ALAN M. TURING'S CRITIQUE OF RUNNING SHORT CRIBS ON THE US NAVY BOMBE
2003
Declassified documents from the \"Crane Collection\" at the National Archives (USA) reveal much of the cryptanalytical collaboration that defeated the German Naval Enigma machine. As researchers continue to work through these papers, new light is shed on that relationship. In May, 2002 a manuscript, typed and handwritten, by Alan M. Turing was found by the author in the \"Crane Collection\". Written at the time of his United States visit during the winter of 1942-1943, it reflects Government Code and Cypher School (GC&CS) interests and skepticism regarding the US Naval Intelligence (OP-20-G) effort to independently design and construct its own rapid analytical machines (RAMs).

CD REVIEW: The Cribs, 'In the Belly of the Brazen Bull'
2012
The UK indie stars have long been criminally overlooked Stateside, but the recent '90s resurgence on rock radio could possibly find them in better stead, with a guitar attack, bassline leads, and scuffed-around-the-edges pop sensibilities that call to mind the Pixies or Weezer at their messiest.

Punching out some punk rock
The trio of British brothers - Ross, Gary and Ryan Jarman - is known for its lo-fi, pre-garage band sound, and this album highlights what the brothers do best: making rock the old-fashioned way, with a lot of passion and just a few instruments.

The epidemiology of crib-related head injuries: A ten-year nationwide analysis
2023
Falls from cribs resulting in head injury are understudied and poorly characterized. The purpose of this study was to advance current understanding of the prevalence, descriptive characteristics of injury victims, and the types of crib fall-related head injuries (CFHI) using queried patient cases from the National Electronic Injury Surveillance System (NEISS) database.
Using the US Consumer Product Safety Commission's System NEISS database, we queried all CFHIs among children from over 100 emergency departments (EDs). Patient information regarding age, race, sex, location of the incident, diagnoses, ED disposition, and sequelae were analyzed. The number of CFHI from all US EDs during each year was also collected from the database.
There were an estimated 54,799 (95% CI: 30,228–79,369) total visits to EDs for CFHIs between 2012 and 2021, with a decrease in incidence of approximately 20% during the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic (2019: 5616 cases, 2020: 4459 cases). The annual incidence of injuries showed no significant trend over the 10-year study period. An available subset of 1782 cases of head injuries from approximately 100 EDs was analyzed, and 1442 cases were included in final analysis. Injuries were sorted into three primary categories: unspecified closed head injury (e.g., closed head injury, blunt head trauma, or traumatic brain injury), concussion, or open head injury and skull fracture. Unspecified closed head injuries were the most common of all head injuries (95.4%, 1376/1442). Open head injuries (14/1442, 0.97%) and concussions 3.6% (52/1442, 3.6%) were rare. Most injuries involved children under the age of 1 (42.6%) compared to children who were 1, 2, 3, or 4-years old. About a fourth of patients had other diagnoses in addition to their primary injury including scalp/forehead hematomas, emesis, and contusions. Female patients were more likely to present with other diagnoses in addition to their primary head injury (Difference: 12.3%, 95% CI: 9.87%–15.4%, p < .0001).
Despite minimum rail height requirements set by the Consumer Safety Product Commission (CPSC), head injuries associated with crib falls are prevalent in the United States. However, most injuries were minor with a vast majority of patients being released following examination and treatment.

Murder, Medicine and Motherhood
2011
Since the early 1990s, unexplained infant death has been reformulated as a criminal justice problem within many western societies. This shift has produced wrongful convictions in more than one jurisdiction. This book uses a detailed case study of the murder trial and appeals of Kathleen Folbigg to examine the pragmatics of proof beyond a reasonable doubt. It explores how legal process, medical knowledge and expectations of motherhood work together when a mother is charged with killing infants who have died in mysterious circumstances. The author argues that Folbigg, who remains in prison, was wrongly convicted. The book also employs Folbigg’s trial and appeals to consider what lessons courts have learned from prior wrongful convictions, such as those of Sally Clark and Angela Cannings. The author’s research demonstrates that the Folbigg court was misled about the state of medical knowledge regarding infant death, and that the case proceeded on the incorrect assumption that behavioural and scientific evidence provided independent proofs of guilt. Individual chapters critically assess the relationships between medical research and expert testimony; the operation of unexamined cultural assumptions about good mothering; and the manner in which contested cases are reported by the press as overwhelming.
Impact of service changes on neonatal transfer patterns over 10 years
2007
Introduction: Many changes have been made to the staffing and organisation of neonatal care in the UK in the past 10 years. This study assessed the extent to which these changes had affected the transfer of babies between different parts of the service. Methods: Data from the Trent Neonatal Survey, an ongoing study of neonatal intensive care activity in the former Trent Health Region of the UK, were used to evaluate neonatal inter-hospital transfers over a 10-year period, from 1 January 1995 to 31 December 2004. The number of transfers and the types of transfer were analysed and trends in gestation and disease severity over the study period were assessed. Rates of “inappropriate transfer” were also identified. Results: 8105 babies were transferred over the period; 2294 babies underwent urgent postnatal transfer and this equates to approximately two such transfers every three days. The maximum number of journeys by any one baby was eight. Intensive care activity rose during the 10 years but the number of inappropriate transfers remained persistently high. Conclusions: Organisational changes in neonatal care during the 10-year period have been insufficient to deal with the rising demand, as reflected by the persistently high rate of inappropriate transfers.
