It is high privilege to participate in a ceremony in which the American Academy of Pediatrics honors the memory of one of its founders and most illustrious Fellows. The C. Anderson Aldrich Award for 1973 is presented to Dr. Gunnar Dybwad, Professor of Human Development at the Florence Heller Graduate School of Advanced Studies in Social Welfare, Brandeis University. The Award is made for Dr. Dybwad's contributions to the development of children, particularly those with mental retardation. Inherent in his choice as awardee by the Section on Child Development of the Academy is recognition of mental retardation as a disability in development, one that is subject to change with time, either amelioration or deterioration, depending in a major way on the child's social surroundings. It is to these latter that Dr. Gunnar Dybwad has particularly addressed himself. For the benefit of younger members and guests of the Academy, a few biographical notes seem in order about Dr. Aldrich who died 25 years ago. Born in Plymouth, Massachusetts, in 1888, Dr. Aldrich received his early education in Boston and New York; his college and medical school degrees at Northwestern University. After general practice in Winnetka, Illinois, for five years, he limited his practice to pediatrics. While in practice, he worked at the Children's Memorial Hospital of Chicago rising to a full Professorship at Northwestern University, and succeeding Dr. Joseph Brenneman in 1941 as Chief of Staff at the Children's Memorial Hospital. In 1944 he moved to Rochester, Minnesota, and founded the Rochester Child Health Institute, interested in research on the development of normal infants and children and in a program of delivery of child care to an entire community.

A Prospective Study

Abstract Background We implemented a preprocedural severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) screening initiative designed to sustain health care during a time when the extent of SARS-CoV-2 infection was unknown. Methods This was a prospective study of patients undergoing procedures at 3 academic hospitals in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania (April 21–June 11), and 19 community hospitals across Middle/Western Pennsylvania and Southwestern New York (May 1–June 11). Patients at academic hospitals underwent symptom screening ≤7 days preprocedure, then SARS-CoV-2 nasopharyngeal polymerase chain reaction (PCR) testing 1–4 days preprocedure. A subset also underwent day-of-procedure testing. Community hospital patients underwent testing per local protocols. We report SARS-CoV-2 PCR positivity rates, impact, and barriers to testing encountered through June 11. PCR positivity rates of optional preprocedural SARS-CoV-2 testing for 2 consecutive periods following the screening initiative are also reported. Results Of 5881 eligible academic hospital patients, 2415 (41.1%) were tested (April 21–June 11). Lack of interest, distance, self-isolation, and nursing home/incarceration status were barriers. There were 11 PCR-positive patients (10 asymptomatic) among 10 539 patients tested (0.10%; 95% CI, 0.05%–0.19%): 3/2415 (0.12%; 95% CI, 0.02%–0.36%) and 8/8124 (0.10%; 95% CI, 0.04%–0.19%) at academic and community hospitals, respectively. Procedures were performed as scheduled in 40% (4/10) of asymptomatic PCR-positive patients. Positivity increased during subsequent coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) surges: 54/34 948 (0.15%; 95% CI, 0.12%–0.20%) and 101/24 741 (0.41%; 95% CI, 0.33%–0.50%) PCR-positive patients from June 12–September 10 and September 11–December 15, respectively (P < .0001). Conclusions Implementing preprocedural PCR testing was complex and revealed low infection rates (0.24% overall), which increased during COVID-19 surges. Additional studies are needed to define the COVID-19 prevalence threshold at which universal preprocedural screening is warranted.

AbstractThe authors present a technique using electrocautery diathermy to make surgical tattoos. This method has been used in over 300 patients who underwent head and neck surgery at Aberdeen Royal Infirmary and Albany Medical College, New York, over a period of five years. A wide variety of operative procedures such as total laryngectomies and neck dissections were performed. The electrocautery surgical tattoos have a major advantage of persisting until the end of the operative procedure by which time other types of tattoos have faded. The technique is widely available, inexpensive, and has to date been complication free.
