  • Cumulative Risk of Guillain–Barré Syndrome Among Vaccinated and Unvaccinated Populations During the 2009 H1N1 Influenza Pandemic

    Claudia Vellozzi, Shahed Iqbal et al.ARTICLEAmerican Journal of Public Health2014References: 28

    Objectives. We sought to assess risk of Guillain–Barré syndrome (GBS) among influenza A (H1N1) 2009 monovalent (pH1N1) vaccinated and unvaccinated populations at the end of the 2009 pandemic. Methods. We applied GBS surveillance data from a US population catchment area of 45 million from October 15, 2009, through May 31, 2010. GBS cases meeting Brighton Collaboration criteria were included. We calculated the incidence density ratio (IDR) among pH…

  • The association of peripheral arterial disease with hostility in a young, healthy veteran population

    M R Joesoef, Scott Wetterhall et al.ARTICLEPsychosomatic Medicine1989

    The association of peripheral arterial disease (PAD) with hostility, a component of Type A behavior, has not been investigated. Previous studies have found an association between coronary arterial disease and hostility. We used Doppler tests to define PAD as consisting of a resting index less than 0.9, absence of posterior tibial waveform, or presence of a femoral bruit. Among 4,462 male veterans, the prevalence and odds ratio of PAD increased st…

  • Long-term Risk of Menstrual Disturbances after Tubal Sterilization

    Frank DeStefano, Jeffrey A Perlman et al.ARTICLEStudies in Family Planning1986

    We analyzed data from the Walnut Creek Contraceptive Drug Study to compare the menstrual characteristics of 719 women who had tubal sterilizations and 1083 women whose partners had undergone a vasectomy. Study participants were enrolled from 1968 to 1972 and followed up through 1976. The tubal sterilization group had slightly increased, though in most instances not statistically significant, risks of moderate to severe menstrual cramps and advers…

  • Menstrual Changes after Tubal Sterilization

    Frank DeStefano, Carlos M Huezo et al.ARTICLEStudies in Family Planning1984

    The authors used data from a multicenter prospective study of female sterilization surgery to study changes in menstrual function following tubal sterilization. Duration of menstrual bleeding, menstrual cycle length, cycle regularity, amount of menstrual bleeding, menstrual pain, and intermenstrual bleeding were examined. The authors followed 2456 women for two years after tubal sterilization surgery. Each woman served as her own control; her men…

  • Mortality among young black women using contraceptives

    Howard W Ory, George L Rubin et al.ARTICLEStudies in Family Planning1984

    Data on the risk of death associated with various contraceptive methods are incomplete. Therefore, we analyzed the mortality rates for young, black inner-city women who used one of four methods of contraception—oral contraceptives, depomedroxyprogesterone acetate, intrauterine (contraceptive) devices, and barrier methods. The subjects were 30,580 15-to 44-year-old women who enrolled at a family planning clinic between 1967 and 1972 and who were o…

  • Demographic trends in tubal sterilization

    Frank DeStefano, J R Greenspan et al.ARTICLEAmerican Journal of Public Health1982References: 2

    In the period 1970-1977, an estimated 4,236,000 women 15-44 years of age had tubal sterilization operations in United States hospitals. Both the number and the rate of tubal sterilizations increased each year from 1970-1977, but in 1978 both declined. Tubal sterilization rates for Black women were higher than for White women. Black women also tended to be younger at the time of tubal sterilization. For the nation as a whole, the mean age at the t…
