RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: To explore the relationship between lithium dose and serum lithium level on the occurrence of untoward or toxic effects of lithium in the treatment of 20 hospitalized aggressive and/or mood-disordered children aged 4 through 6 years. METHOD: Clinical and research records of 20 children treated with lithium according to an established inpatient protocol were reviewed. Side effects as reported by psychiatric staff were categorized by organ system affected and severity. RESULTS: During the initial 2 weeks of lithium treatment, 60% of the children manifested one or more types of side effects, most commonly central nervous system effects. Side effects were seen at doses of 25.6 to 52.1 mg/kg per day and at serum levels from 0.65 to 1.37 mEq/L. In general, adverse effects were associated with higher lithium doses and lithium levels and were most common during the first week of treatment. A potential interaction between concurrent infection and more severe side effects was seen. CONCLUSIONS: Side effects occur frequently in children aged 6 years and younger during the initiation phase of lithium treatment; are related to higher milligram per kilogram doses, higher serum lithium levels, and phase of treatment; and may be related to concurrent medical illness.

RESUMO

In a Latin-square double-crossover with random assignment to sequence, 18 boys, aged 6-12 years, with attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder received 1 month each of placebo, D-amphetamine, and Efamol (evening primrose oil containing gamma-linolenic acid, with vitamin E as preservative). Parents' ratings were noncontributory. Teachers' ratings showed a trend of Efamol effect between placebo and D-amphetamine. The trend reached significance (p less than 0.05) only on Conners Hyperactivity Factor. Dosage may be crucial; 8 Efamol capsules per day were used in this study. Heuristic data scrutiny suggested possible interaction (sequence effect). Further study with a different design and dose is suggested. This study does not establish Efamol as an effective treatment.

RESUMO

An uncertain amniotic fluid karyotype analysis may result in months of intense anxiety for the parents. An illustrative case demonstrates that thorough and accurate diagnostic steps, active involvement of the family physician, coordination of counseling efforts by all involved health-care professionals and attention to the social and financial concerns of the parents are helpful in this situation.

RESUMO

Lungs excised from rats infected with Mycoplasma pulmonis are more difficult to inflate with air than those from uninfected animals; they show no significant differences from controls inflated with saline. The altered pulmonary function in lungs from infected rats is attributed to an increase in surface forces, implying disruption of the lung surfactant system.
