Selecting the optimum method of contraception for each patient.

The factors relating to the choice of the optimal method of contraception are discussed, indicating the wide range of variables which must be evaluated. Religious, cultural, educational and social factors are considered, as well as age and family size. Facts elicited through discussion of general medical, family, obstetric and menstrual histories help to indicate the advantages and disadvantages of available methods. The influences of the doctor, relatives, friends, and publicity are shown to affect the patient's choice and indicate that the theoretical effectiveness of a particular method forms only one part of a complex situation.

The first example of a Raddon-like antibody as a cause of a transfusion reaction.

A serum Raddon defining a low-frequency red blood cell antigen FR, and its association with the Miltenberger complex of antigens, were reported in 1977. An antibody of the same serological specificity was the cause of a transfusion reaction. The patient's reaction and serological response, as well as the frequency of Raddon and its inheritance, are described.
