Effects of human and experimental cancer on the conversion of 14C tripalmitin to 14CO2.

14C Tripalmitin was administered intraperitoneally to control mice and to mice bearing subcutaneous Krebs-2 carcinoma. The rate of excretion of 14CO2 was studied. The presence of a tumor induced a greater than 80% suppression of the formation of 14CO2 within 24 hours from the implantation of the tumor, thus allowing unambiguous identification of the tumor-bearing mice. When cancer patients were studied, along with normal volunteers and patients with non-neoplastic diseases, 14CO2 excretion data could be used to identify the cancer patients with an overall accuracy of 84%.

[The perception of physical performance in different work conditions (author's transl)].

Borg's RPE method was used by the authors to evaluate physical performance of healthy subjects during exercise tests performed either in the night or daytime and involving different muscle masses (upper and lower limbs). The reliability of RPE scale was confirmed. The perception of physical performance appeared to be higher in the night-time and when upper limbs were involved.
