Abstract

It is likely that any practical automated chromosome analysis system will be interactive. To prevent long pauses in the stream of operator interactions, it is necessary, if using standard computer hardware, to configure for asynchronous and parallel operation. A system is presented which uses several computer processors, which can support one or more operators, and which divides processing into interactive and noninteractive sections, smoothes the rate of presentation of interactions, and keeps both the operator and the computer fully employed.

Phenotypic vs. genotypic sex and cognitive abilities.

As a test of whether sex differences in cognitive functioning are determined by chromosomal constitution or hormonal events, eight subjects whose phenotypic sex differed from their genotypic sex were given a standard intelligence test. The results indicated that differences between verbal and nonverbal abilities corresponded to phenotypic rather than genotypic sex. The roles of environmental factors, sex steroid hormones and alternate genetic mechanisms in determining intellectual dimorphisms are examined.

Persistent Müllerian duct structures in cryptorchid male infants: surgical dilemmas.

Persistent Müllerian duct structures were found in 3 male cryptorchid infants aged 10--12 mo, during correction of a unilateral inguinal hernia. Division of the vas degerens, hysterectomy and scrotal orchidopexy were carried out. The authors believe that in subjects with a persistent müllerian duct syndrome, surgical placement of the testes into the scrotum should be performed. This is, as a rule, not possible without damage to the vas deferens which runs parallel and adheres closely to the surface of the uterus.
