[Long-range intelligence development of children with congenital hypothyroidism].

The intellectual development of 105 children with congenital hypothyroidism was assessed. In 70 children the assessment was repeated in several times. Correlations between development of intelligence and influence of biological and/or psychosocial risks were verified.

[Course and prognosis of internal hydrocephalus in children].

Sixty-two patients with infantile hydrocephalus were reexamined at ages ranging from 2-19 years. Operations had been performed in 46 children. The long-term intellectual prognosis of hydrocephalus is described.

[Neuropsychologically oriented examination of preschool children. Practical consequences].

A random sample of the neuropediatric patients in our department, i.e. pre-school children of normal intelligence with brain injuries or suspected brain injuries, was investigated using a neuropsychological test system and compared with an age-standardized population of uninjured children.

[Hermann Emminghaus--100 years of the psychopathology of childhood and adolescence].

The centenary of Hermann Emminghaus's monograph "Die psychischen Störungen des Kindesalters" ("The Psychic Disorders of Childhood") gives occasion to appreciate the life and work of the founder of modern children and youth psychiatry. Children and youth psychiatry, in the G.D.

[Subjective factor in EEG evaluation exemplified by the nonspecific hyperventilation effect].

Subjective differences in EEG evaluation are demonstrated by means of a seven step scale for grading the unspecific hyperventilation effect in 3263 EEG of children. Intermediate steps of this scale allow to minimize such unavoidable differences.

[Morbidity of term and low-birth weight infants born in breech presentation by vaginal or abdominal delivery].

182 children born in breech presentation were investigated at the age of 5 to 6 years with regard to late morbidity after vaginal delivery and caesarean section. From case historical data, development in early childhood was assessed comparing the criteria of walking, speaking and "dryness". An attempt was made to find a relation between neonatal data and late morbidity.

[The unstable-frequency EEG--as a concept and its correlations to neuropsychiatric diseases in children].

A total of 21,040 electroencephalograms obtained from 6,834 children constituting the routine patient stock of an electroencephalographic department of a pediatric clinic were checked for "frequency instability". It was possible to observe an age dependence of this characteristic and determine statistical correlations with certain clinical disease units showing different frequencies of this particular characteristic, especially neuropathies and neuroses.
