Chairman Bloomer: In leading this round table I have with me Dr. Charles Strother, Professor of Clinical Psychology in the College of Medicine of the University of Washington at Seattle. I am from the University of Michigan Speech Clinic in Ann Arbor. We are very glad to be with you at this round table because it suggests the close relationship between the fields of speech pathology and pediatrics. We come to the American Academy of Pediatrics as representatives of the American Speech and Hearing Association which is the national organization for professional people interested in the study of speech disorders, their causes and their methods of treatment. Perhaps you are familiar with the official publication of the Association, the Journal of Speech and Hearing Disorders. We bring you greetings from the Association. I think you may be interested in a brief outline of our general plan of discussion for the afternoon. The first part of our discussion will review the importance of a knowledge of speech disorders to specialists in pediatrics. Next we shall discuss in some detail the nature of these disorders and the etiologic factors which are frequently encountered, and then we shall suggest methods for handling the speech problems which the individual child may present. We shall be glad to have your participation, your questions, and your comments at any time during our discussion. We feel that this subject is particularly timely because of the steadily increasing interest of pediatricians in the general aspects of child growth and development rather than in only the medical care of children.

The following is an edited transcript of a roundtable that took place at the University of Glasgow in September 2018. The roundtable was organized by Dr. Julia McClure in conjunction with the Poverty Research Network’s conference - Beyond Development: The Local Visions of Global Poverty. That conference brought into focus the ways in which the global and local levels meet at the site of poverty and highlighted the different conceptions on the global are generated from the perspective of poverty. The roundtable brought together leading scholars from Europe, Africa, Asia and North and South America to take stock of global history as a field, to consider the role of existing centres of knowledge production, and to assess new directions for the field.

Insight Into

Joanna Crosby and Dianna Taylor: The theme of this special section of Foucault Studies, “Foucauldian Spaces,” emerged out of the 2016 meeting of the Foucault Circle, where the four of you were participants. Each of the three individual papers contained in the special section critically deploys and/or reconceptualizes an aspect of Foucault’s work that engages and offers particular insight into the construction, experience, and utilization of space. We’d like to ask the four of you to reflect on what makes a space Foucauldian, and whether or not (and why or why not) you’d consider the space created by the convergence of and intellectual exchanges among an international group of Foucault scholars at the University of New South Wales in the summer of 2016 to be Foucauldian.

Chairman Kanner: Every day of man's life constitutes a transition between yesterday and tomorrow, converging in the intrinsic values of the moment. The past and present continue to shape and modify directions and goals, mostly through quiet evolution, sometimes in lively spurts. One of the liveliest spurts occurs during adolescence, at a time when a person is no longer a child and not yet an adult. Many incisive changes take place in that period. Body growth, in a remarkable upward surge, attains its maximum for the individual. The physique assumes its characteristic configuration. Sexual development reaches procreative capacity. There is striving after emancipation from sheltered existence, a trend toward increasing self-dependence in thought and action. The sphere of interest and participation expands from the confines of home, neighborhood and school to the community at large. The choice of vocation, until then a playfully considered matter, becomes a real issue. Current standards and precepts are submitted to criticism not as yet leavened by the tests of experience. The established order is challenged boldly and then, after some struggle, appropriated gradually with more or less reservation. Adolescence, in our culture, is a great translator. It translates the language of parental direction, attitudes and behavior into an individualized idiom. This is much less evident in primitive cultures. One might go so far as to say that in primitive societies there is no conceptual equivalent for that which we call adolescence. Childhood ceases abruptly when, through a set of elaborate rites, it is transported into full-fledged adulthood. Tribal ritualism, rather than personal spontaneity determines status and function. In our social structure, a child is given several years in which he is to find his way from a more or less manipulated and regimented existence to the acquisition of initiative in a loosely competitive environment in which the taboos are blurred, the semantics are equivocal, and the variety of occupational, political and theologic choices offers opportunities for perplexities. The adolescent translator's dictionary is full of confusing synonyms and antonyms. A combination of inner soundness, wholesome parent-child relationship, and guidance from understanding adults, helps most adolescents to emerge safely from the groping and floundering which precede maturing stabilization.

Chairman Langford: In the personality and physical growth of the individual there are some periods when the task of adjustment is a little more difficult than others. We see it at weaning, when the child starts school, at adolescence, on his first job, later when he gets married and—one of the most severe trials of all—when the individual becomes a parent. About 90% could be called normal disturbances in this area of adolescence and psychologic disturbances. Dr. Cornelia M. Carithers, Jacksonville, Fla.: When you see a marked problem such as rivalry between children, how do you convince the parent it is a real problem? Chairman Langford: One of the more common instances is the jealousy of the younger child for the older child. This may enter the picture with the obese child. Often it is the younger child who will become obese for the satisfaction he gets out of the tremendous body size. The problem of obesity may be of particular significance in the adolescent period. It may be a phase that many children go through as part of this gradual growth process but it also may be related to other factors; this suggests that when dealing with a child who is heavier than he or she should be, one ought to individualize each child who presents the problem. Therefore, it is necessary for those of us who deal with these children to determine what is a normal gain in weight for a period of time and what is outside the range of normal.

