Long-term follow-up of therapeutic starvation.
A total of 75 grossly obese patients were admitted to hospital for 80 episodes of prolonged starvation. Five took their own discharge within two weeks of admission and 12 defaulted from follow-up within 12 months of discharge. The others were all followed up for periods of 12 to 64 months. Altogether 39 episodes in 34 patients were classified as failures, eight as modified successes, and 16 as successes, though five of the latter patients subsequently defaulted. Success was associated with regular follow-up attendance but could not be otherwise predicted. A number of patients obtained tangible benefit from starvation despite a subsequent gain in weight.

Seasonality of presentation of imported Plasmodium vivax malaria in Birmingham, UK.
Residents of the UK returning from northern Pakistan with Plasmodium vivax infection tend to develop symptoms and present to hospital in the summer months, irrespective of the month of return. Thus, infections acquired in the cooler months of November to April appear to have a longer latency before presentation. Experiments suggest that more hypnozoites arise from the liver when ambient temperatures fall, somehow 'programming' parasites within biting mosquitoes.
