ALTHOUGH the association between hydramnios and congenital anomalies of the alimentary tract of the fetus has been recognized for more than 75 years, little emphasis has been placed upon this prenatal maternal abnormality as an aid to the earlier diagnosis of obstructive disease in the newborn. With the exception of isolated case reports which were summarized by Taussig in 1927 and the more recent observations of Mengert and Bourland, Castanier et al., and Clatworthy and Lloyd, the diagnostic significance of this relationship has not received proper recognition. Fortunately, today, the majority of anatomic abnormalities of the alimentary tract which are encountered in the neonate can be surgically corrected, if the diagnosis can be established and the treatment instituted before the infant has deteriorated irreversibly. A more general appreciation of the importance of hydramnios as a diagnostic sign of obstructive disease by physicians responsible for the care of the infant during the perinatal period should improve infant salvage. Recent surveys of our experience at the Columbus Children's Hospital with neonates having obstructing lesions of the esophagus or intestine attracted our attention to the fact that many of these infants were delivered of mothers who suffered from acute or chronic hydramnios. In an effort to determine the significance of the interrelationship between hydramnios in the mother and congenital obstruction of the alimentary tract in the fetus, a study was undertaken which included not only a survey of all infants admitted to the Children's Hospital with alimentary tract obstruction but also an analysis of a series of obstetric cases at the University Hospital in women with pregnancy complicated by hydramnios.

The author of this excellent monograph has been for many years connected with the University Children's Hospital in Zürich, as a coworker of Fanconi who wrote the preface of this book. The University hospitals in Zürich are a traditional center of clinical hematologic research. Feer, Fanconi and Naegeli made important contributions dealing with the constitutional etiology of blood dyscrasias. The stationary population of Zürich facilitates study of hereditary traits such as spherocytosis, the international influx, e.g., experiences in Mediterranean anemia and the location as university and city center abundant material of mushroom poisoning and erythroblastosis.

OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to summarize adverse drug event (ADE) reporting and to characterize the type of healthcare practitioners involved in reporting over a 10-year period at a 120-bed university-affiliated children's hospital. METHODS The University of Virginia Children's Hospital ADE database was analyzed for records involving pediatric patients. Data from patients <18 years of age who were admitted to the University of Virginia Children's Hospital between January 1, 2000, and December 31, 2009, were analyzed. Data collected included drug name and therapeutic class of the suspected causative agent, description of the event, severity, causality, outcome, and the type of healthcare practitioner reporting the event. RESULTS A total of 863 ADEs were reported over the 10-year period. The 5 most common types reported were extravasation injury (10%), rash (8%), hypotension (5%), pruritus (5%), and renal failure (3%). A total of 196 (21%) cases were categorized as mild, 436 (47%) cases as moderate, and 296 (32%) cases as severe. Further characterization of extravasations was performed to identify trends relating to potential causes. In 45 (57%) reports, parenteral nutrition was identified as the causative agent. Full recovery was documented in 21 (47%) extravasations. Of the total events reported, 83% were reported by pharmacists, 16% by nurses, and <1% by other healthcare practitioners. CONCLUSIONS Results of this study are consistent with those of previous studies involving ADE reporting in children's hospitals. This consistency is due in part to system design and use of unit-based pharmacists as the primary reporters.

Treatment Prognosis

This brief outline summarizes the experiences of the University Children's Hospital in Frankfort, one of the best pediatric teaching centers of Germany in the after-war period. Frankfort has a diabetes tradition, since v. Noorden, whose textbook and dietetic systems were leading in Europe in the pre-insulin era, worked there. This outline contains diagnosis, treatment, prognosis and laboratory technics. Since it is written for the practitioner, emphasis is laid upon office rather than hospital problems, such as various initial signs of hypoglycemia, the indications of regular-and protamine zinc insuline and psychologic treatment.
