CONCLUSIONS: Atopic dermatitis and swimming-pool attendance were associated in our study with a higher frequency and number of molluscum contagiosum. Although different therapeutic options must be evaluated depending on the patient and clinical skills, curettage is the most frequent treatment performed by dermatologists.

We report on a case of an exceptional direct communication between a retropharyngeal abscess and a cervical adenophlegmon, observed in a 25-month-old child. Treatment comprised double antibiotic therapy and retropharyngeal drainage, which led to the subsidence of the laterocervical abscess. The progression was uncomplicated.

Conclusion With adequate surgical treatment either in the acute phase in case of dramatic deterioration or after clinical recuperation,
prognosis of symptomatic ImC may be surprisingly good. However, subtotally resected lesions and/or syndromal cases may recur,
requiring further treatment. Definitive answers await more cases with longer follow-up.

Halloween is always a fun holiday for kids. I still remember the year that I had to miss Halloween because I was sick with chickenpox, but hopefully too many kids don't miss out on the fun because of swine flu fears.
Of course, kids who are actually sick with swine flu should stay home on Halloween so that they don't get other kids sick. Most others should be able to enjoy Halloween and trick-or-treating though.
Keep these Halloween safety tips in mind, including that your kids:
wear a safe costume
go trick-or-treating with supervision in safe neighborhoods

Greetings from your President. As we prepare for the coming holiday season, a traditional time to celebrate giving and caring, it is appropriate that we contemplate the nature of our care. Nurses are instantly recognized as quality caregivers. Even the name of our profession promises we care. , an early advanced practice nursing leader, articulated the dichotomous nature of caring, describing it as both an art and a science. Artists do not need to defend their art; they simply display it. Scientists, however, need to show the evidence. Historically, nursing has struggled with the challenge of finding that evidence and docu...

This article provides an overview and critique of the research on Hispanic victimization. Analyses of data gathered prior to the mid- to late 1990s consistently show Hispanics were victimized at disproportionately high rates, but numerous recent studies indicate Hispanics were not victimized at disproportionately high rates. Given that research has consistently shown victimization rates are highest among the poor and that Hispanics are a disproportionately impoverished demographic, the findings that Hispanics were not victimized at disproportionately high rates are enigmatic. It is suggested that social changes in the Unit...
