    Notes: Summary The relative importance of genetic factors in the pathogenesis of age related bone loss has been investigated in a study involving 17 monozygotic (MZ) and 8 dizygotic (DZ) pairs of twins aged 64 to 75 years. Radiographic morphometry was performed at the midpoints of the 2nd, 3rd and 4th metacarpals of both hands and the mean total and cortical widths were evaluated. The heritability, h2, was calculated as the difference between the intrapair variances in same sexed DZ and MZ pairs divided by the intrapair variance in DZ pairs. The mean intrapair variance of both total and cortical width was found to be four to five times higher in DZ than in MZ pairs. The differences are highly significant with an h2 value between 0.7 and 0.8, indicating a predominant genetic influence. It is stressed that this result applies only to the population from which the twin sample was drawn.

    Notes: Summary As part of a high-intensity monitoring study of drug events as the cause of admission to departments of internal medicine, the effect of an educational intervention programme was studied. Two departments were included, one specialising in geriatrics and one that received patients by non-selected referral. The series consisted of 607 consecutive admissions studied before and 703 after the intervention. The drug events considered were adverse drug reactions and dose-related therapeutic failures, mainly due to non-compliance. A modest, statistically non-significant decrease in drug related hospital admissions (DRH) was seen, from 14% before to 13% after the intervention period. However, DRHs classified as definitely avoidable showed the significant decrease of 83%. There was no apparent relationship between the topics selected for the intervention programme and changes in the pattern of DRHs. No relationship between alterations in sales data and hospital admissions caused by a given drug could be demonstrated. A blinded external evaluation of case abstracts did not disclose any significant shift in the investigators' assessments. The intervention may have had an non-specific effect on avoidable DRHs.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung 757 Eskimokinder, die in Godthåb, Grönland, während der Jahre 1957–1964 geboren wurden, sind 1966 wieder untersucht worden. 10 sichere und 4 zweifelhafte Fälle von angeborenen Herzfehlern, insbesondere Fälle von Ventrikelseptumdefekt, wurden diagnostiziert. Die Incidenz von 1,3–1,9% ist die höchste, die in irgendeiner Bevölkerung registriert ist. Bei den Patienten war das durchschnittliche Alter der Mutter 32,1 Jahre gegen einen Durchschnitt im Gesamtmaterial von 26,8 Jahre (0,01〉 P〉0,001). Die durchschnittliche Nummer der Patienten in der Geschwisterreihe ist 6,3, während die des Gesamtmaterials 3,2 ist (0,01〉 P〉0,001). Die soziale Schicht der Patienten war insgemein sehr niedrig. Die Incidenz der angeborenen Herzfehler in der grönländischen Bevölkerung scheint abzunehmen. Dies mag eine Folge von besseren sozialen Verhältnissen sein, kann aber auch darin begründet sein, daß das reproduktive Muster der Grönländer sich geändert hat mit weniger Geburten bei älteren Müttern.
    Notes: Summary 757 eskimo children born in Godthåb, Greenland, in the years 1957–1964 have been reexamined 1966. 10 certain and 4 probable cases of congenital heart disease were diagnosed, mostly cases of ventricular septal defect. The incidence of 1.3–1.9% is the highest registered in any ethnic group. The average mother's age of the patients was 32.1 years, the average mother's age of the total material was 26.8 years (0.01〉 P〉0.001). The patients' average number in the sibship was 6.3, differing significantly (0.01〉 P〉0.001). The patients' average number in the sibship was 6.3, differing significantly (0.01〉 P〉0.001) from that of 3.2 in the total material. The social standard of the families of the patients was low. There is some indication that the incidence of cardiac malformations in the Greenlandic population is decreasing. This may be due either to improved social conditions or to a changing reproductive pattern with relatively fewer children born to old mothers.
