Steve Bechler was denied a successful career and would never get to see his first child, which he and his wife, Kylie, were expecting at the time of his death. 

Elizabeth was a healthy child and has lived most of her life in Michigan. Except for two incidents when her joints swelled—once at age seven or eight and again in her teenage years—she had no signs of allergies until the birth of her first child. When I met her she was reactive to many foods and to most vitamins, herbal supplements and medications in addition to chemicals. 

Combining the data from all the clinics, ANOVA was used to test the 11 questionnaire responses for statistical significance of variations among the three nutrition centers, and between the two blend types, and whether a difference between blends depended upon the nutrition center (interaction effect). The same variations were examined statistically using only the first child in each family. The rationale for this approach was that data from... 

In addition to Table V reported results, analyses of variance were performed on data from all clinics, using only the first child in each family. In this case also, statistical significance between blends was not found for any of the 11 response characteristics.

At the time of the study, approximately half of the interviewees were married, and one in five was divorced. Women were more likely than men to have never married. On average, for those who had children, the first child was bom when the chemist was age 31 and most tended to have a second child. Although 80% cited some religious affiliation, mostly Protestant, a number reported no religious affiliation. 

Not long after finishing up at Berkeley, Dick and Jane returned to Britain in September 1960 and, 3 weeks later, their first child, Caroline, was bom. With the support of an ICI Fellowship, Dick then took up a 2-year research appointment at the University of Bristol. The temporary character of this appointment did not seem to perturb him any, for during this time he and Jane bought a good-sized property in Henbury, just outside Bristol, where they went on to have two more children Miles in 1962 and Marcus in 1963. Apparently, when Richardson s Head of School at the University of Bristol heard of this (at the time) rather extravagant purchase of a family...

His parents, Ada and John H. Peat, lived at Bolden, County Durham, but Mrs. Peat was staying with her sister Alice in South Shields when their first child, Stanley, was born in 1902. John Peat was a mining engineer, but, despite his status, the family was rather poor and the care of the infant boy was handed over to his Aunt Alice and her husband, James Gibson, who were childless. Unfortunately, despite their care and attention, the child developed bovine tuberculosis when only a few months old, and had to receive hospital treatment for some time. Possibly as a result of this illness, the child was left with a permanent curvature of the spine. This disability was to have a profound effect on the development of Stanley Peat, since, denied an outlet for his energies in active sports and games, he was thrown back onto his mental resources for amusement and interest. 

The system of ordered interconnections of a nomological machine means that events of a particular type (inputs) are converted in a regular, predictable fashion into other events (outputs). In the context of the machine, the inputs cause the outputs there is a regular, law-like association between them. The machine itself, however, does not cause the effects, rather it is responsible for the causal laws the relationship between causes and effects (Cartwright, 1999, pl30). For example, the rise in the age at which women have their first child is often said to be one of the causes of the increase in breast cancer in Western countries, as epidemiological... 

Although the specific patterns of various drugs may not fit Ainslie s model in a natural way, it performs well in explaining the general phenomenon of preference reversal. It is not clear, however, that it offers a full account of this phenomenon. Consider an example told by a former addict and cited by Lewis Yablonski (1%5). The subject s wife was about to have their first child, and he was to be present during delivery. As his... 

Passive immunity only lasts a short while and occurs when the mother passes protective agents such as immunoglobulins to the child in, for example, breast milk. Tetanus immunization is another example since it only lasts 10 years. The Rhesus response where the first child immunizes the mother against other children is also well known. Passive immunity also has the potential to produce undesirable immune responses such as allergic reactions or anaphylactic shock. 

When I found out that I was five weeks pregnant with my first child, I stopped the Prozac immediately. I did not feel depressed and do not remember any negative consequences at that time. Perhaps the fact that I was so ecstatic to be pregnant helped me. Then at three months pregnant we moved. This was a stressful and difficult time. I did not resume the Prozac during that pregnancy and I did not become depressed, but there were times when I felt I was skating on very thin ice and I felt scared.

In 1951, Guy Dutton met his future wife, Marise Atkinson, at a cocktail party, and after a short courtship of a few months they were married. Marise was a very important factor in Guy s career and supported him staunchly throughout. She accompanied Guy on many of his sabbatical trips and to most of the scientific and professional conferences he attended. Marise was always a warm and gracious hostess at the many gatherings in the Dutton home. Their hospitality earned them a very special place in the hearts of many people who visited them in Vancouver. Their first child, Anthony, was bom in 1957, and their twin sons, Peter and Robin,... 

Some couples have their first child before they have learned any real parenting skills, while a few reading books and attending seminars as soon as they find out they are pregnant. 

In 1971, a child with biotin-responsive (J-methylcrotonylglycinuria was reported.This individual had metabolic ketoacidosis and elevated concentrations of urinary P-methylcrotonic acid and 5-methylcrotonylglycine. Several days after being given oral biotin, his symptoms resolved, and the urinary metabolites cleared. He subsequently was shown to have deficient activities of all three mitochondrial carboxylases in his peripheral blood leukocytes and skin fibroblasts. This was the first child to be diagnosed with what was called multiple carboxylase deficiency.
