[The use of a myocardial screw electrode for continuous stimulation of the heart with a pacemaker (author's transl)]. / Het gebruik van de myocardschroefelectrode voor permanente pacemakerstimulatie van het hart. Medtronic schroefelectrode model 6917 en model 6917-A.

In 50 patients with serious heart conduction disorders the authors describe the use of a new epicardial screw electrode (Medtronic models 6917 and 6917-A), inserted through a substernal route. The operative technique, the electrode and the authors' experience are described in detail. By comparison with others, the present technique offers many advantages.

[Acute infantile osteomyelitis]. / Acute zuigelingen-osteomyelitis.

In infants acute haematogenous osteomyelitis presents with few and subtle clinical signs. Only early diagnosis and proper treatment of this orthopedic emergency are able to prevent late deformities. Delay in diagnosis, persistence in apparently not effective conservative therapy and inadequate surgery lead to ugly and severe deformities, of which the corrective treatment is a heavy burden for the child and its parents.
