Abstract

A low-cost, computerized data management system has been developed on a Digital Equipment Corporation PDP11V03 computer system with dual floppy discs using BASIC in a time-shared configuration. The system collects, updates, and stores patient information on floppy discs for later retrieval and statistical analysis. All application software is written in BASIC to simplify changes or expansion, and to reduce the software labor costs for transferring the system to other low-cost microprocessor systems currently on the market. This system has been used by several hospital departments for data management and has proven to be a useful tool.

Coding-complete genome sequence of grapevine leafroll-associated virus 13 from grapevine in California.

In this study, we report the coding-complete genome sequence of Grapevine leafroll-associated virus 13 (GLRaV-13), isolate CA8881, detected in Vitis vinifera in California, USA. The genome sequence exhibited over 95% nucleotide identity with previously reported GLRaV-13 isolates and contributed to better understanding of the genetic diversity of ampeloviruses infecting grapevine.

A comparison of three tests to detect general clustering of a rare disease in Santa Clara County, California.

Statistical tests to detect clustering of a rare disease investigate whether an observed spatial pattern of cases appears to be due to chance alone. Heterogeneous population density and the geographic structure of the data under consideration complicate the ability to make comparisons of different tests. Further, interpretation of test results depends on the nature of the test used and what feature of the data it is designed to detect. With these issues in mind, we compare three recent tests for assessing general clustering among cases where the population is distributed heterogeneously across the study area, namely those of Besag and Newell, Turnbull et al. and Tango. We compare these methods using 1981 incidence data for severe cardiac birth defects from Santa Clara County, California.
