Ankylosing spondylitis in a large kindred: clinical and genetic studies.

In a kindred of 66 members spanning four generations, seven cases of ankylosing spondylitis (AS) HAVE BEEN FOUND. Four of these were in a single sibship of 13. AS was associated with HL-A27 in three of the four involved siblings, but close linkage was shown to be unlikely. Knowledge of HL-A genotype has made possible informed counseling for younger members of the sibship of 13, some of whom, as teenagers, already have back pain.

Treating heroin overdose.

Immediate attention must be given to the respiratory system of the heroin abuser; then he should be given naloxone HCl. Search for evidence of use of additional drugs, which may compound problems. Pulmonary edema, aspiration pneumonia and pulmonary embolization are the most common complications. Infections, particularly endocarditis, and cardiac arrhythmia also occur with heroin overdose. Hepatitis is common. Treatment must include not only attention to the presenting symptoms but also referral to a rehabilitation center when possible.
