THE PERPETUAL NEED FOR SAFE WATER PRESENTS COMMUNITIES AND UTILITIES WITH 21ST‐CENTURY CHALLENGES; A RECENTLY DEVELOPED SERIES OF INDICATORS CAN HELP IN ESTABLISHING AND MONITORING WATER SUSTAINABILITY EFFORTS.

The initial results show that this approach might allow the direct assignment of a preference-based valuation to the SF-12. The quality of the psychometric features of the multi-attribute value function is encouraging. Future studies should test this concept more extensively, especially by determining parameters for a representative sample of the general population and by comparing performance with other approaches to value the SF-12.

These data could be the basis for any teaching program aimed at reducing neonatal mortality. Furthermore, they enable an evaluation of the ongoing teaching program.

This paper describes a neonate with type II Gaucher disease. The phenotype was unusually severe with congenital ichthyosis, hepatosplenomegaly, muscular hypotonia, myoclonus and respiratory failure. Electron microscopy of the skin revealed lamellar body contents in the stratum corneum interstices, appearances considered to be typical of type II Gaucher disease. The baby died from respiratory failure 1 month postpartum having made no neurological progress. Molecular analysis identified a previously not reported homozygous null mutation, c.1505G→A of the β-glucocerebrosidase gene.
