The Writings of Theobald Wolfe Tone 1763–98, Vol. 1: Tone's Career in Ireland to June 1795
Secular pattern of congenital oesophageal atresia. 1959
Department of Social Medicine, University of Birmingham, and the Department of Child Health, University of Durham, at King's College, Newcastle upon Tyne. There is a common superstition among hospital staffs that rare diseases tend to come in groups. One possible explanation for this belief may be found in the character of the frequency distribution of lengths of intervals between suc cessive events occurring at random. In contrast with the distr…

The Great American Novel
I HAVE DISCUSSED THE HISTORY OF THE GREAT AMERICAN NOVEL MIRAGE from its earliest mention to the present,' focusing on various critical and theoretical problems which involved literary nationalism, the opposition between universalist and localist, European and American, nationalist and regionalist emphases.2 Since my previous treatment of the subject was discursively centered in the 19th century, I wish now to address myself to the problkm of why…

Epidemiology of Childhood Leukaemia in Northumberland and Durham
The cases of leukaemia accepted for analysis were those (a) with onset before the 15th birthday, (b) which occurred within the geographical limits of Northumberland, Durham, and that strip of the North Riding of Yorkshire between the Cleveland Hills and the River Tees, (c) with onset between January 1, 1951, and December 31, 1960, a total of 10 years
Glaucus in ‘Hugh Selwyn Mauberley’
Detection of Low Intensity Epidemicity
The Encyclopaedia Americana defines an epi demic as a sudden excessive prevalence of a disease in a population. This is a typical definition, and although suddenness is not always considered an essential feature of an epidemic, most would agree that it refers to disease, and that it denotes an in creased prevalence. But there are two serious difficul ties in this concept which limit its usefulness and unless they are recognized they may prove a s…

The Mechanism of Rhesus Iso‐immunization
The American Novel in Germany
Location of the Adventitious Factors in Haemolytic Disease of the Newborn
It is by now well established that the frequencies of ABO mating types among parents of children with Rh haemolytic disease of the newborn are not the same as in the general population. There is a reduced frequency of matings in which the mother has antibodies to ABO-antigens possessed by her husband. It is possible that incompatible foetal blood escaping into the mother's circulation is so rapidly destroyed that its ability either to sensitize o…

Post-Neonatal Infant Mortality in Birmingham between 1947 and 1956
The three main groups of deaths in early life- stillbirths, deaths in the first month, and deaths in the second to twelfth months-have characteristic distributions with respect to birth rank and maternal age. The risk of post-neonatal death is greatest for children of higher birth ranks and this has been especially evident among the later children of young mothers (Elderton, 1928; Gibson and McKeown, 1952; Baird, Thomson, and Duncan, 1953; Heady,…
An Estimate from Pedigree Data of the Gene Frequency for Colour Blindness
There are several possible approaches to the measurement of the population gene-frequency for colour blindness, and each approach has its particu lar advantages and disadvantages. The first is the direct approach of a population survey and especially, since the disease is commoner in males, a measurement of its incidence in men. In the event of full penetrance and ascertainment of the XY genotype, the mathematical treatment is com mendably simple…
On the Nature of Determinants of Congenital Pyloric Stenosis
The Nature of the Determinants of Rhesus Isoimmunization
The circumstance necessary for the development of haemolytic disease of the newborn, the marriage of an Rh(D)-positive man to an Rh(D)-negative woman, is found in about 14 per cent, of all marriages, but only a small proportion of these result in an affected infant. This is because only about one woman of every twenty at risk develops immunity to her Rh-positive infants, for once immunity has developed all subsequent Rh-positive babies will be af…
