A comparison of two methods for the evaluation of the daily urinary fluoride excretion in Romanian pre-school children.

Objective: To compare two different methods of estimating daily fluoride urinary excretion in pre-school children under stable fluoride intake conditions.

Design: Thirty-five healthy kindergarten children, permanent residents of Targu-Mures, Romania, where the average drinking water fluoride concentration is 0.12 mg F/L, participated on two separate occasions, when they were aged 4-6 and 5-7 years, respectively in the collection of a) a mid-morning spot urine sample and b) a 16-h time-controlled urine sampling.

Lipoproteinlipase activity in multiple sclerosis and other neurologic diseases.

Taking into account the disturbances of lipid metabolism occurring in patients with demyelinating diseases, an expected finding was their increased basal lipolytic activity. We investigated 135 cases divided into 4 categories: 1. MS; 2.

Computerized electroencephalographic mapping in hypomagnesian spasmophilic syndromes.

Out of 397 patients presenting hypomagnesaemia there were selected for this study only 107 cases with neurotic and neuromuscular clinical picture (sometimes with short and simple loss of consciousness) without any sign of organic cerebral lesion. The dosing of the seric and erythrocytic magnesium was performed by means of a colorimetric method of Mann and Yoe, modified by the authors. In all the cases, the EEG and EMG changes were studied by simultaneous recording of the EEG and EMG before, during and after hyperpnoea.
