Women in search of stability.

This paper is based on a study of 97 recruits--50 sterilized and 47 non-sterilized--to a family planning programme in Kingston, Jamaica and tries to account for the reluctance of Jamaican women to accept contraceptive sterilization. The study demonstrates the association between mating patterns in the island and the acceptance of sterilization. This irreversible method was more likely to be chosen by women in more stable sexual unions.

Child morbidity in the Kingston metropolitan area, Jamaica 1983.

The case reports of all children admitted to public and private hospitals in the Kingston metropolitan area were examined for an analysis, by special areas, of spatial variations in child morbidity. A Poisson probability test was applied in order to determine areas of significant excesses in admission rates and three special areas selected for a child health survey. At the 0.025 significance level 20 of the 72 special areas had significantly higher and three significantly lower levels of admission. The survey confirmed the pattern revealed by hospital admissions and suggested that the children of young, unemployed and single women may be particularly vulnerable.

A specific test for the identification of cyst fluid samples from suspected human hydatid infections.

A simple and sensitive two-step enzyme immunoassay for Echinococcus antigen was developed, using peroxidase conjugated IgG fractions of rabbit anti-Echinococcus granulosus cyst fluid serum or of pooled sera from human hydatid patients, to assay samples of cystic fluid taken from patients with suspected hydatid cyst infections. The assay was 100% positive with nine proven human hydatid cyst fluids; in six patients with cysts where serology was negative, there was no evidence of Echinococcus antigen in the cyst fluid. This simple procedure is therefore of value in confirming or excluding the diagnosis of hydatid in cystic fluid obtained by biopsy or after surgery.
