摘要:

AbstractThere have been changing attitudes to death and grief in Western society in recent centuries. During the twentieth century complex medical and social changes have resulted in changing attitudes to and experiences with death. Specifically, the impact of death in childhood is reviewed. In recent decades sudden and unexpected death associated with stillbirth, the newborn and infants appears to have a more profound affect on the bereaved parents than in the past when the overall death rates in childhood were higher. The evolution of parent support groups developed since the 1960s to alleviate the psychological trauma of unexpected and sudden death in childhood has been traced. These groups were founded initially for support with sudden infant death syndrome and later extended to include families with stillbirth and neonatal death.

摘要:

AbstractCeftriaxone as a single daily intravenous dose for 5 days was used to treat seven patients with provenHaemophilus influenzaeepiglottitis. All children responded favourably. The serum levels achieved exceeded the MIC by up to 1500 times at the trough level during and for up to 24 h after the completion of the treatment. Side effects were mild and transient and did not disrupt the continuity of the treatment. Ceftriaxone potentially offers a number of clinical and economic advantages in the management of epiglottitis.

摘要:

AbstractThe death and serious injury of adolescent motorcyclists is a major public health problem. Effective preventive strategies depend on knowledge about target populations. The attitudes and patterns of exposure to motorcycling of 730 13 year old New Zealand adolescents are described. Fifty‐two per cent could ride a motorcycle, a further 13% intended to learn, 22% had driven on‐road, and 60% had ridden as pillion passengers on‐road. Significantly more males than females were riders (P<0.001) and had ridden as pillion passengers (

摘要:

AbstractThe relationship of selected health beliefs to self‐reported crash experiences, cycling at night and the use of tail‐lights at night was examined for a sample of 730 13 year olds. The questions relating to cycling health beliefs were similar to those asked by Weinstein10in his study of unrealistic optimism about susceptibility to a range of health problems. They included: vulnerability, worry, controllability, chance, barriers, seriousness, apprehension and safety. The majority of 13 year olds interviewed did not exhibit a strong optimistic bias regarding their vulnerability and skills as safe cyclists. In general the majority considered a crash involving a car would most likely be serious and only a minority said they were not worried about being involved in such a crash. In addition, the majority did not consider that crashes are a matter of chance or that there are significant barriers to adopting safety measures. They tended to consider the chances of being apprehended by a traffic officer for failure to use a tail‐light at night as being low. Overall the univariate analyses failed to show a consistent pattern of relationships between health beliefs and the two cycling behaviours. The same was true for crash experiences. The joint effects of beliefs and crash experience on the use of a light at night were examined using logistic regression. The results suggest that the health beliefs work in an additive way as far as boys are concerned, but that they have very little influence on the behaviour of girls. The model for boys suggests that the variables have a relatively small influence on beha

摘要:

AbstractRatios for major organ weights compared with bodyweights of 1023 stillborn and liveborn babies who lived less than 72 h are presented. The ratios were calculated for 2 week increments of gestational age from 20 to 43 weeks and clearly depict the relative growth of fetal organs during the last half of pregnancy. The ratios for heart and for kidneys were virtually constant for the whole period of gestation examined. The ratios for thymus and spleen increased between 20 and 30 weeks gestation and then became constant, although the ratio for the spleen dropped slightly during the last 6 weeks. The ratios for liver, lungs and adrenals decreased between 20 and 30 weeks gestation, and then steadied. The ratio for brain declined very slowly throughout the period examined. An observation of practical importance was that all organ weight/bodyweight ratios were virtually constant after 30 weeks gestation. Approximate mean organ weight/bodyweight ratios between 30 and 43 weeks gestation were: heart 0.007, lungs 0.02, spleen 0.003, liver 0.04, kidneys 0.01, adrenals 0.003, thymus 0.004 and brain 0.13. By multiplying the mean ratio by the total bodyweight, the approximate mean weight for a particular fetal organ can be calculated in situations where charts of normal organ weights are not at hand.
