Hereditary spherocytosis (HS) is an autosomal, dominantly inherited hemolytic disorder which shows characteristic spherocytes on peripheral smear. As spherocytes are rounder, more fragile and susceptible to extravascular hemolysis in the spleen, HS patients suffer from variable degrees of anemia, jaundice, splenomegaly and gall stones. However the pathogenesis is heterogenous in HS, such as spectrin deficiency, decreased spectrin-protein 4.1 binding, increased spectrin binding to the RBC...

The diagnosis of congenital hypertrophic pyloric stenosis has traditionally been made on the basis of history and physical examination in the majority of patients. Imaging procedures such as UGI series have been reserved for vomiting infats in whom the diagnosis was obscure. More recently ultrasonography with the lack of hazards associated with radiation provides an additional method of investigation which is accurate and diagnose...

After the self therapy, home care program was introduced in the 1970s’ in the United States, there was significant reduction in absentism, hospitalized days, outpatient visits, decrease...
2 Cases of Infantile Spasms(Cryptogenic Type) Treated with ACTH Therapy.
Shin Heh Kang, Chang Jun Coe
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1987;30(8):928-933.   Published online August 31, 1987
We have experienced 2 cases of infantile spasms treated with ACTH. They were diagnosed as cryptogenic type within relatively short duration after the onset. With the administration of ACTH, flexor spasms and hypsarrhythmia disappeared. They did not demonstrate any intellectual impair- ment on OPD follow up study. A brief review of literatures was made.
