severe cases ‘at the University of Manitoba's Health

‘Writing - in the ~ Canadian Medical... Assodlation:

journal, Dr. Colin Ross of the University of Manitoba's [1

it of psychiatry says that the little evidence
available ‘points to.a serious gasoline abuse problem, ”

A.1975 study of the northern Manitoba community of
Shamattawa found that virtually all of the community's
340 children aged four to 18 had sniffed gasoline at some
time and nearly 60 per cent had sniffed it in the past three
months, Ross. says.

A 1977 study of a second Manitoba native com-
munity, Littlé Grand Rapids, showed that 50 per centvof
the community's children were suffering from some
degree of lead poisoning due to sniffing of leaded
gasoline.

“Apparently the abuse of gasline has not. declined, in.
these or other northern communities,” Ross said. “The
problem is endemic.”

“fhe symptoms associated: with lead poisoning in-

But there is a lot of development and testing to be
done, Forester said.

So far, laboratory work demonstrating the effect has
been carried out with stips of animal-heart tissue, whole
animal hearts, live animals under surgical “open-chest”
conditions and strips of human heart muscle.

The human muscle was obtained.) Forester ex-
plained, from small sections of heart muscle that some-
times have to be exercised during heart surgery.

While the contraction-strengthening ottocts of of ultra-
sound have been identical in all of these tests, the crucial
work of demonstrating the effect in human patients still
lies ahead. ;

“I think we will get to that point within the next 12
months,” Forester said.

movements of the limbs; facial twitching; and psychiatric
abnormalities.

Lead poisoning is treated by giving substances which
bind to thelad and cause it to be excreted, but therapy is
usally only partially successful.

One of the grimmest aspects’ of gasoline sniffing,
Ross says; is that it may produce a fetal gasoline
syndrome, similar to the bettef-known fetal alcohol
syndrome brought on by the mother’s heavy Padres
during The of such a sy
suggested by a 1979 study of physical and mental abode!
malities of infants in Shamattawa, Ross says.

“Such a syndrome would be the most frightening
consequence of gasoline sniffing; in some egmmunities an
entire generation may be inflicting irrevesgible damage
on itself and its offspring. rs

Treatment of alcoholism

Drugs’ success minimal

By AUSTIN RAND

‘Two drags widely used to stop sbechelips fram drteiing
can actually increase the pleasurable effects of small
amounts of alcohol, a Canadian study indicates.

The new finding suggests, say researchers Zavie Brown
and Zalman Amit of McGill University, that the two drugs
tested — disulfiram and calcium carbimide — may be of little
use in helping aleoholics stay away from alcohol.

Diabetes is a disorder of carbohydrate metabolism in
which the person’s body is unable to maintain normal blood
sugar levels and responds to carbohydrate foods with a
rapid, exaggerated increase in blood sugar levels.

At least one Canadian in 25, including many children
and teenagers suffer from some form of diabetes.

Led by David Jenkins, an endorcrinologist at the
University of Toronto, the researchers have found that some
supposedly complex, slowly metabolized carbohydrates in
fact produce rapid inereases in blood sugar levels, while
others lead oply to slow, modest. inereases.

The newly discovered slow or “lente” carbohydrates
include many pastas such as macaroni and spaghetti, as well
as beans and peas and barley.

A few hours before attending an poco: “cogktail
party” the volunteers took a capsule containing either
disulfiram, calcium carbimide or plain gelatin.

Each volunteer was then given five alcoholic drinks
over a.2';-hour period and was asked at several points
during the “party” to rate how he felt.

The researchers found that none of the volunteers who
got doses of the two anti-alcoholic drugs reported ‘any
adverse reactions.

In fact, the volunteers who got disulfiram and caletum
carbimide felt on the whole happier, more alert, more
relaxed and a little more drunk than did the volunteers who

New
charts
being

created

BURNABY (CP) — Re
searchers at Simon. Fraser
University believe they are
on the brink of demolishing
the old height and weight
charts with a more sophis-
ticated method of determin-
ing how much of a persons
body weight is adipose tis-
sue.

“Don't say fat,” kinesiol-
ogist Bill Ross says, adding
fat is only one part of adipose
tissue, Water and cellular
constituents make up the
rest.

Ross said the new charts

will allow health workers and
recreational counsellors to
use simple and cheap skin
calipers to determine a sub-
ject’s adiposity.
Onee the subject's skinfold
meastrements have been
taken, he can be located on
the chart, which will show
how adipose he really is.

Ross said the problem with
the old charts is that they are
based on a “two-compart-
ment” model of the human
body in which both compart-
ments — fat and everything
else — are held to be constant
in density from the next.

The result is a neat chart
that shows what a person of
given height should weigh.
But researchers have deter-
mined there is wide variance
from one person to the next
in critical factors such’ as
bone density.
