The present volume contains the edited transcript of a Totts Gap Colloquium held May 19-21, 1980 sponsored by the Muscular Dystrophy Association. The aim of the colloquium was to bring into focus data relating to cell membranes that might contribute to understanding the pathogenic mechanism of Duchenne muscular dystrophy. A major impediment to progress in understanding the patho­ genesis of muscular dystrophy has been the failure, so far, to i...

Includes a diagnostic test, three full-length model tests with answers and explanations, tips and strategies for the highest score, subject reviews, and more. Also includes FREE online access to two additional full-length tests with all questions answered and explained.

This volume contains the edited proceedings of a Totts Gap Colloquium held June 15 to 17, 1980 at Totts Gap Medical Research Laboratories in Bangor, Pennsylvania under the sponsorship of three neighboring community hospitals in the Lehigh Valley, St. Luke's Hospital of Bethlehem, Easton Hospital of Easton and Muhlenberg Medical Center of Bethlehem. The objective of the meeting was to examine from several points of view the impact of rapidly pr...

This volume contains the edited transcript of the Second Topical Colloquium based on leads developed at the original conference on the artery and the process of arteriosclerosis (the Lindau Conference of 1970). The first follow-up colloquium on "The Smooth Muscle of the Artery" was held in Heidelberg in 1973. Planning for the present one was undertaken by the editors with Dr. C. Forbes Dewey, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Massachusetts...

Dr. Colin J. Schwartz, the scientific editor of this volume, has stated in his preface that this series is based on the needs identified by two scientific conferences, one in Lindau in April of 1970, and the other held in Heidelberg in October of 1973. Since those conferences, numerous data about vascular disease have been accumulated. Even though atherosclerosis remains the major cause of death in industrial countries, evidence in affluent so...

This volume contains the edited transcript of the third Totts Gap Colloquium held at Totts Gap, Pennsylvania, June 14-16, 1976. The Colloquium was aimed at sensing and evaluating anticipated pat­ terns of medical responsibility and practice and preparing for im­ minent change - specifically as it will concern the role of the doctor. Recognizing that community values and social behavior are powerful forces affecting health, the participants exp...

This volume contains the edited proceedings of a workshop conference, THE SMOOTH MUSCLE OF THE ARTERIAL WALL, held at Max Planck Haus, Heidelberg, West Germany, on the occasion of the dedication of the new Myocardial Infarct Institute of the Univer­ sity of Heidelberg. The conference was a sequel to one held three years earlier at Lindau, West Germany, on THE ARTERY AND THE PROCESS OF ARTERIO­ SCLEROSIS. The earlier conference examined availab...

This volume contains the edited transcript of the second Totts Gap Colloquium, held at Totts Gap, Pennsylvania, May 29-31, 1975. The objective of the Colloquium was to bring into focus what is known of pathogenic mechanisms of schizophrenic manifestations. One hope was to differentiate among syndromes that share the fea~ tures of schizophrenia, disorganization of thought and talk, inap­ propriateness of affect, circumstantiality, withdrawal fr...

This volume contains the edited transcript of an interdisci­ plinary colloquium held at Totts Gap Medical Research Laboratories, Bangor, Pennsylvania on October 12-14, 1983 under the sponsorship of the Muscular Dystrophy Association. The aim was to illuminate the pathogenic mechanism of Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy through a synthesis of available data on gene expression in muscle. In the informal give and take ot the collo­ quium, the particip...

This volume contains the edited proceedings of the Totts Gap Colloquium on Diabetes Mellitus, DILEMMAS IN DIABETES. The Collo­ quium, lasting two and a half days, was organized mainly as a dia­ logue among experts in the field with different disciplinary back­ grounds and, to some extent, differing points of view. The effort was to synthesize existing knowledge, reconciling disparate data and interpretation, and pointing up important areas of ...

Substantial progress toward reconciling disparate theories of the pathogenesis of arteriosclerosis was recorded in Volume I of this book. the proceedings of an interdisciplinary workshop conference held at Lindau. Germany, April 19-25, 1970. Strong evidence was ad­ duced that the early stages of arteriosclerosis consist of intimal proliferation similar to that associated with the increase in arteri­ al size and caliber that characterizes norma...

The present volume contains the first half of the edited tran­ script of a six-day Conference, "Fundamental Data on Reactions of Vascular Tissue in Man, " held April 19-25, 1970, in Lindau, West Germany. The remainder of the proceedings, dealing with the epide­ miologic, clinical and preventive aspects of arteriosclerosis, will be published in a second volume. The Conference was held under the auspices of the International Society of Cardiolog...

This volume examines the health effects of social change in an Italian-American community over a 25-year period. The authors provide evidence of the protective effect of family bonds and shared social values against coronary disease.

Traces the steady rise in the incidence of heart disease beginning in 1960, that paralleled the shift of an Italian-American community from traditional social structures to the rugged individualism that made America strong. A landmark longitudinal (25-year) study that demonstrates the advantages of
