| stool viruses in babies in glasgow. i. hospital admissions with diarrhoea. | stools from 183 babies under 2 years of age admitted to ruchill hospital with diarrhoea were examined by electron microscopy, virus culture, bacterial culture and light microscopy. as far as possible, several stools were examined from each patient and the results showed rotaviruses, astroviruses and other viruses in association with symptoms, as well as the expected bacterial pathogens. examination of several stools from the same patient also showed that in this age group the viral flora of the ... | 1977 | 403233 |
| genetic and anthropological studies in the human adaptability section of the international biological programme. | in the u.k. contribution to the h.a. (human adaptibility) section of i.b.p., genetic and anthropological studies have focused on three concerns. first, attempts have been made in a number of investigation to gain additional descriptive information about the genetic compostition of the world's populations. concentrating on blood groups, blood enzymes, serum proteins and other polmorphic markers important gaps have been filled in our knowledge of the geographical paterns of human variation and of ... | 1976 | 8800 |
| clostridia isolated from faeces. | clostridia were isolated from human faecal samples from england, scotland, wales, usa, hong kong, uganda and japan. strains were identified on the basis of various biochemical reactions and on the type of fatty acid produced from glucose. analysis of these acids was by gas-liquid chromatography. clostridium paraputrificum was common in stool samples from england, scotland, wales, and usa, but rare in samples from hong kong, uganda and japan. | 1976 | 1263249 |

| c- and q-band polymorphisms in the chromosomes of three human populations. | the incidence of the various classes of c-band and q-band polymorphisms on ten pairs of chromosomes in the human complement have been investigated in three scottish populations, two from the mainland (newborn and 14 year olds) and one, of individuals over 65 years, from an island in the outer hebrides. although there is an overall similarity between the populations, there are some differences, especially with the island group. for all populations, over 90% of the c-band size variants fall within ... | 1976 | 962326 |
| the mineral dust load of human lungs. | studies of the dust content of lungs from non-industrially exposed city dwellers have shown that many people build up during life a total dust load of 2 grammes or more. this dust load may include up to 17 x 10(6) mineral fibres large enough to be visible with the light microscope and 360 x 10(8) fibres visible only by electron-microscopy. all lungs examined contained a small percentage of fibres that appeared structurally similar to chrysotile asbestos. it was found that the total dust content ... | 1976 | 1016872 |
| natural challenge of subjects vaccinated with wrl 105 strain live influenza vaccine in a residential community. | in the spring of 1975 an outbreak of influenza associated with influenza virus a/scotland/840/74 virus occurred in a residential college where the previous autumn some students had been immunised with a single intranasal dose of recombinant wrl 105 (h3n2) (a/okuda/57xa/finland/4/74) strain live attenuated infleunza virus vaccine. during the outbreak none of seven students who had been vaccinated suffered from influenza but an influenzal illness did occur in four of eleven who had received placeb ... | 1976 | 782969 |
| society, self, and mind in moral philosophy: the scottish moralists as precursors of symbolic interactionism. | many of the concepts central to symbolic interactionism were anticipated by the eighteenth century scottish moralists. the symbolic-interactionist and scottish moralist orientations both hold that society alone engenders uniquely human qualities, self-arises through sympathetic interaction, and mind and self reconstruct their environments. george h. mead's conception of though as internal dialogue between the "i" and "me" aspects of the self and his notion of the "generalized other" were foresha ... | 1976 | 801143 |
| comparison of the specificity of human and bovine tuberculin ppf for testing cattle. 3. national trial in great britain. | a field trial on a country-wide basis was undertaken to compare the specificity for bovine tuberculosis of single and comparative tuberculin tests in cattle using either weybridge human or weybridge bovine ppd. the tests were made on 10,305 cattle in 179 herds distributed throughout all regions of england, scotland and wales. results showed that a comparative tuberculin test using avian ppd with either human or bovine ppd had a much higher efficiency than a single injection of mammalian tubercul ... | 1975 | 47752 |
| the effects of selection and human preference on coat colour gene frequencies in urban cats. | in an attempt to examine the possibility of selection on domestic cats populations in the urban environment, a number of surveys were conducted in four contrasting areas of glasgow--two near either extreme of western, industrial socioeconomic status. the first survey was in the form of a questionnaire to inhabitants enquiring of preference for a particular phenotype. this survey revealed a consistent preference for lighter phenotypes in all areas. the incidence of cat ownership was greatest in t ... | 1975 | 1060609 |
| a survey of the benefits and risks in the practice of radiology. | the findings from both animal and human studies on the radiation risk at low doses and low dose rates are far from conclusive, primarily due to statistical limitations. however, to arrive at some estimate of radiation risk, a conservative approach has been taken, and a linear extrapolation of radiation effects from high doses to low doses has been made. thus, it is assumed that any exposure to radiation carries some risk of somatic or genetic damage and that there is no threshold or safe dose. i ... | 1975 | 1097189 |

