    The Veronese cellist and composer Giacob (Jacob) Basevi Cervetto (c.1690–1783), was the first musician of Jewish birth to achieve success in Britain after the Resettlement of the seventeenth century. The subscription lists for his first two published collections (c. 1740 and 1748, respectively) illustrate the strategies by which he won acceptance within and beyond his adoptive country. Included in the article is a discussion of the nature and significance of publishing music by subscription in eighteenth-century Britain.Veronski čelist in skladatelj Giacob (Jacob) Basevi Cervetto (ok.1690–1783 ) je bil prvi glasbenik judovskega rodu, ki je v Britanskem kraljestvu po ponovnem priznanju Judov v sedemnajstem stoletju tam doživel uspeh. Naročniška seznama za njegovi prvi objavljeni zbirki (ok. 1740 in 1748) pričata o strategijah, ki so mu pomagale osvojiti priznanje v novi deželi in celo preko njenih meja. V prispevek je vključena tudi razprava o naravi in pomenu glasbenega založništva po naročilu v Britanskem kraljestvu 18. stoletja

    Prenatal education for congenital toxoplasmosis

    BACKGROUND: Congenital toxoplasmosis is considered a rare but potentially severe infection. Prenatal education about congenital toxoplasmosis could be the most efficient and least harmful intervention, yet its effectiveness is uncertain. OBJECTIVES: To assess the effects of prenatal education for preventing congenital toxoplasmosis. SEARCH STRATEGY: We searched the Cochrane Pregnancy and Childbirth Group's Trials Register (November 2007), CENTRAL (The Cochrane Library 2007, Issue 3), MEDLINE (1966 to November 2007), EMBASE (1980 to November 2007), CINAHL (1982 to November 2007), LILACS (1982 to November 2007) IMEMR (1984 to November 2007), and reference lists of relevant papers, reviews and websites. SELECTION CRITERIA: Randomized and quasi-randomized controlled trials (RCT) of all types of prenatal education on toxoplasmosis infection during pregnancy. DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS: Three authors independently assessed study quality and extracted data. MAIN RESULTS: One cluster-randomized controlled trial (432 women) met the inclusion criteria. However, the overall methodological quality was poor. The authors did not report measure of association but only provided P values (P less than 0.05) for all outcomes. The authors concluded that prenatal education can effectively change pregnant women's behavior as it increased pet, personal and food hygiene. There are no randomized trials on the effect of prenatal education on congenital toxoplasmosis rate, or toxoplasmosis seroconversion rate during pregnancy, but three observational studies consistently suggest that prenatal education might have a positive impact on these outcomes. AUTHORS' CONCLUSIONS: Even though primary prevention of congenital toxoplasmosis is considered a desirable intervention, given the lack of related risks compared to secondary and tertiary prevention, its effectiveness has not been adequately evaluated. There is very little evidence from RCTs that prenatal education is effective in reducing congenital toxoplasmosis even though evidence from observational studies suggests it is. Given the lack of good evidence supporting prenatal education for congenital toxoplasmosis prevention, further RCTs are needed to confirm any potential benefits and to further quantify the impact of different sets of educational intervention

    This is the protocol for a review and there is no abstract. The objectives are as follows: The primary objectives of this review are to assess the efcacy of prenatal education to reduce the rate of: (1) new cases of congenital toxoplasmosis; (2) toxoplasmosis seroconversion during pregnancy. Secondary objectives are to assess the efficacy of prenatal education to increase the rate of: (1) pregnant women's knowledge on risk factors for acquiring toxoplasmosis infection; (2) pregnant women's awareness of the importance to avoid toxoplasmosis infection during pregnancy; (3) pregnant women's behavior with respect to avoidance of risk factors for toxoplasmosis infection during pregnancy.

    This is a letter published after a paper by Marchisio et al. entitled ‘Streptococcus salivarius 24SMB administered by nasal spray for the prevention of acute otitis media (AOM) in otitis-prone children’ was published. The paper raised some methodological concerns that were expressed in the letter
