  • W D. RALPH MILLARD, JR., MD, FACS
    The Incidence of Cleft Lip and Palate in Jamaica ' w D. RALPH MILLARD, JR., M.D., F.A.C.S. KENNETH A. McNEILL, M.D., B.S., FR.C.S., FA.C.S ' Miami, Florida The low incidence of clefts of the lip and palate in the Negro race has been noted often. In 1924, John Staige Davis (1) reported an incidence of 1:1170 births in Baltimore where there was a large number of Negroes and found the incidence of these anomalies to be lower in the Negro than in the Caucasian. Similar findings were suggested by Douglas (1950 and 1954) from the vital statistics of the State of Tennessee where the inci- dence was 1:1694 (6). In 1956, Peer (4) found that in New Jersey the proportion of white to Negro lip and palate clefts was 97 to 3. Sesgin and Stark (6) found in the Woman's Hospital Division of St. Luke's Hospital in New York the incidence of 1:1289 and explained this low incidence to be due to the relatively high percentage of Negro citizens. This was re- confirmed by Ivy (3) when he cited the incidence in Pennsylvania at 1:906 births but in Philadelphia County, with a 36% Negro population, the incidence was 1:1184. These findings again were substantiated by Robinson (5) in the multiracial society of Trinidad where the two major ethnic groups composing 90% of the population were divided into 54% Negro-mixed and 36% East Indian. The total incidence of cleft lip and palate in Trinidad was 1:857 but in the East Indian it was 1:500 and only 1:1888 in the Negro-mixed.

  • Psychiatric Induced Births in Jamaica: Homicide and Death Effects On
    rensic An o th F f ro o p l Bourne and Hudson-Davis, J Forensic Anthropol 2016, 1:1 o a l n o r g Journal of Forensic u y o J Anthropology Research Article Open Access Psychiatric Induced Births in Jamaica: Homicide and Death Effects on Pregnancy Paul Andrew Bourne1* and Angela Hudson-Davis2 1Director, Socio-Medical Research Institute, Kingston, Jamaica 2Angela Hudson-Davis, Capella University, USA Abstract For this paper, the researchers have narrowed the gap in the health literature by addressing the following objectives: 1) evaluate the role of homicide on admissions to a maternity hospital (or on pregnancy); 2) assess whether or not deaths can induce pregnancy or birth; 3) determine the responsivity of hospitalization at a mental health facility among pregnant women; and 4) calculated the responsivity of hospitalization to a maternity institution based on changes in homicide or deaths. The data for this study were taken from a Jamaica Government Publication. Data were also obtained from the Ministry of Health (2005-2015) on admissions to a national mental health public hospital in Jamaica, which is the Bellevue Hospital. The period for this work is from 2005 through to 2015. Homicide has an effect on admissions to Victoria Jubilee hospital, using the positive elasticities, especially those greater than one. Keywords: Induced birth; Postpartum psychosis engines did not turn up a single research on the aforementioned issues. Another rationale for this study is based on the comments of Valenca Introduction and de Moraes “There is a scarcity of studies in the literature that Jamaica is the largest English-Speaking Caribbean nation and deal with the relationship between mental disorders and homicide in the third largest Caribbean island with an estimated population of developing countries” (S67) [13].
