The researches of Cohen, Boyd, Goldwasser, Cathcart, and Heisler (1963) on a small number of patients with chronic joint disease of different clinical types showed that there was no association between the ABO blood groups and the chronic rheumatic diseases, but that there was a deficiency of Rh factor. Kornstad, Kornstad, and Guldberg (1965), examining 217 patients with rheumatoid arthritis, f...

We aimed to determine the distribution of the ABO and Rh blood groups in 832 patients with a tendon rupture. Among these, the frequency of blood group O (52.8%) was significantly higher than in the general population of Hungary (31.1%) and the frequency of group A was significantly lower. Of the 83 cases of multiple ruptures or re-rupture, 57 patients (68.7%) had group O blood. The dominance of...

BACKGROUND Malignant mesothelioma (MM) is an aggressive tumor of mesothelial surfaces.
