A Survey Of Patterns Of Nonpharmacologic Care For Hypertensive Patients, Including Recommendations For Their Children, Ivan Soltero, Yi Tsong, Richard Cooper, Jeremiah Stamler, Rose Stamler, Dan Garside

Faculty Publications

To ascertain current approaches of physicians to nutritional-hygienic management of hypertensive patients and their children, a survey was done among a random sample of Chicago-area generalists, internists, and cardiologists. Thirteen items related to advice for patients; two for their children. Of 713 physicians holding M.D. degrees in the sample, 573 (80%) responded. For hypertensive patients, the great majority of physicians indicated that they advise weight loss, avoidance of salt use at table, no smoking, regular exercise, limitation of alcohol intake, and avoidance of stressful situations. Although 98% advised weight loss, a minority responded positively to reduction of carbohydrate and/or fat …


The Association Between Urinary Sodium Excretion And Blood Pressure In Children, R. Cooper, I. Soltero, K. Liu, D. Berkson, S. Levinson, J. Stamler Jan 1980

The Association Between Urinary Sodium Excretion And Blood Pressure In Children, R. Cooper, I. Soltero, K. Liu, D. Berkson, S. Levinson, J. Stamler

Faculty Publications

This study explored the association between sodium excretion and blood pressure (BP). A new method was used to minimize the measurement error introduced by the large intrinsic variability of 24-hour sodium excretion. The ratio of intra- to interindividual variation was used to estimate the number of measurements needed to characterize the individual. When seven consecutive 24-hour samples were collected from 73 children, ages 11-14 years, a significant correlation between mean individual sodium excretion and BP was demonstrated. The independent relationship persisted when controlling for height, weight, pulse, age, sex and race (p = 0.045), but was eliminated by simultaneously considering …


Variability In 24-Hour Urine Sodium Excretion In Children, Kiang Liu, Richard Cooper, Ivan Soltero, Jeremiah Stamler Jan 1979

Variability In 24-Hour Urine Sodium Excretion In Children, Kiang Liu, Richard Cooper, Ivan Soltero, Jeremiah Stamler

Faculty Publications

How many 24-hour urine sodium measurements are adequate for characterizing a child's salt intake? Can overnight urine specimens accurately replace 24-hour collections for salt assessment? A sample of 73 6tb-8th grade children was taken from two parochial schools in Chicago to inrestigate systematically these questions. Seven consecutive 24-hour-urine specimens were collected from each child. The estimated ratio of intra- to inter-individual variances was 1.94 for 24-hour-urine sodium. Based on this value, eight 24-hour specimens are necessary to limit to 10% the diminution of the estimated correlation coefficient between 24- hour-urine sodium and blood pressure. Six measurements are required to reduce …


Can Overnight Urine Replace 24-Hour Urine Collection To Assess Salt Intake?, Kiang Liu, Alan R. Dyer, Richard S. Cooper, Rose Stamler, Jeremiah Stamler Jan 1979

Can Overnight Urine Replace 24-Hour Urine Collection To Assess Salt Intake?, Kiang Liu, Alan R. Dyer, Richard S. Cooper, Rose Stamler, Jeremiah Stamler

Faculty Publications

Are overnight urine specimens adequate for characterizing the daily salt intake of individuals, i.e., can the overnight specimen replace the 24-bour specimen? Data from 142 male participants of an ongoing trial on the primary prevention of hypertension were used to examine this question with correlation analysis and quantile classification. Estimated correlation between the true mean 24-hour and the true mean overnight sodium excretion was 0.72. Furthermore, 67% of the individuals in the upper third of the distribution of true mean overnight urine sodium were also in the upper third of the distribution of true mean 24-hour sodium. Thus, these data …

Studies Of Handicapped Students: Volume Ii: Teacher Identification Of Handicapped Pupils (Ages 6-11) Compared With Identification Using Other Indicators, Patricia Craig, David Kaskowitz, Mary Malgoire

