Tourniquet ischemia is widely used in limb surgery in every age group. In adults, tourniquet-related deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism are recognized complications of tourniquet use. In healthy children, tourniquet-associated alterations of blood clotting physiology are assumed to have no clinical impact. Antithrombotic prophylaxis is, therefore, recommended only in the presence of pertinent risk factors such as extensive surgery, congenital thrombophilia, prolonged immobilization, and indwelling central venous line, however, it is not practiced in obese, otherwise healthy children. We describe the first case of fatal pulmonary thromboembolism in an obese 12-year and 3-month old boy (body mass index 27.6 kg x m(-2)) following tourniquet-deflation after minor surgery on the lower extremity.

“…A second worrisome trend shows just how far some courts have diverged from the inchoate nationality standard in defining an applicant's country of reference. In the case of Williams, 259 the Canadian Federal Court of Appeal considered the claim of a Rwandan citizen, born in that country and who had lived there all but eight years of his life. Under jus sanguinis rules, he had also acquired Ugandan citizenship at birth, but lost that nationality by operation of law at age eighteen.…”

The first edition of The Law of Refugee Status (published in 1991) is generally regarded as the seminal text on interpreting the refugee definition set by the UN's 1951 Refugee Convention. Its groundbreaking analysis served as the bedrock for not only much judicial reasoning, but also for a burgeoning academic literature in law and related fields. This second edition builds on the strong critical focus and human rights orientation of the first edition, but undertakes an entirely original analysis of the jurisprudence of leading common law and select civil law states. The authors provide robust responses to the most difficult questions of refugee status in a clear and direct way. The result is a comprehensive and truly global analysis of the central question in asylum law: who is a refugee?

Comprehensive School Health (CSH) is an internationally recognized framework that moves beyond the individual to holistically address school health, leading to the development of health-enhancing behaviors while also improving educational outcomes. Previous research has suggested that principal support for CSH implementation is essential, but this role has yet to be explored. Therefore, the purpose of this research was to examine the role of the principal in the implementation of a CSH project aimed at creating a healthy school culture. This research was guided by the grounded ethnography method. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with APPLE School principals (n = 29) to qualitatively explore their role in creating a healthy school culture. A model consisting of five major themes emerged, suggesting that the principal played a fluid role throughout the CSH implementation process. Principals (i) primed the cultural change; (ii) communicated the project's importance to others; (iii) negotiated concerns and collaboratively planned; (iv) held others accountable to the change, while enabling them to take ownership and (v) played an underlying supportive role, providing positive recognition and establishing ongoing commitment. This research provides recommendations to help establish effective leadership practices in schools, conducive to creating a healthy school culture.
