Adherence to a Mediterranean diet by vegetarians and vegans as compared to omnivores.

To assess adherence to the Mediterranean Diet (MedD) by vegetarians and vegans compared to omnivores, we recruited an internet-based convenience sample of 565, 151 and 514 Israeli (>20 years) vegans, vegetarians and omnivores. Studies assessing vegetarians' and vegans' adherence to the Mediterranean Diet (MedD) are scarce. We recruited an internet-based convenience sample of 565, 151 and 514 Israeli vegans, vegetarians and omnivores, mostly female with a normal weight.

Brugada-type patterns are easily observed in high precordial lead ECGs in collegiate athletes.

Background: Displacement of ECG leads can result in unwarranted findings. We assessed the frequency of Brugada-type patterns in athletes when precordial leads were purposely placed upward.

Methods: Four hundred ninety-one collegiate athletes underwent two ECGs: one with standard leads, one with V1 and V2 along the 2nd intercostal space.

Treatment planning for carcinoma of the cervix: a patterns of care study report.

Carcinoma of the cervix: patterns of care studies: review of 1978, 1983, and 1988-1989 surveys.

Purpose: A review of the Patterns of Care Studies Process Survey data on carcinoma of the cervix conducted on patients in 1978, 1983, and 1988-89 was carried out to identify changes or trends in the demographics, evaluation, and treatment that might have occurred over this time period.

Long-term results of treatment of cervical carcinoma in the United States in 1973, 1978, and 1983: Patterns of Care Study (PCS).

Purpose: To extend the observations of patients with carcinoma of the cervix treated in 1973 for over 15 years, in 1978 for over 10 years, and in 1983 for over 5 years for survival and local control to compare treatment times and outcome.

Methods And Materials: A nationwide survey of the patterns of practice in radiation therapy for patients with squamous carcinoma of the cervix collected pretreatment and treatment data using external surveyors who reviewed patients' records. Outcome information was updated for the three separate databases by mail survey.
