Clayville Rural Life Center and Museum - Publications Series II - Research Report #05: Inns and Taverns in the Midwest - Typical Functions, Forms, and Layouts

Part I of this report explores the functions of typical inns and taverns. It established the bases for setting up a typical inventory of furniture, cookware, eating utensils, and all the other likely necessary and not-so-necessary items which would be found in a combined farm home and inn. Part II presents the results of field work on the form and layout of surviving structures in Illinois. It has several sections on the architectural content and the probable use of the space inside the inn. 109p.National Endowment for the Humanitiespublished or submitted for publicationnot peer reviewe

Clayville Rural Life Center and Museum - Publications Series II - Research Report #06: Inns and Their Farms in the Central Midwest - Toward an interpretation of Farmstead Functions

This research report attempts to fashion a picture of the Broadwells as innkeeper/farmers, useful in physical and interpretive planning. It is divided into a main text and appendices. The former is composed of chapters dealing with the early association of inn keeping and farming, with implements, crops and livestock typically found at documented farms associated with inns, with the Broadwell farming operations, and with farm labor and markets. In the appendices are tables summarizing the data from the agricultural and population censuses and probate inventories of one-time innkeeper/farmers. 66p.National Endowment for the Humanitiespublished or submitted for publicationnot peer reviewe

Combined closures in reconstructive surgery

It is common for dermatology surgery patients topresent on the day of surgery with more than one skincancer needing Mohs micrographic surgery. Whenthese carcinomas are located near one another, itmay be more practical to treat both at the same timeas the reconstruction for one defect may involve orotherwise affect the treatment or reconstruction forthe other carcinoma. Treating both cancers on thesame day creates an opportunity for efficient repairswhere a creative single reconstruction may minimizethe amount of tissue wasted during reconstruction,and minimize morbidity for the patient. Further,combining multiple defects into one closure mayreduce cost as it has been shown that reconstructivechoice affects the cost-effectiveness of Mohs surgeryrelative to a traditional excision and Mohs surgeonsmore commonly select less costly options for woundmanagement. We present a case series of two-in-oneclosures - repairing two defects with one closure
