There is a strong negative correlation between increasing life expectancy and decreasing lifespan variation, a measure of inequality. Previous research suggests that countries achieving a high level of life expectancy later in time generally do so with lower lifespan variation than forerunner countries. This may be because they are able to capitalise on lessons already learnt. However, a few co...

We present the clinical details and HLA typing of 15 Celtic Caucasian patients (four male, 11 female) with Behçet's syndrome (International Study Group criteria). The males affected were younger than the affected females, and three of these males had severe uveal involvement. Two of the 15 patients had the A2 Bw6 Dr4 haplotype but this did not confer family penetrance. Eight had gastrointestina...
