Digre, Kathleen B.; Mamalis, Nick; White, George L. Jr. | Congenital anomalies of the optic nerve in one family. | We present three cases of congenital optic disc anomalies in one family who underwent an extensive diagnostic workup to exclude any intracranial pathology.

Varner, Michael W. | Abnormal pregnancy sonogram: selective indication for fetal karyotype. | The inability to make a definitive diagnosis in the fetus with a sonographically identified abnormality often results in parental and physician uncertainty. An antenatal chromosome evaluation could resolve this uncertainty. Forty-one fetuses with an abnormal ultrasound examination were tested for ka... | Chromosome Disorders; Pregnancy; Karyotyping; Abnormalities; Amniocentesis | 1987-01 |

Varner, Michael W. | Human placental lactogen: a predictor of perinatal outcome? | Serial human placental lactogen (hPL) determinations were performed on 806 women with normal and abnormal pregnancies late in the pregnancy. These results were not reported to the clinicians involved. For the study population as a whole, low hPL levels did not effectively predict those adverse perin... | Infant, Newborn; Placental Lactogen; Pregnancy; Prenatal Diagnosis | 1979-08 |

Varner, Michael W.; Hatasaka, Harry H. | Recurrent pregnancy loss. | Recurrent pregnancy loss is a frustrating clinical dilemma for both patients and physicians because, in most cases, causes are nebulous and few treatments with proven benefit can be offered. Involved, expensive tests have frequently been proposed and their use has often filtered into clinical practi... | Recurrent Pregnancy Loss; Uterus/abnormalities; Chromosome Disorders; Abortion, Habitual | 1994-06 |

Varner, Michael W. | Systemic lupus erythematosus. | Systemic lupus erythematosus is an autoimmune disease of unresolved cause afflicting predominantly women in their childbearing years. Speculation exists as to the relative roles of viruses, histocompatibility loci such as HLA-DR3, and estrogenmediated decreases in suppressor cell function.

McDaniel, Susan | Social bases of neonatal and postneonatal mortality: an ecological analysis of Alberta, Canada | Canada's steady downward trend in mortality in the twentieth century has not been matched by a similar decline in infant mortality. This paper examines, by reference to census divisions in Alberta, the degree to which neonatal and postneonatal mortality are related to environmental factors. Although... | Death; Exogeneous; Rates | 1981 |

Waitzman, Norman J. | Half-life of cost-of-illness estimates: the case of Spina Bifida | Neural tube defects, which include spina bifida, are one of the most frequent and important categories of birth defects. Accordingly, there has been considerable interest in studying the impact of spina bifida as a public health problem. This impact can be measured in various ways, including dise... | Spinal cord; Birth defect; Healthcare costs | 2004-10-12 |

Kestle, John R. W. | Priorities for hydrocephalus research: report from a National Institutes of Health-sponsored workshop | Object. Treatment for hydrocephalus has not advanced appreciably since the advent of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) shunts more than 50 years ago. Many questions remain that clinical and basic research could address, which in turn could improve therapeutic options. To clarify the main issues facing hydr... | Biomedical research | 2007 |

Harpending, Henry C. | Paternal age and genetic load | The incidence of base substitutions in humans increases with the age of the father, which shows up as an increased incidence of mutational disorders in the children of older fathers. There is a less obvious implication: an extended period of high average paternal age in a population will lead to inc... | 2013-01-01 | |
