notes on east anglian blood donors.		1980	6776667
thromboplastin reference preparations.	the need for standardization of methods for the control of anticoagulant therapy was apparent 25 years ago. with the development of the ratio method for comparing the sensitivity of different thromboplastin preparations it became possible to equate the value obtained with one preparation in terms of the value which would be obtained with any other preparation, and the need for a reference to serve as a yardstick for comparison became obvious. the first trial reference preparation was developed i ...	1980	6941441
two forgotten pioneers. james carson and george bodington.	james carson, a scot, graduated from edinburgh in 1799. he settled in liverpool where he became a successful and respected physician and where he also found time to pursue a longstanding interest in physiology and to conduct certain important experiments. he read a series of papers on these experiments and their import before the literary and philosophical society of liverpool of which the two most important were on the elasticity of the lungs and on lesions of the lungs. in the first he clarifi ...	1980	7001666
epidemic spread of salmonella hadar in england and wales.	salmonella hadar is now the second commonest serotype isolated from cases of food poisoning in england and wales. turkeys are the main reservoir of the organism and there is an urgent need to eradicate it from the breeding stocks; though this would be expensive, the cost must be balanced against the cost of treating the human disease.	1980	7190046
the incidence of pleural mesothelioma in chrysotile asbestos textile workers.	analysis of the incidence of pleural mesothelioma in asbestos textile workers in relation to age, time since first exposure, intensity of exposure and period of observation indicates that age per se is largely irrelevant; that is, the incidence 30 years after first exposure appears to be much the same irrespective of age at first exposure. this has been shown to be true in animal experiments and has been suggested on theoretical grounds for certain human cancers; it explains the evolution of lun ...	1980	7228327

prevalence of antichlamydial antibody in london blood donors.	the prevalence of type-specific antichlamydial antibody in a population of blood donors in london was studied using a microimmunofluorescence test. twenty-six (17%) of 150 women and 38 (26%) of 150 men had antichlamydial antibody (igg at greater than or equal to 1/16 or igm greater than or equal to 1/8 or both). of these, five (3%) women had one (0.75%) man had this antibody directed against chlamydia trachomatis serotypes d-k, responsible for genital infections, and one man had antibody to chla ...	1980	7448582
a broader training for medical receptionists.	a course for 40 medical receptionists working in general practice was arranged at a local postgraduate centre. the curriculum was divided into two sections. the first dealt with the traditional, factual side of medical reception work and the second was concerned with the human behaviour aspect of a receptionist's work. it seems that there was some benefit to the receptionists from their experience of both aspects of this course.	1980	7452583
unanswered questions on ectopic pregnancy.	in a previous article (3 may, p. 1127), the british medical journal attempted to assess the demography of ectopic pregnancy and noted that a rise in incidence might lead to a better diagnosis of the condition. cited as possible causes of ectopic pregnancy are pelvic sepsis and iud usage. there is clinical confirmation of the relationship between pelvic sepsis and iud usage. a review of the records of 325 consecutive patients diagnosed as having ectopic pregnancy in 4 large london hospitals du ...	1980	7407528
the structure of the human population of the isles of scilly: inferences from surnames and birthplaces listed in census and marriage records.	investigation of the commonality of surnames among the isles of scilly using data covering the period from 1726 to the present, yields coefficients of relationship by isonymy which are compared with measures of relationship based on marital migration rates. the coefficients of relationship, calculated from lists of surnames in the marriage registers, and from lists of male surnames from the 1851 and 1871 censuses, are higher than any values yet reported for other british populations. however, th ...	1980	7235621
an analysis of the age distribution of colon cancer in adenomatosis coli.	for the purpose of elucidating the genetic and environmental interaction in human carcinogenesis, the age distribution of colon cancer in adenomatosis coli (ac) patients in japan and england were investigated and compated. according to the multiple mutation theory of carcinogenesis, the rate of tumor production is presented by a natural logarithm of the reciprocal of the survival fraction (the proportion on diagnosed colon cancer by age t either among ac patients or total colon cancer cases), an ...	1980	7351003

epidemiology of acromegaly in the newcastle region.	in an attempt to derive estimates of the incidence and prevalence of acromegaly a survey of the population in the area served by the former newcastle regional hospital board has been conducted to detect cases of acromegaly alive after 1 january 1960 and diagnosed before 31 december 1971. cases were detected by means of letters to general practitioners, hospital physicians, neurosurgeons and to hospital records officers, as well as from death certificates. from the population of 3.1 millions a fi ...	1980	7379316
the dysgonic form of microsporum canis in n.w. london.	an account is given of the occurrence in n.w. london of ringworm due to the dysgonic form of microsporum canis in cats, dogs, and humans. the unusual morphology of the dysgonic strain is described as is the extraordinary lability of the fungus in culture. the distribution of cases in man and animals in the area is mapped. the clinical and epidemiological behaviour of the fungus, as illustrated by four family outbreaks, differs little from that of the typical strain. the origin of the dysgonic st ...	1980	7387885
teachers in general practice: a comparative study.	thirty-nine randomly selected general practitioners in the cambridgeshire health area were surveyed in an attempt to determine whether there were prior differences between those practitioners who choose to become involved with undergraduate medical students and those who choose not to. teachers were found to have graduated more recently, subscribe to more journals and were more likely to use medical libraries than non-teachers. all the solo practitioners in the study and two of the four practiti ...	1980	7412633
blood-lead and cadmium in human hypertension.	an epidemiological study amongst hypertensives and normotensives in renfrew, scotland, where drinking water hardness is very low (5 p.p.m.) and water-lead levels are commonly high, has shown a significant association between high blood-lead levels and high blood pressure. no association was found with indices of renal function, plasma renin or angiotensin ii concentrations or serum uric acid levels. in a parallel study of blood-lead levels in birmingham, england, where water hardness is low (20 ...	1980	7462903
policies for the reduction of mortality differentials.	effective policies for the reduction of mortality differentials can only be formulated from a knowledge of what these differentials are and some understanding of what determines them. this review draws attention to the present limitations of the information. before turning to a discussion of policies to reduce mortality differentials, attention is directed to differentials by socioeconomic characteristics in developed countries and to mortality differentials in adult and child mortality in dev ...	1980	12337640
the role of returned migrants in england's poorest region.	"work on the growing international phenomenon of return migration requires a base of comparative knowledge on the less conspicuous process of inter-regional return migration. three questionnaire studies in the north-east of england identified about one-quarter of respondents as 'returned migrants' to that region. this group [is] attracted to work in new factories, but their economic status has not been markedly improved by geographic mobility."	1980	12338228
