Join Dr. Daniel Traister, Curator for Research Services at Penn's Rare Book and Manuscript Library and Bibliographer for Literature in English, for a hands-on exploration of rare books and manuscripts chosen from Penn's collection, one that runs from the ninth century up through the present.

It often surprises students and colleagues when I discuss my experiences in the days "before pediatric intensive care units." They cannot conceive of a time when these specialized units, along with their highly technologic treatments, were not available to facilitate the care of critically ill children. During this "before" period, seriously ill children were cared for on regular hospital units with minimal technology. Staff nurses were often assigned to "special" the child, unless the family provided a private duty nurse. Sometimes a separate room was set aside for care of several seriously ill children so that one nurse could care for several children. The level of expertise of these staff and private duty nurses, however, was not adequate for the intensive care needs of critically ill children. Obviously children with serious health problems or children recovering from major surgery were at high risk of dying because adequate treatments and monitoring measures were not available.

Biopsy http://repository.upenn.edu/miscellaneous_papers/3 http://repository.upenn.edu/miscellaneous_papers/3 Mon, 07 Apr 2008 10:35:42 PDT The biopsy may very well be the most paramount procedure confronting the dentist and successful tissue diagnosis depends on proper surgical biopsy technique. Yet, how many who are faced with this procedure really know the principles involved and can carry them, out flawlessly as they must be? The practitioner who attempts this procedure without being aware of principles involved may prevent more competent hands from diagnosing a malignancy until it is too late. Data bares out the fact that the first man to see a lesion is in the best position to initiate a cure. The aim of this paper is to present some of the principles of biopsy technique so as to give an insight into the procedure of biopsy.

This action followed some five years of defiance of the famous U.S. Supreme Court decision of 1954 and has, as of this writing, made Prince Edward County the only locality in the United States which does not provide its youngsters with some kind of public education.

To the social scientist or to those who might be alarmed by such an extreme situation several questions are immediately raised - Why were public schools closed and how did closing come about? What kind of locality is this which would resort to such an extraordinary measure? What generally are the attitudes and arguments underlying the issue? Also, what has happened to the county's people and its schools? And finally, what can we expect to happen in the future to public education in this Virginia county? It is these questions which this paper will attempt to answer.
