The relationships between the occurrence of anencephalus and spina bifida, sibship size and birth rank were examined, using linked records for births in British Columbia. Comparison of 414 sibships in which at least one infant had a neural tube defect with 1362 randomly chosen unaffected sibships showed that the affected sibships were larger. There were both more births than expected after the ...

Neurological disorders associated with spina bifida are usually either present at birth or arise in early life. There are two main types. First, lesions of the cauda equina; secondly, lesions at the foramen magnum. Occasionally, symptoms do not make their appearance until adult life and then the developmental nature of the disorder may not be recognized. We propose to give an account of two pat...

Paliurus spina-christi Mill. (Rhamnaceae), also known as Christ's thorn, is a perennial thorny shrub of widespread distribution in dry and rocky places in the Mediterranean region and Asia. In Croatia, this plant grows along the Adriatic coast and on the islands (Polunin and Huxley, 1981). Christ's thorn is used as a diuretic, against diarrhoea and rheumatism in traditional Croatian herbal medi...

The reports of the Registrar General for Scotland provide information not available elsewhere on-the causes of stillbirth as well as detailed reports on neonatal deaths. Data on the common causes of stillbirth have been available since 1939, by month of birth, maternal age, maternal parity, and legitimacy, and since 1950 by social class of father and place of birth also. The present communicati...

Periconceptional folate supplementation reduces the risk of neural-tube defects. We studied the frequency of the 677C-->T mutation in the 5,10-methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) gene in 55 patients with spina bifida and parents of such patients (70 mothers, 60 fathers). 5% of 207 controls were homozygous for the 677C-->T mutation compared with 16% of mothers, 10% of fathers, and 13% of...

The necropsy reports of 294 cases of anencephaly and 50 cases of iniencephaly have been examined, and a tubulated list of associated malformations produced. Cases were divided by sex and the presence or absence of spina bifida. Forty-one per cent of the series had other malformations, and other malformations were more common in those cases with spina bifida than in those without. The most frequ...

INTRODUCTION Assuming that spina bifida (SB) is a genetically controlled disease, the aim of our study was to evaluate the degree of genetic homozygosity and the distribution of AB0 blood types among patients with SB occulta and SB aperta by the homozygously recessive characteristics (HRC) test. MATERIAL AND METHODS Our study included an analysis of the presence, distribution and individual c...
