Current Research Effort

A report is given of a recent visit to 25 university, governmental, and industrial laboratories, state power boards, and consulting firms in Western Europe and the United Kingdom. A critique of the status and activity of research and development in the area of fluid transients constitutes the report, which also comprises 128 references. Dominant areas of current research effort are apparently cavitation and column separation in pumping mains and condensers of water cooling systems, the effect of the presence of dissolved and entrained gas on pressure surges, and hydraulic resonance in hydraulic machinery and pipelines.

In several countries worldwide, the initial response to coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has been heavily criticized by general public, media, and healthcare professionals, as well as being an acrimonious topic in the political debate. The present article elaborates on some aspects of the United Kingdom (UK) primary reaction to SARS-CoV-2 pandemic; specifically, from February to July 2020. The fact that the UK showed the highest mortality rate in Western Europe following the first wave of COVID-19 certainly has many contributing causes; each deserves an accurate analysis. We focused on three specific points that have been insofar not fully discussed in the UK and not very well known outside the British border: clinical governance, access to hospital care or intensive care unit, and implementation of non-pharmaceutical interventions. The considerations herein presented on these fundamental matters will likely contribute to a wider and positive discussion on public health, in the context of an unprecedented crisis.

Policy Objectives

We remarked in our last issue : ‘It is not often that a government finds itself confronted with the possibility of a simultaneous failure to achieve all four main policy objectives—of adequate economic growth, full employment, a satisfactory balance of payments and reasonably stable prices.’ In the context this applied specifically to the United Kingdom, but the possibility is becoming increasingly real for the greater part of Western Europe, with West Germany the most obvious exception, and even for Japan it is less remote than it might quite recently have seemed.

Obstetric Management

Adolescent pregnancy rates in the United Kingdom remain the highest in Western Europe. Interestingly, throughout most of Western Europe teenage birth rates fell during the 1970s, 80s and 90s, but in the United Kingdom rates have remained high. An increasing incidence has also been noted, with 49.9 births per 1,000 women under 18 in 2001 and 52.8 live births per 1,000 women in 2002.
