Abstract

A case of Gilles de Ia Tourette's Syndrome is presented. This is the second reported case in Indonesia. The diagnosis was based on four essential features : childhood onset, multiple motor tics, vocal tics and changing pattern of the symptoms. The exact etiology of this syndrome is still unknown. It is proposed that patients with this illness could have hyperactivity of the dopaminergic systems in their basal ganglia. Symptomatic improvement has been achieved with haloperidol. The response to this drug could not be evaluated in this patient because of refusal to continue the treatment.

Abstract

We performed a prospective study on the association between acid-base balance and asphyxta based on Apgar scores in 45 newborn babies admitted to the Division of Perinatology, Pirngadi Hospital, Medan, from January 1 to February 28, 1993. Blood gas analysis was done on blood obtained from umbilical artery. Based on 1st and 5th minutes Apgar scores, 40 (88.9%) and 21 babies (46.7%}, respectively, had asphyxia. Relation to acid-base balance was determined with the sensitivity of the 5th minute Apgar score in predicting acidotic states. It was found that Apgar score had sensitivity of 57.7% and specificity of 68.4% in predicting the acidotic states. Apgar score of > 7 was unable to. exclude the possible acidosis in 45% of cases (negative predictive value 54.1%). Gestational age had no influence on Apgar Scores. Apgar score was more sensitive to eliminate suspected acidosis in term neonates than in preterms. We recommend to perform umbilical arterial blood gas analysis to determine acidotic state in high risk newborn infants.

Abstract

A retrospective study on neonatal tetanus, among patients hospitalized at the pediatric ward of Dr. Pirngadi Hospital Medan, bad been conducted from january 1987 through December 1991. There were 75 cases out of 13,581 patients hospitalized (0.55%) in that period, consisting of 44 boys (58.66%) and31 girls (47 3 %) with an overall case fatality rate of 33.33%. Of 18 patients with an incubation period of 5 days or less, 12 (66.66%) died, while of 4 patients with an incubation period of more than 10 days, there were not any death at all. Diazepam had been given in a dosage of 10-40 mg/kg body weight/day . Diazepam of 10-19 mg/kg body weight/day was given to 4 cases, and the case fatality rate was 25% . Of 42 cases treated with diazepam of 30-40 mg/kg body weight/day, the case fatality rate was 42.85% The duration of hospitalization varied between ten hours to 34 days. All deaths (25 cases) occurred within the first seven days of hospitaltization. The most common accompanying disease was bronchopneumonia (6 cases). Endotracheal intubation were performed on 11 cases, while the mechanical ventilator in 1 case with a case fataliy rate of 27,27% and 0% respectively.
