Unbaptized Infants

Thus was Dante welcomed by Homer, Virgil, Horace, Ovid, and Lucan, and invited to become a member of the select circle in Limbo, the upper section of Hell containing the souls of unbaptized infants and distinguished pagans. The commentators tell us that this account of himself has been adduced as a proof of Dante's modesty; I have never been able to discover who proposed this idea. The poets entered the Palace of Wisdom and later on took their stand on an eminence from which Dante had a good view of the noble souls on the green sward in front of him, and he was told who many of them were.Owing to lack of space I must confine myself to the literary figures seen by Dante, although there were many other notable inmates of Limbo, e.g. Aeneas, Caesar, and Saladin in spite of his adherence to the religion of the renegade Christian Mahomet who was sent down to the circle allotted to the Schismatics.This list, with its supplement in Purg. xxii, deserves study; both should, however, be used with caution: the omission of well-known names should not be taken to imply ignorance on the poet's part. As Dante had but little Greek, it is obvious that he had not read the works of all the authors named.The writers and philosophers in the first list are: the five poets already mentioned, Aristotle, Socrates, Plato, Democritus, Diogenes, Anaxagoras, Thales, Empedocles, Heraclitus, Zeno, Dioscorides, Orpheus, Cicero, Linus (v.l. Livy), Euclid, Ptolemy, Hippocrates, and Galen (Inf. iv. 131 ff.).

I liked Dr Pappelbaum's presentation a lot. My response? Read it; reread it; understand it; adjust to its doctrines; follow its prescriptions and program plan and be flexible and resilient. I totally concur with Dr Pappelbaum's belief that managed care need not be an end to one's pediatric career, but a program that can and must continue to work for our patients. Managed care will not go away; it is chronic, and we must adapt to it. The theme of both Dr Pappelbaums's article and of this meeting—as a whole and for every part of it—is that change is the "here and now," and that we must adapt to it. The constant message is that pediatricians must go forward in their communities with all the peer help and all the consultative help that each can muster. They must work within the structure and boundaries of change, striving for the most benefit for the patients they care for and for themselves. Dr Nazarian, whose presentation was equally excellent, has a good view of medicine now and medicine in the future. I have no challenge to his views or conclusions. Like Dr Nazarian and like Dr Elsa Stone, who spoke yesterday, I employ pediatric nurse practitioners (PNPs) in my clinical practice. I am the senior partner of an eight-physician (four male and four female) practice in an academic community. We have two full-time PNPs and one physician assistant associated in our practice. As valued and contributing members of our health care team, they are true physician extenders.

Common Complaint

Vulvovaginitis is a common complaint in the prepubertal child. The proximity of the vagina to the anus and the thin uncornified vaginal epithelium make the young child especially susceptible to vulvovaginal infection. Not only is hygiene often suboptimal in this age group, but pinworm infestations, bubblebaths, harsh soaps, and tight-fitting nylon tights can all contribute to the vulvar irritation. Because children are frequently sent to gynecologists, traumatized by a rectal examination as the first part of the evaluation, or sent for an x-ray of the vagina with the hope of excluding a radiopaque foreign body, we believed it would be useful to present our approach to the gynecologic evaluation of the prepubertal child in which the kneechest position is used for visualizing the vagina. METHODS The evaluation of a prepubertal child with vulvovaginitis in the Gynecology Clinic of Children's Hospital is done in the following order: (1) history; (2) inspection of the perineum with the child supine; (3) visualization of the vagina and cervix in kneechest position; (4) cultures; and (5) a rectal examination in girls with vaginal bleeding or abdominal pain. The knee-chest position (Figure) provides a particularly good view of the vagina and cervix without instrumentation. The little girl is asked "to lie on her tummy with her bottom in the air." She is reassured that the examiner plans "to take a look" but "will not put anything inside her." The child rests her head to one side on folded arms and supports her remaining weight on bended knees (6 to 8 in apart).

Background and aims The management of thoracic wounds induced by sharp objects outside an extreme emergency remains controversial. The means vary from exploratory thoracotomy to simple monitoring. Between these two extremes, videothoracoscopy as a means of exploration plays an important role and helps to avoid unnecessary thoracotomies, thus making it possible to make early diagnosis of diaphragmatic lesions. The aim of this study was to report our experience in videothoracoscopic management of thoracic wounds by penetrating objects. Material and methods From January 2010 to December 2015, 58 patients with an average age 22.5 years with a thoracic stab wound with a stable hemodynamic condition underwent videothoracoscopy. Results Thoracoscopy revealed a diaphragmatic injury in 17 patients, cardiac or pericardial wounds in four and a haemorrhagic pulmonary injury in 1; all were treated at video-assisted mini-thoracotomy. In the other 36 patients, videothoracoscopic exploration did not demonstrate any intra-thoracic lesion and the procedure consisted of aspiration of a residual hemothorax with the installation of a good view-controlled thoracic drainage. Hospital stay was between 48 and 72 h. Conclusion Videothoracoscopy is a safe and effective way to explore the thoracic cavity in patients with chest wounds with suspected diaphragmatic lesions. It avoids thoracotomy especially in hemodynamically stable patients.

The East Coast of Surabaya consists of large mangrove and fish pond areas. These areas are crucial for the ecosystem and for providing food and shelter for the local community. If the water quality decreases the mangroves will not be able to provide these functions. The water quality of these areas can be measured in two ways: by looking at the physico-chemical parameters or by looking at the biological parameters. Both offer a very good view of what state the area is in. The purpose of this study is to find out what the differences are between the Mulyorejo and the Wonorejo areas to see what differences there are within the East Coast of Surabaya and what could be the main cause of these differences. The data shows that the physico-chemical data does not comply with the limitation factors. The main problem are the nutrients which will have to be lowered to preserve the ecosystem. In terms of the biological state of the mangrove, there are few problems found. It is, however, unclear why the tree density in one of the Wonorejo areas is declining and it should be determined what the reason for this is.

The North

The earthwork known as Cæsar's Camp or Castle Hill is one mile and three-quarters (3 kil.) to the north-west of Folkestone Harbour. It is a conspicuous object from the railway to all who look for it, being situated on the summit of the line of hills termed by geologists the Chalk Escarpment, and overlooking from a commanding position the whole of the low ground between it and the sea. A good view of it taken from the east may be seen in the frontispiece to Mr. W. Topley's Geology of the Weald. Geologically the ground on which the Camp has been constructed corresponds to that of Mount Caburn on the opposite side of the weald valley; both overlook the weald valley, but from opposite directions, both occupy the chalk ridges which bound the valley on three sides, and both are situated not far from the coast line on which that extensive geological area opens into the English Channel.

Infant Feeding Tube

ABSTRACTDuring microvascular anastomosis, it is important to maintain the microsurgical field irrigated yet dry so as to achieve a good view of the vessels for approximation. In this method, an infant feeding tube (size 4), with its tip sandwiched between layers of dry gauze and a surgical glove component placed in the anastomotic field and the other end connected to a suction apparatus, is used to maintain the microsurgical field free from flooding. It also has the additional advantage of providing a stable platform for microvascular anastomosis.
