The analysis in this chapter focuses on Christine Jeffs’s Rain as evidence of a shift that had occurred in New Zealand society whereby puritan repression is no longer perceived as the source of emotional problems for children in the process of becoming adults, but rather its opposite – neoliberal individualism, hedonism, and the parental neglect and moral lassitude it had promoted. A comparison with Kirsty Gunn’s novel of the same name, upon which the adaptation is based, reveals how Jeffs converted a poetic meditation on the human condition into a cinematic family melodrama with a girl’s discovery of the power of her own sexuality at the core.

Lipomas of vulva have been reported only rarely. Benign tumors of the vulva are normally classified according to their origin as epithelial cell tumors (e.g., keratinocytic, adnexal and ectopic tumors), or mesenchymal cell tumors (e.g., vascular, fibrous, muscular, neural, adipose and melanocytic tumors). Vulvar lipomas need to be differentiated from liposarcomas, which are rare but are very similar to lipomas clinically. Here we present a rare case of large vulvar lipoma in an adolescent girl.

According to data Basic Healt Research (Riskesdas) in 2016, as many as 22,7% women of reproductive age more than 15 years indicate anemia. Anemia that often occurs is iron deficiency anemia, the incidence reaches 50% of the total anemia. There is a significant relationship between nutritional status and incidence of anemia in adolescent.This study was an observational analytic with a cross sectional approach. This study was conducted in private high school Santa Lusia Medan. The population of this study were adolescent girl with a total sample 74 using total sampling technique. The research material in the form scales and height measurements to measure boddy mass index, quesioner for iron consumption patterns and consumption habits of Fe tablet and hemoglobin levels were examined using haemometer digital. Data analysis used chi square test (α=0,005).The results of the research are variabels related to anemia incidence are body mass index (sig=0,019), iron consumption patterns (sig=0,017), Fe tablet consumption habit (sig=0,045). Conclusion this study is factor causing anemia in adolescent girls is the pattern of iron consumption. Adolescent girl who have irreguler iron consumption pattern have an oppurtunity to experience anemia of 4,250 compared to adolescent girl who have reguler iron consumption patterns.

Object. The authors report their experience using gamma knife radiosurgery (GKS) to treat uveal melanomas. Methods. Between 1992 and 1998, 60 patients were treated with GKS at a prescription dose between 45 Gy and 80 Gy. The mean diameter of the tumor base was 12.2 mm (range 3–22 mm). The mean height of the tumor prominence was 6.7 mm (range 3–12 mm). The eye was immobilized. The follow-up period ranged from 16 to 94 months. Tumor regression was achieved in 56 (93%) of 60 patients. There were four recurrences followed by enucleation. The severe side effect of neovascular glaucoma developed in 21 (35%) patients in a high-dose group with larger tumors and in proximity to the ciliary body. A reduction in the prescription dose to 40 Gy or less and excluding treatment to tumors near the ciliary body decreased the rate of glaucoma without affecting the rate of tumor control. Conclusions. Gamma knife radiosurgery at a prescription dose of 45 Gy or more can achieve tumor regression in 85% of the uveal melanomas treated. Neovascular glaucoma can develop in patients when using this dose in tumors near the ciliary body. It is advised that such tumors be avoided and that the prescription dose be reduced to 40 Gy.
