Death By Drowning

Unintentional drowning is the sixth most common cause of accidental death, accounting for 4,086 deaths (1.4 per 100,000) in the United States in 2007.1 In children, drowning is the second leading cause of injury-related death, and those aged 1–3 years have the highest rate of drowning.2 More than 1,400 pediatric drownings were reported in the United States in 2008.3 Many drowning deaths are due to lack of supervision in the bathtub, unprotected access to a pool, or lack of swimming skills.3 For every death by drowning, six children are hospitalized for drowning, and up to 10% of survivors experience severe brain damage.2

sorbed dose must be measured by placing dose meters into the carriers, as described in Section V. If all of the gamma radiation coming from the 60Co source were absorbed by the irradiated goods, the radiation facility would have % irradiation efficiency. This is of course impossible because some of the radiation will be absorbed by the concrete shielding, by the carrier metal, and by the water below the source rack. Well-designed gamma facilities have an efficiency of about 30%. Designs differ­ ent from that shown in Figure 3 may use tote boxes on a conveyor belt instead of carriers hanging from a monorail, or the carriers may move around the source in a double loop instead of a single loop. Storage of the radioactive source in air in a concrete-shielded or lead-shielded cask instead of the water pool is also possible but is not often practiced. The outside appearance of a gamma irradiation facility is not much different from that of any other small or medium size industrial plant. A view of the first irradiation plant in the United States designed exclusively for the processing of foods (1) is shown in Figure 4. In principle, a 137Cs irradiator operates exactly like a 60Co irradiator. Some­ what less concrete shielding (1.2 m) is needed because the 0.66 MeV gamma rays of ,37Cs are less penetrating than the 1.33 MeV of Co. The longer half-life of

Local Transmission

Abstract Chikungunya fever is a mosquito-borne febrile illness caused by Chikungunya virus (CHIKV), an alphavirus from the Togaviridae family. It is transmitted by primarily Aedes aegytpi and Aedes albopictus mosquitos [1]. Once of little importance in the Americas, local transmission was identified in the Caribbean in late 2013. More than 1000 travelers returning to the continental United States have been diagnosed with CHIKV. More importantly, there have been 9 documented cases of autochthonous disease in Florida as of September 16, 2014 [2].

Lymph Node Syndrome

The excellent case report "Mucocutaneous Lymph Node Syndrome (MLNS) in the Continental United States" by Goldsmith et al. (Pediatrics 57:431, March 1976) is an example of the importance of the report of a single case. This should alert others to this syndrome in their own practices. I am reminded of a note by Roger Lee1 in 1952: "Are three cases enough to make a series? Parenthetically I have a fondness for the carefully reported single case, which in the days before mass production was a feature of a medical journal .... a series of three cases leads to statistical atrocities and aberrations and deductions."
