The proposal by V. Vojta in 1974 to prevent development of cerebral palsy in "motor risk" infants by special treatment has been investigated in 11 Danish and 10 Swedish babies and compared with 30 control infants with similar risk, who were not given Vojta treatment. We found a tendency for "uncomplicated" cerebral palsy cases to accumulate in the control group, although the difference was non-significant on 1 5% level. Further controlled studies must be completed before it is possible to accept the prophylactive treatment of cerebral palsy recommended by Vojta.

A comparison has been made of serum values of LDH-isoenzymes obtained by simultaneous sampling of capillary and venous blood in 40 normal children. No satisfactory correlation between the paired values could be found. Evaluation of the pattern of serum LDH-isoenzymes in children therefore requires a reference, i.e. normal values of isoenzymes obtained by the same technique of blood sampling.
