PROBLEM Enteroviruses are common human viruses associated with various clinical syndromes, from minor febrile illness to severe, potentially fatal conditions (e.g., aseptic meningitis, paralysis, myocarditis, and neonatal enteroviral sepsis). Multiple enterovirus serotypes exist. Individual serotypes have different temporal patterns of circulation and often are associated with different clinica...

About two years ago I was asked to undertake a short-term project for the Washington Wheat Commission. The commission had become increasingly concerned with the rapid and continual growth in year-end, carry-over stocks. Their concern was reflected in a project request, which asked for a “quickie” investigation of the potential for expanding the level of domestic utilization of wheat as a means ...

Resistance to antimicrobial agents is a major health problem that affects the whole world. Providing information on the past state of antimicrobial resistance in Libya may assist the health authorities in addressing the problem more effectively in the future. Information was obtained mainly from Highwire Press (including PubMed) search for the period 1970-2011 using the terms 'antibiotic resist...

This article is based on the findings of a study developed to compare health care costs in the United States during 1970-80 with those of six other industrially advanced countries--Canada, France, the Federal Republic of Germany, the Netherlands, Sweden, and the United Kingdom. Although health care expenditures in the United States have traditionally been relatively high, as a share of gross na...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Age-adjusted stroke mortality rates declined approximately 50% between 1970 and 1990 in both the United States and Minnesota, but the reasons for this decline are not clear. This report examines possible improvements in short- and long-term survival of hospitalized definite stroke patients in the Minneapolis-St Paul (the Twin Cities) metropolitan area during this period. ...

Presented in part at the National Meeting of the American Federation for Clinical Research, Atlantic City, N. J., 3 May 1970. Received for publication 21 September 1970 and in revised form 18 November 1970. These data show that drastic alterations of ionic environment can sharply influence the platelet's ability to incorporate orthophosphate-'P into its phospholipids.

The natural unemployment rate seems to have taken a wild ride. As late as 1970 the natural rate is thought to have been still low, perhaps 5.5 percent. Then unemployment rose in the mid-1970's, dipped, and rose again in the early 1980's. The impression formed that beneath this movement was a major rise of the natural rate--to about 6.5 percent at mid-decade in some estimates. Now the American u...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE A low-to-moderate average daily fish consumption has been reported to convey protection against coronary heart disease incidence and mortality. Currently there is no information about its effect on stroke risk. METHODS In 1960, 1965, and 1970 cross-check dietary histories were obtained in 552 men aged 50 to 69 years in 1970 in the town of Zutphen, The Netherlands. The a...
