Selected AbstractsChanging Times, Changing Needs, Changing ProgramsPUBLIC HEALTH NURSING, Issue 3 2005Article first published online: 24 JUN 200 EDITOR's NOTE, The following reprint of the unsigned editorial for the April 1952 issue of Public Health Nursing describes the historical needs and the continuing development of school health nursing from the early to mid-20th century. Twenty-first century schools continue to deal with some of the same issues such as hunger, poor nutrition, and the adverse effects of overly burdensome work schedules on adolescent health and mental well-being. The goal, so optimistically anticipated by the editors of Public Health Nursing in 1952, of continuous, well-coordinated health supervision from birth to maturity continues to elude us. Of course, school nurses and other health personnel address problems not openly discussed in the 1950s,substance abuse, violence, sexually transmitted diseases, and teen pregnancy. The theme of this historical editorial is the power of advocacy,and the responsibility public health nurses have to use our talents to improve child health.

[source] Reactions of gaseous ions.JOURNAL OF MASS SPECTROMETRY (INCORP BIOLOGICAL MASS SPECTROMETRY), Issue 1 2001Editor's Note: The following paper is the first in a series that describes the gas phase reactions of positive ions derived from compounds such as methane and ethylene with other gas phase molecules to produce secondary ions. These very careful experiments formed the basis of chemical ionization, one of the ionization techniques that revolutionized mass spectrometry at that time and a technique still very much in use today. At elevated pressures in a mass spectrometer ion source reactions occur between certain ions and the neutral species present. We have studied the various secondary ions formed in methane and ethylene at elevated pressures and have determined the reactions by which they are formed and the rates of these reactions. The rates are all extremely fast. The reaction rates have been treated by classical collision theory and it has been shown that to a fair approximation the cross-sections and reaction rate constants can be predicted from a simple balance of rotational and polarization forces.

Stichler DNSc Editor's Note: In June 2000, Lifelines launched its first series on the business of women's health. As women's health continues to emerge as a "must-provide" services line for all types of health care organizations, Lifelines again asked widely recognized women's health services experts to revisit the notion of creating a women's health business model. Beginning in this issue, and continuing through the next two issues, we'll explore the strategies, marketing approaches and needed finance tools in developing a successful women's health business model.

These will represent brief position papers on controversial topics in our specialty. They are not intended to be review articles, rather will represent "position papers" on topical issues, with a relatively circumscribed and selective bibliography. Authors of these papers are encouraged to present and defend their own views on the subject in question. Most of these papers will be by invitation, but authors who would like to submit an article for this series are encouraged to contact the Brain Pathology editorial office.

We welcome musings on the state of the profession, the life of the independent scholar, political activism, teaching, publishing, or other topics of interest to feminist philosophers. We particularly invite submissions that pick up conversational threads begun by earlier contributions to the column, so that Musings becomes a forum for talking to one another. If you have an idea for the column, please tell us about it. [source] Déjà Vu all over again: Charter reform fails in St. LouisNATIONAL CIVIC REVIEW, Issue 3 2005Robert A. Cropf Editor's note: There is a lively ongoing debate in this country over the forms of organization and the distribution of powers within local government, especially when it comes to the critical question of mayoral leadership. The following essay is an account of a failed attempt to change St. Louis's city charter. Because the National Civic League's Community Services program played a role in facilitating the discussion leading up to the proposal of charter amendments, we would like to emphasize that as with most essays and reports published in this journal, the analysis and conclusions herein represent the perspectives of the authors, or in some cases the participants they interviewed, and not necessarily those of National Civic League staff. We hope this essay will stimulate further discussion and debate on these critical issues of concern. [source] Methods in Nutrition Science: Cre/loxP System for Generating Tissue-specific Knockout Mouse ModelsNUTRITION REVIEWS, Issue 6 2004Claudine H. Kos Ph.D. Editor's note: From time to time, we take the opportunity in Nutrition Reviews to highlight a particularly exciting application of sophisticated methodological advances that are relevant to the nutrition research community. In the current issue of Nutrition Reviews, Dr. Claudine Kos has provide a brief review of some of the salient features of the Cre/loxP system for generating tissue-specific knockout mouse models. Hopefully, this review will provide additional background to Dr. George Wolf's Brief Critical Review (page 253) of the use of the Cre/loxP technique by investigators to gain further insight into the function of the peroxysome proliferators-activated receptor-gamma (PPAR-,), as well as promote its further use within experimental nutrition. Alteration of the mouse genome by conventional transgenic and gene-targeted approaches has greatly facilitated studies of gene function. However, a gene alteration expressed in the germ line may cause an embryonic lethal phenotype resulting in no viable mouse to study gene function. Similarly, a gene alteration may exert its effect in multiple different cell and tissue types, creating a complex phenotype in which it is difficult to distinguish direct function in a particular tissue from secondary effects resulting from altered gene function in other tissues. Therefore, methods have been developed to control conditions such as the timing, cell-type, and tissue specificity of gene activation or repression. This brief review provides an overview of the Cre/LoxP system for generating tissue-specific knockout mouse models.
