SUMMARY Fifty parents of 36 consecutive children admitted to hospital with their first febrile convulsion were interviewed shortly after the event. Very few parents voluntarily said that they had thought their child was dying, but when asked specifically the majority said they had thought the child was dying or likely to die. This common fear should be kept in mind when discussing febrile convulsions with parents, who are unlikely to volunteer the information. RÉSUMÉ Les parents pensent habituellement que lew enfant va mourir, lorsqu'ils observent chez lui la premiére convulsion hyperthermique 50 parents de 36 enfants admis consécutivement à l'hôpital aprés une premiere crise convulsive hyperthermique ont été interrogés peu apres l'evenement. Trés peu de parents mentionerent spontanement qu'ils avaient pense que leur enfant allait mourir mais en réponse à une question précise la majorité des parents précisèrent qu'ils avaient effectivement pensé que leur enfant était mourant ou allait mourir. Cette crainte commune doit être gardee à l'esprit dans une discussion sur les convulsions fébriles avec des parents qui cachent plus volontiers qu'ils ne révèlent leur sentiment sur ce point. ZUSAMMENFASSUNG Eltern, die den ersten Fieberkrampf ihres Kindes erleben, denken meistens, daβ es sterben wird 50 Eltern von 36 wegen ihres ersten Fieberkrampfes im Krankenhaus nacheinander aufgenommenen Kindern wurden kurz nach dem Vorfall interviewed. Sehr wenige Eltern erwähnten von sich aus, daß sie geglaubt haben, ihr Kind wiirde sterben, wenn sie aber speziell danach gefragt würden, sagte die Mehrheit der Eltern, sie haben gedacht, ihr Kind wiirde sterben oder sei nahe daran zu sterben. Diese allgemeine Furcht sollte man im Auge behalten, wenn man mit Eltern uber Fieberkrampfe spricht, da sie die Information dariiber eher fur sich behalten als sie offen auszusprechen. RESUMEN Generalmente los padres piensan que su hijo se estd muriendo al verlo con una primera convulsidn febril Cincuenta padres de 36 niños consecutivos ingresados en el hospital à causa de padecer una primera convulsión febril fueron entrevistados poco después del acontecimiento. Muy pocos padres dijeron voluntariamente que habian pensado que su hijo se estaba muriendo, pero cuando fueron preguntados especificamente, la mayoria dijeron que habian pensado que el nifio se estaba muriendo o à punto de morir. Este temor común debe debe ser recordado cuando se discute las convulsiones febriles con los padres, los cuales tienen mas tendencia à ocultarlo que ha ofrecer información voluntariamente acerca del hecho.
This effort investigates surface-preparation methods to enhance dynamic surface-property measurements of shocked metal surfaces. To assess the ability of making reliable and consistent dynamic surface-property measurements, the amount of material ejected from the free surface upon shock release to vacuum (ejecta) was monitored for shocked Al-1100 and Sn targets. Four surface-preparation methods were considered: Fly-cut machine finish, diamond-turned machine finish, polished finish, and ball rolled. The samples were shock loaded by in-contact detonation of HE PBX-9501 on the front side of the metal coupons. Ejecta production at the back side or free side of the metal coupons was monitored using piezoelectric pins, optical shadowgraphy, and x-ray attenuation radiography.
This article describes briefly how the authors set up and ran a psychotherapy group for eight young adults with mental handicaps to look at interpersonal and sexual relationships. At the outset an attempt was made to anticipate possible problems and to identify ways in which these might be avoided. Despite this, a wide variety of minor difficulties were encountered relating to all aspects of the group. The identification and discussion of these problem areas has been one of the major ways in which the authors have learned from this work, and from which others wishing to set up similar groups might benefit.
