Early life social incongruities, health risk factors and chronic disease
(Elsevier, 1977-04)
This study tested specific hypotheses concerned with the relationships between three early life stress variables occurring between 0 and 16 yr of age and a variety of adult health status measures ascertained some 20-60 yr ...
Development and characterization of cold-adapted viruses for use as live virus vaccines
(Elsevier, 1985-12)
Representative viruses from twelve RNA and two DNA virus genera have been successfully adapted to growth at sub-optimal temperature (cold-adapted). In almost every case, there was a correlation between acquisition of the ...
Syndrome X: Is it for real?

The term syndrome X has been applied to the association of hypertension, non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM), android obesity, insulin resistance, and dyslipidemia. In this paper, based on population samples ...
Familial occurrence of chronic respiratory disease and familial resemblance in ventilatory capacity
(Elsevier, 1975-04)
One of the main hypotheses of the Tecumseh Study is that no matter whether genetic, constitutional or environmental factors are involved, new cases of disease will occur among family members of affected persons. During the ...
Identification of sequence changes in the cold-adapted, live attenuated influenzavaccine strain, A/Ann Arbor/6/60 (H2N2)
(Elsevier, 1988-12)
Nucleotide sequences have been obtained for RNA segments encoding the 13132, P131, PA, NP, M1, M2, NS1, and NS2 proteins of the influenza A/Ann Arbor/6/60 (H2N2) wild-type (wt) virus and its cold-adapted (ca) derivative ...
Genome-wide linkage scan for prostate cancer susceptibility genes in men with aggressive disease: significant evidence for linkage at chromosome 15q12
(Springer-Verlag, 2006-05)
Epidemiological and twin studies have consistently demonstrated a strong genetic component to prostate cancer (PCa) susceptibility. To date, numerous linkage studies have been performed to identify chromosomal regions ...
Modeling and analyzing HIV transmission: the effect of contact patterns
(Elsevier, 1988-12)
A compartmental model is presented for the spread of HIV in a homosexual population divided into subgroups by degree of sexual activity. The model includes constant recruitment rates for the susceptibles in the subgroups. ...
Heredity, stress and blood pressure, a family set method--I : Study aims and sample flow
(Elsevier, 1977-10)
This first article, in a series of five, describes the method of sampling family sets. Family sets are composed of three persons having a genetic relation: an index, his/her sibling and first cousin, and two persons having ...

A sampling of 49 family clusters consisting of a key person with arthritis, his spouse, a sibling and the sibling's spouse, 2 cousins and an unrelated individual have been interviewed 3 times with regard to their arthritis ...
A family set method for estimating heredity and stress--I : A pilot survey of blood pressure among Negroes in high and low stress areas, Detroit, 1966-1967
(Elsevier, 1970-08)
A pilot survey designed to test the feasibility of measuring genetic and stress variables as they relate to blood pressure levels was carried out among Negroes residing in high and low stress census tracts in Detroit, ...
