Oesophageal dilatation in Parkinson's disease.

In an unselected group of 37 patients with Parkinsonism the mean diameter of the oesophagus at the level of the 9th dorsal vertebra was 3·11 cm, which was significantly higher than the mean of 2·24 cm in a group of control patients. Six of the patients with Parkinsonism had gross oesophageal dilatation.

Twins: early mental development.

Mental development was appraised periodically for infant twins, and the twins displayed high within-pair concordance for level of mental development during the first and second years. Twins were also concordant for the spurts and lags in development in this period (monozygotic twins more so than dizygotic). From these results it was inferred that infant mental development was primarily determined by the twins' genetic blueprint and that, except in unusual cases, other factors served mainly a supportive function.
