“…The contrast in absorption of vitamin A alcohol and vitamin A acetate was noted in patients with cystic fibrosis of the pancreas (Breese and McCoord, 1939). More recently Lewis et al (1947) have pointed out a similar contrast using aqueous and oily preparations of the vitamin.…”

“…Following gastrectomy some patients show subnormal absorption whereas others reveal earlier peaks in absorption than do normal subjects (Mendeloff, 1954). Other conditions studied in which poor absorption was found were tuberculosis (Breese, Watkins, and McCoord, 1942), bile duct atresia (May, Blackfan, McCreary, and Allen, 1940), and jejuno-ileitis (Adlersberg and Sobotka, 1943).…”

“…In a cross-sectional study in Rwanda, 29% of adults with tuberculosis and HIV coinfection had serum vitamin A concentrations indicative of deficiency (< 1.05 μmol/L) [69]. Factors that may contribute to the development of vitamin A deficiency during tuberculosis include decreased dietary intake of vitamin A, impaired absorption of vitamin A [70], increased utilization of vitamin A during infection, and abnormal losses of vitamin A in the urine.…”

In this dissertation by an old\p=m-\orlet us say, older\p=m-\pediatrician, I wish to elaborate on the hypothesis that research in practice is a partial solution to the problem of the ills of pediatrics. And since my years permit it, I should like to give advice to younger men seeking the "New Pediatrics." Today it is a common complaint among these young pediatricians (and many older ones) that they are less than happy in the pursuit of their profession. The hours are long; payment, in contrast to other fields of medicine, not particularly rewarding; and that, most of all, they are bored. Perhaps boredom could be better replaced by the word "fed-up." Certainly one would be a magnificent hypocrite if at times he did not admit to being "fed-up" by the day-t o\ x=req-\ day pressures of practice, having to see too many people in too short a time, having to mollify overwrought mothers, having to answer innumerable silly questions, repeat over and over instructions on the loose stools, sore bottoms, invisible rashes, and the com¬ mon cold. I find myself, and I am sure that many other pediatricians have the same experience, reasonably easy and relaxed in the morning if I happened to have had a good night's sleep, but by evening irascible when a phone call in regard to Johnny's stuffy nose (present for 3 days) interrupts my dinner. To add to such a harried physi¬ cian the thought of research as part of his already overburdened life seems almost ridi¬ culous. Nonetheless, research is possible and extremely rewarding.One may do research while in practice in one of 3 ways: (1) He may take time off from his practice and do investigation in an institution, such as a medical school or his hospital, on a part-time basis, usually in a field divorced from his day-to-day practice.(2) He may choose a problem from prac¬ tice and collaborate with one of his col¬ leagues who is working full-time in a
