The functional and social significance of orthopedic rehabilitation of mentally retarded patients with cerebral palsy.

The 14 outpatients transferred for surgery on the hips and legs also made significant gains, primarily in hygiene and sitting tolerance. Unfortunately, they required two to four times the period of hospitalization of similarly involved nonretarded children. This is an important consideration in the outpatient group, perhaps less so in the previously institutionalized child. In the entire group of patients, including those followed for less than five years, we have had three deaths. Two were due to pneumonia, two months and four months after the hip procedure. One was due to osteosarcoma of the operated femur four years postoperatively.

[Prognostic importance of diagnostic functional and social parameters for occupational rehabilitation of heart patients. Results of studies and practical applications for rehabilitation counseling].

Vocational and social reintegration is one of the main targets of cardiac rehabilitation programs. As prognosis bases on objective pathophysiological data and psychosocial data, those data have to be used in the practice of cardiologists and rehabilitation workers. The relevant diagnostic parameters are demonstrated in this publication.

Allelic disequilibrium and allele frequency distribution as a function of social and demographic history.

Allelic disequilibrium between closely linked genes is a common observation in human populations and often gives rise to speculation concerning the role of selective forces. In a previous treatment, we have developed a population model of the expected distribution of rare variants (including private polymorphisms) in Amerindians and have argued that, because of the great expansion of Amerindian numbers with the advent of agriculture, most of these rare variants are of relatively recent origin. Many other populations have similar histories of striking recent expansions. In this treatment, we demonstrate that, in consequence of this fact, a high degree of linkage disequilibrium between two nonhomologous alleles <0.5 cM apart is the "normal" expectation, even in the absence of selection. This expectation is enhanced by the previous subdivision of human populations into relatively isolated tribes characterized by a high level of endogamy and inbreeding. We also demonstrate that the alleles associated with a recessive disease phenotype are expected to exist in a population in very variable frequencies: there is no need to postulate positive selection with respect to the more common disease-associated alleles for such entities as phenylketonuria or cystic fibrosis.
