Abstract It is a great privilege for me to greet you, the entering class of 1962, and to welcome back you upper classmen of this 61st year of the Cornell Medical College. On behalf of my colleagues on the faculty, may I extend to you a most cordial welcome to join our academic circle. May I also express our common hope that the next four years will be fruitful and rewarding ones. You have begun a course of study which will in time qualify you for membership in an ancient and honorable profession just as I did 42 years ago in this same medical school. In the interim the medical curriculum has undergone incredible changes. Instrumental refinements coupled with advances in biological knowledge have so extended the frontiers of scientific medicine that many new areas have already eluded my comprehension despite frantic efforts to keep abreast. I am grateful that

Abstract It is usually expected that the author of a contribution to a special issue should present an essay which indicates a clinical or scientific path stimulated by the recipient of the special issue, in this case S. Z. Levine, MD. To remain within the realm of the usual, such a directive has been accepted even though the result is more narrative and philosophic than scientific. Dr. Levine has devoted a major portion of his life toward the goal of international understanding. In recognition of his efforts, and in order to preserve this most important objective, his students, family, and friends contributed time and money to form the Foundation for International Child Health in 1962. Although it has remained relatively small, the Foundation has gained international recognition for its work in the area of training, care, and research projects related to maternal and child health in the developing nations of References 1.

Abstract In the foregoing essay, Norman Kretchmer, MD, PhD, has described the origin, goals, and some of the extraordinary accomplishments of the Foundation for International Child Health, founded in 1962 in honor of Samuel Z. Levine, MD, to whom this special issue is dedicated. Commendable modesty precluded a full assessment of Dr. Kretchmer's own outstanding role in furthering the aims of the Foundation, especially through his recent unique contributions in Nigeria. The remarkable productivity of the Foundation during its early years stemmed directly from Dr. Levine's personal role in identifying programs deserving support. In his earlier wide-ranging international travels on medical missions—the last as recent as April 1970—Dr. Levine actually sought out applications from health professionals who, in his keen judgment, were doing important and unique work. This extensive and perceptive acquaintance with men and institutions assured the continued excellence of the Foundation's activities. Prudently, Dr. Levine has decelerated the pace

Abstract Study of the postperinatal infant mortality offers certain advantages for international comparison, because the problems of differences of definition and confusion between stillborn and liveborn infants are largely eliminated. Furthermore, the postperinatal rates concentrate on the area in which environmental influences and the quality of care given the infant are predominant. Data available for comparison of rates between 1956 and 1966 suggest that while there are wide variations internationally, some countries with very high rates have been able to improve dramatically. Most countries with rates between 15 and 50 have improved substantially and a large proportional improvement occurred even among countries with quite low rates. In the latter group the position of the United States has become substantially worse in the decade under study. References 1.

Practical Implications of Doctor-Patient Interaction Analysis for Pediatric PracticeKorsch, Barbara M.;Freemon, Barbara;Negrete, Vida Francis

Abstract There is a need for physicians and other health workers to attempt to speak the patient's language and, if not to accept, then at least to understand the patient's value system. Attention must be given to patients' own ideas about the presenting illness, and their expectations of the physician must be dealt with explicitly. Parents need specific information about the nature and causation of illness in their children. In addition, direct attention must be given to the emotional and social components of child health, especially during visits for well-baby care and health supervision. Patients appreciate a physician who is friendly, who expresses solidarity and support to them, who devotes some time to nonmedical and social subjects, and who treats them with warmth, humanity, and respect.

Abstract Cold stress led to elevated plasma glycerol and free fatty acid (FFA) levels in 12 airventilated puppies. In contrast to persisting high plasma glycerol and FFA levels in the control group, marked falls of these plasma constituents occurred in six animals made hypoxic. Returning the hypoxic puppies to air breathing resulted in partial recovery of prehypoxic elevations of plasma glycerol and FFA. These observations in puppies indicate that lipolysis stimulated by cold stress was inhibited by hypoxia. Since FFA is a major fuel for heat production, reduced lipolysis at low oxygen tensions may contribute to impaired thermogenesis in young hypoxic mammals. References 1.

Abstract Phagocytic and bactericidal functions of polymorphonuclear leukocytes and the development of serum opsonic activity in newborn infants were studied using Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa as the test organisms. Ingestion and intracellular killing of the bacteria were normal in leukocytes from 18 infants as was the reduction of nitro blue tetrazolium by phagocytizing leukocytes from 41 infants. Opsonic activity for the three bacteria was deficient in infants under 3,000 gm (6 lb 10 oz) with 10% and 2.5% concentrations of cord sera. Seventy-five percent to 100% of the opsonic activity of cord sera was heat-labile. Total hemolytic complement activity and the third component of complement (C′3) were measured and found to be related to birth weight. A significant relationship between C′3 levels and opsonic activity for S aureus and P aeruginosa was observed. References 1. Tunnicliff R: Observations on antiinfectious power of blood of infants .

Abstract Abnormalities of platelet function can result in defective hemostasis and a prolonged bleeding time in spite of a normal platelet count. Platelet function tests including platelet adhesiveness, platelet aggregation to adenosine diphosphate (ADP), collagen, and thrombin, clot retraction, and platelet factor 3 (PF3) release were performed in 16 patients who had mild to moderately severe bleeding diathesis. Hereditary platelet functional diseases which are reported include von Willebrand's disease, ADP release defect, PF3 release defect, and Glanzmann's thrombasthenia. Platelet dysfunction is described in association with the following diseases: connective tissue disorders, glycogen storage diseases, biliary cirrhosis, disseminated lupus erythematosus, thalassemia major, streptococcal infection, intravascular coagulation, and acyanotic congenital heart disease. A tentative classification of hereditary and acquired disorders of platelet function is presented. References 1. Maupin B: Blood Platelets in Man and Animals .

Abstract Hodgkin's disease developed in a girl 8 years 9 months of age with the physical and hematologic stigmata of Chediak-Higashi syndrome. The association of malignant lymphoma with Chediak-Higashi syndrome has been reported previously, but to our knowledge, no case of Hodgkin's disease has been described to date. References 1.
