Round Table Discussion

Chairman Costello: The management of vascular nevi is of great interest to the pediatrician. He more than any other specialist, including the general practitioner, is first consulted regarding the advisability of treating a hemangioma and as to the best method of treatment which will insure a good therapeutic and cosmetic result. Since there appears to be no unanimity of opinion regarding these points, it was thought that a round table discussion by a small group would help us envision a better approach to this interesting and important problem. Permit me to preface my remarks by stating that some pediatricians believe that the dermatologist and radiologist are apt to treat hemangiomas too early and that there are hemangiomas treated which would have disappeared spontaneously, this latter thought being influenced to a great extent by the report of Lister who claimed that superficial hemangiomas will disappear completely in the great majority of cases. The dermatologist and radiologist, on the other hand, believe that the pediatrician in some instances, because of the opinion expressed above, permits too long a time to elapse before treatment is instituted, thereby losing the golden opportunity for effective rapid permanent cure of these hemangiomas. There are arguments to be advanced in the substantiation of both opinions, and it is for this reason that we hope by free and open discussion to arrive at a more accurate answer to the questions which have been raised. In this brief presentation it is hoped that I will be able to place in sharp relief all the important aspects of heredity or familial incidence of these lesions, the time of their occurrence, the types, their behavior and significance, the indicated type of therapy, and the results which may be accomplished in. their proper treatment.

The Way

We have taken part to an exceptionally rich colloquium, characterized by a large amount of information in all fields of physics, and a remarkable collection of observational data. Our understanding of what is going on inside the stars has changed in a radical manner during the last years, on one side because the observations are bringing new kinds of information, and on the other side because theory in its development is taking into account a number of processes, some of them having been completely ignored only ten years ago.It is impossible to draw here a complete list of problems. There are many cases where some inconsistency could be found in the theory itself or some contradiction between observational data and theory. I recommended that such a list should be drawn carefully. The participants to the round table discussion will give their contribution, helping to open the way to new fields of research and to new discoveries.

Early Phases

Chairman Lincoln:We will try to stay as close to the subject matter as possible and then if we have time and you want to go off into other subjects connected with tuberculosis, we can. I think there is plenty of material for discussion in early diagnosis and the treatment of the early phases of tuberculosis, that is, primary and postprimary tuberculosis. This will take up our time without going into the discussion of chronic pulmonary tuberculosis, since that is not a form of tuberculosis which is common in children. Specific therapy has changed the attitude of pediatricians to tuberculosis. Formerly a pediatricians took the attitude that the great majority of children who had primary infection, evidenced by positive tuberculin tests without or with positive x-rays, would get better without ever having any symptoms; that a few of them might develop complications such as tuberculosis of the cervical nodes, or of the bones or joints, which could be turned over to a specialist and not be seen again by the pediatrician. A few cases would develop fatal complications such as meningitis or miliary and promptly die. Therefore, there was little of interest to the clinician in the story of tuberculosis in the child. As recently as 5 years ago, just before chemotherapy, I talked to pediatricians in many teaching centers and I was repeatedly told that the diagnosis and the care of tuberculous children was a minor problem and that tuberculosis was practically never seen in their services. Since chemotherapy there has been a new interest in tuberculosis and I think this is shown partly by this round table discussion.

AbstractI write these notes on Romans 15:1–33 (read together with 1:1–15 and other passages of Romans) as resources for a group discussion of Romans 15 and its teaching about mission for the group's life context. I presuppose that the group will want to have three rounds of discussion. According to the size of the group these three rounds can take place in one long session – with the larger group breaking down in smaller groups and coming back together three times, for instance during an evening – or in three shorter sessions. The first round-table discussion is focused on the group members' first readings of Romans 15. The second round-table involves comparing the members' readings with those of scholars. For this purpose, since there are presently three types of scholarly readings of Romans, I present them, underscoring the different ways they conceive of Paul's teaching about mission. Throughout I also presuppose that each member of the group is committed to "read with" the other members this text of Paul as a Scripture about mission, a process that requires a third round-table.
