X. Lamb and veal. Comprehensive evaluation of fatty acids in foods.

As a result of critical review of information on lipid composition of foods, representative values have been derived for the lipid and fatty acid contents of lamb and veal. Comprehensive tabulations of fatty acids in 100-gm. portions of raw and cooked retail cuts are given. The mean fatty acid profiles of the lean and adipose tissues which were used for computing the fatty acid values in the food tables are presented. The lean tissue lipid of lamb contains a significant amount of caprylic, arachidic, and arachidonic acids which are not present in the adipose tissue. A comparison of beef and veal shows that veal lipid is a richer source of polyunsaturated fatty acids. The new values presented here for fatty acids in lamb and veal should provide nutritionists and dietitians better means for evaluating diets.

Comprehensive evaluation of fatty acids in foods. VII. Pork products.

To derive food table values of fatty acid composition, a comprehensive review was made of the literature available since 1960 on the lipid composition of pork products. Factors affecting pork lipid composition are discussed. Diet of the animal was found to have a major influence. Few significant differences were found in the grams fatty acid per 100 gm. fat of meat from the areas of the loin, belly, leg, and shoulder. Mean fatty acid distributions were derived for the separable lean and separable fat of pork. Methods of converting literature data into units suitable for food table purposes are briefly described. Tables of fatty acids per 100 gm. fat are given for brains, heart, kidney and liver, and for the lean and fat portions of pork cuts. The tables show that on a grams-per-100-gm. -fat basis, these four organ meats contain less total fatty acids and are richer sources of polyunsaturated fatty acids than are skeletal muscle or adipose tissue. Tabulations are also given for fatty acids in 100-gm. portions of raw and cooked pork cuts, sausages, luncheon meats, variety meats, and three popular sausages made with beef and pork meat.

Comprehensive evaluation of fatty acids in foods. II. Beef products.

An estensive survey of the literature on lipids of beef covering the past fouteen years revealed that a number of factors, such as sex, age, and diet of animal, and analytical method, can affect the lipid content and fatty acid composition of beef. The feeding regimen of the animal was a factor considered in evaluating data for the food table. Extraction method was important in assessing information on lean tissue lipids. Statistical analysis showed that fatty acid patterns for the separable fat and separable lean of various meat cuts were not significantly different at the 5 per cent level. Cooking by dry or moist heat has little effect on relative fatty acid composition. Methods for converting methyl ester data into per cent composition of fatty acids in the meat cut are presented. A comprehensive table of fatty acids per 100 gm. separable lean, separable fet, and total edible portions of Choice grade cuts of beef is given, as well as a table acids per 100 gm. fat for lean and adipose tissues.

An orthopaedic workshop and skills laboratory.

Planning and implementing care for patients with musculoskeletal disorders can be intimidating for nursing students. Moreover, changes in health care delivery often limit the opportunities students will have to learn skills and participate in the care of a patient in need of these services. This article describes the development of an orthopaedic workshop and skills laboratory which provides hands-on learning experience in a nonthreatening environment. The teaching strategy uses the collaborative resources of health care providers, allowing the student to be introduced to the care of orthopaedic patients from admission to discharge.

Trends in mortality of the Soviet population.

A review of current mortality trends in the Soviet Union is presented. "Discussed are variations (by republic and over time) in life expectancy, infant mortality, and mortality in the working ages. Analyzing trends since 1959, the authors highlight problems relating to the quality and interpretation of pertinent statistical data of Soviet origin. Distinguishing real trends from pseudotrends, they evaluate mortality differences among regions and illustrate a more favorable long-term trend in mortality than suggested by official figures...."

Utilization statistics and diagnostic accuracy of a nonhospital-based positron emission tomography center for the detection of coronary artery disease using rubidium-82.

A retrospective analysis has been carried out to determine utilization and diagnostic accuracy of positron emission tomography of the heart with rubidium-82 at a nonhospital-based center. Utilization statistics were derived for the first 27 months of operation of the center from a total of 1,670 patients scanned. Diagnostic accuracy for detection of coronary artery disease was assessed using three readers, blinded to the clinical information, who read 225 rest and dipyridamole-stress scans of patients that had a coronary angiogram. Utilization statistics show that the center averaged 64 patients per month, 66% were males, 38% of the patients scanned had a coronary angiogram, 25% had a history of myocardial infarction, 12% had coronary artery bypass graft surgery, and 18% had percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty. Sensitivity was 82%, 96%, and 100% for myocardial regions perfused with greater than 67%, 84%, and 100% diameter stenosis, respectively. Specificity was 91% for all normal regions of the heart. Accuracy was 89%, 93%, and 93% for regions with greater than 67%, 84%, and 100% diameter stenosis, respectively. These results compare well with published results from major hospital based centers.
