Prediction of posttreatment effectiveness in Navy alcoholics.

Major predictors of the posttreatment effectiveness of 2195 alcoholics enlisted in the U.S. Navy were, for men 26 and over, abstinence during treatment, years of service and level of pay, and, for younger men, level of pay, not being demoted and not missing promotion to petty officer status.

[Experimental studies of anemia in cattle caused by immune antibody. 2. Behavior of plasma hemoglobin, and serum bilirubin, inorganic phosphorus and calcium].

The course of haemolytic anaemia, caused by immune antibody, was characterised in greater detail with reference to eight heads of young cattle examined for plasma haemoglobin, bilirubin, inorganic phosphorus, and calcium in serum. Inorganic serum phosphorous values were found to decline strongly immediately after the onset of iso-immune serum transmission. Severe haemolysis developed, but only moderate haemoglobinaemia and no haemoglobinuria at all occurred. Bilirubin was increased over a long time, which seemed to support the assumption of gradual erythrocyte decomposition. The usefulness of inorganic serum phosphorus determination as an approach in support of early diagnosis of aggravating haemolysis is confirmed and recommended for metabolic monitoring of cattle herds.

Family history as a predictor of alcoholism in U.S. navy personnel.

Alcohol consumption, drinking patterns, alcohol-related problems and family histories were compared among Navy men upon reenlistment. Nonalcoholics with family histories of alcohol problems resembled alcoholics on a number of factors including high rates of minor alcohol problems.

Prognostic indicators for black and white alcoholics in the U.S. Navy.

Among 132 Black and 1384 White Navy enlisted men, about the same proportion of each group (76 and 77%) returned to effective duty after treatment for alcoholism. The best predictors of the sailors' effective recovery after treatment were favorable prognoses by treatment personnel, and their being promoted above the lowest grades of pay.

Senescence-related gene expression profiles of rosette leaves of Arabidopsis thaliana: leaf age versus plant age.

Senescence is a form of programmed cell death (PCD) which leads to the death of whole organs, e.g., leaves or flowers, and eventually to the death of entire plants. Like all forms of PCD, senescence is a highly regulated and energy consuming process. Senescence parameters, like protein content, chlorophyll content, expression of photosynthesis-associated genes or senescence-associated genes (SAGs), reveal that senescence occurs in old leaves derived from young plants (6 week old) as well as in young leaves derived from older plants (8 week old), indicating that it is governed by the actual age of the leaves. In order to analyse the differential gene expression profiles during leaf senescence, hybridizations of high-density genome arrays were performed with: i) individual leaves within the rosette of a 6-week-old plant and ii) leaves of the same position within the rosette but harvested from plants of different ages, ranging from 5 to 8 weeks. Cluster and genetree analyses, according to the expression pattern revealed that genes which are up-regulated with respect to the age of the entire plant, showed completely different expression profiles with respect to the age of the individual leaves within one rosette. This was observed even though the actual difference in leaf age was approximately the same. This indicates that gene expression appears to be governed by different parameters: i) the age of the individual leaf and ii) the age and developmental stage of the entire plant.
