The 1717 eruption of Volcán de Fuego, Guatemala
Heat and drought extremes likely to stress ecosystem productivity equally or more in a warmer, CO 2 rich future
Reduced carbon uptake caused by recent heat and drought extremes raises concerns about biospheric feedbacks that amplify global warming. However, elevated carbon dioxide is expected to boost terrestrial ecosystem productivity over the 21st century, potentially alleviating some of the adverse carbon impacts of climate extremes. Using CMIP5 earth system model (ESM) results, Ian Williams and colleagues (2014 Environ. Res. Lett. 9 094011) find that t…
Terrestrial Gross Carbon Dioxide Uptake
Carbon Cycle and Climate Change As climate change accelerates, it is important to know the likely impact of climate change on the carbon cycle (see the Perspective by Reich ). Gross primary production (GPP) is a measure of the amount of CO 2 removed from the atmosphere every year to fuel photosynthesis. Beer et al. (p. 834 , published online 5 July) used a combination of observation and calculation to estimate that the total GPP by terrestrial pl…
Recent decline in the global land evapotranspiration trend due to limited moisture supply
Improvement in intergenerational health
Differences in health status between subjects, their parents, and their children were analyzed in 2206 subjects who had attended the University of Pennsylvania during the 1939 to 1940 school year. Subjects compared their overall health status at the average age of 70 with that of their same-sex parent at the same age and with that of their same-sex child at the approximate average age of 45, providing reasons for reported differences. Thus, healt…
The Nursing Minimum Data Set
The Edgecombe County High Blood Pressure Control Program
In a hypertension prevalence survey of a stratified random sample of 1,000 households, 2,030 adults (aged 18 years and over) were interviewed and information on psychosocial variables collected. Among 359 hypertensives, there was a consistent relationship between indicators of difficulty in the social environment and dropout from treatment in women. Compared to those who remained in treatment, women who dropped out can be characterized as having …
Supports, stressors, and depressive symptoms in low-income mothers of young children
We investigated the association of social supports and stresses with depressive symptoms in a sample of 111 predominantly low-income mothers of young children. The prevalence of high depressive symptoms, as measured by the Center for Epidemiologic Studies--Depression Scale (CES-D), was 48 per cent. Among unmarried women, everyday stressors were strongly associated with depressive symptoms, while life events were weakly related. Associations betwe…
The Edgecombe County (NC) High Blood Pressure Control Program
As the initial step in a five-year project to improve control of high blood pressure in Edgecombe County, North Carolina, a survey was conducted in 1980 to determine the prevalence of hypertension and to identify factors which might constitute barriers to the use of medical care by hypertensives. This report summarizes the findings for the 539 hypertensives identified through the baseline survey. In general, Black hypertensives reported more acce…
The Edgecombe County High Blood Pressure Control Program
To guide the planning of a multifacetted hypertension control program in Edgecombe County, North Carolina, a baseline survey of a stratified (by township) random sample of 1,000 households was conducted. All adults (greater than or equal to 18 years) were interviewed and had their blood pressures (BP) measured. Five hundred thirty-nine individuals, 27 per cent of the survey population, had diastolic BP greater than or equal to 90 mm Hg or were re…
A method for selecting criteria to evaluate medical care
This study tests a questionnaire method for eliciting process criteria for medical care appraisal. The questionnaire was sent to national samples of family physicians, pediatricians, and pediatricians specializing in infectious diseases asking their opinions about various clinical actions in 125 clinical situations concerning respiratory infection in infants. Five hundred twenty-four (54%) physicians returned completed questionnaires. Questionnai…
