Disease relevance of United States Public Health Service

• Serum GIP, insulin, and glucose concentrations were determined during a standard oral glucose tolerance test in 80 individuals, 45 of whom were normal and 35 of whom had adult-onset diabetes mellitus according to USPHS criteria [1].
• In this review, randomised placebo-controlled blind trials in uncomplicated mild hypertension (USPHS, ANBPS, MRC trials) will serve as the main data base from which to derive practical guidelines, in terms of benefits and risks, of early treatment [2].
• In September 1992, the U.S. Public Health Service (USPHS) recommended that all women capable of becoming pregnant should consume 400 microg of folic acid/day on an ongoing basis to reduce their risk for having a pregnancy affected by spina bifida and anencephaly (i.e., neural tube defects [NTDs]) [3].

High impact information on United States Public Health Service

• This study evaluated the two-year clinical performance of two types of giomers (Beautifil, a surface reaction giomer and Reactmer, a full-reaction giomer), in occlusal (Class I) and cervical (Class V) cavities using the USPHS criteria [4].
• METHODS: A decision tree incorporating a Markov model was created for 4 PEP strategies: the current USPHS recommendations, triple drug therapy, zidovudine monotherapy or no prophylaxis [5].
• To be included in the clinical trial, a restoration had to be rated "Alpha". After one year, 25 patients were recalled and 56 restorations were evaluated using the adapted USPHS system [6].
• Restorations were rated (modified USPHS criteria) at baseline, after 6, 12, 18, 36 and 48 months in relation to tooth type (molar, premolar), size and class of cavities, isolation type (rubber dam, cotton rolls) and use of a calcium hydroxide liner [7].
• Because of concerns about mercury exposures from vaccines that contain thimerosal, the United States Public Health Service (USPHS) and the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommended in July 1999 that the first dose of hepatitis B vaccine be deferred until 2-6 months of age but only for infants who are born to HBsAg-negative women [8].

Associations of United States Public Health Service with chemical compounds

• Clinical assessments were made using USPHS criteria (indirect measurements of occlusal wear were made using Ivoclar standard dies) and annual bite wing radiographs [9].
• The failure rate (USPHS rating, Charlie) was four restorations of Superlux Molar and seven of P-50 APC [10].
• These findings support the USPHS recommendation for multiple drug treatment either with or without clarithromycin [11].
• The State University of New York at Buffalo School of Dental Medicine was awarded a 'Model Curriculum' grant through the USPHS Bureau of Health Professions Education. The award was provided in support of the School's ongoing effort to design a 'model electronic curriculum' for the health professions [12].
• In this study, personal air-monitoring filters containing chrysotile, amosite and amphibole cleavage fragments from various sources have been analyzed by PCM in accordance with the USPHS/NIOSH Method and scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM) to assess the effectiveness of the PCM technique [13].

Gene context of United States Public Health Service

• The cooperation of the APA, the USPHS, and the VA benefited all three entities [14].
• Alpha, Bravo, and Charlie ratings were assigned with a modified USPHS criteria [15].
• CONCLUSION: The AAP/USPHS joint statement on thimerosal in vaccines has resulted in a 38% decrease in the number of hospitals routinely offering infants hepatitis B vaccine [16].
• The guidelines of 1997 USPHS/IDSA should be followed to give chemoprophylaxis against DMAC disease in patients with advanced HIV infection and a CD4 count less than 50 cells/mm3 [17].
