The author reflects on his manuscript "The Sting of the Bee in Saturation Parity," which is written to stimulate discussion among the Labor Party who concentrates on the issue of the bomb. The author does not consider the discussion of larger issues that would lead to a rapid exchange of strategic strikes. He believes that England would be more secure if a position of semineutrality will be adopted and maintain a small, non contingent striking forces, enough to perform as the sting of the bee.

The author reflects on the possible outcomes when a nuclear war arises between the U.S. and Soviet Union. He believes that the atomic bomb explosion during the second world war had triggered Soviet Union to magnify its own nuclear armaments. It is in his contention that the U.S. must project even a minimal deterrent strategy in response for a possible attack from the Russians. He suggests that the two nations must come to a cut-off agreement in the production of their bombs and rockets.

The article presents a speech by Dr. Leo Szilard which was delivered at nine colleges and universities in the U.S. He discusses the probability of war as reflected by the pattern of behavior exhibited by the U.S. and Soviet Union, the issues of bomb tests and bomb shelters and the formulation of a political objective on which a dedicated minority could give all-out support to a political movement against war.

The article presents the short story "The Mined Cities," by Leo Szilard.

The article reflects the author's view regarding the cessation of bomb tests between Russia and U.S. He believes that continuation of testing for the purpose of developing bombs which are suitable for being carried by anti-missile missiles that may be developed for the purpose of destroying incoming long-range rockets in flight is a futile arms race. He stresses that if it were really true that the development of the anti-missile missiles requires the further development of bombs rather than of missiles, then the stopping of bomb tests might perhaps serve the purpose of preventing the futile arms race to which the development of anti-missile missiles might lead. Other arguments, contentions, and analyses of the author are presented.

The article reflects on the problems presented with the advent of the atomic bomb and other weapons of mass destruction. In the years after the first atomic bomb was dropped on Hiroshima, men of good will have thought that the problem posed by the bomb could be solved by getting rid of it in the foreseeable future. However, no one can be certain that this is, or that it ever really was, a promising approach to the problem. America and Russia might well be forced to retain for an indefinite period of time. For one, or more than one generation, substantial stockpiles of large hydrogen bombs, as well as the means suitable for their delivery.

This article talks about the problems brought about by the Atomic Stalemate between the Soviet Union and the U.S. The Atomic Stalemate will arise between the Strategic Air Forces of the U.S. and the Soviet Union when both countries will be able to devastate each other with hydrogen bombs. It is believed that the U.S. would annihilate Russia in retaliation for a Russian attack against American cities. Therefore, it may be perfectly rational for the U.S. to threaten Russia with annihilation in order to deter Russia from attacking her.

The article focuses on the initiative of scientist Leo Szilard to encourage physicists in America, England, France and Denmark to deter publication of papers related to atomic energy. It is indicated that his paper on the possibility of keeping a chain reaction in a system consisted of graphite and uranium was the first one withheld, as requested by the government. After the war, he was the one of the people who interfered with the publication of the Symth Report, since he felt that it will risk national security.

The article focuses on the diary of Dr. Davis which depicts something about him and the background of this curious document. He was found unconscious on June 21, 1948 and spent the rest of his life in a private room in Billings Hospital, where he wrote his diary over a period of ten years. The doctors were unable to decide just what was wrong with him, if anything. The diary is a remarkable document in so far as it shows that all the suffering through which the world to go including the Third World War, the fourth World War, the forcible establishment of a world government and the present upheavals. His clumsy style does not make the diary easy reading but the student with political ideas may be rewarded by a deeper understanding of modern political thought.

The article presents a speech by Leo Szilard, professor of biophysics at the University of Chicago, given to the Rochester Institute of International Affairs in Rochester, New York on December 10, 1949. He discusses the policy of the U.S. government to strive for an agreement to eliminate atomic bombs from national armaments since the administration of President Harry Truman. He explores the real issue between Russia and the U.S., specifically the former's desire for general disarmament.

The article discusses the scope of foreign policy that aims to prolong peace or lengthen the interval of war between two nations, particularly the conflict between the U.S. and the Soviet Union. An assumption or a premise regarding the Soviet Union which eyed the country as a dictatorship similar to the dictatorship of German Nazi Adolf Hitler is discussed. The real causes of the Russian-American conflict and the facts about the survival of the Atlantic Pact in its present structure are also tackled. To solve this conflict, the author suggested the neutralization of all atomic explosions and the production of atomic bombs that threatens the security of each nation.

The article reflects on the relationships between Russia and the United States. It presents a suggestion to Russian President Joseph Stalin which he should undertake to break the deadlock between the two nations. The steps include speaking directly to the American people informing them of the practicable solutions on the post-war issues which can have an immediate effect on the United States foreign policy.

The article reports on the problem of peace between nations. Foreign policies are aimed to prolong peace but these are not the solutions to the problem. United States proposed the creation of Atomic Development Authority to control atomic energy which will be in charge of manufacturing uranium and other dangerous materials. With this, Russia will be prevented from possessing any atomic weapons that it can use for war. Russia hesitates to agree to the founding of such an authority for it will only benefit the United States and not them. In addressing this dilemma, the article states that this can be satisfied with a framework of an organized world community. Arrangements between nations can be maintained that can give chance to solve the problem of peace.

Background: Cervical cancer is the most frequent cancer type encountered during pregnancy, with an incidence of between 1.4--4.6 cases per 100,000 births. Although there are regulations regarding the correct therapeutic procedure to follow in such circumstances, their application is often hampered by the patient's wishes. Case presentation: The authors describe the case of a pregnant patient (gestational age 25 weeks) who refused neoadjuvant chemotherapy for early-stage cervical cancer. She underwent a failed abdominal radical trachelectomy due to the large uterine volume and inadequate access to the parametria. The final surgical treatment was achieved at 32 gestational weeks when a C-section was performed. This was immediately followed by an abdominal radical trachelectomy with pelvic lymphadenectomy aimed at fertility preservation. Conclusions: The guidelines recommend neoadjuvant chemotherapy as the only pregnancy-preserving option for pregnancies past 22 gestational weeks. However, the patient in this case wished to protect the fetus from possible risks arising due to neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Hence, at the gestational age of 25 weeks she underwent a surgical procedure laden with many risks. The role of abdominal trachelectomy for early stage cervical cancer during pregnancy is still under debate due to the lack of multicenter randomized trials, despite its proven effectiveness in a relatively small number of cases.
