Constrictive pericarditis due to Streptococcus sanguis

We have described the third case of pericarditis caused by anaerobic streptococci in children. Despite operative drainage and high-dose penicillin therapy, there was rapid progression to constrictive pericarditis. Complete pericardiectomy was life-saving.

Family planning opinion leadership in Korea, 1971

The characteristics of Korean family planning opinion leaders are assessed through a secondary analysis of the 1971 national survey conducted by the Korean Institute for Research in the Behavioral Sciences. In effect, what characterized Korean family planning opinion leaders was a rather national and democratic model. Those who had tried methods, discussed them, and knew a lot about them assumed leadership roles more than others. Place of residence, education, and other such variables mattered relatively little unless a woman had credibility imparted by actual use and knowledge imparted by use or discussions with family planning professionals.
