Asbestos body content of the larnyx in asbestos workers. A study of five cases.

30 Aug 1980 Occupational exposure to asbestos has been epidemiologically associated with carcinoma of the larynx; however, no search for or quantitation of laryngeal asbestos bodies has been performed. This report concerns an autopsy study of five patients with ... Read more...

A new approach for evaluating risk factors in coronary artery disease: a study of lipid concentrations and severity of disease in 1847 males.

30 Aug 1980 Using recently developed statistical techniques, we estimated joint probability density functions for plasma cholesterol and plasma triglyceride concentrations in 12 subgroups of 1847 males with angiographically demonstrated coronary artery disease. ... Read more...

Risk factors and angiographic coronary artery disease: a report from the coronary artery surgery study (CASS).

30 Jul 1980 The findings for 14 risk variables were correlated with the results of coronary arteriography in 8807 patients registered in the interinstitutional Coronary Artery Surgery Study (CASS). Discriminant-function analysis revealed that age, sex, ... Read more...
