Publicness and commoning: Pandemic intersections and collective visions at times of crisis.

In this article, we examine during the pandemic, with a particular focus on the conditions it creates or constricts for engagement, solidarity and collective action. We interrogate the intensive publicness of the crisis to reflect on its assumed and established equation with progressive political possibility - transparency, accountability and democratic procedure. Theoretically, we cut into the contemporary ambiguity of publicness by putting it into conceptual dialogue with the idea of , a notion that speaks to the resources and political consequences of coming together, and publicness not as coexistence and speech acts but as a domain of struggle.

Pelvic and buttock hypoplasia reconstructed with anatomical breast implants.

Radiation therapy is used in the management of a number of childhood cancers and can have significant effects on skeletal growth. We present the case of a 35-year-old woman who developed a hypoplastic pelvis and buttocks following radiotherapy for rhabdomyosarcoma of the vagina at the age of 2. At the age of 25, the patient underwent bilateral buttock augmentation with a two-stage reconstruction using tissue expansion followed by definitive augmentation with anatomical breast implant insertion.

Comparison of the relative analgesic efficacies of epidural or intramuscular diamorphine following total knee arthroplasty.

Background And Objectives: Debate has proliferated as to the true site of action of opioids when placed in the epidural space. The aim of this study was to compare the analgesic effects of a bolus of diamorphine given by the epidural or intramuscular route.

Methods: Sixty patients having elective primary total knee replacements were recruited and randomized to receive epidural or intramuscular diamorphine.

Use of W-plasty in stenotic stoma: a new solution for an old problem.

Indication: Amongst late complications of stomas, stenosis can be difficult to treat. Repeated dilatations rarely achieve long-term resolution and re-fashioning is not always successful. Application of an existing plastic surgical technique to treat stomal stenosis is described.

A comparison of cyclizine, ondansetron and placebo as prophylaxis against postoperative nausea and vomiting in children.

Nausea and vomiting is a relevant and common problem with unfavourable sequelae in children undergoing some plastic surgery procedures. There is a lack of anti-emetic trials performed in children, with only a few investigating the roles of the older anti-emetic agents such as cyclizine compared with newer ones such as ondansetron. This randomised, controlled, double-blind study examined the effectiveness of a single dose of ondansetron (0.
