Title: Notes on the Rhesus factor Abstract: It had long been suspected that a number of transfusion reactions was due to some specific difference in blood other than the ABO system, for in spite of careful laboratory technique, reactions continued to occur in some cases. Another distinct clinical condition which baffled clinicians was that which affected the infant of parents both of whom were healthy and showed no sign of disease.

Title: Hernia Abstract: Hernia appears to be very frequent amongst our population. Whether it is more frequent than it is in other countries I am unable to say, and I do not think that the congenital factors which cause hernia occur more often here. The only factors I can think of, which perhaps are more often met with amongst us, are the habit of many of the labouring classes to wear a sash or "terha" round their waist, and the tendency to adiposity.

Title: Practical aspects of clinical bacteriology Abstract: The laboratory is most often called upon to help in the diagnosis of one of the commonest clinical conditions - a pyrexia of unknown origin. In Malta this may be due to various causes but amongst the most frequent are undulant fever and typhoid fever, the former being markedly commoner.
