We present two children with ILVEN and arthritis, a previously undescribed association. We discuss the relevance of this association and suggest appropriate management for this arthritis. Amor DJ, Delatycki MB, Gardner RJMcK, Storey E. Patients and Methods. All patients who were evaluated because of parkinsonism in the Department of Neurology in our hospital between January 1, 1997, and December 31, 1999, and were found to have both parkinsonism and neck extension weakness resulting in head drop were studied. The patients underwent clinical examination, blood tests including the levels of creatine kinase and myoglobin and neurophysiological evaluation with needle electromyography and autonomic tests. Open biopsy on a neck muscle was performed in the patients who could cooperate.

Extractions: Nigerian Quarterly Journal of Hospital Medicine Issues Available About the Journal Abstracts (Volume 9 Number 1) ABSTRACTS ABSTRACT Forty two (42)blood samples were collected from children showing clinical symptoms of malaria Trophozoites and/or gametocytes of P. falciparum were identified by microscopic examination of giemsa stained films in 22 samples (52.4%). Haemaglobin (Hb), Glutamate Pyruvate Transaminase (GPT), Bilirubin, Glucose and Ketone concentrations of these parasitaemia samples were compared with those of a non equivalent control group (n-31) of healthy children who were matched for age and sex, as far as possible with malarious group. There was a significant difference in the mean Hb concentration between the patients and controls with values of 6.14mg/dl and 10.15mg/dl respectively. The PCV levels also showed a similar pattern (25.95% to 35.95%). Higher bilirubin (22.15 to 0.98mg/dl) and GPT (61.32 to 22.831U/Ml) levels in the patients indicates some degree of haemolysis of red cells and necrosis of liver cells. The plasma glucose levels were lower in the patient compared with the controls (2.60 to 4.96mmol/l). Ketones were detected in 13(59%) of the 22 samples which tested positive for malaria parasites and none in the control group. These variations in Haematological and Biochemical parameters should enhance our knowledge in the pathogenesis of malaria in Sierra Leonean children.

Extractions: Important notice Ency. home Disease W Wilm's tumor See images Overview Symptoms Treatment Alternative names: Nephroblastoma; Kidney tumor Definition: Wilm's tumor is a cancerous tumor of the kidney that occurs in children. Causes and Risks Wilm's tumor is one of the most common intraabdominal tumors in children and the most common type of kidney tumor. The exact cause of tumor formation is unknown, but it probably develops in fetal tissue. It is associated with certain congenital defects including urinary tract abnormalities, absence of the iris (aniridia) and hemihypertrophy (enlargement of one side of the body), and shows an increased incidence among siblings and twins, which suggests a possible genetic cause. The tumor may become quite large, but usually remains encapsulated (self-enclosed). It may spread to other body tissues.

Extractions: ABSTRACTS The study of Proteinurea in Idiopathic and Congenital Nephrotic Syndrome The nephrotic syndrome (NS) is the most common childhood glomerulopathy characterized by heavy proteinuria, hypoproteinureia, hyperlipidemia, oliguria and edema. The authors studied the quantitative and qualitative aspects and selectivity of proteinureia in childhood nephrotic syndrome (NS). The histopathological structure was also studied and it determined the diagnosis, treatment and prognosis of childhood NS. In conclusion the authors demonstrated that: NS is more frequent at 1-3 years old males; congenital NS appears at 1-3 months infants; their pathological medical history is associated with acute infection of upper respiratory tract and in rear cases with allergic symptoms (such as obstructive bronchitis, atopic dermatitis); in most of the cases proteinureia was heavy and glomerular; only one of the congenital NS as characterized by glomerulo-tubular proteinuria; idiopathic NS was characterized by a selectivity of high proteinureia; the appearance of the dimer-albumin factions was observed in idiopathic and cortico-sensitive NS;

Extractions: General Reviews Several reviews were published on neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1), neurofibromatosis type 2 (NF2), and related disorders (1-34). Neurofibromatosis Type 1 Clinical Features Ablon (49) reports on the parents' responses to their child's diagnosis of NF1 for 18 families in Northern California. Physicians' attention to the setting and style of disclosure, imparting appropriate and positive information, allowance of additional time for careful explanation, and rescheduling a follow-up appointment, may be able to more effectively assist parents in receiving and more positively adapting to their child's diagnosis. Origone et al. (50) discuss the genoa experience of prenatal diagnosis for NF1. Because of the extreme variability in phenotypic expression for NF1, reproductive decisions are very difficult for couples faced with the molecular diagnosis but with no information on the possible clinical expression of the disease. Several authors report the occurrence of growth hormone hypersecretion and precocious puberty in children with optic pathway gliomas. Drake et al.(55) report on growth hormone hypersecretion which resolved after chemotherapy treatment for the optic nerve glioma, but resulted in precocious puberty. Drimmie et al. (56) report gigantism in a boy with NF1 secondary to an optic glioma. Virdis et al.(57) review the incidence of precocious puberty in 412 NF1 patients. Of these, 31 had optic pathway glioma, and 10 had precocious puberty. One child with NF1 was shown to develop precocious puberty as a result of a hypothalamic hamartoma (58).

Lee et al. (1997, UI:98016415 ) concluded that the oncogenic fusion of EWS to WT1 in DSRCT results in the induction of PDGFA ( CG:403 ) , a potent fibroblast growth factor that contributes to the characteristic reactive fibrosis associated with this unique tumour. Identification of WTAP( CG:1423 ), a novel Wilms' tumour 1-associating protein by Little et al. (2000, UI:20458888 Comments Johnstone et al. (1996, UI:97098673 ) showed that WT1 and par-4 (prostate apoptosis response protein 4; CG:1034 ) interact specifically both in vitro and in vivo and that this interaction is mediated by the zinc fingers of WT1 and the leucine repeats of par-4. Functional analyses showed that par-4 inhibited transcription activated by WT1 and augmented WT1-mediated transcriptional repression. WT1 encodes a zinc finger transcription factor implicated in kidney differentiation and tumorigenesis. In reporter assays, WT1 represses transcription from GC- and TC-rich promoters, but its physiological targets remain uncertain. Lee et al. (1999
