Good Selection

70 interested elderly (65 yr. and over) men and women participated in an investigation of older consumers' apparel-shopping behavior and satisfactions and dissatisfactions with available clothing and facilities. Analysis showed that the participants considered shopping ease, wide variety, and label/brand as some of the important factors while shopping for clothes. The respondents were satisfied with good selection, closeness of the mall, and reasonable sales. However, their dissatisfactions ranged from service to fit and size, youthful styles, and abundance of imported clothing. In-store displays, mail order catalogs, and window shopping were the most commonly used sources of apparel information. Several implications of the findings were discussed and suggestions for further research were made.

Plasma Prl

ABSTRACT A simple and rapid homologous radioimmunoassay of human prolactin (hPRL), by the use of 66% ethanol containing 6.6% ammonium acetate for the separation of free and bound hormones, has been established. PRL levels showed marked individual and daily variations as well as a circadian periodicity in both men and women. Levels of plasma PRL rose with puberty and decreased during post-menopause and in elderly men (ages 60–73 years). There was no marked change in plasma PRL levels at midcycle; however, in some subjects, luteal levels were slightly higher than follicular levels. Administration of oestradiol-17β caused marked increase in plasma PRL levels during menstrual cycle. During pregnancy, the plasma PRL levels rose as high as 200 ng/ml and decreased within a week or two post-partum. During lactation, the levels were higher and increased with suckling. In a patient with habitual abortion, the plasma PRL level showed a sudden drop prior to abortion. Administration of LH-RH had no effect on the secretion of PRL in human subjects.
