    1. A good opportunity exists in Malaya for any national leprosy control. Institutional care is of the best that is available and it is felt that it has reached the saturation stage. Field work has not been established.
    2. Thus leprosy has remained more of a medical problem than health.
    3. Owing to the absence of any health education on leprosy, there exists an extensive gulf between the patient and the public thus creating problems of rehabilitation. The main rehabilitation performed by the government is on the employment of a few discharged patients in leprosy institutions. Though the objective of the Malayan Leprosy Relief Association is to rehabilitate, time is needed, and it may be years before the discharged patients can expect any benefits.
    4. The apathy of medical officers towards serving in the Leprosaria is evidenced by the fact that since the establishment of the Leprosaria, barring 2-3 local officers, all have been outsiders on contract or otherwise. The World Health Organisation has offered a fellowship for six months and there has been no applicant from the medical officers in the Federation .

    In West Malaysia RA appears to be less common than in temperate climates, but more common than in tropical Africa; furthermore, the incidence of gout and SLE is comparable. The clinical manifestations of RA are milder than those seen in more temperate climates. Subcutaneous rheumatoid nodules have not been observed. Positive serological tests for RF are significantly higher than in the general Malaysian population, but still lower than those reported for patients with RA in temperate climates. Of the three main ethnic groups, the highest incidence of positive results is found in the Chinese.

    This study show that within a general hospital outpatient setting, the prescription of psychotropic medication is mainly confined to the anti-anxiety drugs and and secondarily to the hypnotics. There is a conspicuous absence of prescription for antipsychotic drugs and negligible use of antidepressants. The use of anti-anxiety drugs and hypnotics was higher in the general outpatient clinic than in the psychiatric outpatient clinic in the same hospital. This finding is in the trend of similar findings by others that non-psychiatrists prescribe more psychotropic medication including an-anxiety and hypnotic medication. In this study the use of psychotropic medication for patient generated psychiatric symptomalogy was only in 14.5% of cases prescribed these medication. The anti-anxiety drugs were prescribed as adjuncts in non-psychiatric conditions as well. Frequent use as adjuncts were in the treatment of muscular tension and in chronic cardiovascular disorders. There is a core of patients (20%) that had been continuously prescribed medication up to a period of 5 years. Half of these were chronic cardiovascular patients and half presented with no demonstrable systemic organicity. None had been referred to psychiatrist.

    The concept of specific reading retardation was discussed, and compared with other terms used as synonymous with it viz. dyslexia and minimal brain dysfunction. It was suggested that specific reading retardation may be a more suitable term to use. The feature's of specific reading retardation, the evaluation of reading disability and management in terms of supportive psychotherapy, environmental manipulation and remedial education was described, using a case-report. of a 13-year old boy with such a disorder as an example.

    A forty-four year old wife of an alcoholic husband with irregular employment sought repeated medical care for her headache, bodyache, chest pain and alleged falls at home. The family backgrounds of the battered wife and the violent husband, his alcoholism and their financial problems all contributed to the violence in marriage. Their six children had lived in fear and two of them had behaviour problems. Awareness of the multiple problems associated with a battered wife should prompt cooperation between medical, social and other workers involved in the management.

    Two hundred and three patients with psoriasis, who attended the skin clinic were studied to identify the pattern of sporiasis. The incidence was 4%. It was more common in Indians than in the other ethnic groups and this was found to be statistically significant. Males were affected twice as common, 12.5% gave a positive family history, the lower limbs and the scalp were the commonest site, and pruritus was frequent. The pattern appears similar to those in the west.

    Thirty girls who had been detained in a remand home on suspicion of prostitution were examined in the University Hospital, Kuala Lumpur. All except two were below 21 years old. Endocervical and high vaginal swabs were taken for cultures. A sample of blood was taken for serology. Eleven of the girls [37%] had no evidence of a sexually transmitted disease. The others [63%] had one or more of the following: 5 with positive serology for syphilis, 3 had gonorrhoea, 6 with trichomonas, 2 with candidiasis.rl with Chlamydia trachomatls, 2 with Ureaplasma urealyticum and 1 with C. vaginale. With such a high incidence of STD in these young girls with a history of prostitution, it is recommended that a more regular and comprehensive screening be carried out on such high risk women.

    Screening by culture of endocervical specimens revealed four cases of gonorrhea among 744 pregnant women attending the prenatal clinic at the University Hospital in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. The observed prevalence of gonorrhea (0.54%) in pregnant women is similar to that in Great Britain (0.2-0.7%), but lower than the prevalences reported for North America (2.5-7.5%) and Thailand (11.9%). The results indicate that routine screening of pregnant women attending prenatal clinics in Malaysia would aid in the control of gonorrhea in that country.

    Patients attending a referral Skin Clinic were studied to identify the spectrum of drug eruptions and the offending drugs. There were 51 patients with an incidence of five per thousand and equal sex incidence. Though the pattern of eruption was broadly similar to other reports, unusual reactions were observed. In addition to the skin manifestation, fever and lymphadenopathy were present in most patients. Raised erythrocyte sedimentation rate and eosinopoenia were commonly observed. Clinical acumen and the list of drugs ingested are still the best clues to the diagnosis ofdrug eruption.

    Forty-two previously untreated male patients with uncomplicated gonococcal urethritis were treated with a single dose oral regimen comprising 3 gm ofamoxycillin and 125 mg of clavulanic acid. Thirty-five patients returned for follow-up and the cure rate among them was 89 percent. The cure rate for patients infected with penicillinase producing Neisseria gonorrhoeae (PPNG) was 73 percent. Further work is required to establish the optimum dosage for this particular regimen.

    The results of this study indicate that the important viral agents associated with lower respiratory tract infections in young children are respiratory syncytial virus, rhinovirus, and parainfluenza virus, particularly in those under 2 years of age. This is in close agreement with studies done in temperate climates. Influenza A virus is seasonal and plays an important role in upper respiratory tract infections in older children.

    Endoscopy gives a more accurate diagnosis of upper gastrointestinal pathology than barium studies. General practitioners should be able to request this valuable diagnostic service so that a rapid diagnosis would ensure that patients with dyspepsia are not treated empirically with expensive drugs and that patients with carcinoma or ulcer receive prompt and appropriate therapy. This paper examines the Changi Hospital's open-access endoscopy service to the local general practitioners and government outpatient doctors working at nearby outpatient dispensaries, and will serve to underline the value of such a service and why it obviates that long queue for the barium meal appointment.

    One hundred and forty-five diabetic patients attending diabetic clinic over a four week period were fully examined in an adjacent eye clinic. The fundi were examined with a Halogen light direct ophthalmoscope and the Binocular Indirect Ophthalmoscope after mydriasis to assess the presence of retinopathy. 44.1 percent of patients examined had Opbthalmoscopicaliy detectable retinopathy while 11 percent were found to have 'serious diabetic eye disease'. The prevalence of diabetic retinopathy in Malaysia is comparable to those of Western countries and Japan.
