Inequality of the services received by individuals: a suggested index and an illustrative application.

Population groups that are homogeneous with respect to such factors as insurance status, income level, and proximity to sources of care can still exhibit great internal inequality in the amount of care received by individuals. A statistical measure of this inequality is proposed and its application illustrated on employee groups living in two underdoctored areas. Utilization of physician services in these areas was found to be significantly less equal (as well as lower) than in comparable groups who live in areas with higher ratio of physicians to total population.

Kidney preservation using combinations of Belzer and Collins techniques.

A study was designed to test the advisability of using combined Belzer and Collins preservation in kidney-sharing programs. Dogs were randomly assigned to seven groups and no donor pretreatment was used. In group 1, left kidneys were removed from dogs; were flushed with Collins solution; and were autotransplanted immediately. In groups 2 through 7, dog kidneys were preserved for 24 hr using combined techniques. The percentage of Collins preservation included in each group was increased progressively until, in Group 7, Collins alone was used. Contralateral nephrectomies were performed at the time of autotransplantation. Between 4 and 8 dogs survived in each group, yielding 43 6-week survivors. Sixty-six per cent of group 7 animals and greater than 90% of animals in other groups survived 6 weeks after transplantation. Average creatinine and blood urea nitrogen values on days 3,7, and 42 showed a progressive increase in kidney damage from groups 1 through 7. As the percentage of time the kidneys were subjected to Collins preservation was increased, the quality of kidney preservation decreased in a progressive manner. This study suggests that Belzer and Collins techniques can be combined, but superior preservation was obtained when the majority of preservation was on the Belzer apparatus.

Prevalence of hemophilia in Ontario, 1966.

Records of admission to general hospitals throughout Ontario over a six-month period, together with an independently existing list of hemophiliacs known to the Canadian Haemophilia Society, furnish the basis for a statistical estimate of the prevalence of hemophilia in 1966. This is set at 1.44 or more per 10,000 males at birth. It is inferred from age-specific data that the prevalence among the general population may be rising beyond its present level of about 1 per 10,000 living males.

Different forms of p53 detected by monoclonal antibodies in non-dividing and dividing lymphocytes.

The commitment of non-dividing cells (in G0) to enter division can be studied using primary cultures of lymphocytes. The cells are stable in G0 unless stimulated by mitogen such as concanavalin A (Con A). Commitment to enter the division cycle depends on the expression of gene(s) induced by Con A and the synthesis of p53 protein correlates with this commitment step. I show here that in unstimulated cells, a second form of p53 is synthesized and is restricted to G0.
