The Past

For at least the past 30 years it has been known that people with schizophrenia have higher death rates, particularly from cardiovascular causes, than would be expected on the basis of demographics (Allebeck & Wistedt, 1986; Mortensen & Juel, 1990; Newman & Bland, 1991; Walker et al, 1997). Initially, suspicion focused upon lifestyle factors, such as ubiquitous smoking and poor self-care, and perhaps upon a direct effect of the disease. However, some of the suspicion began to shift to the drugs used to treat the disease, fuelled both by the accumulation of case reports among antipsychotic users of serious ventricular arrhythmias and sudden unexpected deaths (Liberatore & Robinson, 1984; Kriwisky et al, 1990; Mehtonen et al, 1991; Donatini et al, 1992; Thomas, 1994; Jackson et al, 1997; Ravin & Levenson, 1997; Zarate et al, 1997; Dickinson, 2000), as well as advancing understanding of the electrophysiological properties of these drugs (Thomas, 1994; Suessbrich et al, 1997; Drici et al, 1998; Rampe et al, 1998; Shader & Greenblatt, 1998; Studenik et al, 1998; Reilly et al, 2000).

Preschool Age Children

Six speech and language clinicians, three black and three white, administered the Goodenough Drawing Test (1926) to 144 preschoolers. The four groups, lower socioeconomic black and white and middle socioeconomic black and white, were divided equally by sex. The biracial clinical setting was shown to influence test scores in black preschool-age children.

Learning To Listen

Abstract Learning to listen and speak are well-established preludes for reading, writing, and succeeding in mainstream educational settings. Intangibles beyond the ubiquitous test scores that typically serve as markers for progress in children with hearing loss are embedded in descriptions of the educational and social development of four young women. All were diagnosed with severe-to-profound or profound hearing loss as toddlers, and all were fitted with hearing aids and given listening and spoken language therapy. Compiling stories across the life span provides insights into what we can be doing in the lives of young children with hearing loss.

Abstract. The aim of this review was to investigate presentation, aetiology, management, and outcomes of bowel ischaemia following EVAR. We present a case report and searched electronic bibliographic databases to identify published reports of bowel ischaemia following elective infra-renal EVAR not involving hypogastric artery coverage or iliac branch devices. We conducted our review according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) statement standards. In total, five cohort studies and three case reports were included. These studies detailed some 6,184 infra-renal elective EVARs, without procedure-related occlusion of the hypogastric arteries, performed between 1996 and 2014. Bowel ischaemia in this setting is uncommon with an incidence ranging from 0.5 to 2.8 % and includes a spectrum of severity from mucosal to transmural ischaemia. Due to varying reporting standards, an overall proportion of patients requiring bowel resection could not be ascertained. In the larger series, mortality ranged from 35 to 80 %. Atheroembolization, hypotension, and inferior mesenteric artery occlusion were reported as potential causative factors. Elderly patients and those undergoing prolonged procedures appear at higher risk. Bowel ischaemia is a rare but potentially devastating complication following elective infra-renal EVAR and can occur in the setting of patent mesenteric vessels and hypogastric arteries. Mortality ranges from 35 to 80 %. Further research is required to identify risk factors and establish prophylactic measures in patients that have an increased risk of developing bowel ischaemia after standard infra-renal EVAR.
