BACKGROUND Infantile colic is a self-limiting condition that is distributed worldwide. It is often misdiagnosed as an organic disease for which an infant is admitted to the hospital. Many studies have described the aetiopathogenesis, pharmacologic and non-pharmacologic management of colic but none has evaluated self-medication for infants with colic. The aim of this study was therefore to deter...

C OLIC IS truly a noisy phenomenon in terms of the crying that the infant does. But it is also a noisy phenomenon to study in terms of the basic phenomenonology of crying that constitutes the defining behavioral feature of the syndrome. As can be appreciated in Figure 3 in the article by Clifford et al in this issue of the ARCHIVES, even at 3 months of age, after most colic has resolved, there ...

Four databases were searched and three randomised clinical trials met all the inclusion criteria. The totality of this evidence fails to demonstrate the effectiveness of this treatment. It is concluded that the above claim is n...

BACKGROUND Crib-biting and windsucking (CBWS) behaviour in horses has been associated with increased risk of colic in general, recurrence of colic and specific forms of colic. The aims of the present study were to determine the prevalence of colic within a population of horses that display CBWS behaviour and to identify risk factors for colic. METHODS Owners/carers of horses in the general UK...

Criteria for referral to a hospital and for surgical intervention for horses with colic have been well established. However, the focus of this presentation is different and has been imposed on many of us by a harsh economy, specifically management of the colic patient when referral is not an option. Under these conditions, the challenge will be to clearly identify when to forge on and when to e...

An intervention for infant irritability or colic was evaluated in a randomized clinical trial. A total of 121 full-term irritable infants (2 to 6 weeks old) were randomized to routine care or the home-based intervention program. A third group (n=43) of irritable infants were entered into a post-test-only group. Following the 4-week intervention, the treatment group infants cried 1.7 hours less ...
