Abstract
The association between red hair color (RHC) melanocortin 1 receptor genotype, past environmental sun exposure, and risk of multiple sclerosis (MS) was investigated in a population-based case-control study in Tasmania, Australia, involving 136 cases with MS and 272 controls.

Risk factors, comorbidities, and radiographic findings in 59 neonates presenting with sinovenous thrombosis are reported from Indiana University School of Medicine, Indianapolis, IN
Presentation was significantly associated with respiratory distress, hypoxia, hypotonia, preterm delivery, and low Apgar score; maternal preeclampsia/hypertension showed a trend toward early association
Summary
The association between red hair color (RHC) melanocortin 1 receptor genotype, past environmental sun exposure, and risk of multiple sclerosis (MS) was investigated in a population-based case-control study in Tasmania, Australia, involving 136 cases with MS and 272 controls. Risk factors, comorbidities, and radiographic findings in 59 neonates presenting with sinovenous thrombosis are reported from Indiana University School of Medicine, Indianapolis, IN. Thirty-nine (66%) patients presented early, within 48 hours after birth, and 20 (34%) presented late, between 2 and 28 days (median 7.5 days). Presenting signs were respiratory distress in 43 (73%), hypoxia (69%), seizures (59%), weight loss (58%), and hypotonia (58%).
