The association of childhood height, leg length and other measures of skeletal growth with adult cardiovascular disease
BACKGROUND: Taller adults have a reduced risk of cardiovascular disease, and there is some evidence that pre-adolescent exposures, indexed by leg length, underlie this association. Associations with other aspects of skeletal size in childhood have not previously been investigated. METHODS: We have examined associations of cardiovascular mortality and morbidity with childhood height, shoulder breadth, leg, trunk and foot length using a cohort of c…
P1-490 Socioeconomic inequalities in height, leg length and trunk length among children aged 6.5 years and their parents from the Republic of Belarus
Introduction Lower socioeconomic position is associated with shorter stature, in particular shorter leg length, but the magnitude of these associations in non-Western countries has received little attention. Aim To examine socioeconomic differentials in height, leg and trunk length in 6.5 year olds from the Republic of Belarus and compare these to differentials in parental height. Methods We used data from a cohort of 13 889 children born in Bela…
Causal effects of COX-2 selective inhibitors relative to non-selective non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs on gastrointestinal bleeding and acute myocardial infarction
Objective To compare ordinary least squares (OLS) and instrumental variable (IV) estimates of the effects of COX-2 selective inhibitor non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (COX-2s) relative to non-selective NSAIDs (non-selectives) on incidence of gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding, and acute myocardial infarction (MI). We test the validity of the IV estimates, and compare to estimates from randomised controlled trials (RCTs). Design Cohort study usi…
Do gastrointestinal tract infections in infancy increase blood pressure in childhood? A cohort study
BACKGROUND: It has been hypothesised that dehydration in infancy could permanently increase sodium retention, raising blood pressure in later life. In this study, the association between gastrointestinal tract infection in infancy, a clinically relevant exposure often accompanied by dehydration, and raised blood pressure in childhood was investigated. METHODS: Data from a cohort study nested within a cluster-randomised trial of breastfeeding prom…
Adjusting misclassification of outcome in case-control studies
Objective Misclassification of outcome may cause biased estimation for associations of potential risk factors with important diseases. For example, case-control studies of localised prostate cancer frequently measure blood levels of circulating prostate specific antigen (PSA) in healthy men and biopsy those with an elevated level. Inevitably, some men with prostate cancer will be misclassified as controls, either because they do not have an eleva…
P09 The association of weight gain during adulthood with prostate cancer incidence and survival
Obese men appear to have an increased risk of being diagnosed with advanced prostate cancer and of dying from the disease. Few studies have examined the impact of weight gain during adulthood on prostate cancer risk and mortality. We analysed data from 20 991 Norwegian men who participated in two phases of the Nord-Trøndelag Health Study in 1984/1986 (HUNT-1, when aged at least 20 years) and 1995/1997 (HUNT-2). Weight and height were measured at …
Is accelerated postnatal growth associated with blood pressure in childhood
Objective: To investigate whether variations in growth patterns in early-life are associated with blood pressure at age 6.5 years by modelling detailed, individual growth trajectories between birth and 5 years of age. Design: Prospective cohort study nested in a large randomised trial. Setting: Belarus. Participants: 10 494 children from Belarus who were born in one of 31 hospitals that participated in a cluster randomised trial of breastfeeding …
Comparison of the associations of BMI and measures of regional adiposity with coronary heart disease, diabetes and all cause mortality
Objective: To compare magnitudes of association of BMI and measures of regional adiposity with coronary heart disease, diabetes and all-cause mortality. Design: 2 prospective cohort and 2 cross sectional studies. Participants: Members of 4 UK cohorts aged >45 years: 3937 women from the British Women's Heart and Health Study (BWHHS), 2367 and 1950 men from phases 1 and 3 of the Caerphilly Prospective Study (CaPS), 403 men and women from Boyd Orr, …
Mortality and morbidity surrounding coronary artery bypass surgery and the public presentation of risk
Deaths of patients on the waiting list for coronary artery bypass surgery are often presented by the media to the public and politicians as evidence of the remediable failure of health care.1 The assumption that many lives would be saved by more timely intervention is over-simplistic and takes no account of three important observations. Firstly, for approximately one third of low risk patients the principal reason for performing coronary artery b…
The Actu Congress of 1989
When the biennial congress opened in the Sydney Town Hall on Monday, 25 September, only 100 affiliated unions were represented, as against the 142 that had attended the preceding congress.1 The number grew to 114 on the second day, and eventually reached 120; while a grand total of 815 delegates (934 in 1987) was officially recorded.2 The contrast with 1987 testified to the impact of the airline pilots' dispute that had crippled domestic air serv…
The Actu Congress of 1987
The congress marking the ACTU's 60th anniversary opened in Melbourne on Monday, September 7, with an attendance of 934 delegates holding a total of 1,250 votes.1 It was the first congress presided over by S. Crean, the fourth full-time president in the ACTU's history. Another unique feature was the great attention devoted in its proceedings to coherent planning for the medium and long-term future. Like the preceding congress which had elected Mr …
The Actu Congress of 1985
The biennial congress that opened in Sydney Town Hall on Monday, September 9, was attended by 974 delegates holding a total of 1,258 votes.1 It was a congress that roundly endorsed a renewal of the Prices and Incomes Accord for a further two years. It was a congress that elected a new president, the fourth since the presidency was made a full-time position in 1949. It was a congress that displayed a quite extraordinary unity. It was also a congre…
The Actu Congress of 1983
The biennial congress that opened in Melbourne on Monday, Sep tember 12, was attended by 845 delegates holding a total of 1,164 votes.1 It will probably be remembered by most as the first biennial congress to endorse a formal wages restraint policy, and the first at which a woman was elected to the ACTU's executive body. One other obvious distinction is that the man whose personality for a decade dominated congress pro ceedings (if not always its…

