Women's receptivity to testing for a genetic susceptibility to breast cancer
Four hundred eighty-four patients undergoing mammography and 498 patients visiting their obstetrician-gynecologist were asked whether they would take a breast cancer 1 (BRCA1) test to detect a genetic susceptibility to breast cancer. More than 90% in both groups said they would take the test. Women were more likely to accept if they were regularly having breast examinations by a physician, believed that mammography effectively detects early breas…
Feasibility of large-scale cholesterol screening
We conducted a voluntary cholesterol screening in a medical/occupational setting using the Eastman Kodak Ektachem (desk top) blood analyzer. In 10 hours, five technicians performed a finger-stick puncture on 1,081 screenees, 17.7 per cent of whom were classified as moderate-to-high risk. The cost per screenee was under $3; cost per moderate-to-high risk case was under $16. Turn-around time from check-in to report of result was under one hour. Thi…
Hospitalization as an Opportunity to Improve Hypertension Recognition and Control
Hospitalization may afford an excellent opportunity to maximize recognition and control of the hypertensive patient and ensure medical follow-up. We reviewed records of 536 medical or surgical patients consecutively admitted to a university hospital to assess trends in hypertension-related medical care according to guidelines established by the 1984 report of the Joint National Committee (JNC III) on Hypertension Detection, Treatment, and Control…
