| outbreak of burkitt's-like lymphoma in homosexual men. | four cases of burkitt's-like lymphoma (undifferentiated, monoclonal, b-cell tumours) in homosexual men were seen in a 9-month period in san francisco. one tumour contained both epstein-barr-virus nuclear antigen (ebna) and cytomegalovirus (cmv) antigen. another tumour contained ebna, and a third contained no viral antigen, but ebna and cmv antigens were detected in the overlying epithelium. this outbreak widens the array of neoplasms affecting immunosuppressed homosexual men and provides further ... | 1982 | 6125777 |
| epidemic of acquired immunodeficiency in rhesus monkeys. | a syndrome closely resembling acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (aids) in man has been identified in a group of 64 rhesus monkeys (macaca mulatta) maintained outdoors at the california primate research center. the syndrome is characterised by generalised lymphadenopathy, severe opportunistic infections including cytomegalovirus, chronic wasting, and high mortality. in 1 animal a multifocal cutaneous fibrosarcoma developed. this syndrome in monkeys may provide an animal model for human aids. | 1983 | 6130381 |
| barriers to influenza vaccine acceptance. a survey of physicians and nurses. | the immunization practices advisory committee (acip) recommends that health care providers who contact high-risk patients receive influenza immunization annually. there are few available data on hospital employees' acceptance of these recommendations or their attitudes about influenza immunization. in a hospital where no formal influenza immunization program was in place, a survey of 193 nursing personnel and physicians showed that only 2.1% received the 1986-1987 trivalent influenza vaccine and ... | 1989 | 2774292 |
| relevance of biochemical tumor markers and lymphadenectomy in management of non-seminomatous testis tumors: current perspective. | radioimmunoassay determinations of the biochemical tumor markers, alpha-fetoprotein or human chorionic gonadotropin, revealed elevated serum levels in 94 per cent of the patients with advanced disease. no falsely positive values have been observed. the markers are useful in monitoring the response to therapy and, when persistently elevated after therapy, indicate the presence of residual malignant tumor, usually embryonal carcinoma. however, they have a more limited role in the management and fo ... | 1980 | 6153725 |

| a human capital approach to icu nurse retention. | nursing staff turnover is a critical personnel problem for nursing administrators and top hospital management. high turnover rates degrade the quality of patient care. they are economically dysfunctional when they reduce the capacity of hospital units; the facility loses revenues which can in turn exacerbate retention problems. good management practice requires that nursing staff turnover be closely and routinely monitored with indices reporting both personnel numbers and staff experience status ... | 1989 | 2778522 |
| procedure for recovery of enteroviruses from the japanese cockle tapes japonica. | the most likely shellfish to be harvested if sportfishing is reinstated in san francisco bay is the japanese cockle tapes japonica. the virus levels present in these shellfish are unknown and need to be evaluated before the shellfish beds are open. towards this end, a procedure for recovering and concentrating enteric viruses from these clams has been evaluated. effective elution of poliovirus from clam tissues was found to occur with ph 9.5 glycine-buffered saline rather than with the ph 7.5 fl ... | 1981 | 6263186 |

| distinctive biochemical features of salmonella dublin isolated in california. | we examined 34 strains of salmonella dublin that were isolated in california between 1978 and 1982. all were of a characteristic biotype; they did not grow on simmons citrate or acetate and did not ferment arabinose. their apparent inability to use citrate as the only carbon source was due to a nutritional requirement for nicotinic acid. because s. dublin strains are of a characteristic biotype, are host adapted to bovines, and are unusually virulent for humans, we suggest that s. dublin be cons ... | 1983 | 6341406 |

| historical perspectives on california encephalitis virus in california. | cev is primarily associated with ae. melanimon as its maintenance host and vector in california. a few species of lagomorphs and rodents will develop a transient viremia when infected. infection of domestic mammals and man is frequent but rarely results in a clinical disease. extensive field and laboratory studies lead to the conclusion that cev probably is a mosquito virus that is partially adapted to a narrow range of vertebrate hosts but is not reliant on vertebrates for its continuous existe ... | 1983 | 6135217 |
| evaluation of lactational performance of navajo women. | the effect of suboptimal maternal nutrition on lactational performance of 23 navajo women was studied in terms of milk volume, milk composition, and infant growth. the mean milk volume produced by 10 navajo women was 634 +/- 113 mg/24 h after approximately 1 month of lactation. the content of protein, lactose, and lipid were within normal limits. retinol and carotene content were 32.9 +/- 15.7 and 19.7 +/- 6.3 microgram/dl, respectively. milk folacin averaged 56.4 +/- 23.9 mg/ml. the mean conten ... | 1981 | 7293949 |

| factors affecting the probability of use of general and medical health and social/community services for mexican americans and non-hispanic whites. | are individual characteristics associated with use of general and mental health and human service sectors similar for mexican americans (mas) and non-hispanic whites (nhws)? we addressed this question using data from the los angeles site of the nimh epidemiologic catchment area program. a random sample of the general population of two mental health catchment areas was interviewed in 1983-1984. with four exceptions, individual variation in sociodemographic factors, insurance coverage, and health ... | 1988 | 3374179 |
| antifluoridationists persist: the constitutional basis for fluoridation. | the controversy surrounding fluoridation persists. in recent years opponents of fluoridation have resorted to the courts with increasing frequency and have achieved a few victories in the trial courts. to date, however, no appellate court has ruled against fluoridation. this article discusses the constitutional basis for the court decisions upholding fluoridation and the main arguments put forth by the antifluoridationists. five of the more recent cases are summarized, as is the first fluoridati ... | 1986 | 3465958 |

| stable nitrogen and carbon isotope ratios in bone collagen as indices of prehistoric dietary dependence on marine and terrestrial resources in southern california. | the ratios of 15n to 14n and 13c to 12c tend to be higher in marine than in terrestrial organisms. the concentrations of these isotopes in human bone collagen consequently can be used to make inferences about the contribution of marine and terrestrial resources to prehistoric diets. the utility of studying 15n/14n and 13c/12c ratios in conjunction with each other is illustrated by our analysis of 40 human burials from archaeological sites in the santa barbara channel area of southern california. ... | 1986 | 3777147 |
