Applications for Research Concerning Fetal or Placental Tissue and Expected Institutional Review Board Responses
Proposals for research concerning fetal and/or placental tissue may be refused institutional review board (IRB) review, effectively preventing the research from occurring. We conducted an anonymous electronic survey of IRB chairs to determine their assessment of the likely response to research projects using fetal/placental tissue obtained from various procedures. We found that proposals concerning tissue obtained from diagnostic procedures or mi…

Aplastic anemia in rural Thailand
OBJECTIVES: A population-based case-control study was conducted to elucidate the incidence and etiology of aplastic anemia in Thailand. METHODS: Case patients and hospital control patients were enrolled in three regions from 1989 to 1994; data were collected by interview. RESULTS: Forty-six percent of 81 case patients and 19% of 295 control patients from Khonkaen were grain farmers (estimated relative risk [RR] = 2.7, 95% confidence interval [CI]…
Breast cancer and oral contraceptive use
The risk of breast cancer in relation to oral contraceptive use was evaluated in a case-control study of 1191 patients with breast cancer and 5026 control patients. For ever-use compared with never-use, the estimated relative risk of breast cancer was 1.0 (95% confidence interval 0.9-1.2). Use of oral contraceptives for five or more years was not associated with breast cancer, regardless of whether use had ended as much as 10 or more years previo…
Aspirin and myocardial infarction in young women
To assess whether aspirin reduces the risk of a first myocardial infarction (MI) in young women, we evaluated data from a case-control study among women less than 50 years of age without a prior MI: 48 of 551 cases of MI and 67 of 896 hospital controls had taken aspirin regularly for at least 12 weeks immediately before admission. The relative risk estimate was 0.8 upon allowance for confounding factors but it was not statistically significant (9…
Alcoholic beverages and myocardial infarction in young women
Moderate alcohol consumption has been associated with a reduction in the risk of myocardial infarction (MI) in men. To evaluate this relation in young women, we studied 513 patients with first infarctions and 918 hospital controls, all of whom were less than 50 years of age. The estimated relative risk of MI for current drinkers, after allowance for potential confounding factors, was 0.7 (95 per cent confidence interval. 0.5 - 1.0), and the appar…
Hartz, et al, Respond
Also, almost 90 per cent of the hospital sample was from the Northeast region, where oral contraceptive use was less common than in other re- gions; in the 1973 NSFG, for example, 21.5 per cent of married women in the Northeast were using the pill, com- pared with 26.0 per cent in the other re- gions
Factors associated with oral contraceptive use
We studied factors associated with oral contraceptive (OC) use among 1,855 premenopausal women who were admitted to hospital with conditions unrelated to OC use. Among this group, 15 per cent reported having used OCs within the preceding year and 35 per cent reported having last used them more than a year previously. A higher estrogenic dose (more than 60 micrograms) was reported by past users; the relationship of numerous other variables to past…
Cigarette smoking and age at natural menopause
In a cohort of 656 naturally postmenopausal women who were interviewed at age 60 to 69 years, and was had reached their menopause between the ages of 35 and 59 years, the mean age at menopause declined with increasing number of cigarettes smoked, from 49.4 years of age among women who had never smoked to 47.6 years of age among women who smoked at least 15 cigarettes per day (p less than 0.02). The relationship was not attributable to the onset o…
