cryptorchidism/vomiting

The possibility that antiemetics used during pregnancy are teratogenic has been hotly debated; the effect of vomiting itself, however, has been largely ignored. The relation between vomiting and congenital malformations was examined in a prospective study of 16398 women who registered for prenatal

Previous epidemiological studies of cryptorchidism have led to the hypothesis that the risk of undescended testis is associated with excess oestrogen exposure during pregnancy. A case-control study was undertaken to test this hypothesis, comparing mothers of affected boys (244) and normal male

A case-control study of cryptorchidism was undertaken in Japan. A hundred and eight mothers of children with cryptorchidism and mothers of their matched controls were surveyed. After 4 pairs which consisted of one of twin siblings either in the cases or the controls were excluded, 104 paired data of

BACKGROUND The time at which children should resume oral intake after surgery is controversial. No information has been published about the relationship between postoperative vomiting and the temperature of the fluid ingested. This study was designed to analyze the effect on postoperative vomiting

A study on possible association of maternal factors with undescended testis was undertaken. A comparison was made using mothers of boys with the disease (No. = 108) and mothers of boys without the disease (No. = 108). The boys without the disease were selected from outpatients by individually

The hypothesis that undescended testis is caused by an excess of maternal oestrogen in pregnancy has been tested indirectly in a case-control study comparing mothers of boys with undescended testis (83) and mothers of normal boys (129) born on the same day. The study concentrated on the gestation of

BACKGROUND Complicated inguinal hernias pose a threat to the life of the child as well as increase the morbidity associated with management of an otherwise straightforward condition. The aim of this study was to determine the presentation, treatment and management outcome of complicated inguinal

OBJECTIVE To determine the pattern, outcome and the prognostic factors in childhood inguinal hernia. METHODS A five-year prospective study. METHODS Wesley Guild Hospital, Ilesa, Nigeria. RESULTS Two hundred and eight patients presented with 237 inguinal or inguinoscrotal hernias. Seventy one per

A 13 1/2-month-old boy with severe microcephaly was found to have nearly total absence of the telencephalon. The patient had marmorated skin, hypoplastic penis and undescended testes. Spastic tetraparesis was present. Moro, grasp and sucking reflexes were easily elicited. He could not sit or stand,

A 10-year-old mentally retarded boy with terminal 6q25 deletion, dysmorphism and striking abnormal behaviour is reported. The main abnormal physical features recorded at different ages consisted of hydrocephalus, axial hypotonia, absence of spontaneous prehension, long face, synophris, hypertelorism

The proband and his elder brother had intrauterine growth retardation, hypospadias, cryptorchism, a high palate, distally placed axial triradii, and a functional and maturational CNS defect that improved with age and included the inability to suck, severe swallowing difficulties, and frequent

Interstitial hernias are a rare subtype of abdominal hernias, where sac is present in between the abdominal wall layers. Although, difficult to diagnose clinically, they are usually detected on imaging studies. Interstitial hernias presenting with undescended testis are common. Even after a

We sent questionnaires to 424 retina specialists in order to compile information on the use of fluorescein angiography in pregnant women. Four-hundred and three specialists responded. Of these, 313 (78%) had never performed fluorescein angiography on a pregnant woman. Ninety specialists (22%) had
