    An analysis is made of parasite counts made on the first day of treatment in a series of 750 cases of acute subtertian malaria. The analysis affords data of the parasitological intensity of the subtertian infections prevalent in the Kuala Lumpur district of the Malay States during 2 years of normal malarial incidence and severity, and suggests:- 1. (a) That parasite counts made on the first day of treatment are of considerable prognostic reliability. 2. (b) That the counts made during the course of treatment are a useful guide to progress but are open to occasional fallacy. 3. (c) That the extreme limit of tolerance of Asiatic adults for the local strains of P. falciparum is probably in the region of three quarters of a million parasites per c.mm. of peripheral blood.

    A review of 352 patients with primary liver cell carcinoma treated by the author is presented. The poor rate of resectability (7 per cent) has necessitated various forms of treatment over the years. These are described in detail. Based on this experience, the current form of treatment for nonresectable carcinoma is summarized. Although it is too early to assess this form of treatment, initial results appear to be promising. A second report in the near future is planned.

    A review of acute childhood leukemia in the University Hospital, Kuala Lumpur reveals no significant differences in either the epidemiological or clinical features between Malaysian and Caucasian children. BCG does not appear to have conferred any protection against the occurrence of leukemia. With the introduction of total therapy 4 of 10 patients with good prognostic features and 3 of 15 patients with poor prognostic features have survived 3 years. Prognosis appears to correlate with adopted clinical criteria.

    3 cases of perforating injury with retention of intra-ocular foreign body are presented. Their clinical presentation, management and final visual results are discussed. Despite the generally poor prognosis associated with these injuries, some cases surprisingly have good visual results.

    A 13 year review at the University Hospital, Kuala Lumpur reveals that chronic myeloid leukaemia (CML) constitutes 4.3% of all childhood leukaemia. Adult type of CML occurs in older children and is associated with marked splenomegaly, leukocytosis and thrombocytosis and the presence of Philadelphia chromosome. Although the initial response to busulphan was encouraging most of the patients succumbed; 2 patients underwent acute lymphoblastic transformation. Juvenile CML occurs in younger children and is associated with less marked splenomegaly, leukocytosis and thrombocytopenia and the presence of elevated fetal haemoglobin levels. The disease is characterised by an acute fulminating course. Despite improved survival in acute lymphoblastic leukaemia, the outlook for chronic myeloid leukaemia in childhood remains poor and treatment needs re-evaluation.

    A retrospective study of intraocular foreign bodies treated at the University Hospital over 10 years from 1970 - 1979 was carried out. Of the 48 cases reviewed, nine were anterior chamber foreign bodies while the rest were posterior segment foreign bodies. The anterior chamber foreign bodies had better visual prognosis as compared to the posterior segment foreign bodies. Most of the patients were young Chinese males and most of the injuries were due to accidents at work involving the 'hand hammer' (includes other implements used as a hammer).

    From a total of 163 renal biopsies there were 12 cases (9.1%) of IgA nephropathy. All of them presented with symptomatic or asymptomatic proteinuria and/or haematuria. The pattern of disease here generally conforms to reports elsewhere. However in contrast it appears to be common in both sexes and the clinical course tends to be more severe In males. The absence of IgG In the glomeruli on immunoffourescence was an unexpected finding. The presence of hypertension, renal insufficiency and glomerulo·interstitial scarring seem to indicate poorer prognosis. There is no known effective treatment.

    One hundred four children with acute lymphoblastic leukaemia were diagnosed at the University Hospital, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, between 1976 and 1982; 87 were evaluable with respect to treatment. They were divided into good prognosis (GP) and bad prognosis (BP) groups based on their initial total white cell count, their treatment differing only during the maintenance phase. Remission was achieved in 82 patients (94%) of whom ten (12%) subsequently died in remission from infection. Twenty-eight (34%) relapsed while on treatment and three while off therapy. Eleven patients ceased treatment after 3 yr of continuous complete remission (CCR). Three of these later relapsed, two within the first year. Survival in CCR was significantly better in the GP group up to 30 months, after which the difference diminished. There was no difference in survival between boys and girls. The overall disease-free survival at 3 yr and 5 yr was 40% and 25%, respectively, with a median follow-up period of 20 months (range 4-69 months). The reasons for the relatively low survival rates as compared with those in developed countries are discussed.

    The overall mortality rate of babies delivered in the University Hospital, Kuala Lumpur has improved significantly from 18.5 in 1969-1971 to 9.9 per thousand live births in 1979-1981. This drop in mortality is also seen in those infants weighing 1001 - 2000 g at birth. Indian babies in the weight group 1001 - 1500 g at birth appear to have a significantly lower mortality than the other races. Babies referred from outside have a much higher mortality rate compared to babies delivered in University Hospital, Kuala Lumpur.

    A survey to assess the degree of occupational and physical rehabilitation was conducted on patients treated on chronic haemodialysis, using the semiquantitative Karnovsky scale. The survey revealed that over 90% of patients achieved good rehabilitation and returned to employment or to household duties. Chronic haemodialysis is effective in prolonging life and most patients were rehabilitated with useful levels of physical activity.

    Long-term ventilatory support of a child with bronchopulmonary dysplasia is described. Dedicated nursing care and emotional support of child and family were two important factors in the management of the child in intensive care, and in the weaning of the child from the ventilator.
