ABSTRACT
Minutiae of the epidermal ridges were examined in 16 children with Down's syndrome and 50 children without genetic and familial abnormalities. Minutiae in standard areas on the hand palms (according to Grzeszyk's concept) were examined. Comparative analysis confirmed by the statistical analysis showed significant differences in the incidence of particular minutiae types on the hand palms of children with Down's syndrome and control group.

Jejunoileostomy has been performed for several years in extreme obesity and leads to a decrease of several microelements in blood serum. Mainly zinc, copper, and calcium are concerned. But the increasing adaptation of the active parts of the short bowel within a few months is followed by extensive normalization of the other disturbances after jejunoileostomy. As our experience shows, microelements have to be controlled and substituted after jejunoileostomy for at least 2 years, and in some cases we had to go on even after this time.
