Survey of haemorrhagic erosive gastritis.

Fluorescent-antibody studies in 22 patients out of a total of 40 cases of acute erosive gastritis showed no antibodies to gastric parietal cells. Hence erosive gastritis seems unlikely to be an autoimmune phenomenon.In this series 57.5% of cases belonged to blood group A. This suggests that there is a correlation between the instability of the gastric mucosa and blood group A.The operative mortality in erosive gastritis is high. Operation should be delayed as long as possible in the hope that the bleeding will stop spontaneously. Erosive gastritis may be idiopathic or precipitated by drugs, particularly aspirin. The highest risk was found to occur in those cases where bleeding was drug-induced.

Breed structure of Senepol cattle.

Data were collected by the Virgin Islands Beef Cattle Improvement Program and the Virgin Islands Agricultural Experiment Station staff to establish the breed structure of the Senepol cattle. Data for the analysis were limited to the two Virgin Islands Senepol breeders with the most complete and largest set of records, representing approximately 65% of the entire Senepol population. Inbreeding (F) and coancestry relationship coefficients (rAB) and the theoretical inbreeding (FT) were determined from each data set and for the combined data from both farms, for each year, ranging from 1947 to 1984 for Annaly Farms, and from 1967 to 1984 for Castle Nugent Farm. The data sets for both farms were examined for the possibility of separation into families. Actual F within the Senepol population was relatively low, averaging less than 1.00%. Some separation into families occurred within Annaly Farms' cattle. The F and FT decreased (1.6 to 0.7% and 1.0 to 0.2%, respectively) as population numbers increased. The low F was accomplished through the breeding programs and exchanges of animals between farms on the island.

Recurrent hip dislocation in intermediate spinal atrophy.

Recurrent hip dislocation after corrective orthopaedic surgery in children and teenagers with intermediate spinal atrophy has not been reported in the literature. Four cases with long-term follow-up are presented. These represent the only cases surgically treated in 30 years of following spinal atrophy patients. Thus, it seems significant that all hips redislocated after the surgical procedure. In addition, two patients had second operations with subsequent dislocation. Pelvic obliquity should not be the basis for the surgery, as spinal fusion is generally necessary for wheelchair users. The sagacity of performing surgery for hip dislocations is raised.
