    Notes: Summary The dependence of blood pressure upon internal rhythms and the short-term effects of shift rota on the blood pressure were investigated in shift workers. Blood pressure was measured every 30 min using automatic recorders for 24 h in 17 physically working men in a chemical factory during their morning and night shifts. Mean 24-h blood pressures were identical in the morning and night shifts. There were no differences of the mean blood pressure between the respective sleeping phases or between the working periods. The amplitudes of circadian blood pressure variations were equal. There was a phase difference of 8 h corresponding to the lag between the working periods. At this 8-h lag the hourly means of the 24-h blood pressure were closely correlated (r = 0.69). Comparisons of 24-h blood pressure profiles during the first and last days of a night shift week showed that the effects of night work on the blood pressure were already fully developed within the first 24h (r = 0.86). Thus the diurnal variations of the blood pressure are determined by the working and sleeping periods and largely independent of endogenous rhythm. There is no short-term alteration of the mean 24-h blood pressure after shift rota.

    Notes: Abstract We examined 58 children aged 1–16 years with various forms of osteogenesis imperfecta (OI). Congenital cardiac malformations were diagnosed in 4 children (valvular aortic stenosis, 2 with atrial septal defect II, Fallot Tetralogy). Two additional children developed holosystolic mitral valve prolapse and regurgitation. Children suffering from a severe clinical course (type III according to the Sillence classification) showed aortic root dilatation (28%) and increased septal (40%) and posterior left ventricular wall thickening (68%) on initial evaluation. All three parameters were significantly correlated to body surface area. Kidney stones and renal papillary calcifications were detected in 4 children. Cardiovascular abnormalities and nephrolithiasis may be important extraskeletal manifestations of childhood OI.
