Inhibition of iron absorption from human milk by baby food

We measured the effect of a common baby food, strained pears, on the absorption of iron from human milk. Five adult subjects were initially fed 1 dL of human milk that contained added ferrous citrate Fe 59; the same subjects were later fed human milk and one jar of baby food. Incorporation of 59Fe into RBCs averaged approximately one quarter of the administered iron from the human milk. When the milk was combined with the baby food, incorporation was significantly decreased. The addition of a supplemental food to the diet of the breast-fed infant impairs the bioavailability of the iron from human milk.     

A statistical note on the association of colorectal cancer and lymphoma

The degradation and excretion of 2-14C-uric acid were examined in three adult woolly monkeys (Lagothrix lagothrichia) to determine the basis for the relatively high serum and urinary uric acid concentrations previously reported in this species. Like man and the great apes which lack uricase, but in distinction to most other mammals, these animals converted very little urate to allantoin. Uric acid turnover, as has been reported for other New World monkeys, was several times that of normal man. Renal urate excretion as well as disposition by extrarenal mechanisms may protect Lagothrix vrom hyperuricemia. The capacity to convert urate to allantoin appears to have been lost late in the evolution of New World monkeys. The woolly monkey deserves further study as a primate model for investigations of enzyme replacement strategies.     

Multifocal Best's vitelliform dystrophy

Three members of a family had multifocal, macular and extramacular--Best's vitelliform dystrophy. The lesion in one patient was observed over a ten-year period. A striking symmetry of locale and evolution of these lesions is noted between the eyes of a patient as well as among the three members of the family. The pseudohypopyon of the vitelliform cyst and the vitelliform deposits showed fluorescence before fluorescein injection. A hypofluorescent halo surrounded most lesions.
