| manpower for obstetrics-gynecology. iii. contributions to total female medical care. | this final report from the cooperative manpower study of the university of southern california and the american college of obstetricians and gynecologists describes the development of a female data file that outlines the care of women patients by all specialties. obstetrician-gynecologists are compared to other specialists; they see 300,000 women per day in the united states and provide a wide range of care. preventive care plays a larger role than in other major specialties, patient counseling ... | 1982 | 7124847 |

| a multivariate analysis of health-related practices: a nine-year mortality follow-up of the alameda county study. | associations between several common health-related practices and a variety of health outcomes have been reported. however, the independent associations between each of these practices and mortality from all causes have not been assessed. in the present report, a multiple logistic analysis of seven potentially health-related practices (individually and in a summary index) and mortality from all causes is conducted, using data from the human population laboratory study of a random sample of 6928 a ... | 1982 | 7148802 |
| a case of encephalitis in a human associated with a serologic rise to jamestown canyon virus. | an 8-year-old girl living in rural southwestern michigan experienced sudden onset of symptoms beginning with headache, dizziness and fever which rapidly progressed to central nervous system involvement with seizures and coma. following 27 days of hospitalization her recovery was uneventful, with no apparent sequelae 15 months after discharge. serologic studies of paired sera showed a rise in antibody to jamestown canyon virus, a member of the california serogroup (family bunyaviridae). specific ... | 1982 | 7149109 |
| serologic evidence of jamestown canyon and keystone virus infection in vertebrates of the delmarva peninsula. | serological data accumulated during the past decade indicated that a variety of feral and domestic animals of the delaware-maryland-virginia (delmarva) peninsula were infected with jamestown canyon (jc) and/or keystone (key) viruses (bunyaviridae, california serogroup). neutralizing (n) antibody to jc virus was most prevalent in white-tailed deer, sika deer, cottontail rabbits and horses. key virus n antibody was detected most frequently in gray squirrels and domestic goats. n antibody indicativ ... | 1982 | 7149110 |
| [the traits theory in longitudinal life span research. partial report of a workshop]. | during the international workshop on 'life span and change in a gerontological perspective' (9-12 july, 1981) at the university of nijmegen, the netherlands, research data from the oakland growth study and the guidance study have been discussed. the second major contribution came from the longitudinal studies at the bonn university. these groups of researchers cover different periods in the life span, but both contribute to prediction and understanding of periods not under investigation. each of ... | 1982 | 7164133 |

| strontium-90 in bone: a case study in age-dependent dosimetric modeling. | there is an increasing need for age-dependent dosimetric models, and it would be desirable to develop these models in such a way that the uniformity and basic features of the standard man models are retained. unfortunately, available data concerning the age-dependent retention of nuclides would rarely permit the identification of compartments, uptake fractions, and clearance times using the empirical fitting methods that characterize the development of many adult models. however, in cases where ... | 1982 | 7174326 |
| reproductive anomalies in stenoglossan snails related to pollution from marinas. | over 3090 snails of the dioecious intertidal species nassarius obsoletus say were collected from a total of 71 localities. their reproductive anatomy was examined for a superimposition of male characteristics on to the normal female anatomy, an abnormality called 'imposex'. imposex was rated numerically in terms of the fraction of the population affected and the intensity of expression in bearer snails. an initial survey of 22 localities in fairfield and westport, connecticut, led to the hypothe ... | 1981 | 7185869 |

| prevalence of hemagglutination inhibition antibody to current strains of the h3n2 and h1n1 subtypes of influenza a virus in sera collected from the elderly in 1976. | sera were collected in 1976 from 182 individuals born between 1876-1935, who included patients in a large local nursing home in orange county, california, and patients and staff at the university of california, irvine medical center. sera were treated with receptor-destroying enzyme and assayed for hemagglutination inhibition (hi) antibody to recent strains of influenza a virus. the antigens tested were: a/victoria/3/76 and a/texas/1/77 for subtype h3n2; a/new jersey/8/76, a/x53 and a/swine/1976 ... | 1982 | 7072705 |
| q fever hazards from sheep and goats used in research. | two recent outbreaks of q fever in research institutions prompted the authors to review extant data, in an effort to delineate hazards to humans from small ruminants used in research. prevalence of q fever antibodies was 24% among 2097 sheep and 57% among 1475 goats from various sources. in a facility using sheep for prenatal research, in which an epidemic of human q fever later occurred, antibody prevalence among sheep was 77%, with larger than usual proportions of high (greater than or equal t ... | 1982 | 7073323 |
