Follow-up studies on the distribution of haemoglobin levels in female farm workers.

Haemoglobin concentrations in about 1000 women agricultural workers in Japan were measured every year, except in 1972, during the period 1967-77. Improvements were noted in the course of this investigation, and these were predominantly associated with the fact that those in the study community began to pay attention to the problem of low haemoglobin levels and to improve their diet, with an increase in daily food intake, particularly of animal protein and iron. In addition, a marked decrease in anaemia caused by hookworm also played an important role. In this paper, the change in haemoglobin concentration during the period of study are described and the aetiology is discussed.

Persistent atrial standstill developed in a patient with rheumatic heart disease: electrophysiological and histological study.

A case with persistent atrial standstill is presented which developed from atrial fibrillation associated with rheumatic combined valvular heart disease. In addition to clinical and electrocardiographic findings, electrophysiological and histological studies by using microelectrode technique and electron microscopy, respectively, were carried out on specimens from the right atrial appendage resected at mitral valve surgery. Scattered but severe loss of myocardial cells in the atria and deterioration of the action potential of these poorly sustained myocardial cells were confirmed. The suggestive evidence is also shown that the deteriorated action potential observed by micro-electrode technique in this case may be composed of calcium current.

Prinzmetal's variant angina induced only by alcohol ingestion.

Prinzmetal's variant agina occurred in a 52-year-old man 10-11 h after the ingestion of alcohol, when blood levels of alcohol decreased almost to the zero level. Coronary arteriograms revealed significant narrowing in the left circumflex artery and the left anterior descending artery and minimal wall irregularity in the right coronary artery; however, both exercise and pharmacologic stress tests were negative. A withdrawal from an acute exposure to alcohol was discussed as a possible causative mechanism of the alcohol-induced Prinzmetal's variant angina in this case.
