This second edition has been thoroughly revised to include evidence wherever it is available. In addition, feedback from those using the fi rst edition has been used to make the second edition even more user-friendly. We hope we have maintained the pragmatic, hands-on approach whilst incorporating information from the NICE and Cochrane reviews, and using relevant guidelines endorsed by Children’s Hospitals. Most impor- tantly, after the 2010 International Liaison Committee On Resuscitation 5-yearly review, the chapter on ‘Resuscitation’ has been fully updated. However, much of what we do in paediatrics has little or no evidence base. So then, we rely on best practice and common sense — the latter remains a fundamentally critical part of the management of children. On-going medical education supplements what we read in our text books, clinical guidelines and on-line. We must continually: • ask answerable questions; • access the best information; • appraise the information for validity and relevance; • and apply the information to patient care. 1 As medicine changes— through new evidence, the impact of new vaccines, changes in society (e.g. obesity and its consequences), or the arrival of new treatments—we must keep up to date and be willing to question what we have been doing and whether there might be a better way. We hope this second edition of Emergencies in Paediatrics and Neonatology can play a small part in that important quest. As always, we would appreciate comments from readers on where further improvements can be made. Stuart Crisp Jo Rainbow August 2012 1 Craig JC, Irwig LM, Stockler MR (2001). Evidence-based medicine: useful tools for decision making. Med J Aust 174: 248–53. vi Preface to fi rst edition This book has been written for anyone who assesses and manages acutely unwell children. It has been written by doctors who do just that, day in, day out. It provides clear, simple, but defi nitive early management for pae- diatric conditions seen in the Emergency Department. Some children pre- senting will be seriously ill, but many will not. There is, therefore, a coding system of icons, indicating the likely severity and consequent urgency of treatment. The book is symptom-based, as that is how children present. It covers resuscitation and immediate management in detail, to get you through those fi rst nerve-racking minutes. Longer-term treatment is then dis- cussed. For each condition, the key features of the history are described, along with the cardinal signs to be elicited on examination. The judicious use of investigations is also covered (as well as what the results mean!). Frequent re-assessment is emphasized to detect any clinical deterioration. Potential complications are listed, along with what to do next and when to seek further specialist advice. Drug doses are included within the text. The doses have been taken from BNF for Children (2009 ISBN 978 0 85369 847 0, Royal Pharmaceutical Company of Great Britain). Being an at-a-glance reference, the book is in the form of short notes and bullet points, with critical information highlighted. Flow diagrams guide you through the more complex areas. All are based on the best available evidence or on accepted best practice. Topics are grouped by body system, with a detailed index to provide easy access to information. Cross references have been kept to a minimum to facilitate use at the bedside. Where a complex subject is mentioned, consul- tation of the more detailed Oxford Handbook of Paediatrics is recommended. This book is ideal for any health professional or student who has to treat unwell children. Most of these will present to the Emergency Department, but some will be fi rst seen by their local doctor (GP or LMO) or other specialists in related fi elds. The book is therefore aimed at: • Paediatricians and doctors in the Emergency Department. • Nurse practitioners, both Paediatric and Emergency Department. • Anaesthetists, surgeons. • GP and GP trainees. • Medical students. • Allied health professionals. We hope you fi nd it useful, but please let us know if you have suggestions for improvement. Stuart Crisp Jo Rainbow March 2007 vii Acknowledgements Much has changed in the world of acute Paediatrics since the fi rst edition of Emergencies in Neonatology and Paediatrics. Consequently, there are many people to thank for producing the updated second edition. We are indebted to the original authors, who have revised their chapters: Steve Allen, Gordon Bates, Julie Edge, Paul Johnson, Huw Pullen, Ita Kelly, Tamsin Sleep, and Ingo Scholler. The editorial team at OUP have been patient, tolerant and always helpful, so particular thanks to Fiona Richardson, Katy Loftus, and their teams. Finally, thank you to our long-suffering families, without whose support, this would have been impossible.

