RESUMO
While females are still underrepresented as directors overall, the results of our survey indicate that in the past ten years female library directors have been hired in numbers nearly matching their overall percentage of the medical library profession. When the personal characteristics of medical library directors are compared by gender, male directors are more likely to be married, have children, and be somewhat younger upon attaining their first directorship. When the professional characteristics are compared, the only notable difference is that a greater portion of males hold a second master's degree. Despite the changing numbers of female library directors in the past ten years, these differences all held constant before and after 1977. Only the number of internal successions to directorship changed over time. The succession patterns of medical library directors now match more closely those of other academic library directors.

Nine obese patients (4M/5F) showing on a standard chest-X-ray a right subdiaphragmatic radiolucent area were submitted to ecography. This method excluded pathologic causes and showed adipose tissue as the cause of the increased distance between diaphragm and liver. Besides, ecography showed some limits in the evaluation of adipose area, because of the difficulty in studying obese patients.

A father and three of his offspring had skeletal abnormalities consisting of a short forearm, cubitus valgus, fusion of first and second cervical vertebrae, and cleft of L5 and S1. All four had a reciprocal, apparently balanced, translocation 2;8(q32;p13). Normal sibs had normal chromosomes. We conclude that this may be a rare instance of an autosomal dominant condition associated with a balanced chromosome translocation.

A case of XXXXY syndrome in a 15 year old male is reported. Clinical findings (mental retardation, muscular hypotonia, hypogonadism, characteristic facies), chromosome analyses as well as fingerprint ridge counts were typical of the syndrome. Several radiological abnormalities were found. It is noteworthy that features consistent with epiphysial dysplasia were present. In the patient's kindred a case of "cri du chat" syndrome and a 5:9 balanced translocation were discovered.

The Authors describe a case of congenital diverticulum of hypopharynx in a newborn. The lesion, early recognised, is successfull treated with surgical removal by a transcervical approach. The revision of the literature confirms the extreme rarity of this affection in the newborn and the correlated mortality if not early diagnosed and then confused with an atresia of the oesophagus it often simulates whose symptomatology.
