Congenital hypothyroidism in Taiwan: experience before mass screening.
Tsai WY, Lee JS.
Department of Pediatrics, National Taiwan University Hospital, Taipei, R.O.C.
The clinical data of 91 patients with congenital hypothyroidism, not detected by neonatal screening, were reviewed. Our results disclosed that congenital hypothyroidism in Taiwan is more common in girls than boys, with a female to male ratio of 1.8:1. The majority of our patients were from a first pregnancy. Only 4.8% of our patients had a history of prolonged gestation, and the median value of birth weight in these patients was 3,300 g. Both of these data are comparable to those of the normal population. Short stature, constipation, dry skin and periorbital edema were the most common symptoms and signs. An ectopic thyroid gland was the most common type of congenital hypothyroidism in our series. The conditions of most of our patients were detected after the age of three months; poor mental prognosis was expected. However, it is hoped that neonatal screening programs for congenital hypothyroidism in Taiwan can improve such situations.

Bromocriptine treatment of acromegaly.
Thorner MO, Chait A, Aitken M, Benker G, Bloom SR, Mortimer CH, Sanders P, Mason AS, Besser GM.
The effects of oral bromocriptine in acromegaly have been studied. A dose of 5 mg six-hourly suppressed circulating growth hormone (GH) levels in nine out of 11 patients treated for seven to 11 weeks. This was associated with considerable clinical improvement in all patients, with abolition of excessive sweating, reduction in soft-tissue thichening, loosening of rings, decrease in shoe size, improvement in facial features, and loosening of dentures. Metabolic changes included improvement in glucose tolerance and reduction in hydroxyproline excretion. Unlike the actions of growth hormone release inhibiting hormone the suppression of GH was not accompanied by a reduction in insulin or glucagon secretion, though prolactin levels were suppressed. Side effects other than mild constipation were not seen when the full dose regimen was reached by slowly increasing the dose from 2-5 mg once daily. Bromocriptine holds promise as a safe and orally effective medical treatment to augment surgical or radiotherapeutic measures directed at the pituitary tumour. Its efficacy during longterm administration remains to be established.

Urinary tract infections in the adult. The Postgraduate Medicine Lecture.
Derrick FC Jr.
Diagnosis of urinary tract infection should be made only on the basis of complete evidence. Examination and culture of the urine are necessary steps in correct diagnosis and treatment. Urinary obstruction is almost always present in recurrent infections. Contributory factors include sex practices conducive to entry of bacteria, poor perineal hygiene, occupations that require long periods of driving or riding, chronic constipation, and use of oral contraceptives, tampons, and douches. Many antibacterial drugs are effective in eliminating infection. Contributing factors should be modified or eliminated to prevent recurrence.
