[Comparative evaluation of the methods of surgical treatment of congenital clubfoot in children].

The observation and treatment of 142 children have shown that most favorable results were obtained in operations on soft tissues of the foot not involving the integrity of tendons of the peroneal group of muscles. The method developed by the authors is the most physiological one and contributes to the quickest recovery of functions of the foot and talocrural articulation.

Cystinosis phenotypes have identical defective cystine clearance pattern.

Exposure of cultured skin fibroblast of normal, infantile nephropathic, juvenile-late-onset and adult type cystinotic patients and their corresponding obligate heterozygotes to 0.5 mmol/l of 35S cystine dimethyl ester for 30 minutes, resulted in an accumulation of cystine within the cells, and was used to look for differences in cystine clearance between the different cell types. The results suggested that all cystinotic variants are defective in their capacity to eliminate cystine to the same extent.