    Jigarthanda Popsicle Recipe / Madurai Jil Jil Jigarthanda Kulfi Jigarthanda is a popular milk based energy drink sold in many restaurants and road side shops in south India. Jigar means “liver /heart /mind” Thanda means “cooling”. Jigarthanda Popsicle is prepared with almond tree gum (Badam Pisin), nannari syrup, milk and sugar. I already posted the authentic madurai Jigarthanda recipe in my blog. This is my favourite drink and I will never miss this drink when ever I go to Madurai. Coming to the jigarthanda popsicle recipe, here I used vanilla extract in place of nannari syrup and I used condensed milk in place of ice cream. I have no idea whether this jigardhanda popsicle available in shops, this is my own creative recipe by following the jigarthanda recipe. The idea of making this popsicle was in my mind for long time, at last I tried it last week. Woo-ooh, it was so rich, creamy and yummy. Here in US, summer has started it’s getting hot so this madurai jil jil jigarthada kulfi helps me to cool the body instantly. I bet the kids will love this for sure.

    A Group Photograph with Beba the Cow, happening on December 7, 2003, Zagreb. CHEESE AND CREAM An Initiative to Protect the Milkmaids of Zagreb (Since 2002) A Project by Kristina Leko in collaboration with BLOK Actions, Events, Research, Archives, Website, Exhibition, Roundtable, Campaign www.sirivrhnje.org (also www.cheeseandcream.org) While working on the project On Milk and People, I became familiar with many issues important to farming families. I learned a lot on issues related to agricultural policy, the dairy industry, and economical restructuring. I became deeply aware of social changes that would result from the process of accommodating the European Union regulations in Croatia and, respectively, in my hometown of Zagreb. As I understood that one of the consequences would be the disappearance of the milkmaids in the Zagreb open markets, I decided to start an initiative that would help the milkmaids of Zagreb survive, as they are a paradigmatic part of Croatian social reality. Is it possible to join the European leveling of economic standards in a way that preserves important elements of local cultural identity? In 2002, in collaboration with the not-for-profit organization BLOK, we began our initiative aiming to protect the milkmaids of Zagreb as a cultural heritage. Since the summer of 2002 we organized several happenings, undertook research on the condition of the milkmaids, presented their situation in an exhibition and launched a small media campaign. In order to test and affect the public opinion a website was created. In order to influence the administrative and political decision making, ten officials from different institutions were invited and participated in a round table entitled «Could Zagreb Milkmaids possibly join the EU?».

These polite dairies were functional spaces in which aristocratic women engaged, to varying degrees, in bucolic tasks of skimming milk, churning and molding butter, and preparing crèmes. As dairy work became a mode of genteel activity, dairies were constructed and renovated in the stylish architectural modes of the day and expanded to serve as spaces of leisure and recreation.

ABSTRACT Milk spoilage is an indefinite term and difficult to measure with accuracy. This uncertainty can cause suffering for both milk manufacturers and consumers. Consumers who have been misled by ambiguous expiration dates on milk cartons waste resources by disposing of unspoiled milk or experience discomfort from drinking spoiled milk. Consumers are often unwilling to purchase products close to their inaccurate expiration dates. This consumer behavior has a negative financial impact on milk producers. Inaccurate milk spoilage detection methods also force milk producers to use overly conservative expiration dates in an effort to avoid the legal and economic consequences of consumers experiencing ill- ness from drinking spoiled milk. Over the last decade, new methods have been researched with the purpose of develop- ing more accurate and efficient means of detecting milk spoilage. These methods include indicators based on pH bacte- ria counts and gas-sensor arrays.

E-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT Auscultation of the lung remains an essential part of physical examination even though its limitations, particularly with regard to communicating subjective findings, are well recognised. The European Respiratory Society (ERS) Task Force on Respiratory Sounds was established to build a reference collection of audiovisual recordings of lung sounds that should aid in the standardisation of nomenclature. Five centres contributed recordings from paediatric and adult subjects. Based on pre-defined quality criteria, 20 of these recordings were selected to form the initial reference collection. All recordings were assessed by six observers and their agreement on classification, using currently recommended nomenclature, was noted for each case.
