Long‐term effects of rapid weight gain in children,adolescents and young adults with appropriate birth weight for gestational age: the kiel obesity prevention study

Aim: This study investigates the effect of rapid weight gain in term children, adolescents and young adults born appropriate for gestational age. Methods: In all, 173 girls and 178 boys aged 6.1–19.9 (12.5 ± 3.1)years participated. Rapid weight gain (group 1) was defined as a change in weight‐SDS (standard deviation score) from birth till two years >0.67, ‘no change’ as ≥?0.67 and ≤0.67 (group 2) vs ‘slow weight gain’ as 90th age‐/sex‐specific BMI‐percentile was defined as overweight. Parental BMI, socio‐economic status and lifestyle were assessed as confounders. Results: A total of 22.8% gained weight rapidly, and 15.7% was overweight. Group 1 compared with group 2 and 3 subjects was taller, heavier and had a higher prevalence of overweight (girls/boys: 26.2%/28.9% vs 11.6%/19.0% vs 2.8%/5.0%; p < 0.01/p < 0.05). Concomitantly, a higher WC, %FM and FFM were observed. Rapid weight gain was positively associated with REE (adjusted for FFM) in boys (r = 0.26; p < 0.01), but not with cardio‐metabolic risk factors. Conclusion: Rapid weight gain was related to increases in height, weight, a higher prevalence of overweight and central fat distribution. In addition, rapid weight gain was related to a higher REE in boys, but not to cardio‐metabolic risk factors.     

Manubriosternal subluxation/dislocation can lead to manubriosternal septic arthritis in patients with kyphoscoliosis

Locally deranged joint anatomy can predispose to septic arthritis which can be managed by surgical debridement. We present a case of manubriosternal subluxation/dislocation caused by kyphoscoliosis leading to manubriosternal septic arthritis.     

The Consumer Quality Index Hip Knee Questionnaire measuring patients' experiences with quality of care after a total hip or knee arthroplasty

Background  

The Dutch Consumer Quality Index Hip Knee Questionnaire (CQI Hip Knee) was used to assess patients' experiences with and evaluations of quality of care after a total hip (THA) or total knee arthroplasty (TKA). The aim of this study is to evaluate the construct validity and internal consistency reliability of this new instrument and to assess its ability to measure differences in quality of care between hospitals.     

Meningitis and midline facial deformity

A baby with unilateral cleft lip, midline cleft palate and hypertelorism developed meningitis in the first 48 h of life. Examination of the nasopharynx showed a soft tissue mass, which was confirmed as a basal encephalocele by computed tomography. There was also congenital hydrocephalus and the corpus callosum was absent. Surgical treatment included repair of the anterior basal skull defect, repair of the lip and palate, and ventriculo-peritoneal shunt. There is currently evidence of developmental delay and right-sided visual impairment due to Morning Glory syndrome. This case demonstrates that basal encephalocele should be considered in any baby with midline facial deformity who develops meningitis.     

Hyperbilirubinemia, hypocarbia and periventricular leukomalacia in preterm infants: relationship to cerebral palsy

This study comprised 103 preterm infants with a gestational age less than 33 weeks who were born in Tampere University Hospital and who were followed up to two years of age. Sixty-four perinatal variables were compared to ultrasound findings in the neonatal period and neurologic handicap at the age of two years. Duration of hypocarbia (PCO2 < or = 30 mmHg) during the first 72 h and hyperbilirubinemia (the mean level of serum total bilirubin) at three days of age were independently and significantly related to periventricular leukomalacia, but not directly to cerebral palsy. The only perinatal variables related independently and significantly to cerebral palsy at two years of age were periventricular leukomalacia and ventriculomegaly. According to these results, periventricular leukomalacia was the main predictor of cerebral palsy in preterm infants. In addition to hypocarbia, hyperbilirubinemia may also be involved in the pathogenesis of extensive (severe cystic) periventricular leukomalacia.     

Otoacoustic emissions as a screening test for hearing impairment in children

Transient evoked otoacoustic emissions (TEOAEs) are low amplitude sound waves produced by the healthy cochlea. They can be recorded with a microphone in the external ear. TEOAEs are abolished by hearing losses of 30 dB or more. The feasibility of using TEOAEs as a screening test for hearing loss in children was studied. TEOAE recordings were attempted in 56 children attending an audiology clinic. Recordings were possible from both ears in 52 children; of these 104 ears, 32 had hearing deficits of 30 dB or more. Hearing status was compared with the results of six TEOAE screening criteria. All criteria had a sensitivity of 1.00. Four standard TEOAE criteria yielded specificities of 0.46-0.58. Two new criteria derived from analysis of limited frequencies from the TEOAE waveform gave specificities of 0.76 and 0.82. It can be concluded that, when appropriate pass/fail criteria are employed, TEOAEs are a feasible screening test in children.     

The Fremantle Lead Study

Objective: To ascertain blood lead levels in a sample of preschool children from Fremantle, Western Australia, and to correlate these with possible risk factors.
Methodology The study was a cross-sectional prevalence survey of 120 children from day-care centres and 44 hospital inpatients. Blood lead and ferritin levels were determined and a risk factor questionnaire was completed by parents.
Results Of the 164 children 25.6% had lead levels above the NH&MRC goal (<10μg/dL). Nine of 133 (6.7%) had ferritin levels below 10 μg/L suggesting iron deficiency. Excessive blood lead concentrations as defined by the NH&MRC (>9μg/dL) related to: child's presence during house renovation (OR 3.35, P = 0.007, 95% Cl 1.39-8.81); Aboriginality (OR 6.4, P = 0.008, 95% Cl 1.6-24.9), and, in the 9-24 month age group, inversely to distance between home and a road carrying >7000 vehicles/day (r-0.56, P = 0.009, n = 24).
Conclusions A group of Fremantle children with unacceptably high blood lead levels has been identified. Renovation of older housing and Aboriginality are important risk factors.