| echovirus type 4 infections in scotland, 1971-72. | an outbreak of infection due to echovirus 4 in scotland involving 194 cases during 1971-72 is described. clinical and epidemiological information was obtained and analysed for 181 patients, of whom 149 (82%) developed aseptic meningitis. the majority of cases were older children (39%) and young adults (40%), although the highest attack rate was in infants (10.5 per 100,000 population). an unusual feature of the outbreak was its biphasic nature with cases occurring largely in the same geographic ... | 1975 | 1209168 |
| cancer of the cervix: a sexually transmitted infection? | it has been established that sexual activity is a major factor in the genesis of cervical cancer. there are 2 current etiological hypotheses based on these observations. the 1st hypothesis stresses the association of cervical cancer with factors related to an early age at 1st intercourse. the 2nd hypothesis stresses the association of cervical cancer with factors related to the multiplicity of sexual partners, not only of the woman herself, but also of her husband. it proposes that malignant ... | 1974 | 4133714 |
| aetiology and epidemiology of viral croup in glasgow, 1966-72. | a retrospective study of 258 children admitted to ruchill hospital, glasgow, with croup between 1966 and 1972 indicated that the viruses most frequently associated with the syndrome were parainfluenza types 1 and 3 and influenza a. most cases were admitted in the late autumn and winter months, with a small peak in may and june. this seasonal distribution mirrored the circulation of the main causative agents in the community, parainfluenza 1 being principally associated with the autumn cases, inf ... | 1974 | 4371380 |
| infants, children, and informed consent. | obtaining informed consent for non-therapeutic experimentation on infants and children has ethical and legal implications that cause great controversy. there is some danger that worthy research will be inhibited if current ethical codes are interpreted too strictly, yet infants, children, and other vulnerable groups clearly must be protected from exploitation as research subjects. it is suggested that permission from parents coupled with integrity of the investigator will remain the child's best ... | 1974 | 4413853 |

| congenital malformations and the problem of their control. | the possibility of preventing or reducing the prevalence of human congenital malformations is discussed in the light of current knowledge about their aetiology. the original data presented are derived from an epidemiological study of all the infants (92,982) born in the three years 1964-6 to women resident in a defined area of south wales and all the congenital malformations (3,242) discovered in those infants by the second anniversary of their birth. | 1972 | 4262651 |

| virological studies of sudden, unexplained infant deaths in glasgow 1967-70. | virus isolation tests on 72 sudden unexplained infant deaths and 34 cases of explained death showed that 42 and 29% respectively had virus infections. a wide range of viruses was encountered, mainly enteroviruses and adenoviruses, mostly from bowel specimens. the findings did not suggest that overwhelming virus infection was a common feature of sudden death in infancy. | 1972 | 4339953 |

| some factors influencing mortality from influenza. | during the winter of 1969-70 the influenza virus variant a2/hong kong/68 caused an outbreak of influenza in glasgow that was associated with considerable morbidity and mortality. an analysis was made of 135 death certificates in which influenza was mentioned as a principal or contributory cause of death. over half the deaths occurred in patients aged 65 years or over. pre-existing disease, especially cardiovascular conditions, played an important role in influenza mortality. none the less, among ... | 1971 | 5316847 |

| age and human reproduction. | records of single 1st births to married women resident to aberdeen scotland, were examined to determine the relationship between age and reproduction. general significance of age differences are as follows: 1) the proportion of primiparae 40 years or older is 15% of the population; 2) women from educated classes postpone marriage and childbearing until economic stability has been obtained: 3) physical health and height are correlated, taller (and usually older) primiparae are in better health ... | 1958 | 12332401 |
| the sex ratio of human births related to maternal age. | data from the annual reports of the registrar-general for england an d wales (1939-1947) and for scotland (1939-1947) were examined to determine the relationship of sex ratio to maternal age. sex ratios of total births and live births decrease with maternal age; sex ratios of stillbirths increase. the increase in the sex ratio of stillbirths with maternal age accounts for the difference between live births and total births. the decrease in the sex ratio of total births with maternal age may b ... | 1950 | 12332354 |
| survey of a scottish diabetic clinic: a study of the etiology of diabetes mellitus. | certain features of a group of 1309 diabetics were studied. the group was considered representative of scottish diabetics since the sex distribution of cases corresponded to the sex distribution of deaths from diabetes recorded in the official mortality statistics for scotland. evidence is presented which justifies the use of scottish mortality statistics for this purpose. a study of the incidence of diabetes in 413,110 scottish recruits (male and female) suggested that in the general populat ... | 1949 | 12339641 |
