Menorah Review (No. 3, Spring, 1985)

Longitudinal study of Lyme borreliosis in a high risk population in Switzerland.

Orienteers from all parts of Switzerland (n = 416) were included in a longitudinal study for Lyme borreliosis. In spring 1986, the seroprevalence was 28.1%. At the beginning of the study, 84.3% of orienteers reported a history of tick bite, and 3.8% reported a past history of Lyme borreliosis. During the first (spring 1986-autumn 1986), second (autumn 1986-spring 1987) and third (spring 1987-au...

RENAL TRANSPLANTATION A BETTER QUALITY OF LIFE FOR UREMIC PATIENTS, REVIEW OF RESULTS IN 69 KIDNEY TRANSPLANTIONS

Between June, 1984 and January 20, 1987, 69 kidney transplantations were performed in our department. All kidneys were acquired from living donors. 63% of the cases were high-risk MLC-positive (poorly matched), and all but one were from related sources. There were only five rejected kidneys, all of which occurred in kidneys from parent donors. 28 recipients received donor-specific transfus...

Selective Enzymatic Amplification of a2-Globin DNA for Detection of the Hemoglobin Constant Spring Mutation

Blood, Vol 73, No 7 (May 15), 1989: pp 1987-1992 1987 Hemoglobin Constant Spring is an elongation mutation of the a2-globin locus that results in a thalassemic phenotype. It has a high prevalence in Asian populations. When inherited with other a-thalassemia determinants, the Constant Spring gene has the potential to cause severe forms of a-thalassemia. Accurate diagnosis of the condition with s...
