Alder–Reilly anomaly
Alder–Reilly anomaly, or Alder anomaly, is an inherited abnormality of white blood cells associated with mucopolysaccharidosis.
When blood smears and bone marrow preparations from patients with Alder-Reilly anomaly are stained and examined microscopically, large, coarse granules may be seen in their neutrophils, monocytes, and lymphocytes.
The condition may be mistaken for toxic granulation, a type of abnormal granulation in neutrophils that occurs transiently in inflammatory conditions.
In addition to mucopolysaccharidosis, Alder–Reilly anomaly may occur in lipofuscinosis and Tay–Sachs disease.
While the anomaly is generally considered to exhibit autosomal recessive inheritance, it may also occur in carriers who are heterozygous for the Tay–Sachs mutation, although the inclusions are much less frequent than in homozygotes.
Alder–Reilly anomaly is not diagnostic of any disorder and does not correlate with disease severity.
Affected white blood cells function normally.
Alder–Reilly inclusions stain appear violet when treated with Wright–Giemsa stain and, in mucopolysaccharidosis, stain metachromatically with toluidine blue.
Metachromatic staining is not seen in Tay–Sachs disease.
The granules tend to be round or comma-shaped and may be surrounded by a clearing in the cytoplasm.

Hornblower's Charitable Offering
Hornblower's Charitable Offering is a short story C.S.
Forester wrote about his fictional character Horatio Hornblower, when he was in command of HMS "Sutherland".
In the story the "Sutherland" rescues naked and emaciated Frenchmen from a makeshift raft.
The men had been prisoners of war who had been confined to the deserted island of Cabrera.
In Forester's story, Cabrera was deserted because it had no ports, and no foliage.
Spanish authorities had landed 20,000 French prisoners on the island.
Because there were no ports Spanish authorities left the prisoners unguarded, and the only care they provided were food shipments.
But the food they supplied was insufficient for the number of prisoners, and bad weather could prevent the landing of the food for weeks at a time.
Spanish authorities weren't providing any clothing or blankets to the prisoners, and, after two years confinement, all of their clothes had worn out.
The prisoners tell Hornblower some of the more desperate men have resorted to cannibalism.
When Hornblower approaches the island he sees that the Spanish victualing ship has given up on trying to land food, because the wind is in the wrong quarter for a landing on the island's single beach.
Through his superior seamanship Hornblower is able to shoot a line to the prisoners, and use it to let them tow to shore a casks of food from his own ship's stores.
Cabrera is a real island, and Spanish authorities did confine French prisoners there.
Over 10,000 French prisoners were confined on the Island, in 1808.
In 1814, when the war was over, only 3,700 were left to be repatriated.
