    1. Seventy-seven cases of tropical ulcer were studied in the General Hospital, Johore.
    2. Age was found to be an important factor in the incidence and duration of the disease.
    3. One or more debilitating factors could always be established. After removal of these factors, the ulcer in many cases tended to heal.
    4. The course of the ulcer is divided into three stages. Stage I is the spreading stage. In Stage II, a mild sloughing occurs within the original boundaries of the ulcer. This is a chronic stage. In stage III, there is either a stationary or a healing ulcer.
    5. Treatment for the first stage is mainly directed towards the general condition of the patient. In the second stage the associated debilitating factors are treated. In cases which do not respond to these measures we tried many forms of treatment. Of these, the most rational seems to be application of strong antiseptics to the sloughs themselves. We have used quinine, as recommended by Innes for this purpose, and we have obtained very satisfactory results in a small series of obstinate cases. Stage III is treated by the application of elastic adhesive bandage.

    Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic, disabling autoimmune disease which affects about 5 in 1000 people in Malaysia. Patients with RA are at increased risk of developing comorbid conditions. This research aims at determining these relationships between demographic, duration of illness and comorbidity in RA via a multiple binary logistic (MBL) regression analysis based on the 102 patients’ information (23 males; 79 females) obtained from the rheumatoid clinic of the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Kota Kinabalu. The relationship of the RA patients with comorbid conditions was studied with focus on the demographic and duration of illness. The variables obtained for analysis were the comorbid conditions namely, hypertension and hyperlipidemia, age, duration of illness, gender, ethnicity, household income and education level. From six independent variables, two were quantitative would be analyzed, while four were categorical, and would be transformed into dummy variables. Four phases in a model-building approach were executed where two models were formed where Model I predicted the probability of occurrence of hypertension with age of patients and first order interaction between duration of illness before diagnosis and household income of less than RM1000 had positive effects on the model, while Model II predicted the occurrence of hyperlipidemia among the RA patients with age of patients and first order interaction variable between gender(female) and age were the contributing factors.

    A review of 20 cases of neuroblastoma at the University Hospital, Kuala Lumpur from 1967 to 1980 reveals six infants aged 2 to 13 months with stage IV·S disease, associated with an unusually good prognosis. Four of the six patients presented with hepatomegaly, one had skin nodules and another paresis of the lower limbs. The primary tumour was located infra-diaphragmatically in all cases, four had disease in the bone marrow but none had radiological evidence of bone involvement. Although not systematic, with limited treatment of low dose radiation and mild chemotherapy, four patients are alive and well, one absconded and one died of septicaemia. It is important to define this special category as an unexpectedly good survival is possible with minimal therapy. Death is more likely to result from over-zealous treatment than from the disease itself.

    Epithelioid sarcoma (ES) of the small bowel is a rare gastrointestinal tumour. We report a case of gastrointestinal bleeding secondary to small bowel ES in a 55-year-old gentleman. After gastroscopy and colonoscopy failed to identify the source of bleeding, we proceeded with computed tomography angiogram of the mesentery, which revealed intraluminal blood clot in the distal jejunum with features of obstruction. This is a rare cause of obscure gastrointestinal bleeding and emphasises the need for additional evaluation in the presence of negative endoscopic findings.

    Accessory muscles are relatively rare anatomic duplications of muscles that may appear anywhere in the muscular system. Though a wide array of accessory and supernumery muscles involving the ankle have been described in the literature, this is the first reported case we are aware of that features two accessory muscles. Accessory muscles are typically asymptomatic and often picked up as incidental findings but are important to be identified in the presence of chronic persistent ankle pain and the absence of other more common aetiologies.

    Vital statistics in Malaya are of limited value but annual reports show that the infant mortality in Penang Municipality is 125, in Singapore Municipality 172.2, in the Straits Settlements 165.28, and in the State of Kedah 137 per thousand births. The tables show a similarity to those of large English towns fifty years ago.
    Poverty, ignorance and superstition account for many of these deaths and much maternal ill-health. Children are seldom taken out in infancy and houses are frequently dark, stuffy and closely-shuttered. Solid carbohydrate food is given to infants even during the first month. Congenital Syphilis causes a number of deaths and in an investigation in Singapore of mothers whose infants died in the first year of life 30.9 per cent. were Wassermann-positive.
    Increasing use is made of maternity wards in the Hospitals and in Kuala Lumpur there is a Chinese maternity hospital with a Chinese woman doctor on the staff. The infant death-rate among Malays is much higher than that of other races, who are more willing to make use of the hospitals.
    In the rural areas labour commonly takes place under the most primitive conditions with no help except that of an untrained handy-woman (bidan). A better midwifery service for these areas is gradually being developed and Malay women are being trained to replace the old "bidan" in the villages.
    Education is doing something to inculcate modern views on the bringing up of children. The teaching of personal hygiene to teachers and pupils in the vernacular girls' schools is proving of value, and the Girl Guide movement has given an added interest to this.
    Medical inspection of school children is more complete in the towns than in the rural areas. Dental caries, skin conditions, intestinal worms, and enlarged tonsils are common in the junior schools.
    Tables are given of vital statistics and records of school medical inspection from the reports of the health officers of the Straits Settlements, Singapore, and Kedah. W. H. Peacock.
