Effects of moderate weight loss on anginal symptoms and indices of coagulation and fibrinolysis in overweight patients with angina pectoris
No full textObjective: To evaluate the effects of moderate weight loss, in overweight patients with angina, on plasma coagulation, fibrinolytic indicies and pain frequency. Design: Single- stranded 12-week dietary intervention, an individualised eating plan with quantitative advice delivered by a dietitian. Target weight loss of 0.5 kg per week. Setting: Outpatient research clinic. Subjects: Fifty-four volunteers with angina pectoris were recruited. Five subjects withdrew, so 27 males, 22 females, mean body mass index (BMI) 29.3 (s.d. 4.3) kg/m(2) and age 60.3 (s.d. 6.5) y completed the intervention. Measurements: Body weight and frequency of anginal pain. Plasma fibrinogen, red cell aggregation (RCA), viscosity, factor VII activity, plasminogen activator inhibitor (PAI) activity, tissue plasminogen activator antigen (t-PA), plasma cholesterol, triglyceride and insulin. Results: After the 12-week dietary intervention period, mean body weight fell by 3.5 (s.d. 2.6) kg or 4.3% (P = 0.0001), range -11.7 to +1.7 kg. Mean angina frequency fell by 1.8 (s.d. 3.6) from 3.2 to 1.4 episodes/week (P = 0.009) and plasma cholesterol by 0.4 (s.d. 0.7) from 6.3 to 5.9 mmol/1 (P = 0.0001). HDL cholesterol and triglyceride were unchanged. Of the coagulation and fibrinolytic factors, factor VII activity and RCA were significantly reduced by 5 (s.d. 20), IU/dl (P = 0.04) and 1.3 (s.d. 1.3) arbitrary units (P = 0.014), respectively. Conclusions: A conventional dietetic intervention, resulting in 4% weight loss, offers the potential to reduce atherosclerotic and thrombotic risk, and to reduce pain frequency, in angina patients. Given the importance of this result in a public health context, these results indicate that this may be a fruitful area for future nutrition research

Victim of the Japanese Evacuation and Resettlement Study (JERS)
No full textAn affidavit written to invalidate purported distortions and false accusations made against the author in two books published using research material collected by Rosalie Hankey Wax during de Cristoforo's incarceration at Tule Lake. The books are "Doing Fieldwork: Warnings and Advice" by Rosalie H. Wax and "The Spoilage" by Dorothy Swaine Thomas and Richard S. Nishimoto with contributions by Rosalie Hankey. The affidavit outlines and refutes information collected by Wax while working on the Japanese American Evacuation and Resettlement Study (JERS).The Robert Billigmeier collection is comprised of materials collected during his work and stay at the Tule Lake incarceration camp conducting research for the University of California’s Japanese Evacuation and Resettlement Study (JERS). The collection includes: photographs taken during his time at Tule Lake; a scrapbook created by students at Tule Lake in 1942; camp publications; reports and manuscripts; and student writings. Several of the reports and manuscripts draw from the personality cards written by students in the Tule Lake incarceration camp
