| clinical aspects of sperm bank. | the ability to preserve human sperm by cryogenic methods has been developed and successfully applied to reproductive biology. some of the advantages include 1) availability of sperm for heterologous (donor) insemination, 2) accumulation of multiple oligospermic specimens for homologous (husband) insemination, 3) preservation of sperm prior to vasectomy, 4) collection and preservation of sperm from men who face permanent injury to spermatogenesis through an operation, chemotherapy or radiation, 5 ... | 1978 | 650756 |
| informed consent by children and participation in an influenza vaccine trial. | two hundred thirteen school children, ages six to nine, were presented the opportunity to participate in an experimental trial of swine influenza vaccine. in non-directive question and answer sessions, all groups of children except one composed only of six year olds elicited all relevant information on the details of the trial and the associated risks and benefits. forty-six per cent of the subjects declined to participate. letters requiring informed consent of the parents were sent to the homes ... | 1978 | 717615 |

| tonsillectomy and infectious mononucleosis. | tonsillar tissue may be the primary site of infection with epstein-barr virus (ebv), the etiologic agent of classical infectious mononucleosis (im). therefore, a retrospective study of the association between tonsillectomy and im was performed in a college student population. in the first part of the study, tonsillectomy rates were compared between 164 im-positive students and 164 student controls who attended ucla in 1972-1975. although it was determined that the development of im during colleg ... | 1978 | 203187 |
| co-circulation of two influenza a (h3n2) antigenic variants detected by virus surveillance in individual communities. | from march through june 1977 a total of 31 influenza a (h3n2) viruses were isolated from students with respiratory disease who were seen at the student health service on the berkeley campus of the university of california, and 32 influenza a (h3n2) viruses were isolated from persons who participated in a city-wide febrile respiratory disease surveillance program in seattle. the antigenic specificity of the hemagglutinin was determined for each isolate by hemagglutination inhibition testing with ... | 1978 | 83107 |
| a serologic survey of mule deer and elk in utah. | sera from mule deer (odocoileus hemionus) and elk (cervus canadensis) in central and northern utah were tested for the prevalence of antibodies to 11 diseases communicable to man or domestic livestock. antibodies to francisella tularensis (at 1:20) were found in 47 of 88 (53.4%) elk and 1 of 89 (1.1%) deer. a screening slide agglutination test for titers to brucella (at 1:20) showed two reactors in elk but none in deer sera. no positive antibody titers were obtained in tests for anaplasmosis, co ... | 1978 | 105153 |
| apparent absence of sarcocystis and low prevalence of trichinella in artificially digested diaphragm muscle removed during post-mortem examination at a sacramento (california) medical center. | diaphragm samples taken from 297 humans at autopsy over a 20-mo period were artificially digested and the digestate was examined for sarcosystis and trichinella. no infection with sarcocystis was found while three infections with trichinella were discovered. | 1978 | 99061 |

| social networks, host resistance, and mortality: a nine-year follow-up study of alameda county residents. | the relationship between social and community ties and mortality was assessed using the 1965 human population laboratory survey of a random sample of 6928 adults in alameda county, california and a subsequent nine-year mortality follow-up. the findings show that people who lacked social and community ties were more likely to die in the follow-up period than those with more extensive contacts. the age-adjusted relative risks for those most isolated when compared to those with the most social cont ... | 1979 | 425958 |
| epidemiologic and clinical aspects of animal bite injuries. | during 1975, 332 animal bite injuries accounted for 1.2% of all surgical problems treated at the ucla hospital emergency department. data on 307 bite injuries were available and analyzed for environmental, animal, human, interaction, and clinical factors. more than half of the dog bites and almost three fourths of the cat bites-scratches happened at or near the victims' homes. dog bites were almost twice as common among men, while cat bites-scratches were twice as common among women. of the inci ... | 1979 | 430939 |
| human services workers: a study of perceptions of their role. | human services workers at the veterans administration hospital, brentwood, are involved with patients from the time they are admitted to the hospital until they are discharged and adjust to the community. as part of an evaluation of their role, a study was done of their tasks as perceived by themselves, by their supervisors, by other paraprofessionals, and by patients. in general, human services workers were perceived to be most involved in assisting patients in the hospital, followed by involve ... | 1979 | 447232 |
| correlation of culex tarsalis population indices with the incidence of st. louis encephalitis and western equine encephalomyelitis in california. | mosquito population indices from california for the period 1953-1973 were analyzed to determine their association with activity of st. louis encephalitis (sle) and western equine encephalomyelitis (wee) viruses. culex tarsalis female populations, as measured by new jersey light trap indices (lti), correlated positively with the incidence rates of encephalitis in humans, and were a reliable means of forecasting the years of highest incidence. the critical level of c. tarsalis in urban areas below ... | 1979 | 453436 |
