Fifty-one elective high risk transplantations were matched according to HLA/DR antigens and RFLP-subtypes. The 18 months survival of the grafts are 93% in the matched group compared to 50% in a non-matched compatible historical control group.
A retrospective investigation of aphakic retinal detachments following intracapsular cataract extraction during a 12-year period was performed. A total of 8350 eyes had intracapsular cataract extraction in the study period and 118 eyes developed aphakic retinal detachment. The occurrence of retinal detachment is related to age, sex, intraoperative complications, myopia, hyperopia, and pseudophakia. Age and myopia were significantly associated with aphakic retinal detachment. Previous aphakic retinal detachment in the one eye was a strong predictor for the other eye.

The paper describes a personal computer (PC) program PEDIPLOT for drawing genetic pedigrees. It is easy to use because the input file is created from index cards by a special program PEDI-BASE. The place in the pedigree is calculated from the parents id, which means the order of the persons in indifferent. It is possible to draw rectangular as well as circular pedigrees.
A paracentric inversion in the short arm of chromosome 5 [inv(5p)] was segregating through at least four generations in three large danish families. All inversion carriers were phenotypically normal, and no adverse effects on reproduction were observed.
