Abstract Two infants with absent radii are described. Both had hemorrhagic manifestations which occurred within 24 hours of birth, and from which they eventually died. The most important hematologic feature was absence of megakaryocytes in the bone marrow. Five cases showing a similar picture have been recorded, four as amegakaryocytic thrombocytopenia, and one as congenital leukemia. It is suggested that these cases are related on the one hand to Fanconi’s anemia, and on the other to congenital leukemia.

Abstract Inherited bone marrow failure syndromes (IBMFS) present chronic bone marrow failures, a familial incidence and high risk of malignancy. Objective: we describe our experience with patients with IBMFS. Since 02/73 to 02/05, 60 patients (pts) with IBMSF were diagnosed.

Abstract Chronic hypoxemia was induced in one partner of a pair of parabiotic rats by exposure to defined gas mixtures with low oxygen content. The other partner of the pair was kept in normal atmosphere throughout the experiment and showed normal values of the oxygen saturation of the blood. The erythropoiesis, estimated by the percentage of nucleated red cells in the bone marrow, showed a statistically significant stimulation in both animals. It is, therefore, concluded that under these experimental conditions, the stimulus is not the partial pressure of oxygen in the bone marrow directly but a humoral factor elicited by the hypoxemia in the one partner and transferred to the other one.
