With the parameters of a flow-volume and a volume-time curve, the discriminant analysis of bronchial asthma is described. The subjects were classified into three groups (healthy adults, mild asthmatic patients and moderates ones). The difference of the mean vectors of the parameters of the three groups was made clear by the selection methods of the...

Volume-time (V-T) and flow-volume (F-V) curves were measured in all the subjects of nonsmoking young males (mean value 26.3 yrs.), healthy and asthmatic. Eleven parameters of pulmonary function tests, which were composed of two V-T, six F-V, and three mean time constants (MTC) parameters, were calculated from the curves. These were used in the disc...
Volume-time (V-T) and flow-volume (F-V) curves were measured in all the subjects of nonsmoking young males (mean value 26.3 yrs. of age), healthy and asthmatics. Eleven parameters of pulmonary function tests composed of two V-T, six F-V, and three mean time constant (MTC) parameters, were calculated from the curves. These parameters were used in th...

We looked for possible differences in craniofacial morphology between parents of children with cleft lip (CL) and/or cleft palate (CP) and normal controls. Fifty measurements were obtained from lateral and frontal roentgenographic cephalograms of these subjects. The means of all measurements were tested for significant statistical differences, and ...
Maximal expiratory volume-time and flow-volume (MEVT and MEFV) curves were constructed from the measurements of young male nonsmoking, mild and moderate asthmatic patients (mean age, 29.7 yrs.). Eleven parameters of the pulmonary function tests, two MEVT, six MEFV, and three mean time constant (MTC) parameters, were calculated from the curves. Thes...

A seven-element tracer system for regional pollution aerosol has been applied to 100 daily samples of aerosol from Barrow, Alaska during winter 1979–1980, using regional signatures from eastern N America, Europe, and the Soviet Union. The results suggest that approximately 70% of most tracer elements came from the U.S.S.R., 25 % came from Europe, a...

Metacarpophalangeal pattern profile (MCPP) was determined on 38 Prader-Willi syndrome individuals and compared with a previous report on 16 patients. Chromosome analysis showed an interstitial deletion of the long arm of chromosome 15 in 20 subjects and normal chromosome results in the remaining 18 individuals. The mean hand profile of 38 individua...
Maximal expiratory volume-time and flow-volume (MEVT and MEFV) curves were drawn for young male nonsmoking healthy adults and for young male nonsmoking asthmatic patients. Eleven parameters, two MEVT (%FVC and FEV1.0%), six MEFV (PFR, V75, V50, V25, V10 and V50/V25), and three MTC parameters (MTC75-50, MTC50-25 and MTC25-RV) were used for the multi...
