The IgM response to SRBC in a line of rats selected for high serum IgM was higher and lasted longer than that in a line of rats selected for low IgM, while the response to TNP-LPS was similar at its peak in the two lines but persisted longer in the 'high' line. The difference between the lines is therefore more likely to be at the macrophage and/or the T cell level than at the B cell level.
In order to describe the incidence, distribution, and prognosis of neonatal cancer, 76 cases (44 boys, 32 girls) of cancer in the first 28 days of life were identified in the Danish Cancer Registry within the period 1943-1985. All cases were reevaluated and the International Classification of Disease for Oncology (ICD-O) code was applied. The incidence is calculated to 2.38 (1.88-2.98) cases per 100,000 births. The most common tumor was neuroblastoma (26%) followed by leukemias (16%), soft-tissue sarcomas (14%), and brain tumors (11%). The 5-year survival rate was 25% (15.1-39.0) with the highest survival rate among soft-tissue sarcomas (55%) and neuroblastomas (25%) and the lowest among leukemias and brain tumors (0). Eighteen percent of the cases were incidental findings. Two cases of secondary malignancy were identified.

A pelvic pain is sometimes extremely difficult to define and to treat. The origin of this pain was said to be due to either neurological, psychosomatic, urological or orthopaedic factors. It was in fact an unilateral fibrosis of the perineal transverse muscle. A surgical section has definitively cured the patient.
