Article
Grand multiparity has been considered to be a factor in maternal and neonatal morbidity. In addition, families with seven or more children have been associated with low socioeconomic status. To minimize the confounding effect of the socioeconomic status, the outcome of grand multiparity has been investigated in a mostly homogeneous, ultraorthodox J...

To the Editor.— In addition to the various uses of microcomputers in general pediatrics described by Schwartz and Hammer1 and their use for self-evaluation in pediatric practice as noted by Gouyon et al,2 we would like to draw attention to another application as used in our neonatal intensive care unit. We have developed an interactive microcompute...
Article
A responsive, iterating program is described (available on diskette from first author), which enables the physician to formulate a balanced, total parenteral nutrition (TPN) for low-birth-weight and sick newborns. The program allows for the possibility of TPN or simultaneous intravenous, intraarterial, and oral feeding. It calculates the overall ba...

These studies were conducted in ultra-orthodox Jewish communities with high socio-economic background and equal access to medical care. ...
... 34 Similarly, Harper et al. 35 developed a system in BASIC that executed on an Apple II Plus computer that integrated safety limits, recorded the patient's parenteral nutrition content and produced a systematic, consistent, legible parenteral nutrition order sheet. Additional investigators have reported independently developed electronic neonatal parenteral nutrition design systems before 36,37 and after 38,39 development of the Web. ...
... 2,3 IgAV clinically presents with the tetrad of palpable purpura, abdominal pain, arthralgias, and kidney involvement. 1 Although gastrointestinal involvement with IgAV is most commonly limited to abdominal pain, additional findings may include pancreatitis, intussusception, bowel ischemia, and gallbladder involvement. [4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13] Here, we report a unique case of an acute onset of IgAV with simultaneous acalculous cholecystitis. ...
