Effects of halfway house placement on retention of patients in substance abuse aftercare.

One hundred twenty-four male veterans were enrolled in the Birmingham VAMC Outpatient Substance Abuse Clinic (OSAC) aftercare program following inpatient treatment for alcohol, cocaine, or mixed alcohol-cocaine abuse/dependence. Forty-two of the patients were concurrently admitted to a nearby halfway house (HH) while the remaining 82 patients made community-based (CB) living arrangements. Chi-square analysis showed the two groups were matched, p > .

Changes in fatty acid composition of various lipid components of Zygosaccharomyces rouxii as influenced by solutes, potassium sorbate and incubation temperature.

The effects of water activity (aw), solutes, potassium sorbate and incubation temperature on the fatty acid methyl ester composition of the total extracted lipid, triacylglycerol, phospholipid, free fatty acid and steryl ester components of Zygosaccharomyces rouxii were determined. Oleic (C18:1) and linoleic (C18:2) acids were the major components of the total fatty acid fraction, regardless of culturing conditions. Cells grown at 35 degrees C contained a significantly higher percentage of C18:1 and a lower percentage of C18:2 than did cells grown at 21 degrees C.

Recovery of short-term power after dynamic exercise.

The intensity of prior cycle ergometer exercise alters the pattern in recovery of maximal short-term power output (STPO). STPO was measured on an isokinetic dynamometer after 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, and 8 min of recovery. Immediately after exercise, STPO fell to 85, 75, 55, and 47% of preexercise values for prior exercise equivalent to 60, 80, 100, and 120% of maximal O2 uptake, respectively.

Effects of Sorbate, Benzoate, Sulfur Dioxide and Temperature on Growth and Patulin Production by Byssochlamys nivea in Grape Juice.

The influence of potassium sorbate, sodium benzoate, sulfur dioxide (SO) and temperature on biomass and patulin production by Byssochlamys nivea in grape juice was investigated. Growth of B. nivea was monitored over a 25-d incubation period at 21, 30 and 37°C.

The curve of Spee in Stone Age man.

The purpose of this research was to test Spee's predictions on a sample of skulls with well-worn occlusions. Thirty-nine Shell Mound Indian skulls with marked attrition of the teeth were x-rayed in the Margolis cephalostat. Following Spee's suggested landmarks, three curves were obtained which included the condyle.

Contributions of orthodontists to organized dentistry.

The first specialty board in dentistry has been celebrating its 50th anniversary. The need for the specialty and for presenting orthodontic diagnosis and classification at the undergraduate level remains. The orthodontic specialty has contributed an active source of leadership to all of dentistry and is proud to share in the common heritage of service to the public and in responsibility to the patient.

The cephalometric distinction of class II, division 2 malocclusion.

Forty-two cases of Class II, Division 2 malocclusions were selected on the basis of Strang's first six steps. There were nineteen male and twenty-three female patients in the study. The average age was 12.

Hepatitis-associated-antigen-positive hepatitis in a tuberculosis unit.

An outbreak of hepatitis-associated-antigen-(HB Ag)-positive hepatitis in a hospital unit for the care of male patients with pulmonary tuberculosis is described. Sixty-four patients were studied of whom 37 were HB Ag positive. Hepatitis developed in at least 20 and was icteric in 11.
