Effects of neonatal screening for cystic fibrosis
No full textNewborn screening for cystic fibrosis (CF), the most common autosomal recessive heritable disorder with a chronic disabling nature and a shortened life span in many Causasian populations, often appears to be a matter of much controversy. This controversy originates form doubts on the usefulness of such a screening, because no causal therapy is, as yet, available. ...

No full text[Excerpt] Since 1970 Philip R. Dankert has worked building the print and electronic based collections at Catherwood. His experience acquiring the literature in the field of industrial and labor relations and human resources management is unrivaled in this country. By latest calculation, approximately 60% of the volumes on Catherwoods shelves have been acquired during his stewardship of building the foremost library of its type in North America and one of only three such libraries in the world.

The expansion and performance of national newborn screening programmes for cystic fibrosis in Europe
No full textBackground Newborn screening (NBS) for cystic fibrosis (CF) is a well-established public health strategy with international standards. The aim of this study was to provide an update on NBS for CF in Europe and assess performance against the standards. Methods Questionnaires were sent to key workers in each European country. Results In 2016, there were 17 national programmes, 4 countries with regional programmes and 25 countries not screening in Europe. All national programmes employed different protocols, with IRT-DNA the most common strategy. Five countries were not using DNA analysis. In addition, the processing and structure of programmes varied considerably. Most programmes were achieving the ECFS standards with respect to timeliness, but were less successful with respect to sensitivity and specificity. Conclusions There has been a steady increase in national CF NBS programmes across Europe with variable strategies and outcomes that reflect the different approaches
Der tragische Tod des ersten Offiziers Dankert, ex MS "Milwaukee"
No full text"In the summer of 1937 Reinhard Heydrich, head of the Secret State and Security Police (the Gestapo) and Himmler’s right hand, took a voyage on the Hapag motor ship Milwaukee. Apparently the power of this major Nazi figure was still relatively little- known. Upon returning from the journey, he saw to it that several members of the ship's company, including the captain and the first officer, no longer be allowed to leave the country - they had not behaved subserviently enough towards the 'new masters'. First Officer Dankert’s sole remaining task was guard duty in the harbour, a degradation made worse by the nerve-racking Gestapo interrogations he had to face. One day he was advised to appear in the personnel office of the Hapag nautical department on the following day. Anticipating the termination of his career as an officer, Dankert shot himself on board the TS Neumark. The author was a witness to this scene and conveyed the sad news to Hapag. As it turned out, the company had only wanted to inform First Officer Dankert that the proceedings against him had been suspended and that he was once again eligible to take command of a ship."
