Testing of 722 black hospital patients in Baltimore for the Duffy antigens found in whites demonstrated that 36.28 percent of the patients possessed these blood proteins. This group is the largest cluster of black individuals so examined in the United States. The results may provide a genetic benchmark for the Baltimore black population and offer a comparison with blacks in other areas.

Ani improved method for preparing polyethylene replicas of skin from silicone rubber molds was developed for examination in the scanning electron microscope. Electro micrographs of the replicas compare favorably to those of fixed tissues from the same animal. Because of the great depth of field of the scanning electron microscope, both loosely attached epidermal cells and the background epidermal surface can be seen simultaneously in sharp focus, thus providing, a more complete picture of the topography of skin.

BACKGROUND: Despite a short history that dates back to the 1960s, health services research (HSR) has become an important force in shaping the delivery system in the current health care environment. Nursing has been noticeably absent from this endeavor, and if it does not increase its presence, it risks missing an important opportunity to influence future directions of health care delivery. PURPOSE: Our purpose was to evaluate the state of nursing's HSR contributions and to consider ways to increase its capacity in this arena. METHOD: An interview with four members from nursing's leadership was conducted. DISCUSSION: Nurses can increase the capacity by becoming better collaborators with those who are currently contributing to HSR, both nurses and members of other healthcare disciplines. Also, by reshaping undergraduate and graduate curricula and creating mentorships, nursing can increase its involvement through an informed workforce. CONCLUSIONS: Solutions that were offered in this discussion are presented.
Percutaneous fixation of an unstable pelvic ring injury is becoming a popular method of pelvic stabilization. As posterior pelvic percutaneous techniques become more common, the possibility of iatrogenic complications increases. This case report describes an injury to the superior gluteal artery during percutaneous iliosacral screw insertion and the treatment of this potentially devastating injury.
