Three cases of a small supernumerary chromosomal anomaly of essentially unknown origin associated with wide variability of clinical expression are reported. Case II has, in addition, a pericentric inversion of chromosome 5, which enables us to propose a mechanism, involving an unsuccessful crossing over, for the origin of the supernumerary chromosome.
1. Rats of four different age groups were injected intraperitoneally with labelled thymidine and killed 1, 7 or 12 days later. 2. The epididymal fat-pads were separated into fat-cells and stromal elements by collagenase digestion. 3. The incorporation of labelled thymidine into the deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) of both fractions was greatest in the 6-week-old animals. Uptake was significantly decreased in 12- and 15-week-old animals and was lowest in 22-week-old rats.

Treatment of MCS, an illness characterized by reaction to a multiplicity of factors coming from within the patient and from the social and physical environment, must incorporate multiple types of help, all directed toward supplying what these patients require. Medical, psychiatric, and social work treatment are all significant and all different, with overlap in several areas. As in all practice in the medical setting, the overall function of the social worker is to enable the MCS patient to make use of what the physician has to offer by supporting the patient's capacity to cope with the social and emotional impact of his/her illness.
