| poor growth performance associated with hypocupremia in hawaiian feedlot cattle. | poor feedlot performance in native hawaiian feedlot cattle was investigated. cattle were first noticed to be affected 40 to 60 days after arrival at the feedlot, as judged by their retarded growth, when compared with penmates. marked hypocupremia was detected in all 10 cattle examined, irrespective of time in the feedlot. clinical signs and upper digestive tract lesions in 8 of the 10 cattle suggested secondary involvement of bovine papular stomatitis. the poor performance was attributed primari ... | 1979 | 422461 |
| seasonal effects of tropical climate on shaded and nonshaded cows as measured by rectal temperature, adrenal cortex hormones, thyroid hormone, and milk production. | rectal temperatures and hormone concentrations were monitored at intervals of 2 to 3 weeks, and milk, milk fat, and california mastitis test scores at intervals of 1 week in five shaded and in four nonshaded early lactation cows. measurements were taken from september to december in the mildly heat stressing climate of oahu, hawaii. the daily ambient temperature flux ranged from 22 c to 29 c in september to 20 c to 25 c in december. average daily temperature-humidity index (thi) values were 75 t ... | 1979 | 525903 |

| rabies surveillance in the united states during 1991. | in 1991, 49 states, the district of columbia, and puerto rico reported 6,972 cases of rabies in nonhuman animals and 3 cases in human beings to the centers for disease control. ninety-one percent (6,354 cases) were wild animals, whereas 8.9% (618 cases) were domestic species. the total number of reported cases of rabies increased 42.9% over that of 1990 (4,881 cases), with most of the increase resulting from continued spread of the epizootic of rabies in raccoons in the mid-atlantic and northeas ... | 1992 | 1483899 |
| relationships between prevalence of leptospira interrogans in cattle, and regional, climatic, and seasonal factors. | on the basis of serologic test results and isolation of leptospires from mature cattle, distribution and prevalence of leptospira interrogans serovars and genotypes were compared by state and region of the united states. relationships between isolation rate and month of sample collection, mean regional temperature, and mean regional precipitation were examined. isolation rate and seroprevalence were significantly (p less than 0.001) higher for southeastern, south central, and pacific coastal reg ... | 1991 | 1785720 |
| leptospirosis on kauai: investigation of a common source waterborne outbreak. | during the summer of 1987, a common source waterborne outbreak of leptospirosis occurred on the island of kauai in the state of hawaii. eight leptospirosis cases were identified using the microscopic agglutination test. methodologic weaknesses in this technique were responsible for the initial missed diagnosis on six of the eight cases. all cases had repeated exposure to the waimea river. a wide array of animal reservoirs and optimal water conditions may have been factors in this outbreak. | 1991 | 1928530 |
| evaluation of human exposure to the heptachlor epoxide contamination of milk in hawaii. | the commercial milk supply on oahu was contaminated by heptachlor epoxide for as long as 15 months during 1981-82 at levels possibly as high as 1.2 ug/g, fat basis. following the contamination, several investigators attempted to evaluate potential adverse health outcomes, especially among infants and young children. however, results of the initial investigations are inconclusive due to lack of reliable measures of heptachlor exposure, use of non-random sampling techniques, and lack of definitive ... | 1991 | 2061027 |
| rabies surveillance in the united states during 1989. | in 1989, 4,808 cases of rabies in animals other than human beings were reported to the centers for disease control, 1.8% more (4,724 to 4,808) than in 1988. eighty-eight percent (4,224/4,808) of those affected were wild animals and 12% (584/4,808) were domestic animals. cases were reported from 49 states, the district of columbia, and puerto rico; hawaii remained rabies-free. skunks (1,657) continued to be the most commonly reported rabid wild animal. for the second consecutive year, more cats ( ... | 1990 | 2276949 |
| helminth parasites of intermingling axis deer, wild swine and domestic cattle from the island of molokai, hawaii. | helminth infections of axis deer (cervus axis), wild swine (sus scrofa) and domestic cattle (bos taurus) were studied among intermingling herds on the puu-o-hoku ranch, molokai, hawaii. twenty-four species of helminths were collected from the 10 deer, 10 swine and 10 cattle. capillaria bovis, cooperia punctata, haemonchus contortus and trichostrongylus axei infected both axis deer and cattle, whereas gongylonema pulchrum infected both axis deer and wild swine. none of the species of helminths oc ... | 1989 | 2716106 |
| trends in birth defects for a hawaiian population exposed to heptachlor and for the united states. | the 1980-1982 milk supply contamination on the island of oahu, hawaii, by the insecticide heptachlor offered an opportunity to investigate the possible human teratogenicity of this organochlorine. an analysis of incidence rates for 23 major congenital malformations, derived from hospital-generated data collected by the birth defects monitoring program of the centers for disease control, failed to show any remarkable rate increase on oahu in 1981-1983, based on comparisons with the rates for prev ... | 1986 | 3740952 |
| successful transfer of dhp-degrading bacteria from hawaiian goats to australian ruminants to overcome the toxicity of leucaena. | cattle and goats in australia lack the ability to totally degrade 3-hydroxy-4(1h)-pyridone, also known as 3,4-dihydroxy pyridine (3,4 dhp), the ruminal metabolite of mimosine, a toxic aminoacid present in the leguminous shrub leucaena leucocephala. ruminants in hawaii have this capacity due to the presence of micro-organisms able to rapidly degrade the dhp. a mixed bacterial population capable of rapidly degrading dhp in vitro was isolated from a goat on the island of maui. cultures were grown a ... | 1986 | 3790013 |

| independent and joint effects of family history and lifestyle on colorectal cancer risk: implications for prevention. | it has been suggested that, for a substantial proportion of "sporadic" colorectal cancers (crcs), inheritance determines individual susceptibility and that lifestyle determines which susceptible individuals express cancer. because the genetic basis of this inherited susceptibility remains undefined, we used family history of the disease as a proxy for a genetic predisposition to examine its interactions with a variety of lifestyle factors in a large population-based case-control study of crc. th ... | 1999 | 9950239 |
