Lactose tolerance in normal Egyptian infants and children and in protein calorie malnutrition.
Oral lactose tolerance test was performed on a total of 100 cases of normal Egyptian infants and children aged 6 months to 12 years. The same test was performed on 30 cases of protein calorie malnutrition (15 cases of marasmus and 15 cases of kwashiorkor). Detection of sugar and determination of pH were also carried out on all stools passed after the test. Lactose intolerance, as judged by a maximal blood glucose rise of 20 mg. or less and/or stools positive for sugar with a pH less than 6 following lactose ingestion, was observed as follows in normal cases: 12% in the age group 6 months to 2 years, 32% in the age group 2 to 5 years, 32% in the age group 5 to 9 years, and 80% in the age group 9 to 12 years. On the other hand, lactose intolerance was demonstrated in 73.3% of cases suffering from protein malnutrition. The aetiology and practical implications of the present findings of lactose intolerance on normal and malnourished children are discussed.

Study of some minerals in normal Egyptian scalp hair.
Scalp hair of 128 normal individuals of both sexes and of differing ages was examined for its mineral content by flame photometric and colorimetric procedures. The results obtained revealed that sodium and potassium may be considered as sex specific and of value as a medico-legal sign, while no marked difference was observed between male and female calcium content. The values of scalp hair copper were found to be slightly higher in females than in males. Similarly the mean value of scalp hair iron was found higher in females than in males, especially during the female reproductive period. Regarding the scalp hair phosphorus content, it has been found that a relationship between phosphorus and calcium does exist.

Study of some minerals in scalp hair and blood sera of psoriatics.
Scalp hair and blood sera of two groups of psoriatic individuals were examined regarding some of their mineral contents by flame photometric and colorimetric procedures, and the findings compared with a normal control group. The result obtained revealed changes in the mineral content of scalp hair of psoriatics. A possible relationship may exist between hair and serum minerals.
