“…This difference also indicates that delay in speech and development is more than merely an epiphenomenon in the child abuse spectrum. [22][23][24] The appreciably higher age distribution of the injured children is to some extent accounted for by the 'over-chastisement' of older children. In a proportion of these this appears to stem from intolerable disturbed behaviour due to neglectful or abusive parenting in the past.…”

“…The association with growth failure and non-accidental injury is shown in tables 3 and 4. Growth problems and non-accidental injury 21 (24) 33 (13) 64 The results of x2 analyses of these data show that after correction for overlap among subsets, growth problems are significantly more often associated with delay than non-accidental injury but that the combination of growth problems and non-accidental injury has a higher prevalence of developmental delay than either alone. …”

SUMMARY Of 260 children considered to have been the victims of child abuse or neglect, or both, 149 suffered non-accidental injury, 71 had evidence of growth problems, 87 had developmental and speech delay, and 63 showed evidence of appreciable behaviour disturbance. While the overall prevalence of development and behaviour problems in the series was high there were particular associations noted between growth problems and developmental delay, between increasing age and behaviour disturbance, and between evidence of emotional deprivation and both behaviour disturbance and developmental delay. Children with non-accidental injury but without growth problems or emotional deprivation were least likely to show behaviour or developmental problems.

The planktonic and young biofilm cells (harvested on day 2) of mucoid Pseudomonas aeruginosa were susceptible to the bactericidal actions of whole blood and serum. Aging biofilms of this organism (harvested on day 7) were very resistant to the killing effect of whole blood and serum. From this study we propose that the establishment of aging biofilms may contribute to persistence of this organism in biofilm-associated infections.
