    Notes: The parents of 3649 Finnish children and adolescents were interviewed in 1980 to evaluate the prevalence of bronchial asthma, allergic rhinitis and atopic dermatitis. The same group was interviewed 6 years later to determine the incidence of new cases of bronchial asthma in the 1980s. Age- and sex-matched samples were taken from three areas, southern, eastern and northern Finland to allow assessment of possible regional differences in prevalences and incidences. The prevalences of atopic eczema, allergic rhinitis and asthma were 1.7%, 6.0% and 4.3%, respectively. These figures are similar to those found in previous studies in Scandinavia and Finland over 10 years ago. The prevalence of atopy was highest (6.4%) in southern Finland, which is the most urbanized area of our country. The prevalence of asthma was highest (3.3%) in northern Finland. This is still low when compared with the incidences in other European countries. The prevalences of asthma and atopy were lowest in eastern Finland which is the most agrarian area. The incidence of asthma was 1.5 cases/1000 individuals/year, but no regional differences were shown.

    The effects of pretransplant conditioning, graft-versus-host disease and sepsis on the CRP levels in bone marrow transplantation (1997)

    Notes: Summary To evaluate the diagnostic utility of C-reactive protein (CRP) for the detection of sepsis in bone marrow transplantation, CRP levels were analyzed after pretransplant conditioning and variably combined in septic, focal or viral infections with graft-versus-host disease (GvHD) in 64 bone marrow recipients. The CRP levels after pretransplant conditioning were low. The peak levels of CRP were influenced independently by the type of infection (p=0.016; septic and viral infections were significantly different) and GvHD (p=0.003). The area under the receiver-operator characteristic (ROC) curve for peak CRP in sepsis was 0.653 and 0.618 with and without GvHD, respectively. It was concluded that GvHD and the type of infection were independent determinants of the CRP responses. GvHD did not affect the extent of the CRP response. Therefore, although not highly specific for sepsis, CRP remains a useful detector of sepsis in bone marrow transplantation.

    Effect of long-term training and acute physical exercise on red cell 2,3-diphosphoglycerate (1979)

    Notes: Summary A statistically significant 10% increase (ps〈0.005) in mean red cell 2,3-diphosphoglycerate (2,3-DPG) concentration, concomitantly with a mean 16% increase (p〈0.001) in the predicted maximal oxygen uptake (VO2 max) was observed in 29 recruits, who were studied during 6 months of physical training in military service. The increase in 2,3-DPG was higher, the lower the initial 2,3-DPG and VO2 max levels. The mean initial 2,3-DPG level was higher in the subjects with a higher initial VO2 max. A strenuous but highly aerobic 21-km marching exercise elicited a mean 9% increase (p〈0.005) in red cell 2,3-DPG concentration. A significantly greater response of 2,3-DPG to marching exercise was observed in subjects with a lower pre-test VO2 max than in those with a higher pre-test VO2 max. During another more competitive march 2,3-DPG remained almost unchanged and was associated with a tendency towards a negative correlation with the accompanying lactate response (r=−0.60, p〈0.05). Red cell 2,3-DPG response to a standardized exercise is considered to be a suitable indicator for evaluating the effect of training on an individual.
