Effect of telephone followups on post vasectomy office visits.

Vasectomies are considered minor outpatient procedures. Yet, many patients return to their urologist's office for rechecks because of complications or the need for reassurance of normal healing sequela. This study suggests that use of a tool for telephone followup can increase patient satisfaction and benefit urologic practice by curtailing the incidence of needless followup visits.

Fecal alpha 1-antitrypsin and infant feeding.

Stool samples from 232 infants aged 7 days to 18 months were analyzed for alpha 1-antitrypsin and for occult blood by two techniques. Among the 450 stool samples, no correlation between positive tests for occult blood and the concentration of alpha 1-antitrypsin was found. The alpha 1-antitrypsin concentration in the stool decreased after the age of 6 months in both breast-fed (P less than 0.05) and formula-fed (P less than 0.001) groups. In the 7- to 30-day-old infants, breast-feeding was associated with both lower fecal alpha 1-antitrypsin (P less than 0.001) and less frequent positive tests for occult blood (P less than 0.02) than found in the formula-fed infants. Between 6 and 12 months of age, alpha 1-antitrypsin was lower in cow milk-fed infants than in those receiving either breast-feeding supplemented with formula (P less than 0.01) or soy formula (P less than 0.05). Age and feeding differences in the concentration of alpha 1-antitrypsin in the stool may reflect subtle changes in gastrointestinal tract function in infancy.

A longitudinal study of total body potassium in normal breastfed and bottle-fed infants.

In a previous publication we predicted that growth as measured by 40K is best described by comparison of the semilog function of total body potassium (TBK) vs. length with a slope that differs in infants from that of children aged 3-18 years. Data for 84 infants having three or more measurements during the first year of life attest to this hypothesis, with a regression line for TBK and length: loge K, g = -0.265 + 0.04112 length in centimeters.
