Description
The authors describe a method of determining electrolytes (Na, K, CI) and phosphorus in small fragments of muscle taken from child patients by needle biopsy. This method has been used to study muscular disturbances in hydroelectrolytic illnesses of childhood, whether acute, such as dehydration or toxicosis in infants, or chronic, such as malnutrition or marasmus. The results are discussed in the light of parallel data obtained by other methods of investigation. The authors also discuss the possibility of using this method to estimate intra-cellular hydroelectrolytic disorders in child pathology. (author)
Abstract (French)
Les auteurs présentent la description d'une méthode permettant le dosage des electrolytes (Na, K, Cl) et du phosphore sur de petits fragments musculaires prélevés par ponction-biopsie chez l'enfant. Cette méthode a été appliquée à l'étude des perturbations du milieu musculaire dans des troubles hydroélectrolytiques aigus (déshydratation et toxicose des nourrissons) et chroniques (malnutrition et dénutrition) de l'enfance. Les résultats obtenus sont discutés à la lumière de données recueillies parallèlement par d'autres méthodes d'investigation. Les auteurs discutent également la possibilité d'estimer par cette méthode les perturbations hydroélectrolytiques intra-cellulaires en pathologie pédiatrique. (author)Additional details
