RESUMO
Most investigators have found that serum aldolase levels normally are higher in children than in adults. Although several earlier studies have included sufficient subjects to establish statistically reliable reference ranges, pediatric reference ranges have not been made available for the now widely used assay method of Pinto and associates (Clin Chem 1969;15:349-360.). The authors present age-related ranges determined by this method.

Information was collected for a large number of coronary risk factors on a series of 568 married, white men, aged 30--70 years, who died from coronary heart disease. Information on the same risk factors was collected on an equal number of living controls matched on age, sex, marital status and neighborhood. For regular aspirin users (i.e. greater than or equal to 4 days per week) compared with non-users, the crude matched pair risk ratio estimate was 1.0 (95% confidence limits 0.9--1.1). Even after controlling for possible confounding effects of other variables using a paired multiple logistic regression analysis, there was no evidence of association. These data provide no evidence for a preventive role of regular aspirin intake in coronary deaths.

Extensive subcutaneous and intermuscular calcium laden fluid collections (milk of calcium) were found in two young girls with severe dermatomyositis. Sonographic examination clearly showed the nature and extent of the collections. Knowledge of this new feature of dermatomyositis should help avoid confusing these fluid collections with soft tissue infection and deep abscess in these often steroid dependent children.
