Five cases have been presented with evidence of disordered glycogen metabolism. Two cases of glycogen storage disease of the liver are included which were confirmed by biopsy, together with clinical and laboratory evidence. Treatment of one of the cases with adrenocorticotropic hormone resulted in a disappearance of hypoglycemia and acetonuria during the period of therapy. Two cases of glycogen storage disease of the heart are reported together with clinical histories and necropsy reports. An ECG which was recorded on one of the patients is included. A case of galactosemia is reported together with extensive laboratory evidence of marked galactose intolerance. The criteria for the diagnosis of these entities are reviewed and the symptomatology, physical findings, treatment, prognosis and pathologic manifestations are discussed.

The Masses

Ectopic or supernumerary parathyroid tissue has been generally described in the literature in cases found during workup for parathyroid adenoma. We present two unique cases of intratracheal parathyroid gland, a rare occurrence that has not yet been described in the literature. In both cases, the masses were found incidentally and showed no clinical or laboratory evidence of hyperparathyroidism. In both cases, surveillance was chosen as the method of treatment. We present this case series to increase awareness of this potential diagnosis.

Dengue Epidemics

Dengue viruses (DEN) are found as four antigenically distinct serotypes designated DEN-1, 2, 3, and 4. Laboratory evidence that strain-intratypical variation occurs among DEN viruses has been demonstrated since the 1970s, although only with the advances in molecular technologies has it been possible to determine the genetic variability of each serotype. Genotypical identification has proven to be a useful tool for determining the origin and spread of epidemics and to correlate virulence of strains. In this report we present the results of molecular epidemiological studies with the DEN-1 and DEN-2 viruses that caused dengue epidemics in Brazil during the last decade.

Over Time

Evidence suggests that people understand qualitatively how tastes change over time, but underestimate the magnitudes. This evidence is limited, however, to laboratory evidence or surveys of reported happiness. We test for such projection bias in field data. Using data on catalog orders of cold-weather items, we find evidence of projection bias over the weather—specifically, people's decisions are overinfluenced by the current weather. Our estimates suggest that if the order-date temperature declines by 30°F, the return probability increases by 3.95 percent. We also estimate a structural model to measure the magnitude of the bias.

The Impact

Cognitive damage from iodine deficiency disorders (IDD) has important implications for economic growth through its effect on human capital. To gauge the magnitude of this influence, we evaluate the impact on schooling of reductions in IDD from intensive iodine supplementation in Tanzania. Our findings suggest a large effect of in utero iodine on cognition and human capital: treated children attain an estimated 0.35–0.56 years of additional schooling relative to siblings and older and younger peers. Furthermore, the effect appears to be substantially larger for girls, consistent with laboratory evidence indicating greater cognitive sensitivity of female fetuses to maternal thyroid deprivation.