The Actu Congress of 1981
The first biennial congress held since R. J. Hawke relinquished the ACTU presidency in September 1980 opened in Sydney on Monday, 7 September, under the chairmanship of the new president, C. O. Dolan. The delegates, numbering 827, held a total of 1,110 votes.1 It was a notably quiet congress which, as one delegate put it on the Friday, left 'no blood on the floor'?in stark contrast with Mr. Hawke's last con gress.2 This, however, is not to say th…

On Stevenson's If-Iculties
Professor Stevenson's valuable paper [5] calls attention to a number of discrepancies between ‘if’ in English and its usual translation into the horseshoe of material implication. “This is not a reason for distrusting the horseshoe,” he notes, “which is useful so long as it is taken to mean just what it is defined to mean; and it is not a reason for distrusting our English if's, which in spite of their ambiguities are indispensable to our daily d…

On Theoretical Constructs and Ramsey Constants
The method of Ramsey sentences has been proposed for handling theoretical constructs within a scientific system. Essentially it consists of constructing a certain “monolithic” sentence for an entire theory. In this present paper several improvements are suggested which help to overcome some of the awkward features of the method. In particular we have here many Ramsey sentences rather than just one, each erstwhile primitive theoretical term giving…

On maximum logical candor and extensionality
Toward a logic of intentions
Performance, Purpose, and Permission
In this paper we attempt to formulate logical foundations for a theory of actions or performance. Human beings act in various ways, and their actions are intimately interrelated with their use of language. But precisely how actions and the use of language are interrelated is not very clear. One of the reasons is perhaps that we have no precise vocabulary in terms of which such interrelations may be handled. There is need for developing a systemat…

On the Frege-Church Theory of Meaning
Meaning and Necessity, A Study in Semantics and Modal Logic
This book is valuable as expounding in full a theory of meaning that has its roots in the work of Frege and has been of the widest influence. . . . The chief virtue of the book is its systematic character. From Frege to Quine most philosophical logicians have restricted themselves by piecemeal and local assaults on the problems involved. The book is marked by a genial tolerance. Carnap sees himself as proposing conventions rather than asserting t…