Incorporation of point-of-care ultrasound in the undergraduate medical curriculum is of great importance to ensure early exposure and safe use of the modality. We aimed to assess the students' learning experiences following implementing an ultrasound module in the medical curriculum at the University of Hong Kong. Medical students in semester 6 (n = 221) were enrolled in the module in 2018. It consisted of 1 hour of didactic lecture, followed by 3 hours of hands-on session. The students had the opportunity to enroll into a four-week Special Study Module to further practice their skills. The students had access to an e-learning platform to assist in their learning. Outcome measures include task-based performance, quizzes, feedback, and round-table discussion to assess the learning experiences. The module was highly rated by over 90% of students (response rate of 96%). Students practiced on peer subject on upper abdominal scanning. Post-training assessment showed an increment of 16% in their understanding of the modality. Students were motivated to enroll into the Special Study Module, where they were trained and became proficient with Focused Assessment with Sonography with Trauma. More than 86% of the students found the e-learning platform easy to use and assisted the training session. Round-table discussion suggested more simulated clinical cases to be added and expansion of future modules. Ultrasound module was successfully implemented into the undergraduate medical curriculum at the University of Hong Kong through new pedagogical approaches. This integration was highly rated by the medical students with improved awareness and better understanding of point-of-care ultrasound.

Antibiotic Agents

Because the participants have covered their assignments so well, a complete summary is not necessary, though it seems fair to hazard a few tentative conclusions based on our discussions. (1) No more than the broadest kind of generalizations for dosage schedules of penicillin or streptomycin are permissible at present. To serve the best interests of patients, therapy directed against any infectious agent must be individualized. Specific means for such individualization are available, and deserve wider application. (2) Probably all pathogenic micro-organisms have a number of similar mechanisms for combatting the injurious effects of antibiotic agents; some of these mechanisms have been discussed, others undoubtedly remain to be elucidated. The greatest single limiting factor for effective use of streptomycin is emergence of resistance. Some resistant organisms are probably present in any bacterial population; it is important that these be eradicated by adequate therapy at the earliest possible moment. (3) Toxic effects of penicillin are relatively minor in contrast to those of streptomycin; the danger of streptomycin therapy should be very carefully weighed against the patient's need before this agent is used. (4) Means for increasing and prolonging effective levels of antibiotic agents in body fluids at present have limited practical value, but may be of value in specific situations. (5) Clinically, "the trend" in the treatment of most infections with antibiotic agents is to increase the individual and total dosage, increase the interval between doses, reduce the number of doses and the total duration of therapy. By the very mechanism of their action, these agents should never be used to "taper off" an effective clinical response. They are rarely justified for minor infections or for an all too common indication, "just in case."

Chairman Gibson: For a good many years, it seems to me, we have been hashing over the same old problems of rheumatic fever without making much progress in our knowledge of the disease. Recently, however, I think there are hopeful signs that we are learning a little bit more about rheumatic fever and will be a little better able to deal with it. As you all know, rheumatic fever is a disease with many varied manifestations. Some cases are so outright that even a junior medical student could make a diagnosis; other cases are so obscure that at a given time and in a given case one is quite unable to make a definite diagnosis. Yet within a wide scope of variations it seems to me that rheumatic fever does show a definite group of phenomena which, by careful study, one can usually evaluate in the course of time and thereby determine whether rheumatic fever is present. I felt we might best handle the subject by dividing our discussion on rheumatic fever into 4 parts: etiology, recognition, prevention and treatment. At this time I want to introduce to you Dr. Edward C. Lambert, who is my associate in this Round Table discussion. He is at the University of Buffalo Medical School in Pediatrics and in charge of the Cardiac Children's Clinic. Dr. Edward C. Lambert, Buffalo: About 50 years ago Dr. Osler defined rheumatic fever as an acute noncontagious febrile infection depending on an unknown infectious agent, characterized by multiple arthritis and a special tendency to involve the heart.

John Rae, a Scottish antiquarian collector and spirit merchant, played a highly prominent role in the local natural history societies and exhibitions of nineteenth-century Aberdeen. While he modestly described his collection of archaeological lithics and other artefacts, principally drawn from Aberdeenshire but including some items from as far afield as the United States, as a mere ‘routh o’ auld nick-nackets' (abundance of old knick-knacks), a contemporary singled it out as ‘the best known in private hands' (Daily Free Press 4/5/91). After Rae's death, Glasgow Museums, National Museums Scotland, the University of Aberdeen Museum and the Pitt Rivers Museum in Oxford, as well as numerous individual private collectors, purchased items from the collection. Making use of historical and archive materials to explore the individual biography of Rae and his collection, this article examines how Rae's collecting and other antiquarian activities represent and mirror wider developments in both the ‘amateur’ antiquarianism carried out by Rae and his fellow collectors for reasons of self-improvement and moral education, and the ‘professional’ antiquarianism of the museums which purchased his artefacts. Considered in its wider nineteenth-century context, this is a representative case study of the early development of archaeology in the wider intellectual, scientific and social context of the era.
