    CHEST AND MIDARM CIRCUMFERENCES - IDENTIFICATION OF LOW-BIRTH-WEIGHT NEWBORNS IN TURKEY
    (Oxford Univ Press, 1995) ARISOY, AE; SARMAN, G
    The present study was performed to find out which anthropometric measurement(s) could efficiently be substituted for weight to detect neonates with low birth weight at birth. A total of 874 neonates, between 32 and 43 weeks of gestational age were measured within 24 h of birth to interpret the validity of anthropometric measurements. Low birth weight was observed in 10 per cent of the neonates. The study showed a significant correlation (P<0.001) between chest circumference, mid-arm circumference, head circumference, length, and birth weight. However, the correlation was maximum for chest circumference (r=0.855) and mid-arm circumference (r=0.798). A chest circumference of <30 cm and a mid-arm circumference of <9 cm had the best sensitivity and specificity for identifying neonates with a birth weight of <2500 g. Chest circumference and/or mid-arm circumference can be used as simple and reliable indicators for predicting low birth weight whenever weighing of newborns is not feasible.

    TAY-SACHS-DISEASE - A CASE-REPORT
    (Turkish J Pediatrics, 1995) ARISOY, AE; OZDEN, S; CILIV, G; OZALP, I
    Tay-Sachs disease (G(1/2) gangliosidosis I) is an autosomal recessive lysosomal-storage disorder confined to the central nervous system, resulting from deficiency of hexosaminidase A. The case presented is of a twelve-month-old girl brought to the hospital because of mental-motor deterioration and convulsions. She was the child of first cousins and had a history of the deaths of two siblings with the same manifestations. Generalized hypotonia, macrocephaly, hyperacusis and a retinal cherry red spot appearance were present. There was no organomegaly. The diagnosis of Tay-Sachs disease was made by means of absence of serum hexosaminidase A activity.
