Position paper on fatal abusive head injuries in infants and young children

This article represents the work of the National Association of Medical Examiners Ad Hoc Committee on shaken baby syndrome. Abusive head injuries include injuries caused by shaking as well as impact to the head, either by directly striking the head or by causing the head to strike another object or surface. Because of anatomic and developmental differences in the brain and skull of the young child, the mechanisms and types of injuries that affect the head differ from those that affect the older child or adult. The mechanism of injury produced by inflicted head injuries in these children is most often rotational movement of the brain within the cranial cavity. Rotational movement of the brain damages the nervous system by creating shearing forces, which cause diffuse axonal injury with disruption of axons and tearing of bridging veins, which causes subdural and subarachnoid hemorrhages, and is very commonly associated with retinal schisis and hemorrhages. Recognition of this mechanism of injury may be helpful in severe acute rotational brain injuries because it facilitates understanding of such clinical features as the decrease in the level of consciousness and respiratory distress seen in these injured children. The pathologic findings of subdural hemorrhage, subarachnoid hemorrhage, and retinal hemorrhages are offered as "markers" to assist in the recognition of the presence of shearing brain injury in young children.

农村发展党员工作调查

对黑龙江省128个村发展党员工作抽样调查表明,当前农村党员队伍结构性、素质性问题仍相当突出,村间队伍建设不平衡,新党员对改善农村党员队伍的素质和结构作用不够,体现出农村党组织凝聚力不够强、党员结构不够合理、工作机制不够完善、党员先进性不够突出等问题。主要因为：发展党员观念上不适应,责任上不到位,行为上利益化,方法上老化滞后。为此,要拓宽发展党员工作＂源头＂机制,健全＂责任＂机制,完善＂运行＂机制,强化＂保障＂机制,切实促进农村发展党员工作取得实效。

Addressing Japan's future challenges: A proposal for a comprehensive strategy

This report is the product of a June 1994 independent research project that focused on addressing reform and other challenges facing Japan, and on charting a comprehensive course for the future. Referring to the many uncertainties of the post‐Cold War world, the project members emphasize the urgent need for wide‐ranging political, economic, administrative, and social reform.
