No full textTitle from label on back of photograph.; Part of collection: Views of Sydney Harbour and New South Wales.; Condition: Fair, some fading and discolouration, some foxing on mount.; NL No. 28233--Information on compactus card. "Views of New South Wales. No. 47. Sheep washing on the Edwards River. The present illustration, besides being a pituresque scene, gives an idea how flocks of sheep are washed in Australia when rivers are available for the purpose. The sheep are run along the temporary bridge and plunged into the river, from whence they swim to the banks. Anglo-Australasian Photo Company, Melbourne and Sydney, N.J. Claire, photo.

Heritability and Linkage Analysis of Appendicitis Utilizing Age at Onset
No full textAppendicitis usually afflicts the young, but there is a large tail in the distribution of onset age. The genetics of this disease are still not well understood. A heritability analysis and genome wide linkage analysis of a large twin dataset was undertaken. Treating age of onset of appendicitis as a censored survival trait revealed a heritability of 0.21, and found evidence of linkage to Chromosome 1p37.3.

Failure of multitube sperm swim-up for sex preselection
No full textOBJECTIVE: To use double-label fluorescence in situ hybridization to evaluate a modified swim-up procedure that is purported to be effective for preconceptual sex selection. DESIGN: Controlled, blinded study. SETTING: University hospital laboratories. PATIENT(S): Donor males reporting for routine semen analysis. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE(S): Percentages of X- and Y-bearing spermatozoa in neat semen and in two swim-up fractions, determined using double-label fluorescence in situ hybridization. RESULT(S): No clinically significant change from a 1:1 ratio was found in the distribution of X- or Y-bearing spermatozoa after double-label fluorescence in situ hybridization following a modified swim-up procedure and irrespective of the time (15, 30, 45, and 60 minutes) allowed for swim-up. CONCLUSION(S): Using fluorescence in situ hybridization, a modified swim-up procedure was evaluated for its purported ability to skew the relative percentages of X- and Y-bearing spermatozoa. No clinically significant change in the ratio of X- to Y-bearing spermatozoa was detected independent of time. Therefore, clinical application of this procedure should be strongly discouraged.Christopher J. De Jonge, Sean P. Flaherty, Annette M. Barnes, Nicholas J. Swann and Colin D. Matthew
