It has been many years since we first observed that in the first week of scarlet fever the activity of pancreatic enzymes in the duodenal juice becomes decreased and at the same time the level of both amylase and lipase is greatly increased in the blood. 1 After a week this shift characteristic of acute pancreatitis usually disappears. In some instances, however, the pancreatic dysfunction becomes permanent, similarly as after certain cases of mumps or other infectious fevers.* A short time after that observation we had occasion to become acquainted with the morphological basis of the dysfunction: In three patients who died of bacillary dysentery the pancreas presented a picture characterized by degeneration, variably","PeriodicalId":6798,"journal":{"name":"A.M.A. American journal of diseases of children","volume":"4 1","pages":"28-34"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1955-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75674773","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Since Galton suggested the study of identical twins as a method for the separation of hereditary and environmental influences in the development of human traits, \"Gemelloiogy\" has become a science in its own rights.* The striking similarities (concordance) of identical twins in physical, physiological, psychological, and pathological characteristics have always attracted attention and aroused curiosity. They were and are welcome objects of investigation for students of human inheritance. The dissimilarities (discordance) of identical twins being less impressive to the casual observer, rarely are given the consideration they deserve. Identical twins discordant in respect to a structural or functional disorder offer convincing evidence that a pathologic manifestation, observed in one twin only, cannot be determined entirely genetically.
