Blood types of patients admitted to the Hadassah University Hospital with ankylosing spondylitis did not differ significantly from the expected percentages among the Israeli population, except for a very high incidence (92% to 100%) of homozygous MM. Among healthy controls the incidence of homozygous MM was found to be in line with accepted values.

Previous reports have suggested that the blood supply derived from the anterior tibial artery is absent or markedly diminished in 85% of severe, untreated club feet. To investigate these claims, we used a Doppler technique to study the arterial pulses in 40 children with 63 club feet. In feet with mild or moderate deformities the anterior tibial pulse was always present; in feet with severe deformities it was absent in two out of 30 feet in children under three years and in seven out of 18 feet in children over three years. These results confirm that the incidence of pulselessness increases with the severity and duration of deformity, but not to the extent previously suggested by angiographic studies. The significance of these findings is discussed.
