THE WELFARE of children is greatly improved by the many essential and useful products provided through the enterprise of commercial organizations. An important service is rendered the practicing physician when such products are brought to his attention by appropriate advertising. Advertising in a medical journal is a favorite means for accomplishing this purpose. A twofold benefit results; to the purveyor of the product, and to the physician—who not only becomes acquainted with a product he may use to the benefit of his patients, but also, through the financial support the journal receives, he may be served by a better medical literature. It is evident that the advertising pages should be considered as a source of information. As such, these pages impose a grave responsibility upon us; it is our aim to have all the information brought to the readers of Pediatrics both accurate and clear.

Literature searching has been revolutionised by the desktop computer. Today it is almost inconceivable to be without the tools to efficiently and comprehensively examine the medical literature. However, as this biomedical literature grows ever more vast, researchers and clinicians need to know which of the many biomedical and psychiatric databases will best cover their particular area of interest. No databases can cover everything. It is necessary to select the most appropriate source of information for the task at hand and for a literature review this will usually entail the use of multiple methods of data collection. In this brief review databases of particular interest to psychiatrists are discussed.

Rock ’n’ roll music and its offshoots, including pop, hard rock, rap, r&b, funk, folk, and many others, have become the standard language of today’s musical theatre. Theatre singers, performers, and coaches need a source of information on these styles, their origins, and their performance practices. Rock in the Musical Theatre: A Guide for Singers fills this need. Today’s musical theatre training programs are now including rock music in their coursework and rock songs and musicals in their repertoires. This is a text for those trainees, mentors, courses, and productions. It will also be of great value to working professionals, teachers, music directors, and coaches less familiar with rock styles, or who want to improve their rock-related skills. The author, an experienced music director, vocal coach, and university professor, and an acknowledged expert on rock music in the theatre, examines the many aspects of performing rock music in the theatre and offers practical advice through a combination of aesthetic and theoretical study; extensive discussions of musical, vocal, and acting techniques; and chronicles of coaching sessions. The book also includes advice from working actors, casting directors, and music directors who specialize in rock music for the stage.

<p>The default risk is a reality as well for the companies as for the economy of a country. This paper has highlighted the fact that in spite of the many incentives to promote Tunisian SMEs, creation of these companies remains below expectations. Thus, a study assessing the risk of failure is imperative. A multicriteria methodology of decision-making in a sample of 41 small and medium-sized enterprises used financing by the Tunisian Solidarity Bank (BTS) as one of the financial support structures relative to investment credits. The results showed that the application of a policy of caution (pessimistic procedure) in the granting of loans by the BTS is the main obstacle to the creation, development and sustainability of the Tunisian SMEs.</p>

I was appointed the Editor-in-Chief (EIC) of the Malawi Medical Journal (MMJ), a periodical of the Malawi College of Medicine (www.medcol.mw) and the Medical Association of Malawi (MAM) in February 2019. It is a daunting task certainly to be at the helm of such a prestigious medical journal indexed in/by almost all the databases that matter in medical publishing. Our journal has published since the 1970s, first as the Medical Quarterly, and later as the Malawi Medical Journal.

SummaryOver the past one hundred years medical views on the cause of glue ear have frequently changed. The medical literature was reviewed to see if these changes reflected advances in the level of scientific support for different causes. This revealed that only a few of the many proposed causes command any scientific support. An explanation for the changing pattern of views on the aetiology of glue ear was therefore sought by considering secular changes in medical knowledge and belief in general. This suggested that the views held on the cause of glue ear at any given time are influenced and largely determined by the prevailing knowledge and beliefs of medicine as a whole. This phenomenon is not peculiar to glue ear—though conditions about which there is considerable uncertainty are probably more susceptible to such influences.

The Shelter enclosing the wrecked Chernobyl Unit 4 reactor continues to deteriorate posing an increasing environmental threat due to structural degradation and the ingress of water. The uncertain nature of the wreckage within the Shelter combined with structural instability and high radiation fields make the remediation a very challenging task. A decision-based approach known as the Shelter Implementation Plan (SIP) has been adopted as a way of resolving the many difficulties. This plan has the financial support of more than 20 nations under the Chernobyl Shelter Fund (CSF) which is administrated by the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD). Project execution will pose a number of unique problems in technology, project management, contracting, nuclear regulation and risk management.

Resumen En oposición a la tendencia de considerar el dibujo arquitectónico como una simple fuente de información sobre el proyecto, o limitarse a contemplar su eventual belleza, este ensayo pretende analizar un boceto en su especificidad. Para hacer este tipo de experimento, el texto utiliza uno de los muchos bocetos realizados por Paulo Mendes da Rocha durante la preparación del proyecto para el Museo de Arte Contemporáneo de la Universidad de Sao Paulo (1974-1975). El objetivo no es aislar artificialmente un dibujo entre los muchos otros que le dan una autonomía que no le es propia, sino adoptar un nuevo punto de vista, a través del análisis de un diseño dentro del universo de diseño específico del arquitecto brasileño.Abstract Against the tendency to consider the drawing in architecture as a simple source of information about the project, or simply to contemplate its potential beauty, this essay aims to analyse one it in its specificity. To carry out this experiment, the text uses one of the many sketches made by Paulo Mendes da Rocha during the preparation of the project for the Museum of Contemporary Art from University of São Paulo (1974-1975). The aim is not to artificially isolate one drawing among the many, giving it an autonomy that it does not possess, but to adopt a new point of view on the universe of the Brazilian architect.

Initial Transmission

The principal goals of editing biomedical publications are to select, improve, and disseminate information that will advance the art and science of the discipline covered by the publication. For example, biomedical publications are a major source of information for the improvement of medical care. In addition to initial transmission to readers at the time of publication, information from journal articles is often carried by the public media. Published articles influence educators and opinion leaders, who transmit the information to many persons who do not read the original publications. Medical journal articles can also be subsequently accessed by clinicians and researchers seeking information about particular topics. Such searches are facilitated by online search engines (see 25.0, Resources) and provide the information essential to practicing evidence-based medicine,1 in which patient-care decisions are informed by acquiring and assessing the relevant medical literature. These myriad uses of biomedical literature indicate the importance of the procedures to improve quality involved in editorial assessment and processing...

The volume of literature on medical audit and the broader field of quality assurance is expanding rapidly. Medical audit is now a requirement for all medical practitioners; therefore, to perform it, they need to know something about it. There is a multitude of articles written in the journals, especially the British Medical Journal and the Journal of the Royal Society of Medicine. However, in this paper I intend concentrating on some of the many books pertaining to this field which have been published recently.

Stimulation Of

WHILE there has always been a shortage of qualified professional personnel in the field of mental retardation, the relatively recent stimulation of public interest in this field has greatly multiplied the need. Among the many reasons for this unusual recent interest, two seem paramount. First, has been the phenomenal growth of a strongly organized, increasingly well oriented, and intensely enthusiastic national parent organization. This has resulted in making available more funds than ever before for this problem as well as stimulating a high level of federal interest and activity. This will eventually remove one important block to progress in this field, the lack of financial support for many of its aspects. Secondly, the increasing public acceptance and support of research, both basic and applied, and the growing faith in its ability to solve the problems of prevention as well as to greatly improve the problems of present management, are tending to exchange the past aura of helpless futility to one of expanding hopefulness.
