The effect of ipecac syrup as an emetic in adults as well as children who had ingested antiemetics or other drugs was evaluated. Adults or children over five years of age were given 30 ml of ipecac syrup followed by 360 ml of water; children aged one to five years were given 15 ml ipecac syrup followed by 240 ml of water. If emesis was not induced within 30 minutes, a second dose was administered. Of 232 patients studied (199 adults and 33 children), 188 (81%) vomited following the first dose, 34 (15%) required two doses and seven (3%) did not vomit. Of 63 patients who had ingested drugs with antiemetic properties, 51 (81%) vomited following the first dose, nine (14%) required a second dose and three (5%) did not vomit. The time from ipecac administration to the onset of emesis in all 232 patients averaged 24.2 minutes. Ipecac was successful in inducing rapid emesis in both adults and children who had ingested antiemetics or other drugs, probably as a result of its irritating effect on the gastric mucosa.

The time of onset of ipecac-induced emesis is not significantly influenced by the temperature of concurrently administered fluid. The average time of emesis with syrup of ipecac administered with cold (10 degrees C) versus warm (40 degrees C) water was found to be 30:59 and 30:18 min, respectively. The difference in induction time is not statistically or clinically significant.

Respiratory distress, apnea, and chronic pulmonary disease since birth were identified in 14 infants who also had symptomatic gastroesophageal reflux. Birth weights varied from 760 to 4,540 gm. All infants had radiographic changes similar to those in bronchopulmonary dysplasia. Cessation of apnea and improvement of pulmonary disease occurred only after medical (8) or surgical (6) control of gastroesophageal reflux. Simultaneous tracings of esophageal pH, heart rate, impedance pneumography, and nasal air flow in five infants demonstrated that reflux preceded apnea. Apnea could be induced by instillation of dilute acid, but not water or formula, into the esophagus. Prolonged monitoring of esophageal pH more than two hours after feeding in 14 other infants less than 6 weeks of age (birth weight 780 to 3,350 gm) without a history of recent vomiting indicated that reflux was not greater than in normal older children.

In December, 1976, an outbreak of gastroenteritis occurred at a resort camp in Colorado. Data obtained by questionnaire from 760 persons indicated that 418 (55%) had had gastroenteritis at the camp or within a week of leaving it, with peak onset within a two-day period. Symptoms included vomiting (81%), diarrhoea (65%), and fever (49%); median duration of illness was twenty-four hours. The attack-rate increased with consumption of water or ice-containing beverages. The camp water supply was found to be inadequately chlorinated and contaminated by a leaking septic tank. Although routine laboratory tests did not reveal bacterial, viral, or parasitic pathogens, immune electron microscopy detected virus-like particles in two of five diarrhoeal stool filtrates. Oral administration of one of these bacteria-free filtrates to two volunteers induced a gastrointestinal illness similar to that observed in the camp visitors.

Conditioned aversions to colored, flavored water were established in Squirrel monkeys (Saimiri sciureus) by following consumption with 90 min of simultaneous rotational and vertical stimulation. The experimental group (N = 13) drank significantly less of the green, almond-flavored test solution than did the control group (N = 14) during three post-treatment preference testing days. Individual differences were noted in that two experimental monkeys readily drank the test solution after rotational stimulation. Only two of the experimental monkeys showed emesis during rotation, yet 10 monkeys in this group developed an aversion. These results that (1) motion sickness can be readily induced in Squirrel monkeys with simultaneous rotational and vertical stimulation and (2) that conditioned food aversions are achieved in the absence of emesis in this species.

In August-October 1973 several NAG vibrio strains were isolated for the first time in our country from clinical cases of acute intestinal disturbances. The patients were admitted to hospital being clinically suspect of dysenteric syndrome or alimentary toxiinfection (nausea, vomiting, abdominal colics, tenesms, mucosanguinolent stools, aqeous stools from 4-5 up to 20 in 24 hours, with signs of dehydration). NAG vibrios were isolated from all the cultures in, practically, pure cultures. Epidemiologic survey in the village of B resulted in isolation of the same NAG vibrio strains from the samples collected from the direct contacts and drinking water sources. Therefore, NAG vibrios can unquestionably cause a diarrheic disease and it will be necessary to extend the bacteriologic diangosis also in this direction in all cases of diarrhea of "unknown etiology".