Faculty Publications

Presented is a two-volume study of the characteristics of students identified as handicapped from educational, clinical, and psychological evaluations. The first volume describes an analysis (based on surveys collected by the National Center for Health Statistics) of the affects on identification of 14,185 6- to 17-year old students of family income, race, population size of place of residence, and geographic location. Among six primary findings reviewed are that all three types of teacher-identified handicaps (physical, mental, and speech) were significantly concentrated in the low income elementary school population, and that teachers identified both mental and speech handicaps at a significantly …

Trends In Mortality From Cerebrovascular Diseases In The United States, 1960 To 1975, Ivan Soltero, Kiang Liu, Richard Cooper, Jeremiah Stamler, Dan Garside Jan 1978

Trends In Mortality From Cerebrovascular Diseases In The United States, 1960 To 1975, Ivan Soltero, Kiang Liu, Richard Cooper, Jeremiah Stamler, Dan Garside

Faculty Publications

A long-term decline in death rates from cerebrovascular diseases in the United States accelerated in 1969, with a further increase in the rate of decline after 1972. This break in the pattern of the mortality curve for stroke was observed in all 4 major sex-color groups, and affected all age groups in which a significant number of stroke deaths occur. The decline for non-whites was relatively and absolutely greater than for the comparable white sex. If the 1960 rates had persisted in 1975, 87,600 more lives would have been lost to cerebrovascular diseases. Although there are no data documenting a …

Endoparasitic Nematodes Of Ips Bark Beetles In Eastern Texas, Jack E. Coster, William Hoffard Jan 1976

Endoparasitic Nematodes Of Ips Bark Beetles In Eastern Texas, Jack E. Coster, William Hoffard

Faculty Publications

East Texas Ips species contained 4 specific internal nematodes; I. avulsus (Eichhoff) were infected with Parasitylenchus avulsi Massey, I. grandicollis (Eichhoff) with Contortylenchus grandicolli (Massey) Rlihm, and I. calligraphus (Germar) with Contortylenchus elongatus (Massey) Nickle and Parasitaphelenchus sp. In all 3 bark beetles, infection peaked in July and August when 50-58% of adults from naturally attacked pine trees contained nematodes. Infection levels declined to 20-30% during January and February. Infected I. grandicollis and I. avulsus adults appeared lighter in color than noninfected adults. Nematode infection apparently delayed emergence of both sexes of I. grandicollis and females of I. avulsus. In …

Season of calving had important effects on the shape of the lactation curve, affecting peak milk yield, persistency, and lactation lengths in a Louisiana Holstein herd. Feeding regime and age at calving also had marked effects. Plane of nutrition appeared to have more important effects on components of the lactation curve than did season of calving. Most interaction effects were small. Lactation milk yield for Holstein cows in five Louisiana herds calving in the hot season of the year was consistently from 200 to 300 kg (5 to 8%) less than that for cows calving during cool and mild seasons. …

Ultimobranchial Thyroid Neoplasms In Bulls. A Syndrome Resembling Medullary Thyroid Carcinoma In Man, Hugh E. Black, Charles C. Capen, David M. Young Jan 1973

Ultimobranchial Thyroid Neoplasms In Bulls. A Syndrome Resembling Medullary Thyroid Carcinoma In Man, Hugh E. Black, Charles C. Capen, David M. Young

Faculty Publications

A syndrome of ultimobranchial thyroid neoplasms which shares many similarities with medullary thyroid carcinoma in man occurs frequently in populations of adult bulls. The results of this investigation demonstrated that ultimobranchial neoplasms were composed of poorly differentiated parafollicular (C—) cells with extensive aggregations of microfilaments, clusters of ribosomes, and prominent Golgi apparatuses. Secretion granules often were interspersed between microfilaments. Other more columnar neoplastic cells assumed a ductal pattern. The prominent stroma contained amyloid fibrils and collagen fibers. By comparison, cells comprising medullary thyroid carcinoma were more differentiated parafollicular cells with well developed cytoplasmic organelles and numerous membrane‐limited secretion granules. Calcitonin …
