Sex hormone binding globulin levels in hirsute patients: the effect of combined OCs.

Sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG) has been measured using an improved ammonium-precipitation method. SHBG has been measured in normal male and female subjects, and in hirsute subjects on and off combined oral contraceptives (OCs). SHBG concentrations in hirsute subjects were significantly lower than those of normal female subjects (P0.001). During treatment with OCs, SHBG concentrations rose significantly (P0.001). Among hirsute patients, there was no significant (P0.5) difference between the pretreatment SHBG concentrations of 'responders' and those of 'nonresponders.' During treatment, SHBG concentrations increased in both groups.

Urinary excretion of melanocytic metabolites in fertile women.

Pregnant women and women taking oral contraceptives show urinary excretion values of 5-S-cysteinyldopa and of 6-hydroxy-5-methoxyindole-2-carboxylic acid in the same range as nonpregnant women not taking oral contraceptives. The excretion of these melanoma markers can therefore be used in in the biochemical diagnosis of metastatic melanoma in pregnancy and in women taking oral contraceptives.

Women and work in rural Taiwan: building a contextual model linking employment and health.

This paper is based on ethnographic research in a rural Taiwanese village in which married women with children are a major source of labor for local industry. Responsibility for job and home exposes these women to repeated stressors that can increase their susceptibility to illness. Existing explanatory models linking employment and women's health, however, do not explain adequately the women's response to their wage labor and the consequences of the social aspects of their work on their health. This paper describes women's work and its meaning, and discusses the way in which micro phenomena such as meanings and health states are linked to macro phenomena such as national political-economic processes and the world capitalist system.

The toxicology of PCB's--an overview for clinicians.

Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB's) have low acute toxicity but are of public health concern because of their persistence in the environment, the bioaccumulation in human and animal tissues, and their potential for chronic or delayed toxicity. Although many questions remain unanswered, it is clear that occupational exposure, at a minimum, can produce dermatologic effects and liver dysfunction. The long half-life of PCB's and their presence in various human tissues leaves open the possibility of substantial chronic and delayed effects analogous to those seen in animals. PCB's are potent inhibitors of reproductive function in both rodents and nonhuman primates and produce liver tumors in animal cancer bioassays. As potent inducers of hepatic enzyme systems, PCB's may have additional unpredictable long-term health effects. These effects have only recently begun to be studied in a rigorous manner, and although the epidemiological evidence is neither complete nor entirely consistent, there can be no question of the necessity to keep human exposures to the lowest feasible levels.
