In reference to the article by Sane et al. entitled "Value of Preoperative Chest X-ray Examinations in Children" (Pediatrics 60:669, November 1977), we would like to know if the authors broke down the abnormalities by age group—for instance, five-year segments. If so, did a preponderance of abnormalities of any variety occur at any particular age? We believe that should be stated, as it would strengthen their thesis if there was no difference between 0 and 19 years of age.

Forty children (age group four to 12 years) undergoing adenoidectomy and/or tonsillectomy were subjected to pre- and post-operative polysomnography. Thorough clinical evaluation and X-ray soft tissue nasopharynx lateral view was carried out for all the patients. The tonsils were clinically graded from grade I to IV, whereas the adenoids were measured radiographically (using three different measurements) in all children. Thirty out of 40 (75 per cent) children presented with predominant obstructive symptoms, out of whom 22 (73.3 per cent) were found to have obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA), i.e. apnoea index > five per hour. The remaining 10 (25 per cent) had predominantly inflammatory symptoms on presentation and out of these two (20 per cent) were found to have OSA. Relative adenoid size expressed as a ratio between the distance from the point of maximum thickness of adenoids along a line drawn along a straight part of the basiocciput and distance from the posterior nasal spine to the antero-inferior edge of the spheno-basioccipital synchondrosis, was found to have a highly significant correlation with the grade of OSA. In our study, all patients with this ratio greater than 0.64 were found to have OSA. No correlation between tonsil size and grade of OSA was found. There was a highly significant improvement in polysomnographic scores following surgery in all patients.

Aim. We defined the prevalence of back pain in children and adolescents aged 917 years with spinal deformities. Material and methods. The cross-sectional study included 230 students with different spinal deformities aged 917 years. The prevalence of back pain, intensity, location, and situations in which it occurred were assessed via questionnaire. Results. Among 230 respondents, 186 (80.9%) admitted that they had experienced back pain (mainly in the lumbar spine) at various frequencies within the year preceding the study. Mild pain was prevalent (71% of respondents). Girls experienced back pain significantly more frequently than boys. Conclusions. Back pain in children and adolescents requires clinical and instrumental examination, including X-ray. Back pain is a frequent phenomenon in children with different spinal deformities. Тhe incidence of pain in children and adolescents with spinal deformities in our study is statistically higher than that of healthy individuals of the same age group.

Common Complaint

Vulvovaginitis is a common complaint in the prepubertal child. The proximity of the vagina to the anus and the thin uncornified vaginal epithelium make the young child especially susceptible to vulvovaginal infection. Not only is hygiene often suboptimal in this age group, but pinworm infestations, bubblebaths, harsh soaps, and tight-fitting nylon tights can all contribute to the vulvar irritation. Because children are frequently sent to gynecologists, traumatized by a rectal examination as the first part of the evaluation, or sent for an x-ray of the vagina with the hope of excluding a radiopaque foreign body, we believed it would be useful to present our approach to the gynecologic evaluation of the prepubertal child in which the kneechest position is used for visualizing the vagina. METHODS The evaluation of a prepubertal child with vulvovaginitis in the Gynecology Clinic of Children's Hospital is done in the following order: (1) history; (2) inspection of the perineum with the child supine; (3) visualization of the vagina and cervix in kneechest position; (4) cultures; and (5) a rectal examination in girls with vaginal bleeding or abdominal pain. The knee-chest position (Figure) provides a particularly good view of the vagina and cervix without instrumentation. The little girl is asked "to lie on her tummy with her bottom in the air." She is reassured that the examiner plans "to take a look" but "will not put anything inside her." The child rests her head to one side on folded arms and supports her remaining weight on bended knees (6 to 8 in apart).

Trace Elemental

Structural composition of 11 trace elements with Z greater than 13 ( Al , P , Si , K , Ca , Mn , Fe , Cu , Zn , Mo , I ) was analyzed for the two main groups of human gallstones according to their cholesterol and pigment types by PIXE (Proton Induced X - ray Emission). In both types of stones, the shell and the center were analyzed separately. The gallstones were obtained from 12 patients in wide age group from 22 to 78 years of age during surgical operation. The results show relatively higher values of heavy elements for ages greater than 40. The values of phosphorous in cholesterol type stones are significantly higher than in those of pigment stones. The concentration of calcium in the center of stones is large in comparison with that in the shells. In this paper, a correlation between stone structure and trace elemental concentration has been presented. Comparison of the two essential types of stones (cholesterol and pigment) shows that the center of the pigment stones is very similar to that of the cholesterol type.
