We agree with most of the points that are so ably made in the letter of Drs. Newman and Gross. We do not consider "a positive Coombs test sufficient indication for an exchange transfusion in an erythroblastic infant born into a family in which previously affected siblings have required exchange transfusions." We did say, however, that "if a family has a previous history of severe erythroblastosis, the baby is Rh positive, and the result of Coombs test is positive, we find early replacement transfusion essential."

In a recent article in the British Medical Journal Maurice-Williams & Dunwoody (1988) reported two patients with frontal meningiomas who presented initially to psychiatrists. The correct diagnosis was made in one of them after prolonged, perhaps unnecessary, psychiatric treatment. In the other the diagnosis was made at autopsy. In this case psychiatrists were only briefly involved and neurosurgical referral had been made promptly. The authors, who treat these reports as a cautionary tale, conclude by warning psychiatrists to pay special attention to a number of features in the history and examination of psychiatric patients. In particular we are told that suspicion should arise in the presence of gradual non-remitting symptoms such as irritability, memory loss, self-neglect, dysphasia or incontinence in patients without a previous history of psychiatric disease or clear precipitating factors. They also suggest that we pay attention to the views of relatives when they feel the patient suffers from a physical rather than a psychiatric illness, and emphasise that early diagnosis leads to easier surgical removal and better outcome.

Popliteal artery thrombosis may present as a complication of an osteochondroma located in the vicinity of the knee joint. This is a case report of a 26-year-old man with symptoms of the right lower extremity ischaemia without a previous history of vascular disease or trauma. Plain radiography, magnetic resonance angiography and Doppler ultrasonography documented the presence of an osteochondrous structure of the proximal tibial metaphysis, which displaced and compressed the popliteal artery, causing its occlusion due to intraluminal thrombosis..The patient was operated and histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of osteochondroma.

SummaryA 26-year-old man with a previous history of external twin bursitis was remitted to our Department for a bone scintigraphy. Before the study, the patient performed an elevated number of intense sprints. Bone scintigraphy showed a bilaterally increased activity in both anterior rectum muscles suggesting rhabdomyolysis. Biochemical studies and MRT confirmed the diagnosis.

Central Africa remained botanically unknown to the outside world up to the end of the eighteenth century. This paper provides a historical account of plant explorations in the Luangwa Valley. The first plant specimens were collected in 1897 and the last serious botanical explorations were made in 1993. During this period there have been 58 plant collectors in the Luangwa Valley with peak activity recorded in the 1960s. In 1989 1,348 species of vascular plants were described in the Luangwa Valley. More botanical collecting is needed with a view to finding new plant taxa, and also to provide a satisfactory basis for applied disciplines such as ecology, phytogeography, conservation and environmental impact assessment.

Portugal has port, Spain has sherry, Sicily has Marsala –– and California has angelica. Angelica is California's original wine: The intensely sweet, fortified dessert cordial has been made in the state for more than two centuries –– primarily made from Mission grapes, first brought to California by the Spanish friars. Angelica was once drunk in vast quantities, but now fewer than a dozen vintners make angelica today. These holdouts from an earlier age are each following a personal quest for the real. For unlike port and sherry, which have strict rules about their production, angelica never gelled into something so distinct that connoisseurs can say, ““This is angelica. This is not.”” This piece looks at the history of the drink, its foggy origins in the Mission period and on through angelica's heyday and down to its degeneration into a staple of the back-alley wino set. Several current vintners are profiled, and they suggest an uncertain future for this cordial.

This article discusses an international exhibition that detailed the recent history of African Americans in Pittsburgh. Methodologically, the exhibition paired oral history excerpts with selected historic photographs to evoke a sense of Black life during the twentieth century. Thematically, showcasing the Black experience in Pittsburgh provided a chance to provoke among a wider public more nuanced understandings of the civil rights movement, an era particularly prone to problematic and superficial misreadings, but also to interject an African American perspective into the scholarship on deindustrializing cities, a literature which treats racism mostly in white-centric terms. This essay focuses on the choices made in reconciling these thematic and methodological dimensions when designing this exhibition.

History Of

A 43-year-old male, with no previous history of mental illness, was diagnosed with coronary heart disease, after which he became acutely depressed and attempted suicide by ingesting an organophosphate pesticide. He was admitted to an intensive care unit and treated with pralidoxime, atropine, and oxygen. His coronary occlusion pattern required early coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) surgery. His family, apprehensive of a repeat suicidal attempt, requested surgery be performed as soon as possible. He recovered well from the OP poisoning and was mentally fit to express informed consent 2 weeks after admission. Seventeen days after poisoning, he underwent coronary artery bypass grafting and recovered uneventfully. Six years later, he remains in excellent health. We report this case because to the best of our knowledge there is no literature regarding CABG performed soon after organophosphate poisoning.
