Radiographic abnormalities and duration of employment in Western Australian iron-ore miners.
, Med J Aust, Vol: 148, Pages: 332-334, ISSN: 0025-729XPlain chest radiographs of 788 Pilbara iron-ore miners from Western Australia have been examined by two independent observers for evidence of pneumoconiosis. The prevalence of any radiographic abnormality (a profusion grade of 0/1 or greater on the International Labour Office [ILO] scale) was 6.7% for Reader 1 and 9.9% for Reader 2. The prevalence of a definite radiographic abnormality (a profusion grade of 1/0 or greater on the ILO scale) was 1.9% for Reader 1 and 2.8% for Reader 2. The prevalence of any abnormality, as identified by either or by both observers, was significantly related to age. The relationship between a radiographic abnormality and the duration of employment was less clear. The results indicate a need for more detailed and comprehensive studies of the effects of iron-ore dust in this industry.

Dominant inheritance of atopic immunoglobulin-E responsiveness.
, Lancet, Vol: 1, Pages: 86-88, ISSN: 0140-6736The familial occurrence of atopy, defined by skin prick test responses and serum immunoglobulin-E (IgE) titres to common inhaled allergens, was studied in 239 members of 40 nuclear and 3 extended families. 90% of the atopic children in the nuclear families had at least one demonstrably atopic parent. In each extended family, atopy was vertically transmitted, and 31 of 47 (66%) offspring of marriages between atopic and unaffected parents were atopic. Of the designated atopic subjects, 83% admitted to symptoms suggesting atopic disease but only 30% regarded themselves as having any such disorder. It is suggested that atopy, the propensity to produce IgE in response to common, usually inhaled, allergens, is inherited as an autosomal dominant character but that its clinical expression depends on interaction with other factors.

Dysgerminoma, gonadoblastoma, and testicular germ cell neoplasia in phenotypically female and male siblings with 46 XY genotype.
, Cancer, Vol: 59, Pages: 288-291, ISSN: 0008-543X46 XY gonadal dysgenesis is a syndrome characterized by a female phenotype with streak gonads and complicated by the frequent occurrence of germ cell tumors. The syndrome and the risk of malignant disease occur in female siblings sharing the XY genotype, and screening of female siblings and prophylactic gonadectomy in those affected is generally recommended. A family of four siblings is described in which two phenotypically female XY children and one male each have developed germ cell tumors, demonstrating that brothers of affected sisters may also be at risk.
