Abstract

The concepts of emergence and collective intelligence are fascinating, and from their study might come good things. But neither is 'good' by definition and we ought to be careful not to let our enthusiasm and interest lead to us into speaking too casually about the benefits of 'encouraging emergence' or 'developing collective intelligence'. We can find ourselves battling the emergent properties of a system, and working against its collective intelligence. This article explores an example to illustrate this from the field of social care. It also discusses some tentative 'laws' and some issues resulting from the positive nature of popular perspectives on emergence., Introduction The ideas of emergence and collective intelligence seem to be inherently attractive ones. When we read about ants solving a problem, or people being wiser as a group, we [...]

25. Efficacy of Magnetic Resonance Imaging in 139 Children With Tumors

Author

Cohen, Mervyn D., Weetman, Robert M., Provisor, Arthur J., Grosfeld, Jay L., West, Karen W., Cory, David A., Smith, John A., and McGuire, Warren

Abstract

• One hundred thirty-nine children with neoplasms were studied using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). This procedure was as accurate as computed tomography in predicting tumor histology, except that MRI was unable to detect small areas of tumor calcification. Magnetic resonance imaging could accurately identify the organ of origin of tumor masses and differentiate soft tissue from fat, fluid, or hemorrhage. In addition, MRI was helpful in planning surgery in many cases: (1) It was better than computed tomography in defining the size and extent of soft-tissue tumor masses. (2) It was accurate in defining the extent of the spread of bone sarcomas in the bone marrow. (3) Without requiring the injection of intravenous contrast agents, it accurately defined displacement, encasement, or invasion of major abdominal blood vessels by Wilms' tumors and neuroblastomas. As a means of evaluating pediatric neoplasms, MRI is noninvasive, painless, and well tolerated by children, and it uses no radiation.(Arch Surg 1986;121:522-529)

26. Childhood Neutropenia

Author

Weetman, Robert M. and Boxer, Laurence A.

Abstract

27. Nutritional Support of Children with Neoplastic Diseases

Author

Coates, Thomas D., Rickard, Karyl A., Grosfeld, Jay L., and Weetman, Robert M.

Abstract

Significant advances have been made in the past 20 years in the treatment and support of children with cancer. Nutritional staging, assessment, and support are now recognized as important parts of management of the patient. Carefully planned oral nutrition programs and central parenteral nutrition can prevent or reverse protein energy malnutrition in children with cancer and thereby provide potential for growth, development, and quality of life as well as prevent the adverse effects related to this malnutirition. Provision of aggressive nutritional support improves patients’ tolerance of chemotherapy in certain types of cancer and treatment.
