Levels and temporal trends of trace element concentrations in vertebral bone.
An X-ray fluorescence analysis study of iron, zinc, rubidium, strontium, and lead in ashed vertebral column whole bone samples of 51 sudden death victims in Western Australia gave median values of 893, 213, 25, 108, and 25 ppm, respectively. Highly significant concentration-age Spearman correlations were observed for iron-age (rs = 0.45, P less than .004), Zn-age (0.43, P less than .006), and lead-age (0.63, P less than .001), the mean per annum rates of increase being 26, 0.4, and 0.8 ppm, respectively, and marked concentration-concentration correlations were found for iron-lead (0.44, P less than .003) and strontium (0.30, P less than .06). The median zinc concentrations for the male and female subsets are 216 and 205 ppm, respectively; the corresponding values for strontium are 100 and 120 ppm.

Family practice residents' compliance with preventive medicine recommendations.
We conducted a medical records survey of 270 randomly selected patients 20 years of age or older seen by family practice residents in a university-based training program. This study concerned residents' compliance with certain preventive recommendations made by four expert groups: the American Cancer Society, the Canadian Task Force on the Periodic Health Examination, the Immunization Practices Advisory Committee, and the National Institutes of Health Consensus Development Conference on treating elevated cholesterol. The interventions studied were breast examination, mammography, pelvic examination, Pap testing, digital rectal examination, stool guaiac slide testing, serum cholesterol screening, and pneumococcal and influenza vaccinations. We calculated the percentage of eligible patients receiving each of these interventions. The highest rates of resident compliance with health screening recommendations were for Pap testing in women 20-34 and 35-59 years of age (31.7% and 22.6%, respectively), breast examination in women 20-39 years of age (27.3%), and influenza vaccination (23.0%). There were no other rates of compliance that exceeded 20%. Our data thus indicate that residents in this program did not comply well with health maintenance recommendations.
