From Cape Verde to Newport

This Report from the Field is a post-mortem reflection on a statewide memorialization project on slavery that ultimately failed. In this essay, I attribute the failure of the project in large part to conflicting historical approaches and claims to narrative authority over the representation of a specifically Rhode Island image of slavery. Although the organization studied here no longer exists, other nascent grassroots organizations dedicated to the memorialization of slavery and grappling with issues of emerging narratives and competing claims to local memory may derive benefit from my analysis and the proposed “scaffolded conversations” with which I conclude.

SUMMARY In nine fowls with intersexual characteristics from a single hatch of commercial Rhode Island Red pullets, the shanks and tibiae were of female size; plumage and macroscopic post-mortem findings suggested the female type, although two birds had a few masculine saddle feathers. All except one, which had an extensive gonadal tumour, had a single left gonad which was atypical. Behaviour was asexual, except for one animal with masculine aggressiveness. The head appendages were masculine in all cases. In eight of the nine birds the gonads consisted mostly of ovarian-type stroma in which were a few immature and atrophic tubules, some cords of luteal cells, and a few cystic follicles. Oogenesis and spermatogenesis were never seen. Granular medullary cells of the gonadal stroma were quantitatively a most important cellular element, and it is suggested that their secretions may have been of significance in the development of the secondary sexual characters of the birds. Lipids in the gonads were histochemically similar to those of the normal ovary. Gonadal tumours were present in two cases, one tumour being very large, but they did not modify the intersexual appearance and behaviour of the birds. In general histology they resembled human dysgerminomata, and it is suggested that their main cellular component was derived from the germinal epithelium and was similar in origin to the medullary cells. Compared with the gonads, negligible amounts of lipid were present in the tumours. The other gonads were not neoplastic, although they may have had that potentiality.

Means Of Transmission

The deleterious effect of post mortem degeneration results in a progressive loss of ultrastructural detail. This had led to reluctance (if not refusal) to examine autopsy material by means of transmission electron microscopy. Nevertheless, Johannesen has drawn attention to the fact that a sufficient amount of significant features may be preserved in order to enable the establishment of a definitive diagnosis, even on “graveyard” tissue.Routine histopathology of the autopsy organs of a woman of 78 showed the presence of a well circumscribed adenoma in the anterior lobe of the pituitary. The lesion came into close apposition to the pars intermedia. Its architecture was more compact and less vascular than that of the anterior lobe. However, there was some grouping of the cells in relation to blood vessels. The cells tended to be smaller, with a higher nucleocytoplasmic ratio. The cytoplasm showed a paucity of granules. In some of the cells, it was eosinophilic.

Abstract The AMAGuides to the Evaluation of Permanent Impairment (AMA Guides) is the most widely used basis for determining impairment and is used in state workers’ compensation systems, federal systems, automobile casualty, and personal injury, as well as by the majority of state workers’ compensation jurisdictions. Two tables summarize the edition of the AMA Guides used and provide information by state. The fifth edition (2000) is the most commonly used edition: California, Delaware, Georgia, Hawaii, Kentucky, New Hampshire, Idaho, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Massachusetts, Nevada, North Dakota, Ohio, Vermont, and Washington. Eleven states use the sixth edition (2007): Alaska, Arizona, Louisiana, Mississippi, Montana, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Tennessee, and Wyoming. Eight states still commonly make use of the fourth edition (1993): Alabama, Arkansas, Kansas, Maine, Maryland, South Dakota, Texas, and West Virginia. Two states use the Third Edition, Revised (1990): Colorado and Oregon. Connecticut does not stipulate which edition of the AMA Guides to use. Six states use their own state specific guidelines (Florida, Illinois, Minnesota, New York, North Carolina, and Wisconsin), and six states do not specify a specific guideline (Michigan, Missouri, Nebraska, New Jersey, South Carolina, and Virginia). Statutes may or may not specify which edition of the AMA Guides to use. Some states use their own guidelines for specific problems and use the Guides for other issues.
