E.M. Jellinek: The Hungarian connection
No full textThis is the second in a series of papers depicting the mostly undocumented life of E.M. Jellinek. This paper establishes the connection between Jellinek Morton, a well-known figure in Hungary in the early part of the 20th Century, and E.M. Jellinek, one of the founders of alcohol studies. Newly found documents in Hungary and at the Rutgers Center of Alcohol Studies Library and Archives provide compelling evidence of this connection and shed some light on the mysterious circumstances of his 1920 disappearance from Hungary. The information in these papers was first presented at the 36th Annual Substance Abuse Librarians and Information Specialists (SALIS) Conference on May 1st, 2014, by seven presenters in a panel entitled “Mystery and speculations: Piecing together E.M. Jellinek’s redemption.”Peer reviewe
Quality of life after repair of tetralogy of Fallot
No full textObjective:
To determine the quality of life in individuals with corrected tetralogy of Fallot. MMethods and subjects:
Questionnaires concerning quality of life were sent to all 87 surviving patients aged between 16 and 40 years who had undergone intracardiac repair of tetralogy of Fallot and follow-up in the Wessex Cardiothoracic Unit, and to 87 age and sex matched controls, with medically treated haemodynamically insignificant ventricular septal defects. Results:
The only significant difference found between the cases and controls was in requirements for schooling, where those with tetralogy of Fallot were more likely to require additional educational help at school (p = 0.044). For all other aspects of quality of life examined by the questionnaire, including social and genetic history, exercise ability, and health related quality of life, no significant differences were found. Different operative techniques, such as transjunctional patching, right ventriculotomy, and previous palliative shunting, did not affect the quality of life of our population with Tetralogy of Fallot, on average twenty years after their surgery, although the range of operative techniques was limited. Neither age at surgery, nor time since surgery, was correlated with measurements of quality of life. Conclusions:
Those who have undergone surgical correction of tetralogy of Fallot have a normal quality of life, with few differences compared to controls

Integrated difference: Counteracting exclusion of migrants through intercultural spatial planning and governance in Athens
No full textThis research-and-design research addresses the influence of urban conditions on social conditions (and vice versa) and explores interdisciplinary alternatives. In the context of Athens (Greece), spatial planning and its governance support social exclusion of migrants, which is expressed through conflicts with native residents. The project experiments with alleviating these effects by establishing spatial planning as active agent of integration. The main aim of the research is to develop an appropriate strategy in areas with migrants, by re-adjusting the principles of urban space. Instead of providing one fixed solution, the project will design flexible initiatives that help the community achieve the desirable outcome. The methodology of this urban integration can be replicable, provided that it is adjusted for similar urban and social contexts
History of cervical cancer and the role of the human papillomavirus, 1960–2000
No full textThe history, largely untold, of the development of cervical cytology, of effective screening and its ultimate success in reducing cervical cancer incidence and mortality, and the viral cause of cervical cancer, took place within a complex social background of changing attitudes to women’s health and sexual behaviour.
Dr Georges Papanicolaou’s screening method (the Pap smear) started in the US in the 1940s. It was widely used in the UK a decade later and a national programme of cervical screening was established in 1988. The association of sexually transmitted human papillomavirus (HPV) with cervical cancer was less readily accepted. The detection of HPV16 in cervical cancers at the end of the 1970s was aided by the explosion of laboratory, clinical, and public health research on new screening tests and procedures. These made possible the successful development, licensing and use of preventive vaccines against the major oncogenic HPV types, HPV16 and -18.
The Witness Seminar was attended by virologists, cytologists, gynaecologists, epidemiologists and others and addressed the development of cytology as a pathological discipline. They discussed who became cytologists and screeners; the evolution of screening in the UK and elsewhere; the impacts of colposcopy and of HPV; and the discovery of virus-like particles and the development of the HPV vaccine.
The meeting was chaired by Professor Glenn McCluggage and the topic was suggested by Professor David Jenkins. Contributors include: Professor Valerie Beral, Professor Saveria Campo, Professor Jocelyn Chamberlain, Professor Dulcie Coleman, Dr Lionel Crawford, Professor Heather Cubie, Professor Jack Cuzick, Dr Ian Duncan, Dr Winifred Gray, Dr Amanda Herbert, Professor David Jenkins, Dr Elizabeth Mackenzie, Dr Joan Macnab, Professor Anthony Miller, Professor Julian Peto, Dr Catherine Pike, Professor Peter Sasieni, Professor Albert Singer, Dr John Smith, Professor Margaret Stanley, Mrs Marilyn Symonds, Dr Anne Szarewski, Professor Leslie Walker, Mr Patrick Walker, Dr Margaret Wolfendale and Professor Ciaran Woodman. Two appendices with reminiscences from Professor Leopold Koss, Dr Arthur Spriggs and Dr O A N (Nasseem) Husain complete the volume
