Abstract
Forty women who had had incestuous relationships with their fathers during childhood were compared with 20 women whose fathers had been seductive but not overtly incestuous. More of the women who had experienced overt incest reported that their fathers had been violent and that their mothers had been chronically ill, disabled, or battered. Untreated depression, alcoholism, or psychosis or repeated involuntary childbearing were most commonly cited as causes of impaired maternal functioning. Women who had experienced overt incest had a higher rate of running away, suicide attempts, and pregnancy during adolescence than the comparison group. The authors suggest that clinicians be alert to the possibility of incest in families which contain a violent father, a disabled mother, or an "acting-out" adolescent girl.

Abstract
A case of thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura with an unusual subacute course is described. Treatment was initiated after the patient had been ill for four weeks. Low-dose plasma exchange (10 ml/kg body weight per day) was associated with a sharp drop in the reticulocyte count and a transient reduction of lactate dehydrogenase activity to within the normal range. The administration of corticosteroids was followed immediately by the disappearance of neurological symptoms, and after high-dose plasma exchange (25 ml/kg body weight per day) all the symptoms of disease remitted. The remission has lasted for 10 months; we suggest that each of the therapeutic measures employed played a role.

Abstract
A nine-year-old black girl with essential thrombocythemia developed hemoptysis. Only two other cases in the English literature have been described. Ultrastructure and functional characteristics of this patient's platelets were studied. Twenty-six percent of the patient's platelets were very large (megathrombocytes). Spontaneous aggregated from the patient's platelets were not compact, and the pseudopods did not interdigitate. Both qualitative and quantitative defects in platelet organelles were detected. The microtubular system was faulty in organization. Furthermore, the number of granules (especially alpha granules) was reduced. Platelet aggregation studies demonstrated subnormal aggregation in response to ADP, epinephrine, and collagen, but aggregation with ristocetin was normal. It is postulated that a platelet membrane abnormality may be the cause of their defective platelet aggregation.

Abstract
In a young woman who presented with hyperthyroidism and autoimmune thrombocytopenic purpura, the platelet count returned to normal following successful treatment of the hyperthyroidism. Thromboagglutinins were present, the titer declining as the patient became euthyroid. A survey of the literature revealed 48 reports of hyperthyroidism and thrombocytopenia, these disorders coexisting in 37 patients and there being no apparent cause for the lowered platelet counts in 28 of them. The clinical features and response to treatment in the latter group and in our patient are reviewed, comprising a series of 29. Of 22 patients whose hyperthyroidism was adequately treated, platelet counts returned to normal in 18 (82%). In three patients the purpura remitted despite persistent thrombocytopenia. It is estimated that in 7% of patients with autoimmune thrombocytopenic purpura, thrombocytopenia responds to treatment of an underlying thyrotoxicosis and in many of these patients the thrombocytopenia will prove resistant to other forms of therapy.

Abstract
A 16-year-old boy with a two-year history of recurrent attacks of myalgia, muscle cramps without weakness, and myoglobinuria was shown to have a deficiency in muscle carnitine palmityltransferase. Serum concentrations of creatinine phosphokinase, serum glutamic oxalacetic transaminase, and aldolase were elevated. An electromyogram was consistent with a nonspecific myopathy as were microscopic and ultrastructural examinations of biopsied muscle. Venous lactic acid response to ischemic exercise was compatible with paroxysmal idiopathic myoglobinuria. Activities of muscle phosphorylase A and B, phosphofructokinase, muscle palmityl CoA synthetase, carnitine, and serum carnitine were normal as was the glycogen content. Activity of muscle carnitine palmityltransferase (2.7 microM/minute/mg protein), as measured by a spectrophotometric method and by radioactive assay, was significantly reduced when compared to normal control subjects (14.5 microM/minute/mg protein) and ischemic control subjects (13.8 microM/minute/mg protein). Muscle carnitine acetyltransferase (13.4 microM/minute/mg protein) was approximately 50% of normal control values (25.5 microM/minute/mg protein). This is the third reported case of myoglobinuria in a patient associated with a deficiency of muscle carnitine palmityltransferase activity.

Abstract
The records of 129 patients with glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency from two general practices were reviewed for overt hemolysis. There were 25 such cases: 14 were diagnosed as favism; 10 were associated with various combinations of drugs, or with fever, infection, acidosis or the neonatal state; and one was of undetermined cause. Over the years 1952-72, these patients had been challenged on 756 occasions with potentially hemolytic drugs. The low incidence of overt hemolysis after antipyretic preparation is noted, as is the danger of nitrofurantoin. The clinical setting was an important determinant of whether hemolysis would occur after drug administration. Fever seemed to be a particularly significant factor. Quantitative determinations of enzyme activity in 18 patients confirmed the reliability of the screening method used. There was no correlation between the enzyme levels and the occurrence of overt hemolysis.

Abstract
Polygraphic recording is presented of the sleep pattern in a young male who developed nystagmus and oscillopsia associated with a remittent CNS demyelinating disease. The vestibular nystagmus observed during wakefulness disappeared during all stages of sleep, including rapid eye movement sleep (REM). Since vestibular nystagmus experimentally induced in wakefulness is also absent during all phases of sleep, these findings suggest that during sleep similar suppressive mechanisms are operative.
