New Look

This little paperback book is a gem which may escape the attention of readers on this side of the Atlantic because it deals mainly with the state of contemporary pediatrics in Great Britain. For us not to be aware of this book would be a mistake; many of the problems and shortcomings which Drs. Joseph and MacKeith discuss are equally germane to the United States. The authors attempt to define in 11 chapters such elusive things as just what pediatrics really is, what are the crucial current problems, how the changing patterns of death and morbidity in childhood have altered the demands on pediatricians, and—throughout the book as a leitmotiv—how to make medical students and physicians more aware of preventive aspects of medicine.

And Child Health

The eloquent statement on the status of Negro medical care and education in the United States by the eminent anatomist, Dr. W. Montague Cobb (Brown America's Medical Diaspora: A Paradox of Democracy, in The Pediatrician and The Public, Pediatrics 3:854, 1949) requires the attention of all physicians interested in the distribution of medical care. Although pediatricians cannot begin to assume responsibility for this entire problem, it is possible to demonstrate leadership in the same manner in which the Academy study of infant and child health services provided leadership to the profession and the public. We refer specifically to an extension of training facilities in pediatrics for Negro physicians. Certainly 15 certified Negro pediatricians in a country with 14,000,000 Negro people represents a serious discrepancy in the distribution of training facilities. Admittedly most of the problem has its origin in the distribution of training facilities for undergraduate students and the basic problems responsible for this situation. However, we have observed—as has Dr. Cobb—that many Negro physicians desiring training in pediatrics (as well as other specialties) are discouraged from applying for training because of what seems to be a dearth of positions open to them. It has been our impression, however, that many centers would consider Negroes for training appointments if qualified applicants applied. Would it not be advisable, therefore, for the American Board of Pediatrics to circularize the approved training centers in pediatrics in order to establish a roster of those centers which would consider Negro applicants for training positions?

ABSTRACTWe characterize three respiratory isolates of the recently described speciesMycobacterium talmoniaerecovered in Texas, Louisiana, and Massachusetts, including the first case of disease in a patient with underlying cystic fibrosis. The three isolates had a 100% match toM. talmoniaeNE-TNMC-100812Tby complete 16S rRNA,rpoBregion V, andhsp65 gene sequencing. Core genomic comparisons between one isolate and the type strain revealed an average nucleotide identity of 99.8%. The isolates were susceptible to clarithromycin, amikacin, and rifabutin, while resistance was observed for tetracyclines, ciprofloxacin, and linezolid.M. talmoniaeshould be added to the list of potential pulmonary pathogens, including in the setting of cystic fibrosis.

Paper Work

Four practicing pediatricians were followed by an observer with a stopwatch for a total of 18 days to gain a profile of how their working days were spent. An average of 48% of the day was spent with patients, 12.5% on the phone, and 9% on paper work. Fifty per cent of patient time was spent with well children, and 22% on children with minor respiratory illness. Intellectual understimulation seemed to arise from spending the majority of time with children who did not require their special talents. In view of the alarming decline in ratio of physicians to child population, pediatricians are urged to play a decisive role in formulating the alternative patterns of child health care that must inevitably develop in the United States.

Pregnant Mothers

In the latter years of the 19th century, and to an increasing degree in the first decades of the 20th, there arose in the United States and elsewhere a growing concern for the health and welfare of women and children, especially pregnant mothers and infants. Compared with current figures, maternal and infant mortality rates were extremely high, and there were virtually no widespread programs to avoid malnutrition and a host of preventable diseases and disabilities in childhood. Isolated instances of good maternal and infant programs existed, but it became obvious that our country needed national programs to improve child health and welfare.
