Abstract The average value for 24-h excretion of uropepsinogen increased by 64% (P < 0.05) in 44 uncomplicated diabetics as compared to 33 normal subjects. Uropepsinogen excretion was correlated with the daily output of urine (r = 0.43, P < 0.05) in the normals, but not in the diabetics (r = 0.24, P > 0.10). This shows that the enhanced excretion in diabetics is not merely a result of increased urine output, and suggests that diabetes is an interfering factor that affects uropepsinogen excretion. No correlation was found with age (in normal persons or diabetics), duration of disease, fasting glycemic level, or daily insulin requirement. Because gastric secretion is depressed in persons with diabetes mellitus, the increased uropepsinogen excretion is tentatively attributed to alterations of gastric mucosa, known to occur in this disease, which might result in a change of the "exocrine-endocrine partition" of pepsinogen in favor of the "endocrine" fraction, i.e., the fraction that enters the blood.

1. Prolonged stimulation with pentagastrin in doses of 100 and 500 ng h−1 kg−1 was performed in nine healthy subjects. 2. A plateau in gastric secretion was reached after 90 min with 100 ng h−1 kg−1 and 500 ng h−1 kg−1 resulted in a secretory plateau after 60 min. 3. When the plateau was reached the acid secretion rate was constant for the rest of the study, that is 4 h after beginning the pentagastrin infusion. Medians and interquartile ranges of acid output were 4.9 (3.7–5.2) and 8.1 (5.8–9.5) mmol of H+/30 min. 4. We conclude that no ‘fade’ of gastric acid secretion occurs during 4 h of submaximal pentagastrin stimulation in normal subjects, and that the time required for reaching a secretory plateau is dependent on the dose of pentagastrin.

The purpose of this study was to determine whether there is a statistically significant difference between the auditory selective attention abilities of normal and cerebral-palsied individuals. Twenty-three cerebral-palsied and 23 normal subjects between the ages of 5 and 21 were asked to repeat a series of 30 items consisting of from 2 to 4 digits in the presence of intermittent white noise. Results of the study indicate that cerebral-palsied individuals perform significantly poorer than normal individuals when the stimulus is accompanied by noise. Noise was not a significant factor in the performance of the normal subjects regardless of age.

Five subjects with normal middle ear mechanisms, and otosclerotic patients, before and after stapedectomy, matched the loudness of their voices to the loudness of a 125-cps-sawtooth noise. The results showed loudness matching functions with gradual slopes, less than 1.00, for the normal subjects and the patients prior to stapedectomy. Post-surgically, the loudness function for the patients increased in steepness to considerably more than 1.00. These results are explained, most logically, in terms of increased sensitivity of the altered middle ear to sound energy generated by the listener’s own voice.
