Strategies to Reduce Alcohol-Exposed Pregnancies
Strategies to Reduce Alcohol-Exposed Pregnancies
In addition to the adverse effects of alcohol on the fetus, alcohol use can leads to other adverse effects on the health of women including reproductive health conditions that are not addressed in this brief. Though the approaches mentioned here are primarily aimed at reduction of prenatal alcohol-related pregnancies, any reduction in hazardous alcohol consumption among women will add to improvements in the general health of women. Multiple feder…
Violence Exposure, Trauma, and IQ and/or Reading Deficits Among Urban Children
BACKGROUND: Exposure to violence in childhood has been associated with lower school grades. However, the association between violence exposure and performance on standardized tests (such as IQ or academic achievement) in children is unknown. It is also not known whether violence exposure itself or subsequent symptoms of trauma are primarily responsible for negative outcomes. OBJECTIVE: To examine the relationship between violence exposure and tra…
Genetic variation in the East Midlands
According to history, the population of the British Isles derives its genepool from a succession of invaders and immigrants. The settlement pattern of these invaders gave rise to a patchwork of genepools, shown in previous genetic surveys. Specimens from 1117 blood donors of regionally subdivided East Midlands (Derbyshire, Nottinghamshire and Leicestershire) were analysed for 18 conventional genetic systems (blood groups, serum proteins and red c…
Detecting risk drinking during pregnancy
OBJECTIVES: This study investigated the efficacy of screening for risk drinking during pregnancy with two brief questionnaires, TWEAK and T-ACE. Both include an assessment of tolerance based on the number of drinks women report they can hold. METHODS: Subjects were disadvantaged African-American obstetric patients in Detroit, Mich. Traditional alcoholism screens (Michigan Alcohol Screening Test [MAST], CAGE) and the tolerance question were admini…

Immunological Detection of Albumin in Ancient Human Cremations using Elisa and Monoclonal Antibodies
Immunological diagnosis of multiple myeloma in a medieval bone
An inhibition enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay using monoclonal antibodies has been used to confirm the diagnosis of IgA type multiple myeloma in a small fragment (< 10 g) of cranium from a medieval female. Further testing by sodium dodecyl sulphate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and immunoblotting showed that the IgA was mainly polymeric, suggesting that the individual would have suffered from a hyperviscosity syndrome. This is the first ti…
Blood residues on stone tools
Three series of bloodstained flakes and bones were buried in soil out of doors, retrieved month by month, and tested using a sensitive and specific ELISA with monoclonal antibodies to see if any human albumin or IgG, or bovine albumin, could be detected. A few tests were positive, including a scraper examined after twelve months' burial, but many were negative. A fourth series of bloodstained flakes kept in laboratory conditions tested highly pos…
Reliable identification of human albumin in ancient bone using Elisa and monoclonal antibodies
In order to help reconstruct ancient dietary, domestic, and ritual behaviour, a method was developed to identify the blood protein albumin in ancient skeletal material. This was an inhibition enzyme‐linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) using a monoclonal antibody of IgG class against human albumin. With fresh material, the technique gave consistent and specific results and could detect as little as 10 ng of albumin. Extracts of bone from the Englis…
Detection of blood proteins in ancient human bone using Elisa
The immunological identification of species-specific blood proteins in skeletal remains has an important role in the reconstruction of ancient dietary, ritual and domestic behaviour. However, which protein provides the most suitable target for such work has not been considered previously, and the present investigation was carried out on human bone to assess the relative merits of IgG and albumin.Extracts of bone from 31 individuals (from the Engl…

Unplanned Parenthood
Power Orientation and McCarthyism
This report of a 1958 survey in a New England city supports earlier studies showing that McCarthysim was related to socioeconomic status, religion, and party preference. The basic objective, however, is to present data which support the proposition that one of the common cross-strata variables associated with McCarthyism was a commitment or receptive attitude to the use of power. There is a general confirmation of this idea with four different in…
Emotional Adjustment, Social Organization and Psychiatric Treatment Rates
Mexican society are reflected in the measures of the behaviorial intent of otherwise comparable Anglo-American and Mexican subjects. The marginal Mexican-Americans, though still influenced by their parent culture, tend to favor the universalistic value orientation of the country in which they now work and live, and within whose status structure they now function. The pattern of results also indicates that particularistic individuals tend to be al…
Social Norms in Television-Watching
Research has shown an inverse relationship between enthusiasm for television-watching and social class. In pursuit of the hypothesis that a normative factor constitutes a partial explanation for this pattern, several techniques for judging normativeness are discussed and discarded for an indirect method. The extent to whic autistic perception occurs in respect to the behavior of positive reference groups indicates a mild taboo in the middle class…
