Do Australian Aborigines suffer from renal tract calculi?

Analysis of intravenous pyelograms performed in the Darwin Hospital over the five-year period, 1970-1974, showed that 9% of the examinations carried out on non-Aboriginal patients demonstrated calculi in the renal tract. Although considerably fewer pyelograms had been performed on Aboriginal patients, only one showed a calculus. The result has been shown to be highly significant and is discussed in relation to racial and other differences between the Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal people of the Northern Territory.

Volvulus of the transverse colon in an Australian aboriginal.

A case of volvulus of the transverse colon in an elderly female Australian Aboriginal is reported. The rarity of the condition is stressed and the radiological features are discussed. Reference is also made to the geographical distribution of all types of volulus of the colon, and to the apparently high incidence of the condition in Aboriginal patients admitted to the Darwin Hospital.

Destroyed lung. A report of cases in West Indians and Australian Aborigines.

A series of patients with total destruction of one lung by bronchiectasis and a normal contralateral lung is reported. Eight cases were West Indians of Negro race and four were Australian Aborigines. The bronchiectasis appears to be of post-infective type and is related to the poor social conditions under which the affected people live. It has also been noted in other developing countries or in under-privileged races in developed countries.

Duodenal ulcer--does it exist in Australia aborigines?

Analysis of barium meal examinations performed at the Darwin Hospital on 742 non-Aboriginal patients showed that 82 (11.5%) had duodenal ulcers. A similar analysis of barium meal examinations performed on 94 Aboriginal patients at the same hospital did not reveal any duodenal ulcers. Aboriginal patients form 22% of the local population and 18% of the hospital admissions. Therefore, it is suggested that duodenal ulcer is an uncommon disease in the Aboriginal population of the Northern Territory of Australia.
