Antisecretory actions of aminophylline in the rat and dog.

The effect of aminophylline on gastric acid secretion has been studied in the rat and dog. Aminophylline was shown to possess antisecretory activity when given either by oral or parenteral administration in an acute gastric fistula rat preparation. In the chronic gastric fistula dog aminophylline at 50 mg/kg intragastrically induced a small but significant stimulation of basal acid secretion. This dose of aminophylline also significantly inhibited acid secretion induced by gastrin tetrapeptide, and 2-deoxy-D-glucose but did not block acid secretion induced by histamine.

Evaluation of histoplasmin for the presence of H and M antigens: some difficulties encountered in the production and evaluation of a product suitable for the immunodiffusion test.

The development of a single histoplasmin suitable for use in immunodiffusion testing of a variety of human histoplasmosis sera depends not only upon the presence of both antigens, but on relative concentration of one to the other, and perhaps on the chemical characteristics of the H and M antigens of a given strain.

Methods for projecting the incidence and prevalence of chronic diseases in aging populations: application to Alzheimer's disease.

Projections of the incidence and prevalence of disease are important for public health planning. This paper describes methods for projecting the incidence and prevalence of a chronic disease in ageing populations. The approach uses age-specific disease incidence rates together with assumptions about survival to reconstruct disease prevalence. The methods can be used to evaluate the potential impact of public health interventions that may prevent disease or prolong survival. We used the methods to project the future prevalence of Alzheimer's disease in the United States. We found that the prevalence of Alzheimer's disease will nearly quadruple over the next 50 years. Although projections of the absolute prevalence are sensitive to assumptions about the age-specific incidence rates of disease, the proportionate growth is relatively insensitive. The increase in prevalence results from the ageing of the U.S. population. In order to perform the calculations, we have assembled U.S. Census population projections and U.S. mortality rates into computer software that is available from the authors at www.jhsph.edu/Departments/Biostats/software.h tml.
