“…The child with the "cocktail party" syndrome seems to be atypical in a further way. Children experiencing extensive hospitalization in infancy have been found to show impairment of communication skills (Haggerty 1959). When the child is immobilized as a consequence of hospital treatment, delays in language development and subsequent articulation defects have been reported (Bergmann 1945, Sibinga and Friedman 1971, Friedman and Sibinga 1973.…”

This paper reviews the literature o n the "cocktail party" syndrome, a language disorder apparently specific to children with hydrocephalus. The results of detailed psychological testing at the age of jive showed that children with the cocktail party syndrome can be distinguished fiom other cases of spina bijida, as having significantly lower Wechsler Intelligence Test scores and very retarded social skills. Visual perceptual abilities were also significantly poorer. The reported verbal fluency of children with the cocktail party syndrome did not, however, lead to superior scores on the Reynell Expressive Language Scales, for these children found difficulty in using language creatively in spite of good syntax. Further assessment at the age of seven revealed these children to be significantly poorer than other cases of spina bijida in reading, spelling, arithmetic, and they had shorter concentration spans and slightly more behaviour problems in school according to their teachers. There was evidence that the cocktail party syndrome declines with age and its presence at the age of ten is diagnostically significant o f a subnormal level o f intelligence. Children with this syndrome are more likely to be female and to have more severe physical handicaps. It is suggested that the results of this survey explain certain controversies in the literature.

“…Another devastating outcome of a longer duration of SAM is the long-term impact of SAM on nervous system development. Studies of humans and animals have revealed that prolonged starvation in infants and children results in clinical neurological deficits, including learning deficits and behavioral problems [14,15].…”

OBJECTIVES: Recovery time from severe acute malnutrition (SAM) is often a neglected topic despite its clinical impact. Although a few studies have examined nutritional recovery time, the length of hospitalization in those studies varied greatly. Therefore, the aim of this study was to determine the recovery time from SAM and to identify predictors of length of hospitalization among under-5 children.METHODS: A retrospective cohort study was conducted among 423 under-5 children with SAM who had been admitted to Yekatit 12 Hospital. Kaplan-Meier analysis was used to estimate time to nutritional recovery, and Cox proportional hazard regression analysis was performed to determine independent predictors.RESULTS: The nutritional recovery rate was 81.3%, and the median recovery time was 15.00 days (95% confidence interval [CI], 13.61 to 16.39). Age, daily weight gain per kilogram of body weight, vaccination status, and the existence of at least 1 comorbidity (e.g., pneumonia, stunting, shock, and deworming) were found to be significant independent predictors of nutritional recovery time. The adjusted hazard ratio (aHR) for nutritional recovery decreased by 1.9% for every 1-month increase in child age (aHR, 0.98; 95% CI, 0.97 to 0.99).CONCLUSIONS: The overall nutritional recovery time in this study was within the Sphere standards. However, approximately 13.0% of children stayed in the hospital for more than 28.00 days, which is an unacceptably large proportion. Daily weight gain of ≥8 g/kg, full vaccination, and deworming with albendazole or mebendazole reduced nutritional recovery time. Conversely, older age, pneumonia, stunting, and shock increased nutritional recovery time.

“…Language is one function in which severe retardation has been found repeatedly in institutionalized infants and young children ( Brodbeck & Irwin, 1946;DuPan & Roth, 1955;Fischer, 1952Fischer, ,1953Freud & Burlingham, 1944;Gesell & Amatruda, 1941;Skeels et al, 1938;Rheingold & Bayley, 1959) as well as in older children and adults with an institutional history (Bender, 1945(Bender, , 1947Goldfarb, 1945a;Haggerty, 1959;Lowery, 1940). There is disagreement in the literature on institutionalization only in the age at which language functions first seem to be affected.…”
