Physicians Study
Ear Infections
At Wasilla on Friday, May
10, and at Willow on Monday,
May 13, were Dr. Robert McAl
ister and Dr. Jacob Brody of
the Arctic Health Research
Center, U. S. Public Health
Service.
The two were making a study
of the incidence of middle ear
infections and deafness. The
study has coine as a result of
work done in several Eskimo
villages, where the incidence of
these infections is unusually
high.
Tne Public Health Service
physicians feel that it will be
helpful to compile statistics on
several non-native populations
in this area and in Anchorage,
to determine whether the fac
tors leading to the high inci
dence of car infections are af
fecting tne entire Alaskan
population or the native popu
lation only.
It is believed that climatic
conditions may have some ef
fect on this ear ailment, the
men said, and a study of per
manent population such as
that of the Matanuska Valley
will be of help in determining
the basic cause of the illness.
The studies may be expand
ed to other infections, such as
those spread by insects, the
two physicians said. There is
no evidence as yet that there
are any such diseases in Alas
ka. they added.
