The frequency and significance of associated diseases and clinical problems in patients with nerve injuries in the recovery stage was statistically assessed. A variety of clinical situations are observed in practically all such patients. Half of the symptoms and diseases encountered relate to the nervous system and cardiocirculatory apparatus, while there is also a high incidence of skeletal muscle and urinary affections. The significance of these signs as far as rehabilitation is concerned can be seen in the fact that psychological and micturition disturbances are observed, along with muscle hypertonia, fibromyositis, cystitis and arthrosis. These form the more common obstacles to the regular execution of a rehabilitation programme, whereas no such significance is possessed by such serious diseases as valvular cardiopathy, hypertension and neoplasia of the neuraxis.

The comparison of nine examples of trisomy for the distal segment of 11q permits definition of a clinical syndrome which includes the following: axial hypotonia with hypertonia of the limbs; an old-looking wrinkled face; a large beaked nose; microretrognathia with malformation of the palate; low-set ears; a prominent anterior helix; a prominent anthelix; a short neck; a narrow chest with nipples set widely apart; micropenis in the boys; congenital heart disease; renal agenesis or malformations of the urinary tract; agenesis of the thoracic girdle; dysplasia of the acetabulum; clubfeet.

The effects of enalapril maleate were studied in a group of 6 patients with arterial hypertension, hypertensive cardiopathy, multiple metabolic disorders and habitual snoring. Earlier treatment with antihypertensive drugs (diuretics, antiadrenergics, calcium antagonists) had been suspended when a marked deterioration was noted in metabolic parameters and plasmatic electrolytes as well as extremely disturbed sleep. The latter is probably attributable to increased respiratory obstruction during the night as a result of the increased hypertonia of the muscles of the upper air ways due to low blood potassium as well as the central and peripheral effects of the antiadrenergic drugs. After the wash-out period there was a marked improvement in laboratory parameters that continued after treatment with enalapril maleate. In particular, apart from a further slight fall in blood cholesterol and uricaemia there was a statistically significant drop in triglyceride levels. The improvement in the laboratory parameters made it possible to reduce the doses of the drugs being taken for the metabolic disorders. A distinct improvement was also noted in the sleep disturbances especially the excessive drowsiness during the day. There was also a statistically significant drop in arterial, systolic, diastolic and mean blood pressure without any significant change in heart beat. The results indicate that enalapril maleate should be the treatment of choice for those patients in whom high blood pressure is accompanied by alterations to the main metabolic parameters and habitual snoring.

We report a case of vagal hypertonia syndrome in a newborn infant, developed after surgical repair of an aortic coarctation combined with banding of the pulmonary artery trunk. The parasympathetic activity had adverse repercussions on haemodynamics. The diagnosis was confirmed by prolonged asystole on the oculocardiac reflex and by concomitant arrhythmia and disorders of conduction demonstrated by Holter recordings. To our knowledge, no other case of vagal hypertonia associated with a congenital cardiopathy has yet been reported. Infants with this syndrome are at a high risk of sudden death. Treatment with vagolytic drugs is of questionable value, and prolonged supervision of the patient is mandatory.

Comparing 105 patients with mesenteric infarction, the typical attributes of the underlying diseases, arterial embolization (aE) (n = 26), arterial thrombosis (aT) (n = 40), venous thrombosis (vT) (n = 32) and combined arterio-venous occlusion (n = 7) could be demonstrated. Present heart disease, diabetes and arterial hypertonia, rapid onset of symptoms, severe abdominal pain and signs of peritonitis, extended gangrene of bowel and a high mortality of about 90% is the typical combination for aE. Over 70 years old patients with higher incidence of arteriosclerosis, more digitalis intake, longer duration of symptoms and with bowel problems in the past have a higher incidence of aT and a slightly better prognosis. Risk of thrombosis, long-standing symptoms and a clearly better prognosis are typical for the vT.

A 22 months old male child, a second monozygotic twin with distal partial monosomy of the short arm of chromosome 3 in mosaicism and anomalies in dermatoglyphics is described. Patient presents retardation of intrauterine and postnatal growth, psychomotor retardation, microcephalia, mongoloid deviation of palpebral clefts, macroglossia with constant sucking, congenital cardiopathy cryptorchism, hypospadias and generalized hypertonia. Twin is a normal infant with normal karyotype. Genotypic similarity and clinical picture is discussed.
