چکیده
As part of the-Naval Submarine Medical Research Laboratory's, continuing Longitudinal Health Study, the sera of 566 submariners were analyzed for 12 biochemical parameters, using standardized automated procedures. In addition, a two-hour glucose tolerance test was performed on each participant. Mean values of all parameters measured were within generally accepted normal clinical limits. The values for cholesterol, uric acid, inorganic phosphate, and glucose were shown to be distributed according to Gaussian probability curves. A slight skewing was demonstrated for total calcium, lactic dehydrogenase, alkaline phosphatase, and total protein. Blood urea nitrogen, serum glutamic-oxalacetic transaminase, albumin, and bilirubin exhibited marked skewness. The significance of these distributions is discussed. Clip and Mail Form for Change of Address: To: Commanding Officer, Naval Submarine Medical Research Laboratory, Atta: Code 03B Subj: Change of Address 1. I/We wish to continue to receive NavSubMedRschLab Reports, however, the following change of address should be noted:

It is difficult to compare the severity of different illnesses. Medical outcome measurements — morbidity and mortality ■— are not useful indicators. Another indicator is needed. A Severity of Illness Scale has been developed and validated on patients hospitalized with abdominal pain. A maximum likelihood factor analysis was carried out on the following variables: the number of bed days occupied...

The visual tasks aboard submarines can be analyzed according to the demand for visual acuity placed upon the men performing them. Such assessments have been made on several occasions in the past, in response to increasing shortages of manpower, and have often resulted in relaxation of standards. These studies are summarized, the rationale for current standards stated and other solutions to the ...
