[Evaluation of newborns with brain disease using 123I-IMP SPECT].

Eleven newborns with suspected cerebral disease were evaluated using 123I-IMP SPECT. In a normal subject, high uptake was shown in the sensorimotor cortex, thalamus, midbrain-brainstem, and cerebellar vermis. Decreased perfusion was also noted in the frontal lobe.

[Laboratory and clinical studies on cefdinir (10% fine granules) in pediatric field].

Clinical studies on 10% fine granules of cefdinir (CFDN), a new cephem antibiotic, were carried out in the field of pediatrics. The results obtained are summarized as follows. 1.

Case studies on the effect of exercise and hot water submersion on intracardiac temperature and the performance of a pacemaker which varies pacing rate based on temperature.

The effectiveness of using blood temperature change as an indicator to automatically vary heart rate physiologically was evaluated in 3 patients implanted with Model Sensor Kelvin 500 (Cook Pacemaker Corporation, Leechburg, PA, USA) pacemakers. Each patient performed two block-randomized treadmill exercise tests: one while programmed for temperature-based, rate-modulated pacing and the other while programmed without rate modulation. In 1 pacemaker patient and 4 volunteers, heart rates were recorded during exposure to a hot water bath.
