[The prognosis of the very small premature infant. Catamnestic studies of premature infants with a birth weight up to 1,000 grams]. / Die Prognose der sehr kleinen Frühgeburt. Katamnestische Untersuchungen an Frühgeborenen bis zu einem Geburtsgewicht von 1000 Gramm.

29 of 50 premature infants with a birth weight up to 1,000 g survived and were examined between 2-9 years of age. 13 children showed no or only minimal abnormalities. 11 children were felt to require treatment but to have a good prognostic outcome. 3 children had multiple disabilities. From the total of 16 children requiring treatment only 5 were under treatment before our evaluation. The quality of life is good for 24 of the 29 survivors.

[5-day seizures of the newborn infant. A new disease picture]. / Die 5-Tage-Krämpfe des Neugeborenen. Ein neues Krankheitsbild.

A new syndrome of neonatal seizures is described observed in 18 apparently healthy newborns. Multifocal fits began at about the 5th. day of life, and generally lasted for 1-2 days. No particular complications of pregnancy or delivery were noted and no cause for the seizures were found. After discharge no further seizures were observed. The long-term prognosis seems to be favorable. According to nearly identical observations in France and Australia the term "fifth-day-fits of the newborn" is suggested. The diagnostic criteria and therapeutical suggestions are discussed.
