Proximity as a mediating influence on the perceived aging parent-adult child relationship.
This research examines whether proximity has a mediating influence on the quality of the relationship between aging parents and adult children. Results of LOGIST regressions indicate no difference in quality of relationships between groups of parents whose children live near them and whose children live more than 60 miles away. Significant predictors of the relationships for the proximate group were personal sense of control and education, and for the distant group, sex of the child, and number of living children. Our findings support the contention that the modified extended family can maintain psychological closeness regardless of physical distance.

Autoparathyroidectomy: a case report.
This report describes a patient with primary hyperparathyroidism who became spontaneously normocalcaemic preoperatively. This was due to infarction in a parathyroid adenoma. Plasma parathormone (PTH) levels were monitored pre- and postoperatively.

Combined force injury of the elbow joint--the mechanism clarified.
An unusual elbow injury occurring as a result of a poorly executed breakfall in judo is recorded. The treatment, possible mechanism and outcome are described. The poor prognosis of severe lesions is emphasised with reference to current literature.

Prevention of karate injuries--a progress report.
Methods of preventing karate injuries are discussed. These fall into three groups:--1. Prevention by control. 2. Prevention by using protective clothing. 3. Pre-fight medical examination. The results of the above methods in reducing the incidence of injury in karate competitions are described. After a follow up one year (1102 fights) it is concluded that the incidence and severity of karate injuries has been reduced significantly thus making the sport safer.

Observations on the source of embryonic myocardioblasts.
The light and electron microscopic appearance of mesenchymal and myoblastic tissue in the embryonic heart is described. The similarity in the morphological appearance of all mesenchymal cells is pointed out, whether they occur in atrioventricular cushion tissue, the ridge tissue of the bulbus, cordis, sub-epicardial tissue or in mesenchyme elsewhere in the embryo. Cells intermediate in their ultrastructure between mesenchymal cells and myoblasts are found. The significance of such cells is discussed and the suggestion made that their appearance is consistent with their representing stages in the differentiation of mesenchymal cells into myoblasts.
