Increased Susceptibility

In a recent report of 100 infants less than 8 months of age with urinary tract infection, it was noted that 95% of the male infants were not circumcised.1 The authors speculated from this observation that the uncircumcised male infant may have an increased susceptibility to urinary tract infection, but commented that the incidence of urinary tract infection in uncircumcised compared with circumcised infants was unknown. We report the results of a study documenting the incidence of unnary tract infection during the first year of life in a large cohort of infants born at our institution over an 18-month period and we also document the incidence of urinary tract infection in circumcised compared with uncircumcised male infants.

Swallowing Apnea

Abstract Research exists that evaluates the mechanics of swallowing respiratory coordination in healthy children and adults as well and individuals with swallowing impairment. The research program summarized in this article represents a systematic examination of swallowing respiratory coordination across the lifespan as a means of behaviorally investigating mechanisms of cortical modulation. Using time-locked recordings of submental surface electromyography, nasal airflow, and thyroid acoustics, three conditions of swallowing were evaluated in 20 adults in a single session and 10 infants in 10 sessions across the first year of life. The three swallowing conditions were selected to represent a continuum of volitional through nonvolitional swallowing control on the basis of a decreasing level of cortical activation. Our primary finding is that, across the lifespan, brainstem control strongly dictates the duration of swallowing apnea and is heavily involved in organizing the integration of swallowing and respiration, even in very early infancy. However, there is evidence that cortical modulation increases across the first 12 months of life to approximate more adult-like patterns of behavior. This modulation influences primarily conditions of volitional swallowing; sleep and naïve swallows appear to not be easily adapted by cortical regulation. Thus, it is attention, not arousal that engages cortical mechanisms.
