I n t e r v e n t i o n Men were allocated to be invited (n = 33 839) or not to be invited (n = 33 961) for screening. The invited group received by mail an invitation from their family physician, an information booklet, and a questionnaire. Those accepting the invitation attended a clinic and had an ultrasonographic scan of the abdominal aorta. Scan results were sent to the family physicians. ...

The impact on human life and health was massive. The death toll was 15 839 – second only to the Great Kanto Earthquake of 1923. As of 29 November, the missing individuals numbered 3632, while the injured totaled 5950.1 Power, gas and water supplies were disrupted in many areas for several days and weeks.

Cardiovascular disease is a major source of morbidity and mortality for patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is a strong predictor of coronary artery disease and a risk factor for mortality in the general population. This is of particular interest to nephrologists because the risk for PAD is increased in CKD. Often, PAD is overlooked as a source of morbi...

The authors performed a meta-analysis of the distributed practice effect to illuminate the effects of temporal variables that have been neglected in previous reviews. This review found 839 assessments of distributed practice in 317 experiments located in 184 articles. Effects of spacing (consecutive massed presentations vs. spaced learning episodes) and lag (less spaced vs. more spaced learning...

Our objective was to evaluate the acceptability of a comprehensive smoke-free policy among low-income tenants in a group of subsidized, multiunit buildings. We conducted a mixed-methods evaluation that included questionnaires mailed to 839 tenants and follow-up telephone interviews with 23 tenants who were current, former, and never smokers. Most never and former smokers supported the policy, c...

The Cs symmetric methylgermyl radical, H2GeCH3(X A0), and its D5-isotopomer were detected via infrared spectroscopy in electron-irradiated methane – germane matrices via the m6 mode at 839 cm 1 and the m12 absorption at 1406 cm . ExperimentswithD4-germane –D4-methanematrices also detected absorptions from theD5-methylgermyl species upon electron exposure at 624 cm 1 (m7) and 1406 cm 1 (m3) orig...

A review of 839 necropsies revealed 415 cases of malignant neoplasm, 63 of which were found to have evidence of metastatic spread to the sternum. Nineteen of these metastases resulted in pathological sternal fractures. Fine detail radiography proved a quick and accurate technique for detecting these lesions post mortem. The characteristics of pathological sternal fractures were compared with tr...
