    Notes: This study examines how patrol officers respond to citizens' requests that officers control another citizen—by advising or persuading them, warning or threatening them, making them leave someone alone or leave the scene, or arresting them. Data are drawn from field observations conducted in Indianapolis, Indiana, in 1996 and St. Petersburg, Florida, in 1997. Officers granted the request for the most restrictive form of control requested by the citizen in 70% of the 396 observed cases. Several factors were modeled to determine their influence on officers' decisions to grant or deny the most restrictive request. These factors include legal considerations, need, factors that attenuate the impact of law or need, the social relationship between the requester and target of control, and personal characteristics of the officer. Multivariate analysis shows that the most influential factors were legal considerations. When citizens requested an arrest, the likelihood that the police would be responsive dropped considerably. However, as the evidence of a legal violation against the targeted citizen increased, so did the odds of an arrest. Officers were less likely to grant the requests of citizens having a close relationship with the person targeted for control, disrespectful of the police, or intoxicated or mentally ill. The race, wealth, and organization affiliation of citizen adversaries had little impact on the police decision. Male officers, officers with fewer years of police experience, and officers with a stronger proclivity to community policing, had significantly greater odds of giving citizens what they requested. The implications of the findings for research and policy are discussed.

    Notes: Abstract The anorexia of aging is a syndrome characterized by unexplained losses in food intake and body weight that occur near the end of life. Proposed etiologies cover a wide range of biological and psychological conditions. The observation of this phenomenon in older laboratory animals suggests that physiological changes play a significant causal role. Research on the neurochemical control of energy balance has received much attention in recent years, and age-related alterations in the neuropeptidergic effectors of food intake have been implicated in the anorexia of aging. This review provides an update on putative mechanisms underlying this dysregulation of feeding during advanced age.

    Notes: Background:  Gingival overgrowth occurs in patients receiving nifedipine. Gingival inflammation may be an etiologic factor.Methods:  Gingival fibroblasts were either exposed to (i) 0–500 ng/ml TNF-alpha or 10−7 m nifedipine or (ii) 0–500 ng/ml TNF-alpha + 10−7 m nifedipine for 7 days. 3H-proline was used to quantify collagenous protein synthesis.Results:  Both TNF-alpha and 10−7 m nifedipine significantly decreased cell proliferation, and 10−7 m nifedipine + 500 ng/ml TNF-alpha reversed these effects. Collagenous protein synthesis was significantly reduced by TNF-alpha and was significantly enhanced by either 10−7 m nifedipine or 5–500 ng/ml TNF-alpha + 10−7 m nifedipine.Conclusions:  Our data report that nifedipine reverses the primary effects of TNF-alpha on collagenous protein synthesis. Patients with gingivitis could be susceptible to gingival overgrowth during nifedipine therapy as a result of synergistic effects of these agents on fibroblast metabolism, which occurs irrespective of reduced cell numbers.

    Notes: Background:  The role of water in the etiology of periodontal disease is poorly understood.Objectives:  The objective of this study was to examine the association amongst water softness, risk for periodontitis, and smoking status.Methods:  We examined the association between use of water ‘softening and conditioning systems’ and the risk for periodontal disease in smokers and non-smokers, using adult participants (18+ years), from the third National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES III) data. Zero to 33 per cent (0–33%) of sites with periodontal attachment loss ≥ 3 mm was considered a healthy periodontium, and 〉 33% of sites with periodontal attachment loss ≥ 3 mm was defined as periodontitis. Soft water users were divided into ‘yes’ or ‘no’ using the question, ‘Does your home have a “softening or conditioning system?”.’ Smoking subjects were divided into groups as follows: current smokers (had smoked ≥ 100 cigarettes in their lifetime and currently smoked), former smokers (had smoked ≥ 100 cigarettes in their lifetime, not currently smoking), or never smokers (had not smoked ≥ 100 cigarettes in their lifetime). Data was analyzed by univariate analyses using SPSS®. The 5% level of statistical significance was adopted throughout.Results:  Subjects that answered the question ‘yes’ to soft water use had a significantly higher risk of periodontitis (p 〈 0.05), adjusting for confounders. When mineral intake from foods was added to the model, the significance of periodontitis risk remained the same for the non-smoking, soft water-using subjects, whereas for the smoking, soft water-using subjects the risk for periodontitis increased significantly (p 〈 0.05) in most cases.Conclusions:  Thus, use of water ‘softening and conditioning systems’ significantly increased the risk for periodontitis, and smoking increased this risk.

    Notes: The sensitivity of Canadian chartered banks to exchange rate risk is analyzed over the period 1988-1995 through estimating the three-factor asset pricing model (market, interest rate, and exchange rate). Results indicate that banks' stock returns are sensitive to exchange rate risk and, mainly, to the US dollar relative to the Canadian dollar exchange rate. The sensitivity is, however, unstable over time. Moreover, there is an asymmetric response to exchange rate risk. Investors react more to a re-evaluation of their portfolio after losses than to an appreciation after successive gains.

