Disentangling the effects of disability status and gender on the labor supply of Anglo, black, and Latino older workers.

Utilizing data from the 1991 Health and Retirement Study Early Release File, this article examines the effects of disability status on labor force participation and earnings of preretirement workers aged 50 to 64. Results from our hierarchical regression models suggest that poor health and the presence of a work disability significantly reduced the labor force participation and earnings of older men and women. These analyses also suggest that economic well-being was constrained by the costs associated with additional "minority statuses." For example, the odds of being employed were reduced by approximately 46% for black men with disabilities. Further, the earnings of black men were 17% lower than the earnings of their nondisabled counterparts.

[Experimental surgical model of hydrocele for the use of sclerotherapy]. / Modelo quirúrgico experimental de hidrocele para el empleo de la escleroterapia.

Sclerosant therapy for different pathological conditions (testicular hydrocele, pneumothorax) is a little known and scantily used procedure in the clinical setting. We have developed a surgical procedure in the dog that permits reproducing adult hydrocele. This experimental model is useful for morphometric assessment of the sclerosant effects of the commonly used agents (magnesium silicate hydrate, carbolic acid, ethanolamine oleate, hydroxytetracycline chlorhydrate and quinacrine chlorhydrate). Our results show that the degree of sclerosis achieved with quinacrine and hydrotetracycline is significantly superior to that obtained with other agents.
