Proton NMR spectroscopy in canine myocardial infarction.

Proton NMR spectroscopy was used to study the relationship between proton relaxation times and other resonances in the proton spectra, such as lipids, creatine, and choline/carnitine in subacute (8-day-old) myocardial infarctions. Eight mongrel dogs received operative ligation of the left anterior descending coronary artery (four were permanently occluded, four were occluded for 1 h and reperfused) and were sacrificed 8 days later so that tissue samples could be prepared for NMR spectroscopy. The results of this study indicate that (for the core of infarcted tissue) the lipids do not contribute directly to the increased bulk relaxation times associated with myocardial infarction and that the lipid peaks (2.3, 1.2, 0.8 ppm) and creatine peak (3.0 ppm) are more specific to the kind of infarct than to the relaxation times. Therefore, analysis of the proton spectrum of myocardial tissue may serve as a method for tissue characterization.

Child health, breast-feeding, and survival in Malaysia: a random-effects logit approach.

This study examines the possibility that estimation of the effect of breast-feeding on infant survival is affected by selection bias, in that children who are healthier at birth may be more likely to be breast-fed. Data are from the 1976 Malaysian Family Life Survey. "Ordinary logit models for breast-feeding and survival are estimated, and the results suggest that selection is indeed present. For example, children of higher birth weight appear to be more likely to be breast-fed and likely to survive. In addition, weight at birth and the duration of breast-feeding appear to be linked." Using birth weight as an indicator for the child's health, the authors conclude that "the direct influence of breast-feeding on survival remains of overwhelming importance even after corrections for selection bias are made."
