In the September 1992 issue of Pediatrics in Review in which the article on drugs of abuse (amphetamine and methamphetamine) appeared, Dr John Morgan failed to mention MDMA (3,4 methylenedioxymetham-phetamine), a substituted methamphetamine designer drug with hallucinogenic properties, known by its popular name "ecstasy" on XTC. MDMA is used with some frequency by college students (2.3% of college students took the drug in 1990). It is a prevalent drug of abuse in the United Kingdom, where it is ingested by teenagers and young adults who attend popular dance halls known as "The Rave." It is also a drug of growing importance among youth in New York City where The Rave has introduced.

Abstract The purpose of the present paper is to introduce a method for forecasting daily and total numbers of COVID-19-associated deaths. We apply the Gumbel distribution function for the analysis of time series data of the first wave. The Gumbel distribution function F(t) has a notable property of F(t) = 1/2.718 at the node (peak) point of the distribution. Therefore, we can forecast the number of total deaths N. In the present study, the Gumbel model gives the estimate N ≈ 2.718N1, where N1 is the partial sum of the daily numbers of deaths until the day of the peak. The proposed model can also forecast the daily numbers after the peak. We investigated the data of New York City, Belgium, Switzerland, Sweden, and the United Kingdom. The Gumbel model gives reasonable results for New York City, Belgium, and Switzerland. On the other hand, the proposed method underestimates N for Sweden and the United Kingdom. The proposed approach is very simple, and carrying out the analysis is easy. This method uses spreadsheet software for most of the calculations, and no special program is needed.

The report of Prudic and colleagues (2001, 31, pp. 929–934) on the results of a mailed questionnaire survey of ECT practices at a sample of New York City Metropolitan area hospitals is in the best tradition of professional self-evaluation, as exemplified by the influential survey conducted by Pippard & Ellam (1981) in the United Kingdom.
