The report presents projections of the standing height of large American males for the years 1985, 1995, and 2005. The background information used in developing these projections includes U.S. population data, estimates of a continuing secular trend toward increased stature, and data describing the decrease in stature as a function of aging.

In 2007, the national prevalence of HIV in Kenya was 7.1% among persons aged 15-64 years, with provincial prevalence rates ranging from 0.8% in North Eastern Province to 14.9% in Nyanza Province. Although an estimated 85.0% of males in Kenya are circumcised, nearly half of all uncircumcised men live in Nyanza Province, where circumcision prevalence is only 48.2%. Based on the results of three randomized controlled trials in 2007 showing that medical male circumcision is effective in reducing HIV acquisition among men by approximately 60%, the World Health Organization and the Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS issued recommendations urging countries to offer male circumcision as an additional HIV prevention intervention. Kenyas Ministry of Health (MOH) prioritized the implementation of voluntary medical male circumcision (VMMC) services by targeting areas with low prevalence of male circumcision and high HIV prevalence. This report summarizes the progress of the VMMC scale-up in Kenya during 2008-2011.

The purpose of this study was to determine the personal utility of asymptomaticthird molar removal in military patients. From 1 to 30 days (mean=7.4) after the extraction of one or more third molars, 100 returning patients (all male, mean age=20.1) were asked to respond to hypothetical questions concerning the extraction of asymptomatic third molars. The results indicate general acceptance of the strategy of prophylactic third molar removal among a sample of military patients who have undergone pre-treatment counseling and the surgical procedure. A question remains as to the personal utility that might be measured prior to surgery.

Information through survey technique and psychological assessment procedures on three major groups of subjects was collected. The subjects included 502 black males between the ages of 18 and 35. The three groups were: (1) homicide perpetrators (prison groups) from the Tennessee Prison System; (2) assault victims - emergency room patients from two hospitals in Nashville, TN; and (3) control subjects - young black males from a random sample of community households in Nashville, TN. In general, the control group had a higher median education than the other groups and had higher employment. The assault and prison groups were more likely to be from a family that was female headed and are in poor physical and mental health.

Sciomyza terminalis Walker is recognized as a member of the genus Pherbellia and identical with Pherbellia povolnyi Rozkosny and possibly also with Sciomyza costalis Brunetti. The previously unknown male of Pherbellia terminalis (Walker), comb. n., is described, and the male genitalis are figured in detail. New distributional data show that the species ranges from Afghanistan to the Philippines. New records of Sciomyzidae from Afghanistan are presented, and a list of the species recorded from Afghanistan is included. A key to the Oriental species of Pherbellia is presented for the first time.

A bioassay of sodium diethyldithiocarbamate for possible carcinogenicity was conducted by administering the test chemical in feed to F344rats and B6C4F1mice. Groups of 50rats of each sex were administered sodium diethyldithiocarbamate at one of two doses,either 1,250or 2,500ppm,for 104weeks. Groups of 50mice of each sex were administered sodium diethyldithiocarbamate at one or two doses,either 500or 4,000ppm,for 108or 109weeks. Matched controls consisted of 16untreated male rats, 20untreated female rats,and 20untreated mice of each sex. No tumors occurred in the rats or mice of either sex at incidences that were significantly higher in the dosed groups than in the control groups. It is concluded that under the conditions of this bioassay,sodium diethyldithiocarbamate was not carcinogenic for F344rats or B6C3F1mice of either sex.
