Pattern of mandibular fractures in Chennai, India.
We describe the pattern of mandibular fractures in Chennai, and confirm that, as in most other large cities, the main cause is road traffic accidents.

Chromosome segment duplications in Neurospora crassa and their effects on repeat-induced point mutation and meiotic silencing by unpaired DNA.
The size and extent of four Neurospora crassa duplications, Dp(AR17), Dp(IBj5), Dp(OY329), and Dp(B362i), was determined by testing the coverage of RFLP markers. The first three duplications were all > approximately 350 kb and have been shown in earlier studies to act as dominant suppressors of repeat-induced point mutation (RIP) in gene-sized duplications, possibly via titration of the RIP machinery. Dp(B362i), which is only approximately 117 kb long, failed to suppress RIP. RIP suppression in gene-sized duplications by large duplications was demonstrated using another test gene, dow, and supposedly applies generally. Crosses homozygous for Dp(AR17) or Dp(IBj5) were as barren as heterozygous crosses. Barrenness of the heterozygous but not the homozygous crosses was suppressible by Sad-1, a semidominant suppressor of RNAi-dependent meiotic silencing by unpaired DNA. A model is proposed in which large duplications recessively suppress semidominant Sad-1 mutations. The wild-isolated Sugartown strain is hypothesized to contain a duplication that confers not only dominant suppression of RIP but also a barren phenotype, which is linked (9%) to supercontig 7.118 in LG VII.

Diffuse hepatic hemangiomatosis: case report.
Hemangiomas of the liver are often incidental findings on routine abdominal ultrasonography. Majority are single and asymptomatic. We report a patient with diffuse hemangiomatosis of the liver who presented with thrombocytopenia and congestive cardiac failure.
