Analyzing perceived limiting long-term illness using U.K. Census Microdata.

The 1991 Census of England, Wales and Scotland is an improvement on previous censuses in providing fine-grained detail on the geography of limiting long-term illness. Another innovation of the 1991 Census is the release of a Sample of Anonymized Records (SARs). These provide a considerable sample of detailed data on individuals at the sub-regional level. This paper explores individual and geographical variations in morbidity through a multilevel analysis of the SARs. Geographical differences in morbidity are found even after allowing for age, sex, ethnicity, housing tenure, social class and car ownership.

Periosteal new bone formation and disseminated granulomatosis in a patient with Crohn's disease.

In a 20-year-old man, a proliferative periosteal new bone growth developed over the left forearm. Crohn's disease had been diagnosed the year before. Bone biopsy demonstrated granuloma formation. Biopsy specimens of skin lesions demonstrated granulomas as well. Bowel studies indicated active small intestinal inflammation with fistula formation. Despite the superficial resemblance to hypertrophic osteoarthropathy, it is believed that this case represents Crohn's disease with disseminated granulomatosis involving skin and periosteum.
