Die Tochter, die ihr eigenes Altern vor sich sieht, erlebt das Sterben des Vaters, die Hilflosigkeit und plötzliche Vergreisung der zurückbleibenden Mutter. Die Tochter reagiert mit heftigen Gefühlsschwankungen, gegen die ihre Vernunft vergeblich protestiert: Jammer, Panik, Wut und der Wunsch nach Nähe. Sie erträgt nicht, wie die Mutter vergisst, wie sie in eine merkwürdig selektive Demenz gleitet, gerät in einen Zustand verzweifelter Auflehnung, als könnte die Mutter, wenn sie nur wollte, so bleiben, wie die Tochter sie ein Leben lang kannte. In ihre Auflehnung mischt sich Schuldgefühl: Sie organisiert den Umzug der Mutter ins Wohnstift, weil sie nicht mit ihr leben kann. Jeder Besuch, auch die Zeit zwischen den Besuchen, ist von dieser Ambivalenz der Gefühle gezeichnet. Es dauert lang, bis die Tochter sich abfinden, die Liebe wieder spüren, in Einverständnis mit der Mutter zusammen sein kann.

This paper constructs a specifically Marxian theory of economic crisis from scattered but sufficient theoretical arguments in Marx's work. This theory integrates the following conceptual elements viewed as central: capital accumulation, falling rate of profit, realization problem, the efficiency structure of firms within an industry, and capitalists' expectations. Implications of this theory for assessments of government economic policy and of recent economic history are briefly suggested.
Background Wolff-Parkinson-White (WPW) syndrome poses a risk for tachyarrhythmias and sudden cardiac death. Most WPW studies have relatively limited numbers of subjects and brief follow-up periods. Methods We reviewed records of 238 consecutive military aviators with WPW syndrome evaluated from 1955 to 1999. Follow-up was by questionnaires, telephone interviews, or death certificates. Events included sudden cardiac death and supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) (by electrocardiographic [ECG] documentation or suggestive symptoms). Results The mean age was 34.3 years (range 17-56 years). Forty-two (42/238, 17.6%) had SVT (WPW syndrome) and 196 of 238 (82.4%) had the WPW ECG pattern only. The mean follow-up of 21.8 years (range 2-41 years) was obtained on 228 of 238 (96%) for a total of 4906 patient-years. Sudden cardiac death occurred in 1 of 228, an incidence of 0.0002 per patient-year (95% confidence interval 0.0-0.001). SVT occurred in 47 of 228 (20.6%) or 0.01 per patient-year. One hundred eighty-seven (187/228, 82%) initially had the WPW ECG pattern only; 28 of 187 (15.0%) reported SVT during follow-up. Forty-one (41/228, 18%) initially had WPW syndrome; 19 of 41(46.3%) reported additional SVT during follow-up. Conclusion Sudden cardiac death risk was low (0.02%/patient-year) in this WPW population. The SVT incidence was 1% per patient-year. Referral bias and some characteristics of the unique military aviator population may partly account for these low event rates. However, these results may be more applicable to unselected populations than are tertiary referral-based studies. (Am Heart J 2001;142:530-6.)

"Austerity Baby might best be described as an 'oblique memoir'. Janet Wolff's fascinating volume is a family history – but one that is digressive and consistently surprising. The central underlying and repeated themes of the book are exile and displacement; lives (and deaths) during the Third Reich; mother-daughter and sibling relationships; the generational transmission of trauma and experience; transatlantic reflections; and the struggle for creative expression. Stories mobilised, and people encountered, in the course of the narrative include: the internment of aliens in Britain during the Second World War; cultural life in Rochester, New York, in the 1920s; the social and personal meanings of colour(s); the industrialist and philanthropist, Henry Simon of Manchester, including his relationship with the Norwegian explorer, Fridtjof Nansen; the liberal British campaigner and MP of the 1940s, Eleanor Rathbone; reflections on the lives and images of spinsters. The text is supplemented and interrupted throughout by images (photographs, paintings, facsimile documents), some of which serve to illustrate the story, others engaging indirectly with the written word."
