A.Item Acute Appendicitis in Accra(Ghana Medical Journal, 1967-09) Badoe, E.A.Item Definition of the histaminic component of the bronchoconstrictor and cardiovascular effects of anaphylatoxin in the guinea-pig(British Journal of Pharmacology, 1971) Sackeyfio, A.C.Item Pica? Or dental hygiene(Pediatrics, 1971) Nkrumah, F.K.; Neumann, H.H.I read with interest the article by H. H. Neumann which appeared in the September 1970 issue of PEDIATRICS (46:441). I wish, however, to correct what I think is a gross cultural misinterpretation. I cannot subscribe to his view that the use of "kweapea" (chewing stick) or for that matter "sawee" (chewing sponge) in West Africa has anything to do with pica or is an expression of an instinctual need for something to chew on.Item Haemoglobin K Woolwich (alpha 2, beta 2 132 lysine leads to glutamine) in Ghana.(Acta Haematologica, 1971) Ringelhann, B.; Konotey-Ahulu, F.I.; Talapatra, N.C.; Nkrumah, F.K.; Wiltshire, B.G.; Lehmann, H.A fast moving haemoglobin, K Woolwich, was found in patients admitted to Korle Bu Teaching Hospital, Accra, and in members of 2 tribes which live in different regions of Ghana and differ linguistically and ethnically. Although haemoglobin K Woolwich is the third most common abnormal haemoglobin in Ghana, it has not yet been found except in these tribes. This is possibly due to the difficulty in detecting the haemoglobin variant in the presence of haemoglobin A. It would be interesting to examine the amino-acid sequence of cases of ‘haemoglobin K’ reported from other parts of West and North Africa, in order to determine whether they are cases of haemoglobin K Woolwich. This may throw light on genetic links and migration routes of tribes in West Africa.Item Hereditary elliptocytosis associated with severe haemolytic anaemia and malaria.(Ghana Medical Journal, 1971)A case of Goldenhar's Syndrome or Oculoauriculovertebral dysplasia in a Ghanaian infant is described. Significant were the additional findings of congenital esophageal atresia and arthrogryposis which have so far not been reported in association with the syndrome.
