Bacillus coli infections

I. Colon bacillus infection is extremely prevalent. • II. It is peculiar in the diversity of its symptoms and complications and its tendency to become chronic. • III. Diet and the regular evacuation of the bowels, as exemplified by the Bantu people, are our best prophylactic measures. • IV. Gross lesions, such as appendicitis, cholecystitis and renal infections, are very common. • V. Pyelitis as a sole renal lesion seldom, if ever, occurs. • VI. The common renal lesions is a multiple, focal, suppurative intestitial nephritis, with which is associated occasionally some degree of pyelitis. • VII. The renal lesion is probably more frequent in females and when unilateral is more often right-sided. • VIII. The most common infection in pregnancy is by the Bacillus Coli. • IX. It is closely associated with toxaemia and pre-eclamptic manifestations. • X. Urinary symptoms should never be ignored in pregnancy, and bacteriological examinations of the urine should be carried out if toxaemia is present. • XI. Whenever the diagnosis is in doubt the urine should be studied. • XII. Prophylaxis is still our best remedy. • XIII. Treatment must be thorough and continued for a long period after all signs and symptoms have cleared. • XIV. It is as necessary for the B. Coli infected patient to have the urine bacteriologically examined from time to time as for the syphilitic to have repeated Wassermann tests

Virginia\u27s Insanity Defense: Reform is Imperative

Virginia is no exception to the statement that a great deal of time and energy has been expended by writers in addressing the defense ofinsanity. Unfortunately, instead of generating some notable reform, this fact has served to desensitize the legislators, the legal profession, and the public in this controversial area. In view of the current knowledge in the field of psychiatry, the approach for implementing the insanity defense in Virginia courts is not satisfactory

Evidence on the Efficacy of School-Based Incentives for Healthy Living

We analyze the effects of a school-based incentive program on children's exercise habits. The program offers children an opportunity to win prizes if they walk or bike to school during prize periods. We use daily child-level data and individual fixed effects models to measure the impact of the prizes by comparing behavior during prize periods with behavior during non-prize periods. Variation in the timing of prize periods across different schools allows us to estimate models with calendardate fixed effects to control for day-specific attributes, such as weather and proximity to holidays. On average, we find that being in a prize period increases riding behavior by sixteen percent, a large impact given that the prize value is just six cents per participating student. We also find that winning a prize lottery has a positive impact on ridership over subsequent weeks; consider heterogeneity across prize type, gender, age, and calendar month; and explore differential effects on the intensive versus extensive margins.health; exercise; children; school; incentives; active commuting