Since in the past, Aeromonas hydrophila had been isolated from all cases of human infection described. A. punctata and the anaerogenic sub-species were considered as apathogenic. From the case described, a close association between acute diarrhea with vomiting and the identification of A. punctata subsp. caviae becomes evident so that a conditional pathogenicity of this sub-species must be assumed. The question is discussed whether a preceding disturbance of the intestinal habitat in the presence of a particular susceptibility of the gastrointestinal tract promoted gastro-enteritis. Infection may have been brought about by the ingestion of surface water contaminated by sewage. Attention is again drawn to the fact that in the case of enteritis occuring during the open-air bathing season, faeces samples should also be examined for their Aeromonas content which may be performed by a simple indophenol or so-called cytochrome oxidase reaction of the aerobic flora in feces by rubbing off colonies into a corresponding test strip.

Thirthy-three alcoholics, aged between 31 and 82 years, were treated for 7 to 30 days with tiapride. The dosage was 600 mg/day (200 mg 3 times daily) by mouth or 100 to 800 mg/day I.M. Out of 27 cases of tremor treated, there were 25 favourable results, one average result and one nil result. Insomnia and character disorders, e.g. anguish, depression, nightmares, hallucinations, were improved during the first few days of treatment in 27 cases out of 30. Out of 12 cases of algo-paresthesia of the lower limb treated, the were 9 good or excellent results, 2 average results and 1 nil result. A favourable result was observed in 7 cases out of nine in vomiting, water brash (3 cases out of 4), and in 16 cases out of 20 in anorexia. No clinical or laboratory disturbance attributable to tiapride was noted in our patients whose general health was often very poor.

The outcome of administering ORT (oral rehydration therapy) to 62 infants admitted to a Costa Rican hospital with acute rotavirus or bacterial diarrheas and with 5-10% dehydration was described. 94% of the infants were successfully treated by administering only ORT. There were no significant differences in the success rates for rotavirus diarrhea patients and for various bacterial diarrhea patients. Success rates were 92% for rotavirus patients, 93% for Escherichia coli patients, 96% for idiopathic diarrhea patients, and 100% for salmonella and shigella patients. Upon admission, the average duration of diarrhea was 2.9 days, vomiting was present 88% of the cases, and all patients exhibited some signs of dehydration. The infants were administered the oral formula recommended by the World Health Organization. Patients received 400 ml of oral solution followed by 200 ml of water. The treatment was repeated until skin tuger was normal. 34% of the infants were rehydrated within 6 hours and 76% within 20 hours. Patients were admitted with a variety of electrolyte abnormalies. 24% had hyponatraemia, 27% had hypokalaemia, and 23% had hypernatraemia. Sodium levels were improved within 24 hours for all patients except for 5 hyponataemia patients. Although rotavirus patients had higher stool glucose concentrations than the other patients, they apparently absorbed enough of the solution to rehydrate successfully. Specific data on changes in weight, plasma protins, hematocrit, blood composition, and stool composition and on therapeutic failures was provided. Investigators concluded that ORT was a safe and effective form of therapy for both rotavirus and bacterial diarrhea and for severe cases of dehydration.

Metrizamide is a nonionic water-soluble contrast medium for neuroradiological studies that is less irritating to the nervous system than other water-soluble agents. Studies in adults have shown that metrizamide has advantages over currently available media, but experience with children has been limited. Sixty-two children have had myelography or ventriculography using metrizamide. The children ranged in age from 11 days to 22 years. Technically satisfactory studies were obtained in every patient. No major complications were encountered. Minor side-effects included headache in 11 children (18%), mild nausea or vomiting in 16 children (26%), and fever in 4 children (6%). Seizures did not occur. One infant in the study subsequently died of unrelated problems; there was no evidence of arachnoiditis at postmortem examination. Metrizamide is a safe, effective contrast medium for neuroradiological use in children.
