An unusual fracture of the vertebral articular process in a skier.

An unusual vertical fracture through the superior articular process of L5 is described in a professional skier. This fracture, not associated with a pars interarticularis defect, is felt to be stress related. Standard oblique radiographs failed to demonstrate the defect but it was seen clearly on steep oblique views. The fracture was the casue of chronic backache to the patient. Followup radiographs after 14 months demonstrated a nonunion of the fracture.

Arteria magna revisited.

Arteria magna has been described pathologically in the literature as a peculiar and unique form of atherosclerosis. The authors offer an alternative hypothesis, based on results of angiographic studies with pathologic correlation in 18 patients with arteria magna. The findings indicate that this vascular entity might be more accurately described as a loss of the medial elastica with subsequent vessel enlargement both in length and diameter.

Peripheral contrast enhancement in chronic epidural hematomas.

Three cases of chronic epidural hematomas with contrast enhanced margins on computed tomography (CT) are presented. The CT findings in epidural hematoma are discussed, and two possible mechanisms for the enhancing margin of the chronic epidural hematoma are suggested.

Breast feeding and the dietary habits of children in rural Somalia.

Breast feeding and dietary habits were studied prospectively in a cohort of children under the age of five years in a rural Somali community. The median duration of breast feeding was 19.5 months. However, all the children also received cow's milk by cup from the first day of life and onwards. Energy supplements (mainly sugar and oil) as well as additional water were given daily from early infancy. Staples, protein-rich foods (beans and meat), vegetables and fruits were usually introduced when the children reached the age of 12-18 months. There was a seasonal variation with the lowest intake of protein-rich and vitamin-rich foods during the rains in May to June. Thus, there was a complete absence of exclusive breast feeding. Energy-reinforced cow's milk and human milk dominated the diet up to the age of one year. Staples were mixed with oil and supplemented with milk, thereby leading to a much higher energy density in the complementary food than is usually the case in African communities.
