The total intra-individual variation of fasting urinary calcium- and hydroxyproline-creatinine ratios were determined both as outpatients and as inpatients in 46 patients with metabolic bone disorders, including 20 women with osteoporosis. The intra-individual variation of both measurements was reduced considerably by collecting samples in the ward rather than in the outpatient setting, although this was not the case for a sub-group of osteoporotic women. The large intra-individual variation observed for calcium and hydroxyproline (30–40% in osteoporotic women) can give rise to misclassification in screening for fast bone losers. The very large critical difference required (109% and 94%, respectively, for calcium and hydroxyproline) for two results to reflect a significant change, is a major limitation in the use of these analytes for monitoring bone resorption in menopausal and osteoporotic women.

The female reproductive tract may be the site of a wide variety of benign and malignant tumors, as well as non-neoplastic tumor-like conditions, most of which can be diagnosed by light microscopic examination including special stains and more recently immunoperoxidase techniques. Nevertheless there are situations where ultrastructural examination can contribute substantially to an accurate and specific diagnosis. It is my opinion that electron microscopy can be of greatest benefit and is most cost effective when applied in conjunction with other methodologies. Thus, I have developed an approach which has proved useful for me and may have benefit for others. In cases where it is deemed of potential value, glutaraldehyde-fixed material is obtained at the time of frozen section or otherwise at operation. Coordination with the gynecologic oncologist is required in the latter situation. This material is processed and blocked and is available if a future need arises.

SummaryThe in vivo distribution of 57Co-hematoporphyrin in adenocarcinoma BW10232-bearing mice has been studied. Tumor-bearing and normal animals exhibit similar patterns of radioactivity accumulation. Twenty-four hours after the administration of the radiocompound the ratios tumor to blood and tumor to muscle indicate a potential value of this radioactive porphyrin for the detection of some types of tumor.

This article offers insights into conceptual, pedagogical, and programmatic crossings and conflicts between the fields of Environmental Studies and Ethnic Studies. It highlights both the important intersections between the two fields and their potential value, while also addressing the challenges posed in the development of programmatic collaborations. Utilizing case studies drawn from the author’s own experiences, the article’s focus is on harnessing the strengths and limitations of both fields to promote transformative knowledge and action at multiple scales.
