Transient hyperphosphatasaemia of infancy and failure to thrive.

Failure to THRIVE.

tive way of looking at incidents and accidents arising in high-risk environments [3]. He proposed that we look at work in terms of coupling and complexity of interactions. This approach has been applied to anaesthetic practice to break the chain of accident evolution [4]. The headline message from this is that when coupling is tight and complexity is high, the risk of a bad outcome is increased...

Weight faltering and failure to thrive in infancy and early childhood.

Calcium metabolism in idiopathic hypercalcaemia of infancy with failure to thrive.

As pointed out by a leader in the Lancet (1953), marasmus or 'teething' no longer satisfies paediatricians as a diagnosis for an infant's failure to thrive. The clinical studies of Lightwood and the biochemical work of Payne have recently shown that failure to thrive with constipation, hypotonia, polyuria, loss of appetite with occasional vomiting and intermittent urinary infection may be assoc...

[Benign transient hyperphosphatasaemia in infants: Clinical series].

Alkaline Phosphatase (ALP) is a group of 4 isoenzymes produced in different tissues. Elevated levels of ALP can be developed under physiological conditions, and can indicate the presence of bone or hepatobiliary diseases. In children, one of its most common harmless causes is benign transient hyperphosphatasaemia (BTH), a little known condition. The objective is to report BTH cases and propose ...
