Blood alcohol levels in urban adolescents.

Information on alcohol use was collected during a survey of dietary intake and energy expenditure of fifteen year olds. Drinking habits of children from solo parent families were little different from those in two parent families. Thirty-two percent of the girls and 26% of the boys said they never drank. Mothers of non-drinkers were twice as likely to be full-time homemakers than mothers of drinkers. Blood alcohol levels were calculated from reported alcohol consumption. While most subjects drank sensibly, a group did not. Most weekends 7% of all girls and 22% of all boys drank sufficient liquor to give them blood alcohol levels over the legal limit. Boys in this group had a mean energy intake and expenditure 30% higher than the rest.

Common groin eruptions: diagnosis and treatment.

Most common groin lesions are caused by fungi, bacteria, psychogenic factors, viruses, parasites, or tumors. The workup of all patients with an inguinal skin disorder should include a history, physical examination, microscopic examination and culture of scrapings from the eruption, and examination of the eruption by Wood's light. Agents useful in treating groin lesions include topical and systemic corticosteroids and antibiotics, antipruritic agents, Burow's solution, and lindane. Prolonged use of high-potency topical corticosteroids can be deleterious.

Total body water volumes for adult males and females estimated from simple anthropometric measurements.

Individual total body water volumes for 458 adult males and 265 adult females obtained from dilution studies, together with their height, weight, and age have been selected from the literature. These values were used to derive total body water prediction equations for adults of any age. The equations that gave the best fit were for males: formula (see text) and for females: formula (see text). Numerous other linear regression equations to predict total body water from anthropometric measurements have been reported in the literature. Most apply only to restricted age groups. These, and the equations from the present study were tested on completely independent data. In all cases the equations from the present study gave the best overall results, though for women one equation designed for a specific age group, gave for that age group a marginally better fit.
