British Journal of General Practice, April 2015 209 The red reflex The single most important piece of clinical information that a paediatric ophthalmologist requires is the presence or absence of a red reflex. An absent red reflex usually suggests sight-threatening pathology (cataract) and may mean lifethreatening pathology (retinoblastoma). Referrals from general practice are semiurgent and ne...

No previous publication about domestic neonatal burns exists in the literature. The authors have treated a 16-day-old baby boy for deep partial-thickness scalds that happened at home. The case report is followed by a literature review and discussion of the data previously published on neonatal burns. Special considerations to domestic neonatal burns are highlighted. A 16-day-old baby boy presen...

It was shown that own (vs. other) race baby faces capture attention automatically whereas other race babies do not (Hodsoll et al., 2010). Other literature provided evidence of an innate preferential response to baby faces (baby schema effect). We investigated whether infant (vs. adult) faces automatically attracted attention (exogenous orienting), and whether this was modulated by ethnicity. 3...

Long-term wiring on a newborn patient could be disguise scene for parents. Unobtrusive and reliable monitoring without can euphoric alternative newborns parents in obstetrics gynecology (OB/GYN) incubation rooms. However, continuous non-contact surveillance an room is challenging. Therefore, novel photoplethysmography imaging (PPGi) developed specifically baby skins through predictive adversari...

Baby Skyrmions are topological solitons in a (2+1)-dimensional field theory which resembles the Skyrme model in important respects. We apply some of the techniques and approximations commonly used in discussions of the Skyrme model to the dynamics of baby Skyrmions and directly test them against numerical simulations. Specifically we study the effect of spin on the shape of a single baby Skyrmi...

We examine the formation of giant elliptical galaxies using their globular cluster (GC) systems as probes of their evolutionary history. The bimodal distributions of GC metallicities in such galaxies are often cited as evidence for the formation of giant elliptical galaxies through mergers involving gas-rich spirals, with the metal-rich GCs forming during the merger process. We explore an alter...
