Secondary Complication

Three cases of acute Pasteurella pestis meningitis occurred in a plague outbreak in New Mexico in 1965. Acute plague meningitis has occasionally been seen in other areas of the world. This entity almost invariably develops as a secondary complication of bubonic plague, and a critical review of the literature raises serious question about the existence of primary meningitis due to P. pestis. Treatment of these three cases and experience with plague therapy are discussed. Early recognition of plague infection, including its more unusual complications (such as meningitis), is essential for appropriate treatment and cure.

Rare Lesion

Hamartoma of the larynx is an extremely rare lesion, and the number of well-documented and acceptable cases is limited. The world literature is critically reviewed in order to develop a more accurate clinicopathological profile of this tumorlike malformation, which has to be differentiated from choristoma, teratoma, and rhabdomyoma, among others. Management consists of local excision, and the prognosis is good.

Abstract Twenty cases of facial neuralgia associated with tumors of the contralateral posterior fossa were collected from the world literature. Only four of these conform to the description of typical trigeminal neuralgia. We report on a fifth such case with a critical review of the literature. Subtotal excision of the tumor improves the pain and may convert a carbamazepine-resistant neuralgia into a responsive one. Total excision is often followed by a cure. Faced with such a case, the tumor should always be excised first, as this usually cures the neuralgia. Surgical treatment of the neuralgia in the presence of the tumor may be followed by disastrous results. An alternative hypothesis to the pathogenesis of the contralateral neuralgia is presented.

In the last six decades, one of the most striking developments in international law is the emergence of a massive body of legal norms and procedures aimed at protecting human rights. In many countries, though, there is little relationship between international law and the actual protection of human rights on the ground. This book takes a fresh look at why it's been so hard for international law to have much impact in parts of the world where human rights are most at risk. The book argues that more progress is possible if human rights promoters work strategically with the group of states that have dedicated resources to human rights protection. These human rights “stewards” can focus their resources on places where the tangible benefits to human rights are greatest. Success will require setting priorities as well as engaging local stakeholders such as nongovernmental organizations and national human rights institutions. To date, promoters of international human rights law have relied too heavily on setting universal goals and procedures and not enough on assessing what actually works and setting priorities. This book illustrates how, with a different strategy, human rights stewards can make international law more effective and also safeguard human rights for more of the world population.

The Status

Almost 50 per cent of the world population is constituted by the women and they have been making substantial contribution to socio-economic development. But, unfortunately their tremendous contribution remains unrecognized and unnoticed in most of the developing and least developed countries causing the problem of poverty among them. Empowering women has become the key element in the development of an economy. With women moving forward, the family moves, the village moves and the nation moves. Hence, improving the status of women by way of their economic empowerment is highly called for. Entrepreneurship is a key tool for the economic empowerment of women around the world for alleviating poverty. Entrepreneurship is now widely recognized as a tool of economic development in India also. In this paper I have tried to discuss the reasons and role of Women Entrepreneurship with the help of Push and Pull factors. In the last I have also discussed the problems and the road map of Women Entrepreneurs development in India.

The Relationship

Research on the relationship between fertility and gender ideology revealed inconsistent results. In the present study, we argue that inconsistencies may be due to the fact that such relationship may be nonlinear. We hypothesize a U- shaped relationship between two dimensions of gender ideology (i.e. primacy of breadwinner role and acceptance of male privilege) and fertility rates. We conducted a cross-national analysis of 60 countries using data from the World Values Survey as well as the World Population Prospects 2019. Controlling for gross domestic product, we found support for a U-shaped relationship between gender ideology and fertility. Higher levels of fertility rates were found at lower and especially higher levels of traditional gender ideology, while a medium level of gender ideology was associated with the lowest fertility rate. This curvilinear relationship is in agreement with the phase of the gender revolution in which the country is located. Traditional beliefs are linked to a complementary division of private versus public sphere between sexes, while egalitarian attitudes are associated with a more equitable division. Both conditions strengthen fertility. Instead, as in the transition phase, intermediate levels of gender ideology’s support are associated with an overload and a difficult reconciliation of the roles that women have to embody (i.e. working and nurturing) so reducing fertility. The present study has contributed to the literature by addressing the inconsistencies of prior research by demonstrating that the relationship between gender ideology and fertility rates is curvilinear rather than linear.
