Finger patterns and ridge counts of patients with Klinefelter's syndrome (47, XXY) among the Japanese.

Finger prints of a series of 48 Japanese patients with Klinefelter's syndrome (47, XXY) were studied as to frequencies of patterns and ridge counts. The patients displayed frequencies of the finger patterns on all digits similar to those of normal female controls. The finger patterns on individual digits of the patients, nevertheless, showed frequencies distinguishable from those of both normal male and female controls; arch pattern on digit I was significantly higher in incidence in Klinefelter's syndrome, whereas on digit II, ulnar loops were significantly more frequent and whorls less frequent in the patients. The patients were also noted to show significantly lower ridge counts for loops and whorls as compared with the normal controls. In Klinefelter's syndrome, significant diminution of the total finger ridge counts was demonstrable and this has been attributed not so much to the increased incidence of arches as to the frequent occurence of patterns with low ridge counts. The frequencies of finger patterns on all digits similar to those of normal females, the increased occurrence of patterns with low ridge counts as compared with the normal females, noted in the present series, are the characteristic features that are in common with those reported on white patients with this syndrome.

Simplified method for transvaginal closure of vesicovaginal fistula after hysterectomy.

The application of a modified Latzko's partial colpocleisis to vesicovaginal fistula occurring after abdominal hysterectomy has been reported. The present method, which is safe and highly effective, can be perfomred with ease by urologists having little experience with transvaginal operations. It is important in performing the present operation to remove the tension on the bladder wall by dissecting the cleavage plane between the vaginal wall and the bladder wall in a distal direction from the denuded area surrounding the fistula.

Hallucal ridge counts in patients with Klinefelter's syndrome.

Ridges counts of the whorls, distal loops and tibial loops of the hallucal patterns of 85 Klinefelter's syndrome patients (47,XXY) were undertaken. Comparison with counts from normal male and female controls showed that the whorls and distal loops of the Klinefelter's patients had significantly fewer ridges, if the ridge count was limited to the tibial side of the patterns. These findings are in contrast with those of Turner's syndrome cases, in which the hallucal patterns have greater ridge counts than normal subjects. As a result, it is suspected that deficiency or excess of the X chromosome affects the hallucal ridge count as well as the ridge counts of fingers and palms.
