The Section on Urology of the American Academy of Pediatrics met in association with the 50th annual meeting of the Academy in New Orleans. Several topics of interest to both pediatricians and pediatric urologists were discussed. Inasmuch as members are unable to attend subspecialty sessions when they occur simultaneously with other scheduled programs, this summary is prepared to offer an overview of the content of the meeting of our Section. Readers interested in a specific topic should feel free to contact the senior author of papers of special interest to them. The meeting was organized into topic-oriented sessions including hypospadias, reconstructive surgery, anomalies of the testis and scrotum, myelodysoplasia, principles of urinary undiversion, ureteral obstruction and techniques to assess the severity of obstruction, urinary incontinence, and vesicouretenal reflux. Miscellaneous papers of interest to both pediatricians and pediatric urologists were also discussed. This summary will focus on those papers of mutual interest to urologists and pediatricians. HYPOSPADIAS Several years ago, the Sections on Urology and Child Development issued a position paper on timing for elective genital surgery in children.1 This paper suggested that, for psychological reasons, surgery at less than 1 year of age was preferable. However, for technical reasons, especially regarding hypospadias repairs, surgery was often best delayed until 2 years of age. More recently, Manley and Epstein2 reported a series of very young infants undergoing major hypospadias reconstructions (as young as age 6 months), with no apparent technical difficulty, no increase in complications, and lessened postoperative anxiety. Two papers at this meeting addressed this topic of current concern.

The views expressed are not necessarily those of the Editor or the Publisher. Reaction to Comment features, in the form of letters to the Editor, are especially welcome.

Abstract An interview by the editor and a member of the scientific board of História, Ciências, Saúde – Manguinhos with Warwick Anderson, a leading historian of science and race from Australia. He talks about his training, positions he held at US universities, his publications, and his research at the University of Sydney. He discusses his current concern with the circulation of racial knowledge and biological materials as well as with the construction of networks of racial studies in the global south during the twentieth century. He also challenges the traditional historiography of science, which conventionally has been told from a Eurocentric perspective.

El crecimiento de las microempresas (Mypes) en Tehuacán, es una preocupación actual dada la importante aportación a la producción del Estado de Puebla y el empleo. Tal crecimiento se puede medir a través de la Reputación Corporativa, pero para tal efecto se requiere de buenas prácticas que son el ejercicio de la ética. Partiendo del modelo tradicional de la justicia social y la ética, el presente trabajo busca relacionar éste, con los aportes sobre reputación corporativa. El estudio demuestra que un empresario que no responde a las preguntas sobre su negocio exhibe una falta de ética. Abstract  The growth of microenterprises (Mypes) in Tehuacán, is a current concern given the important contribution to the production of the State of Puebla and employment. Such growth can be measured through Corporate Reputation, but for this purpose good practices are required that are the exercise of ethics. Starting from the traditional model of social justice and ethics, the present work seeks to relate this, with the contributions on corporate reputation. The study shows that an entrepreneur who does not answer questions about his business exhibits a lack of ethics.

Production And Distribution

This brief and synthetic epilogue argues that the South’s history lays bare the ways that antidemocratic governance has been used in this country to protect unfree labor arrangements and to blunt collective decision-making about the conditions of wealth production and distribution of wealth. That history helps sharpen our analysis of the current concern over the future of work. More than half a century ago, labor and black freedom advocates teamed up with analysts of the cybernetics revolution to ask “Are there other proper claims on goods and services besides a job?” The epilogue argues that the question is as pertinent now as when it was formulated, and that the South is where it will have to be answered.

Pneumonitis is a rare but serious adverse event caused by cancer immunotherapy. The diagnosis between COVID-19-induced pneumonia and immunotherapy-induced pneumonitis may be challenging in the era of COVID-19 outbreak. Some clinical symptoms and radiological findings of pneumonitis can be attributed to the coronavirus infection as well as to an immune-related adverse event. Identifying the exact cause of a pneumonitis in patients on treatment with immunotherapy is crucial to promptly start the most appropriate treatment. The proper management of immune checkpoint inhibitors for the risk of pneumonia must take into account a series of parameters. Accurate attention should be payed to symptoms like cough, fever and dyspnea during immunotherapy.

The Way

Abstract This work investigates a place of intersection between advertising and politics in Galicia, namely the series of television spots created by the supermarket chain GADIS under the title Vivamos como galegos. Most studies of this series have focused exclusively on the first spot and have argued that the success of the ad is due primarily to the way it makes Galician identity attractive. While agreeing that this factor is important, the present analysis expands on previous studies by analyzing rhetorical devices in and intertextual relationships between five ads in the series to argue that these spots discursively create an imaginary world in which Galician language and culture are timeless and will not be lost. This ideal characteristic responds to a current concern of Galician society, namely, the decreasing use of the regional language among youth. In creating this Galician world, GADIS discursively paints itself as a defender of all things Galician, which has led it to become “a campaña de maior éxito do momento” (Souto 2008, 199).
