Girls don't rock and boys don't bop: adolescent musical identity and gender stereotypes in popular music.

This study investigated what are considered to be gender appropriate musical behaviours from the perspective of adolescents, with a particular focus on listening behaviours and musical preferences. Gender stereotypes in popularised music and ways in which stereotypes are generated through popular media is also explored. Educational implications of gender delineated musical meaning in popular styles of music are considered in order to contribute to a growing body of research on the use of popular music in the classroom. Data were collected from three focus groups involving adolescents of varied ages from three different schools. Music educators from two of the participating schools also contributed to the study. Grounded theory was developed using open and axial coding of the collected data. Results indicated that gender stereotypes in music listened to by adolescents affect musical identity formation to varying degrees depending on susceptibility to social pressures. Gender delineated musical meaning in the classroom was found to have an impact on musical behaviours of students as a result of teacher attitudes and initiatives towards creating a gender balanced music classroom

Retrograde approach to pharyngo-esophageal obstruction.

Department of Otorhinolaryngology, University Hospital Maastricht, The Netherlands. BACKGROUND: The entrance of the esophagus has to be identified for treatment of a pharyngo-esophageal obstruction. If transoropharyngeal identification is unsuccessful, a retrograde approach might be indicated. METHODS: By way of a mini-laparotomy and gastrotomy, a flexible gastroscope can be passed into the esophagus. In one patient with a Zenker's diverticulum, a guidewire was inserted through the accessory channel of the gastroscope and passed through a stenosis, caused by marked hypertrophy of the cricopharyngeal muscle, into the oral cavity. Thereafter antegrade dilatation and laser assisted myotomy could be performed. In another patient with a membranous obstruction of the esophageal entrance due to radiotherapy, the occlusion was perforated transoropharyngeally and bluntly dilatated guided by the light from the gastroscope. RESULTS: In both cases the esophageal passage was restored. No complications occurred as a result of the procedures. CONCLUSIONS: The retrograde approach may be a good alternative when antegrade identification of the esophageal entrance fails
