Dietary calcium and blood pressure in National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys I and II.

It has recently been reported that a low intake of calcium may be a risk factor for hypertension. In view of the contradictory results, even when the same survey data base has been used by different researchers, an in-depth analysis was undertaken of the data provided by the two cycles of the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES). Both surveys, conducted in consecutive 4-yea...

Tuberculin sensitivity in tuberculosis.

Seven of twenty-eight (25%) patients with untreated tuberculosis had skin induration of less than 6 mm to one tuberculin unit (TU), and 3 (11%) to 10 TU PPD. Among twenty-four patients with lung disease, there were no detectable differences in radiological extent of disease between reactors and non-reactors to low-dose tuberculin. However, non-reactors were significantly more malnourished (P le...
