are those concerning the central nervous system, while the most common ones, are those affecting the locomotive apparatus.The number of malformations has not been influenced by the very insufficient diet during the four years of war, neither by the 1957 « asiatic influenza ». The malformation index, furthermore, appears almost constant in the time and in the various regions, showing the highest figure in Lucania and Friuli (3.05) and the lowest ones in Campania (0,89), Sicily and Liguria (1.21).

Aim. To study the features of recovery period of hypoxic lesion to the central nervous system (CNS) in children of the first year of life in the presence of congenital heart disease (CHD).Material and Methods. The study involved 80 children born full-term and premature with gestational status of 35–37 weeks with hypoxic damage to the CNS. The main observation group comprised 50 children with CHD (interventricular and atrial septal defects, open ductus arteriosus). All children underwent a comprehensive health assessment, standard echocardiography, and neurosonography at ages of five to seven days and one, three, and six months. Biochemical analysis included assessment of serum neurospecific enolase (NSE), succinate dehydrogenase (SDG), and α-glycerophosphate dehydrogenase (α-GPDH). The control group included 20 full-term newborns without CHD and CNS lesions.Results. The main manifestations in newborns with CHD and hypoxic damage to the CNS were the suppression syndrome, agitation, and hypertension-hydrocephalic syndrome. At the age of six months, a delay in motor development indicators persisted in 35% of children in the main group. The high NSE level in newborns with concomitant septal heart defects was associated with a decrease in the quantitative indicators of neuropsychic development (g = –0.6, p < 0.05). The children with CHD and hypoxic damage to the CNS in the first year of life were significantly more often (p < 0.05) deficient in weight and height. A decrease in the resistance level in the first year of life was observed in 40% of children from the main group, which significantly differed compared with group of children without CHD (p < 0.001). The newborns with hypoxic CNS and CHD lesions had a decrease in the activity of α-GPDH and SDG at the age of five to seven days; the low activity of SDG persisted at the ages of one and six months; the enzyme activity in children of the comparison group was normal (p < 0.05).Conclusion. Children with CHD had the features of clinical course of perinatal damage to the CNS in the acute and recovery periods, a slowdown in the rate of physical and neuropsychic development, a decrease in the resistance level, and impaired functional state of the body. The decreases in the activities of SDG and α-GPDH in children with hypoxic lesions to the CNS in the presence of CHD implied the disturbances in cellular bioenergetics and resulted in inadequate response to external factors.

Cerebral palsy, one of the diseases of the central nervous system, is a serious disease that is caused by various brain injuries during the first year of life: before, inside and after childbirth. Patients with cerebral palsy lag behind in physical and mental development, and due to their inability to help themselves, this causes not only medical, but also social problems. Proper dental care for sick children with cerebral palsy is one of the measures to prevent diseases of the oral mucosa and its complications

Mills Syndrome

Mills' syndrome is a rare neurological disorder. Its nosological nature is currently not completely determined. Nevertheless, Mills' syndrome is considered to be a rare variant of the degenerative pathology of the central nervous system – a variant of focal cortical atrophy. The true prevalence of this pathology is unknown, since this condition is more often of a syndrome type, observed in the clinical picture of a number of neurological diseases (primary lateral sclerosis, frontotemporal dementia, etc.) and is less common in isolated form.