    Notes: An experimental apparatus, putting one face of a water-saturated glass bead bed in contact with a high-concentration (23% NaCl) aqueous freezant (the other face being insulated against heat and mass transfer), was constructed to simultaneous study heat and mass transfer at the product/solution interface and within the product more closely than is possible in real foods. The selected flow allowed uniform heat treatment (a constant heat transfer coefficient) over a large part of the product. The apparatus was used to monitor three elements within the product: the temperature profiles, the NaCl concentration profiles for the liquid phase and the freezing and thawing fronts. The first results showed that a surface layer of a highly impregnated non-frozen product was present at the end of freezing. If the frozen product was left in contact with the refrigerating solution, progressive thawing occurred from the surface inwards; thawed layer thickness seemed to be a linear function of the square root of time.

    Notes: Summary The protein adsorption capacity of different materials was evaluated to assess their potential efficacy as alternative adsorbents for the removal of proteins from wines, with the purpose of finding suitable low-swelling materials that could be used in a percolated bed. The adsorbents tested were thermally treated sodium bentonite, low-swelling adsorbing clays, ion exchange resins and other protein adsorbents (silica gel, hydroxyapatite and alumina). The materials were evaluated by analysing both the capacity to stabilize untreated white wines, according to a heat test, and by characterizing the adsorption isotherms of bovine serum albumin (BSA) in a model wine (water, ethanol and K-bitartrate). Breakthrough curves in a packed bed were determined experimentally for some materials, showing the influence of the adsorption isotherm shape. Some ion-exchange resins showed a favourable behaviour and have good potential as alternative adsorbents.

    Notes: Background: The objective of this study was to investigate the relationship between monthly tomato consumption (MTC) and serum lycopene (sLyco) levels, and a self-reported history of congestive heart failure (CHF) in individuals with periodontitis using data available in the Third National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES III).Methods: Adult participants in NHANES III were used in this study. Zero to thirty three percent of sites with a periodontal attachment loss (PAL) of 〉3 mm was considered a healthy periodontium, while greater than 〉33% of sites with PAL of 〉3 mm as periodontitis. The outcome variable was the self-reported history of CHF. MTC and sLyco levels were categorized into quartiles. Data was analyzed by Kruskal–Wallis, anova and multivariate analyses using SPSS®. p〈0.05 was used to reject the null hypothesis.Results: Individuals with periodontitis showed a dose–response relationship between dietary MTC and self-reported CHF risk; moderate MTC (risk ratio (RR), 3.15; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.03–9.67), low MTC (RR, 3.31; 95% CI, 1.33–8.24) (p〈0.05) and very low MTC (RR, 5.10; 95% CI, 1.67–15.57) (p〈0.01), adjusting for confounders of both diseases (periodontitis and CHF). The moderate sLyco level-healthy periodontium group showed a significant decrease in CHF risk (RR, 0.25; 95% CI, 0.07–0.84) (p〈0.05), adjusting for confounders. Significant inverse dose–response relationships were seen between sLyco and C-reactive protein, and MTC and white blood cell count in periodontitis subjects, respectively (p〈0.05). MTC was correlated with sLyco concentration (r=−0.018, p〈0.05), adjusting for confounders abolished that significance.Conclusions: A relationship exists between periodontitis and CHF risk, and high MTC appears to affect this relationship in a positive direction in periodontitis subjects.

    Notes: Objectives: The objective of this study was to investigate the association of body composition (obesity) and periodontal disease using simple, inexpensive nutritional assessment techniques available in the Third National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES III).Material and Methods: Caucasian subjects, aged 18 years and above, participating in NHANES III, were used for this study. Weight, height, waist circumference, hip circumference, skinfold thickness (S), and bioelectrical impedance analysis measurements were performed and used in the calculation of body mass index (BMI), waist-to-hip ratio (WHR) (visceral fat), log sum of S (subcutaneous fat), and fat-free mass (FFM). Data were analyzed using SPSS®. One-way, factorial ANOVA, multivariate analyses, and regression curve analyses were performed. p〈0.05 was used to reject the null hypothesis.Results: Adjusting for age, gender, history of diabetes, current smoking, and socioeconomic status, statistically significant correlations were found between periodontitis and WHR, BMI, FFM, and in some instances S.Conclusion: This study, indicating significant correlations between body composition and periodontal disease (with WHR being the most significant, followed by BMI, FFM, and S), showed similarities to those observed in other obesity-related health problems. This strengthened arguments that periodontal disease and certain obesity-related systemic illnesses are related, with abnormal fat metabolism possibly being an important factor.
