A description is given of incontinentia pigmenti, with special reference to the various clinical stages and the theories of the causes of the condition. One case seen in a girl is described. The case was characterized by a very severe vesicular stage and marked eosinophilia in the blood as well as in the skin lesions. Herpes simplex virus could be regularly demonstrated in fluid from fresh vesicles. The neutralization test for herpes simplex showed no increase in the antibody titer of the patient, while during the following months an increase in titer was noted in the mother. At 2 years of age the child was normally developed, apart from a somewhat retarded eruption of the decidous teeth.

Background: Diarrhea is still a major health problem in Indonesia. The Province of East Java ranks the second-highest number of diarrhea incidence after West Java, which reached 1,048,885 patients. The most dominant factors contributing to diarrheal diseases are water and family latrines. Purpose: This study aims to analyze the relationship between access to drinking water and proper sanitation with the incidence of diarrhea in East Java. Methods: This study was an observational study with a correlation study design. The population used was all people suffering from diarrheal diseases handled by each district in East Java Province in 2017. The method of sampling used aggregate data on the number of cases of diarrhea handled and the number of people with access to drinking water and proper sanitation per district/city in East Java province based on the East Java Health Profile 2017. The variables studied were the number of people who had access to drinking water (feasible), the number of people who had access to proper sanitation facilities (healthy latrines), and the number of diarrhea cases handled in East Java Province, with analysis techniques in the form of Pearson correlation. Results: This study showed that there was a relationship between residents who had access to inadequate drinking water (p = 0.00) which had a strong relationship of 0.48 (strong enough) and there was also a relationship between residents with inadequate access to sanitation facilities (not have healthy latrines) (p = 0.00) which had a strong relationship of 0.53 (strong enough). Conclusion: There is a relationship between access to drinking water and sanitation that is not feasible with the incidence of diarrhea found in East Java.

Serial observations were obtained over an 18-month period of 270 Indian children with pyoderma. Beta-hemolytic streptococci, predominantly group A, and coagulasepositive staphylococci were recovered from the majority of lesions (80% and 70%, respectively), both on the initial and on subsequent cultures. The predominant agglutination patterns of streptococcal strains were similar to those described in other studies of superficial skin infections. Another agglutination pattern, 17/23/47, not previously observed to be prevalent in streptococci from skin lesions, was identified in a significant number of skin cultures. In addition, the hitherto undescribed association of M-types, including type 41 and a new M-type, with strains of T-agglutination pattern 3/13/B3264 was found. In striking contrast to the streptococcal strains, established "impetigo" strains of Staph. aureus (type 71 or other group II strains) were in the minority. Throat cultures of children with pyoderma suggested a limited relationship between infection or colonization of the pharynx and infection of the skin, while nasal streptococci were more closely correlated with and possibly derived from the flora of the skin lesions. Titers of ASO were not often elevated over control values in children with pyoderma, while anti-DNAse B titers were more commonly increased. Group A streptococci isolated from skin lesions prior to or at the time acute nephritis was recognized included type 12 (M and T) and strains classified by T-agglutination as 5/27/44, 11 and 4. The role of infection or colonization of the upper respiratory tract in the relationship of pyoderma to nephritis was not clarified in these studies. Moreover, in view of the frequency of change of group A streptococcal strains in skin lesions, as shown in serial observations in this study, the nephritogenic significance of streptococci recovered from skin lesions at the time of recognition of nephritis must remain in some doubt. Questions concerning the pathogenesis of endemic nephritis associated with pyoderma can probably be most reliably answered by frequent, prospective observations of a normal population with significant occurrence of streptococcal skin infections.

Specific Amount

Pseudomonas aeruginosa, a gram-negative rod bacterium, is a causative agent of waterborne pneumonia and presents high tolerance against conventional disinfectants. The inorganic biocidal reagents, copper and silver, were applied to inactivate P. aeruginosa inoculated in a synthetic drinking water (SDW). Additionally, the relationship of the specific amount of accumulated copper and silver reagents (Cs) on P. aeruginosa with inactivation profile was elucidated in this study. Flow cytometry (FCM) following staining with SYTO 9 and PI was used for detection of bacterial viability and density. Individual copper and silver reagents, and their combination, exhibited excellent biocidal abilities even at the concentration of 0.05 mgCu/L and 0.005 mgAg/L. The critical amounts of accumulated disinfectant (Cs) were calculated at 2.82×10−7 μgCu/cellsi and 5.13×10−8 μgAg/cellsi at an incubation of 70 h. Consequently, the role of disinfectant on the inactivation of P. aeruginosa and the assessment of biocidal ability of copper, silver, and their combination were successfully explained by evaluating the terms Cs and Cc.

Water Borne

Access to clean drinking water and sanitation facilities have a direct positive impact on health through prevention of water-borne diseases, especially diarrhoeal morbidity of children. Lack of WES (Water and Environmental Sanitation) services and poor hygiene practices in Pakistan contribute significantly to the prevalence of diarrhoea, a major cause of infant death and children less than five years of age. The estimates show that about 30 percent of total deaths among children are attributed to diarrhoeal disease [Gallup (2001); UNICEF (2000)], and 4.1 years in life expectancy can be added if water borne diseases are eliminated [Ali and Haq (2003)]. Hence, reduction of diarrhoeal morbidity stands out as an important policy goal, which can ultimately lead to reduction in infant/child mortality. In this paper, we shall examine the relationship of WES interventions with that of the incidence of diarrhoea among children under age 10.

Biologic Factors

The Mesozoic-Cenozoic coral Order Scleractinia has been suggested to have originated or evolved (1) by direct descent from the Paleozoic Order Rugosa or (2) by the development of a skeleton in members of one of the anemone groups that probably have existed throughout Phanerozoic time. In spite of much work on the subject, advocates of the direct descent hypothesis have failed to find convincing evidence of this relationship. Critical points are:(1) Rugosan septal insertion is serial; Scleractinian insertion is cyclic; no intermediate stages have been demonstrated. Apparent intermediates are Scleractinia having bilateral cyclic insertion or teratological Rugosa.(2) There is convincing evidence that the skeletons of many Rugosa were calcitic and none are known to be or to have been aragonitic. In contrast, the skeletons of all living Scleractinia are aragonitic and there is evidence that fossil Scleractinia were aragonitic also. The mineralogic difference is almost certainly due to intrinsic biologic factors.(3) No early Triassic corals of either group are known. This fact is not compelling (by itself) but is important in connection with points 1 and 2, because, given direct descent, both changes took place during this only stage in the history of the two groups in which there are no known corals.
