Still no evidence for heterogeneity in Best's vitelliform macular dystrophy.

In the November 1995 issue of the Journal, Mansergh et all suggest that there is genetic heterogeneity in the autosomal dominant eye disorder Best's vitelliform macular dystrophy (BMD) previously mapped to 1 1q13 (MIM 153700)."-' They analysed markers from chromosome 11 in two families, BTMD1 of Irish origin and Fam E of German origin. The conclusion was that the gene previously mapped to 11 qi...

Vitamin A Deficiency among Rural Primary School Children, A still Neglected Group for Vitamin A Supplementation Strategies

Background: Vitamin A deficiency (VAD) is still a public health problem across the globe and also in Burkina Faso, especially for under-five-years-old children. Since less information is available about the prevalence of VAD among the primary school children, this study aimed to study this area. Methods: A randomised double-blind placebo-controlled trial was conducted to assess the effect of hi...

Human homing: still no evidence despite geomagnetic controls.

Baker's highly influential and widely cited studies suggest that people are capable of non-visual navigational performance comparable to that of homing pigeons. Past failures to replicate this work have been attributed by Baker to geomagnetic influences. We report a series of experiments in which both temporal and spatial geomagnetic controls were introduced. We could still find no evidence for...
