A prospective clinical study into acute upper gastro-intestinal bleeding has been done and the first 60 consecutive cases analysed. It was found that contrary to the prevailing clinical impression but in agreement with published work, the commonest associated aetiological factor was chronic duodenal ulcer (33 of 60 cases). Next came acute drug or alcohol induced gastric erosions, with oesophageal varices a poor third. The unreliability of clinical impressions is confirmed.

The generally held belief that education is instrumental in creating the conditions for sustained progress goes back to the Enlightenment and still has a powerful influence on national and international policy-making bodies today. The rapid scientific and technological developments in industrial societies since the Second World War have had deep implications for sustained growth and modernisation. Simultaneously, the emergence of the so-called 'underdeveloped' or 'developing' new nations in...

To find out more about the health handicap caused by schistosomiasis the most meaningful approach lies in comparing populations with and without the infection. Several studies on appropriately matched groups of South African Black children have failed to reveal clear-cut disadvantages in the infected. Limited studies on White children have shown impairment in the infected. Among Black adults, the very few studies made have shown reduction of working capacity to be slight. Obviously, further...

Since the passage in 1969 of congressional legislation intended to regulate the activities of tax free philanthropic foundations, a spate of works dealing with the role of foundations in American life has been published (Cuninggim, 1972; Heimann, 1973; Nielsen, 1972; Peterson, 1972). Most of these works have dealt in a general way with the responsibilities of philanthropic organizations in a period of rapid change. Several were commissioned by the larger foundations themselves, perhaps to...

African library schools affirm reasons put forward for the teaching of management. The management syllabuses in these schools cover most of the topics expected to be treated in such courses. The teachers possess most of the requisite qunlifications for their job; but some necessary teaching aids are not available. While lecturing is the prevailing teaching method, a few other methods are being tried out. The situation in Africa is found to be similar to those in Britain and the United...

Noteworthy factors in geriatric care, derived from experience in a geriatric clinic, are that symptoms are often wrongly attributed to the ageing process; the aged are often overtreated and subjected to unnecessary diagnostic procedures; and functional abilities of the elderly and social factors are important in planning comprehensive care for the aged. To render total care the services of a visiting sister attached to the clinic are an absolute necessity. The elderly are often prematurely...

Groups of formally educated and of uneducated rural Kpelle tribesmen and children of Liberia, West Africa were given rule learning and attribute identification problems. On a wide variety of measures, rule learning proved easier than attribute identification for a conjunctive rule but not for a disjunctive rule. Education proved to have no significant effect on rule learning for either a conjunctive or a disjunctive rule. The influence of formal education was restricted to the superior...

A decreased response rate in delayed hypersensitivity reactions was found in a population heavily infected with Schistosoma haematobium. Laboratory studies showed a depressed response of lymphocytes to PHA in infected subjects. Together these findings suggest the presence of a defect in cell-mediated immunity in some infected subjects. IgG and IgM levels were increased and the prevalence of rheumatoid factor was greater in the infected population. The possibility of non-specific changes in...
