The clinical and pathologic features of kwashiorkor are described in an 11-year-old white male resident of Kentucky. The syndrome was present for 2 years. Remissions occurred with adequate diet and relapses were not prevented by vitamin therapy. Characteristic lesions in the skin, liver, pancreas and thyroid were present. In addition, lesions in the alimentary tract characterized by hyperplasia of the epithelium are described; these are believed to be an integral part of the syndrome.

AbstractThis article employs palimpsestuous reading practices to query the transpacific reach and imperial pedigree of the comic strip “Charisma Man.” Turning to Max Weber’s theory of “charismatic authority” to understand the comic’s humorous portrayals of white male heterosexual privilege in Asia, the article proposes that the comic strip illuminates the patterns of raced and gendered “hereditary charisma” that continue to haunt transpacific relations. “Charisma Man,” penned by a team of North American men living in Japan, links contemporary white migrants across Asia – especially native English teachers – with a longue durée of Euro-American imperial actors abroad and builds meaning through intertextual engagement with the iconic cultural texts Superman and Madame Butterfly. The article concludes that “Charisma Man” makes light of white male hereditary charisma in Asia through a layering of temporally-disjointed transpacific discourses and, in turn, adds one more layer to a palimpsestuous sedimentation of sexist and racist hierarchies, normalizing their continuation within contemporary globalization.

AbstractThis article looks at the way that the so-called Third Quest relates to past versions of the Quest of the Historical Jesus. Nine different forms of the Quest are uncovered. The history of the Quest is then re-examined in the light of this mapping exercise, drawing on New Historicist insights. Five themes are taken up: the dominance of white, male European/North American contributors to the Quest; its close alliance with Western bourgeous capitalism and individualism; issues surroundings the Quest's marketability and popularity; the consequences of reading the Quest less as a single narrative than as a collection of local ideological explorations; the necessity and dangers of re-writing the Quest's own history. In conclusion, it is suggested that the future of the Quest lies with greater attention to ideology, not less. This in turn invites a reconsideration of the christological framework within which Jesus Research must inevitably be placed.

We describe the first human case of lobomycosis caused byLacazia loboi in a 42-year-old white male resident of Georgia. The patient had traveled to Venezuela 7 years earlier, where he had planned to rappel down Angel Falls in Canaima. Although he never actually rappelled the falls, he did walk under the falls at least three times, exposing himself to the high water pressures of the falls. He noticed a small pustule with surrounding erythema developing on the skin of his right chest wall. The lesion gradually increased in size and had an appearance of a keloid. For cosmetic reasons, the patient sought medical treatment to remove the lesion. After an uncomplicated excision of the lesion, the patient recovered completely. The excised tissue was fixed in formalin for pathologic examination. Tissue sections stained by hematoxylin and eosin, periodic acid-Schiff stain, and Gomori methenamine silver stain procedures showed numerous histiocytes, multinucleated giant cells, and numerous globose or subglobose, lemon-shaped cells producing multiple blastoconidia connected by narrow tube-like connectors and catenate chains of various lengths characteristic of L. loboi.

Purpose The original Connected Speech Test (CST; Cox et al., 1987) is a well-regarded and often utilized speech perception test. The aim of this study was to develop a new version of the CST using a neutral North American accent and to assess the use of this updated CST on participants with normal hearing. Method A female English speaker was recruited to read the original CST passages, which were recorded as the new CST stimuli. A study was designed to assess the newly recorded CST passages' equivalence and conduct normalization. The study included 19 Western University students (11 females and eight males) with normal hearing and with English as a first language. Results Raw scores for the 48 tested passages were converted to rationalized arcsine units, and average passage scores more than 1 rationalized arcsine unit standard deviation from the mean were excluded. The internal reliability of the 32 remaining passages was assessed, and the two-way random effects intraclass correlation was .944. Conclusion The aim of our study was to create new CST stimuli with a more general North American accent in order to minimize accent effects on the speech perception scores. The study resulted in 32 passages of equivalent difficulty for listeners with normal hearing.
