Effect of ABO incompatibility on the fate in vivo of 111Indium granulocytes.

The effect of ABO incompatibility on the in vivo fate of 111Indium granulocytes was determined. The intravascular recovery and survival (t1/2) and extravascular migration into a skin window of normal-donor granulocytes did not differ in 15 subjects from the values obtained in four controls who received ABO-compatible granulocytes. Nor was the correlation between the ABO antibody titers and the in vivo measurements strongly positive. It is concluded that ABO incompatibility did not alter the in vivo fate of granulocytes.

Autoimmune neutropenia of infancy and early childhood.

Forty-one children were identified with autoimmune neutropenia of infancy and early childhood (absolute neutrophil count [ANC] less than 500/microliters and demonstrable serum antineutrophil antibodies). There were 21 boys and 20 girls; the median age at diagnosis was 11 months (range 5-38 months). No life-threatening infections occurred. There was a gradual upward trend in ANC in all patients over many months, with 87% having an ANC > 1000/microliters by 24 months from diagnosis. Among various clinical and laboratory parameters analyzed statistically, only younger age at diagnosis was associated with earlier neutrophil recovery. There was no association between degree or duration of neutropenia and sex, race, antibody reactivity, or presence of serious illness at diagnosis.

Interdisciplinary rural health training for health professional students: strategies for curriculum design.

Interdisciplinary rural health program offer a promising solution to the challenge of preparing graduates for rural practice, with the ultimate goal of promoting better health care for rural populations. This article focuses on the three-year experience of a model interdisciplinary rural health curriculum implemented in eastern North Carolina. Ten strategies are presented as a framework for the design and implementation of an effective practice-based curriculum for interdisciplinary rural health training. Allied health educators should examine existing curriculum models to build upon their strengths and explore new models to meet evolving delivery system and consumer needs.
