French and Fashionable

Toni Miley, after spending 14 months in France, saw her exaggerated ideas of French creations take a nosedive when she discovered the aver.age French woman\u27s taste in clothes. Paris- home of the world-famous fashion designers- has even felt a modified influence of the Davy Crockett coonskin cap! A typical example was the old French woman who used the familiar cap with its tail hanging down the back to dress up her raccoon coat

These chilly November mornings we reach into the closet for that practical and warm straight wool skirt. Although the dark tweed color is practical and in the height of fashion this fall, the skirt isn\u27t quite as comfortable as it was when purchased. It has been harder to pull the straight lines over the hips and thighs and smooth out the puckers across the tummy

An experimental examination of racial distance attitude change in young delinquent girls

This research project was designed and expedited as the result of several long standing interests and concerns. These interests, theoretical in nature, focus upon: (a) the individual consequences of positive and/or negative interracial attitudes, and (b) the social consequences of existing interracial Interaction patterns manifested throughout the United States, particularly within the past two decades. The concerns, pragmatic in nature, are with social reform

Cough and reflux esophagitis in children: their co-existence and airway cellularity

BACKGROUND: There are no prospective studies that have examined for chronic cough in children without lung disease but with gastroesophageal reflux (GER). In otherwise healthy children undergoing flexible upper gastrointestinal endoscopy (esophago-gastroscopy), the aims of the study were to (1) define the frequency of cough in relation to symptoms of GER, (2) examine if children with cough and reflux esophagitis (RE) have different airway cellularity and microbiology in bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) when compared to those without. METHODS: Data specific for chronic cough (>4-weeks), symptoms of GER and cough severity were collected. Children aged <16-years (n = 150) were defined as 'coughers' (C+) if a history of cough in association with their GER symptoms was elicited before BAL were obtained during elective esophago-gastroscopy. Presence of esophagitis on esophageal biopsies was considered reflux esophagitis positive (E+). RESULTS: C+ (n = 69) were just as likely as C- (n = 81) to have esophagitis, odds ratio 0.87 (95%CI 0.46, 1.7). Median neutrophil percentage in BAL was significantly different between groups; highest in C+E- (7, IQR 28) and lowest in C-E+ (5, IQR 6). BAL positive bacterial culture occurred in 20.7% and were more likely present in current coughers (OR 3.37, 95%CI 1.39, 8.08). Airway neutrophilia (median 20%, IQR 34) was significantly higher in those with BAL positive bacterial cultures than those without (5%, 4; p = 0.0001). CONCLUSION: In children without lung disease, the common co-existence of cough with symptoms of GER is independent of the occurrence of esophagitis. Airway neutrophilia when present in these children is more likely to be related to airway bacterial infection and not to esophagitis
