    Background: Adult death rates of A in the NT are increased 3-6-fold. Albuminuria (high albumin/creatinine ratio, ACR, gm/mol) is also pervasive & progressive. In a study of one community, ACR correlated with indices of poor health, including early malnutrition, increasing BP, glycemia and dyslipidemia, heavy drinking, & infections, and it predicts not only renal failure, but natural death (McDonald et al CEPP 1999). We further develop this last association and discuss its implications.Methods: 763 adults (20+ yr)were screened & followed for 1-8 yr (mean 4.3) yr, until death, renal failure, start of treatment or close-out in April ‘98.Results: Twelve people started dialysis: all had ACR 100+ at baseline. There were 61 natural deaths; 21 were cardiovascular (CV), 40 others were due to lung disease, infections, liver disease, amyloidosis, cancer etc. Death rates (CV and nonCV) correlated with increasing baseline ACR over a continuum in nondiabetics and diabetics. People with baseline ACR 〈 3.4 had a death rate of 4.7./1000 person yr, the referent group, while hazard ratios for natural death of persons with baseline ACRs of 3.4-33, 34-99 and 100+ were 2.3 (95% CI 0.98-5.3), 3.2 (1.3-7.9) and 5.1(2.1-12.8) respectively (p = .0029) after accounting for age and sex. The population attributable risk for natural death or dialysis marked by ACR 3.4+ was 0.67 (CI .37-.83), and for natural death alone was 0.59 (.22-.79) after accounting for age, sex, diabetes & hyper-tension. The excess CV mortality of diabetics was entirely represented by their higher baseline ACRs.Conclusion:. Much of the excess mortality in this group is predicted by albumin-uria. Thus the kidney, whose maturation is very sensitive to early environment, and has vast vascular networks, high blood flow, high metabolic rate, and concentrating, phagocytic & endocrine functions, seems an exquisite marker of general health in A people. The ACR is a simple, reproducible, cheap test, which has wide potential application in definition of community health profiles and trends, and in defining diagnosis and prognosis. Initiation and titration of treatment might be guided by the ACR, and arrest of its progression results in dramatic reductions in natural deaths and renal failure.(Hoy et al, ANZSN '99).

    Abstract The role of the aged in human society has received much attention from gerontologists, and the notion of a social role for aged monkeys is common in primatology. Four hundred and fifty hours of focal animal data were collected on a sample of 40 adult female Japanese monkeys. The animals are semi-free ranging and of known age. These data were analyzed in an attempt to determine whether old females constitute a behaviorally distinct subgroup. Very little behavioral variation based on age could be documented. Where age related variation occurs, it is better explained as a function of youth, rather than as a function of old age. The expectation that old monkeys will occupy a distinct social role because of their advanced age is discussed in terms of biological versus social aging, human versus non human aging, the evolution of behavioral change in old age, and the application of the social role concept to old female monkeys. It is concluded that there is little evidence that the behavior of the aged females differs significantly from that of the other adult females, and it does not appear that the fact of biological aging creates any radically different social situation which would cue the onset of specific role behavior for aged animals.

    Abstract. The effect of nitrate supply upon leaf area development in willow (Salix viminalis) was investigated. Rooted cuttings were grown in culture solution at two different rates of exponentially-increasing nitrate supply and with free access to other nutrients. During the lag-phase in attaining stable nutrition, the rate of production of unfolded leaves, in the treatment with poorer N-supply, decreased. After acclimation to the different N-availabilities, the rate of dry matter increase per plant nitrogen was constant and the same in both treatments. The ratio of total leaf area to total amount of nitrogen in the plant was slightly higher in the treatment with poorer nitrogen supply. During the exponential (stable) phases of growth, nearly all the increase in total leaf area was attributable to main-stem leaves; large numbers of leaves on axillary shoots in the treatment with better N-supply contributed little to the total area. During the stable growth phase, the rate of production of unfolded leaves was the same in both treatments. Higher maximum values of relative rate of increase in area of single leaves were found with a better N-supply and at higher leaf positions on the main stem. The duration of leaf expansion was not much affected by N-supply. Final leaf size was greater at higher positions on the main-stem. Within a treatment (investigated for poorer N-supply), differences in final leaf size were proportional to differences in numbers of epidermal cells. Final leaf size was greater, at the same node, in the treatment with better N-supply. Better N-availability had increased the final size but not the number of epidermal cells. It was concluded that the higher exponential rate of total area increase with a better N-supply was largely associated with higher rates of expansion in epidermal cells.

    Abstract Eleven child skulls were radiographed through a range of 50 degrees by varying the horizontal angulation of the X-ray beam in steps of 2 or 5 degrees. The changes in the width of overlapping contact images and the ranges through which no overlap occurred were measured. A linear relationship between changes in X-ray beam angulation and overlap width was found in all the skulls. Using the data it was calculated that for each increase in overlap width of 0.1 mm, 95% of the deviations in X-ray beam angulation were less than 2.5 degrees. The findings of this study suggested that the positioning of the X-ray beam so as to cause no overlapping is at best difficult, and at worst impossible. They also emphasize the importance of using identical projections in estimating the progress of carious lesions on radiographs since small changes can cause overlaps. The use of methods that reduce the error in repositioning the X-ray beam may be important in reducing methodological errors in clinical research.
