Diets Are Her Prescriptions DINNER’S READY—Claudia Beatty, chief outpatient dietitian, uses plastic replicas of foods to illustrate portion sizes in nutritious low-calorie meals. This meal of lean meat, carrots, green beans, cornbread, skim milk and an orange might be dinner in a 1,200 caldrie-a-day diet. Seasonings on the shelves by her head can make low-salt, low-calorie foods more flavorful. (Photo bylna Fried) New Collection from Outer Space A new atlas whose maps are pictures of various parts of the earth's surface taken from the Landsat Spacecraft has been added to the documents collection in Perkins Library. “In breath-taking color the Landsat images make it possible to see and recognize natural and cultural feattires on a scale not before possible," according to the preface of the book. The atlas is entitled Mission to Earth: Landsat Views the World. It was produced by the Scientific and Technical Information Office, National Aeronautics and Space Administration, Washington. Also recently added is the report of a task force appointed by the Secretary of HEW to study the question of compensation to injured research subjects. Although the use of human subjects in biomedical and behavioral research supported by HEW is well regtilated, accidents do happen. The task force came up with seven recommendations including one suggesting that htunan subjects should be compensated “if (1) the injury is proximately caused by such research, and (2) the injury on balance exceeds that reasonably associated with such illness from which the subject may be suffering." An appendix to the report ^res^Js a number of papers and rejports dealing with research involving prisoners. Titles of some of these include "Philosophical Perspectives on Experimentation with Prisoners," “An Acceptable Context for BiomediCcil Research," and "Use of Prisoners in Drug Testing." When a person leams he has diabetes, he also must leam a new way of eating. Claudia Beatty is here to help. The chief outpatient dietitian at the medical center, Beatty, 26, has been elected one of two Recognized Young Dietitians of the Year by the North Carolina Dietetic Association. She and one other dietitian work with all outpatients for whom special diets are prescribed. The major reasons for special diets are obesity, diabetes, hypertension or a combination of the three, Beatty said. What They Like "We have to decide what the patients' financial situations are, the kinds of things they like to eat and their daily schedules, whether they work, go to school or stay at home," Beatty said. "Then we work out meal plans that fit the doctors' prescriptions and the patients' lifestyles. We explain the diets so the patients will know what to do when they get home." Beatty is now recruiting patients for the third series of weight reduction classes she developed with Dr. Patrick A. McKee, professor in the Division of Cardiology, and Dr. Jay S. Skyler, former assistant professor in the Division of Endocrinology. How To Control Eating "We try to help the participants see what they are eating and why and how to control their eating patterns," the graduate of the University of North Carolina at Greensboro said. The classes, which meet once a week for eight weeks, combine behavior modification with good nutrition and decreasing caloric intake. They emphasize the use of regular foods rather than gimmicks or more expensive diet foods, she said. Follow-up is offered once a month for foiu' months after the classes. "The group interaction has been fun to watch," Beatty said. "The patients say things to each other I would love to but can't as leader of the group. They reinforce each other. Being in a class helps the patients realize others have the same temptations and problems they do." The Raleigh resident also has conducted a weight reduction class for inmates in the women's prison there. Diabetic Children In addition, she worked last summer as dietitian for the N.C. Camp for Children with Diabetes, planning three meals and three snacks a day for two weeks. "The beauty of that situation is that all the kids have diabetes," she said. "They are exposed to others their age in the same situation so they don't feel different. We reiniforce what they've been taught about what they should eat and teach them to control their disease." A native of Charlotte, Beatty spent a two-year traineeship at Presbyterian Hospital there ^fore coming to Duke two years ago. She has held several offices in the local and state dietetic associations and has participated in workshops in the state.
