ETIBRITIcOA smoothly during the first year of its existence, and no dissatisfaction has been expressed either by the doctors or by the parents. It was conceived to cater for about 400 to 500 infants from birth up to the first year, and it has so far absorbed over 200 of them, while the full complement would have been reached during the coming winter if we had been able to carry on. I feel it necessary to stress two points. One is the surprising fact that the majority of the infants' deaths took place, and still to a great extent occur, in institutions and not in the homes. It was this factor that led us to the creation of a domiciliary service which would keep the infants out of hospitals as far-as possible, especially seeing that the majority of these institutional deaths occurred from such common ailments as bronchopneumonia and gastro-enteritis, while the majority of them could quite easily be treated at home with the aid of efficient district nurses, thus also considerably reducing the costs of treatment as borne by the community.

Summary 头发和头皮问题相当常见。有多种情况可能导致脱发,可能表现为头发脱落、稀疏或斑驳,进而形成脱发。有些情况下头发会重新生长,而其他情况的秃头症(脱发)则是永久性的。经常性疏于打理是人们脱发的心理影响因素。脱发的表现以及对进一步发展的恐惧可能会导致患者自尊心下降、焦躁和沮丧。遗憾的是,治疗脱发的最有效疗法尚有许多不确定因素。这项由英国脱发慈善组织资助的研究旨在识别脱发管理、预防、诊断和治疗中的不确定因素,这对有脱发烦恼的人们和专业医护人员而言十分重要。研究人员在患者、其看护者和亲属以及专业医护人员之间设立了脱发“优先设定合作伙伴关系”(PSP),以识别最重要的脱发不确定因素。此项研究展示了10大脱发(斑秃除外)研究优先项,以指导研究人员和资助单位支持对患者和临床医生而言十分重要的研究。

Section of Dermatology 369 view of the rarity of locally malignant tumours of this type, that it is of some importance to separate them, where this seems reasonable, from the. larger group of undifferentiated sarcomata. Dr. J. E. M. WIGLEY said that he had shown a case of multiple endotheliomata, of the scalp and face regions, about two years ago. The diagnosis, which was supported by Dr. J. M. H. MacLeod, was generally accepted. Clinically the tumours appeared to be exactly the same as in this case, but it would require further study of the sections to decide whether the histology was identical. The lesions in his case had proved completely radioresistant, and all that could be done was to excise the tumours as they became inconvenient to the patient.
