Let us consider some good things that have happened before the year 2021 concludes: 1) On February 1, 2021, researchers at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) announced that the autism spectrum disorders may be caused by defects in the mitochondria of brain cells of the eye. The research continues. 2) In the year 2021, many people have adopted the term “on the spectrum” to refer to the many brain dysfunctions that can and cannot be named and diagnosed yet. 3) Yale University Child Study Center and The Jim Henson Institute have invited many experts from many fields of study together to discover what happens when spectrum and non-spectrum children and adults look at puppets. What are they looking at? What do they see? Why don't we already know what they see? Are we looking at the important things? The chapter will explore these questions and specifically learning and the impact of puppets further.

A team of students from the Department of Epidemiology and Public Health, Yale University School of Medicine, has been investigating an increase in reported infections with Neisseria gonorrhea statewide in children 13 years of age or less, excluding neonates, in Connecticut. In particular, there was a marked increase in reported infections in one city between 1983 and 1984. The results suggest that much of a statewide increase during that time may have been due to improved recognition, predominantly due to the use of pharyngeal cultures in this city, and raise disturbing questions about the adequacy of recognition, culturing, and reporting from other parts of the state.

Ouderschap bij angstige kinderen en adolescenten betekent constante uitdagingen: “wanneer moeten ouders kinderen helpen angstwekkende situaties te vermijden, en wanneer moeten ze hen aanmoedigen hun angsten onder ogen te zien?” “Hoe kunnen ouders zelfstandigheid bevorderen?” “ Wat te doen wanneer de angst van het kind het hele gezinsleven overneemt? “ Doorbreek Angst en Dwang bij je kind is het enige boek dat een volledig oudergericht behandelprogramma biedt. Ouders zullen leren hoe ze de angst van hun kinderen kunnen verlichten door de manier te veranderen waarop ze zelf reageren op de symptomen van hun kinderen. Ouders hoeven zich niet bezig te houden met het gedrag van hun kinderen. In plaats daarvan wordt aan ouders getoond hoe ze hun eigen aanpassingsgedrag aan de angst van hun kind (waardoor angst kan floreren) kunnen vervangen door andere, meer ondersteunende reacties, gericht op acceptatie van de moeilijkheden en vertrouwen Dit boek biedt duidelijke richtlijnen en praktische suggesties. Van het begrijpen van de angst en OCD van het kind tot het leren praten met een angstig kind, het vermijden van veelvoorkomende valstrikken en -kuilen (zoals bijvoorbeeld overdreven beschermend of juist te veeleisend zijn) tot het opsporen van de manieren waarop ouders het angstige gedrag van een kind mogelijk hebben gefaciliteerd. Het boek bevat werkbladen om de beschreven suggesties in daden om te zetten. Ook is het voor professionals een handig instrument. Eli R. Lebowitz, PhD, bestudeert en behandelt angst bij kinderen en adolescenten aan de Yale School of Medicine Child Study Centre.

In Reply.— Day and colleagues1 at tye Yale University School of Medicine reported studies proving that back blows propel a foreign body downward and backward into the throat or larynx in a direction toward the lung at a force of 3 g. Day et attributed this finding to Newton's Third Law of Motion: "To every action there is always opposed an equal reaction." They conclude that, in a choking person, "in the case of a partial obstruction, a back blow could transform the situation into one of compleete blockage."
