Physical education teachers' (N = 9) beliefs and implementation of competitive activities for middle school multicultural student populations (Grades 6-8) in physical education class in the Greater New York area were examined. Data were collected by nonparticipant observation and field notes, two semistructured interviews, and postobservation informal interviews. The theory of reasoned action guided the study. Three themes emerged: competitive activities, an introduction to culture; using demonstration to teach competitive activity skills to diverse students; and creating community. Successful instruction of diverse students was observed; however, fully incorporating cultural relevance through competitive activities was not fully demonstrated. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The article presents various case studies related to benign multicystic mesothelioma. A 53-year-old woman who suffered from intermittent urinary urgency has found that she has a multilobulated cystic structure in the cul-de-sac through magnetic resonance imaging. Another study of a 35-year-old who underwent a supracervical abdominal hysterectomy remained asymptomatic after her surgery. Moreover, a 46-year-old woman who suffered from laparoscopic bilateral salpingectomy was successfully cured.
