    (Sri Lanka Medical Association. Colombo, 1988) Jayasekara, R.
    The spectrum of chromosome anomalies detectedin a population refrred tothe human genetics unit, faculty of medicine, Colombo, using lymphocyte culture and giemsa banding technique, is reported. The availability and usefulness of chromosome analysis and its direct application in the preventive and curative aspects of medicine is stressed. Down syndrome showed a significantly high incedence, but with an unexpectedly high frequency of trisome 21 due to non-disjunction in young parent. The possibility of the existence of other genetics or environmental factors stronger than the influence of ageing gemetic cells, which might trigger off non-disjunction in young Sri Lankans, is suggested

    Recurrent parotid enlargement - a study of clinical sialographic and treatment aspects of 68 cases
    (Sri Lanka Medical Association. Colombo, 1986) Amaratunga, N.A. De S.; Amarasinghe, P.
    68 patients with recurent parotid enlargement were investigated with regard to age, sex duration of the disea, sialographic appearence and treatment methods. Duration was found to be shorter and the sialographic changes milder in children compared with adults, indicating a possible difference in the disease process. The treatment was based on the age of the patient and sialographic appearence. Salivary stimulation was employed in all children and in adults who had mild sialographic changes, and ligature of the duct was carried out in adults who had advanced sialographic changes. These two methods gave success rates 88 and 66perc. respectively, suggesting that conservative methods of treatment could be adapted for all age groups and in all stages of the disease
