Amino acids and respiration.

Parenteral nutrition containing glucose and amino acids may stimulate respiration. To ascertain the effects of these solutions on respiration, eight normal subjects received an infusion of 5% dextrose (100 mL/h) for 7 days followed by an infusion of 3.5% amino acids (125 mL/h) for 24 hours. Minute ventilation (VE), tidal volume, mean inspiratory flow (VT/VI), oxygen consumption, and carbon dioxide production were significantly depressed after 7 days of 5% dextrose infusion. Ventilation and metabolic rate increased within 4 hours after initiation of the amino acid infusion and returned to normal 24 hours after the infusion. The effects of the amino acids on (VE) was secondary to an increase in (VT/VI), which is an indicator of neuromuscular ventilatory drive. Thus, within 4 hours amino acids will restore depressed metabolic rate, minute ventilation, and ventilatory drive after prolonged infusion of 5% dextrose.

A survey of heights and weights of adults in Great Britain, 1980.

A survey of the heights and weights of a sample representative of the adult population of Great Britain aged 16 to 64 years was conducted in 1980. At the same time a questionnaire was administered to everyone in the sample so that sub-groups could be identified and their measurements compared. Tables of the heights and weights by sex and age are given, including a breakdown of heights by social class. The mean height of 20-30-year-old men was 175.7 cm and of 20-30-year-old women 161.7 cm. The difference in heights in these age groups between men in social class I/II and in class IV/V was about 3 cm, in women about 2 cm. Tables of weight for height for each age group and each sex are presented; average height, weight and body mass index are also provided for different regions of Great Britain. Persons living in Wales are shorter than others; those living in Scotland are the second shortest group. Persons living in the south of England are around 1 cm taller than those living in the north.

Population estimates of height and weight in Great Britain at ages 11 and 15, 1983 and ages 16-19 inclusive, 1980.

Height and weight tables for adults in Great Britain were published in this journal in 1985. A similarly representative sample, at ages 11 and 15, has become available as the result of a survey of schoolchildren's diets. The opportunity has been taken of linking the results of the two surveys, both of which were conducted by the Office of Population Censuses and Surveys for the Department of Health and Social Security, using the same measuring techniques. Quetelet indices have been calculated for these data at each age, using a method that depends only on knowing the means and standard deviations of the heights and weights, and on their covariance. Limits are derived within which 95% and 80% of the populations lie.

Civil rights in a changing health care system.

Title VI of the 1964 Civil Rights Act prohibits discriminatory conduct by recipients of federal financial assistance. The law has been used in the past to challenge discrimination in health care. The evolution of the health care system from fee-for-service to managed care holds much promise for minority persons, who historically have faced serious, extensively documented barriers to health care access. However, managed care providers, like their fee-for-service counterparts, may perpetuate past discriminatory practices in new ways. Understanding new forms of discrimination is important at this stage of the development of managed care, when program design and policy action can most effectively prevent the occurrence of such practices.

The children's hour: the State Children's Health Insurance Program.

The State Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP) is the product of a series of policy and political compromises and generates numerous structural and policy issues for states. CHIP entitles states to federal financial aid to provide health assistance to targeted children, through Medicaid expansions, new program implementation, or a product of the two. States that elect to operate CHIP programs apart from Medicaid have enormous discretion under the law to determine how they will structure their programs, the services they will cover, the form that benefits will take, and the conditions of participation and consumer protections that will apply. Determining what approach to take, as well as how to respond to the choices posed by the statute, represents a major test of how states address the needs of children and families.
