History Of Head Research Articles

Worlds Without End

AbstractIn this, his last essay, the late iconoclast Mark Cousins, former Head of History and Theory Studies at the Architectural Association in London, explores the gaps between making architecture, abstracting it in model form, talking about it and writing about it. He reveals a schism in which words become slippery as we inhabit multiple worlds.

Traumatic cerebellar hematoma in paediatric patient – a case report and review of literature

Abstract Paediatric trauma is common emergency in emergency departments of hospitals worldwide. One of the uniqueness is the trauma sustained mostly in household areas and even the mode of injury is often subtle. Paediatric head injury is the one of the common reasons for children visiting the emergency department. Expert management and gentle care is an essential requirement in paediatric head injury cases. The management of the paediatric traumatic brain injury certainly depends upon the clinical conditions of patient and computed tomography {CT} findings. Most of the traumatic brain injuries can be managed conservatively but at times the surgical management has to be undertaken. A 6 month old child admitted with the history head injury. NCCT head revealed cerebellar hematoma with overlying subdural haemorrhage. Initially the child was managed conservatively but as the sensorium deteriorated the surgical evacuation was performed. The paediatric post fossa traumatic haemorrhage is a relatively uncommon and the management also needs to be individualized as per the patient’s condition.

The Making and Remaking of Irish History: An Interview with Vincent Comerford

On Tuesday, 26 April 2016, I sat down with former head of History at Maynooth University, Professor Vincent Comerford, to chat about the current state of the discipline, about changes within history over time and the telling of Irish history, and about the centennial commemorations of Ireland’s 1916 Rising. Prof. Comerford is originally from Tipperary and came to Maynooth in 1962, where he studied for his undergraduate and Master’s degree. He then attended Trinity College Dublin (TCD) and earned his PhD with the guidance and supervision of T. W. Moody. Subsequently, he became a lecturer in History at Maynooth in 1977, and was appointed Professor of Modern History and head of department in 1989, remaining in post until his retirement in 2010. At Maynooth he supervised more than thirty PhD theses on nineteenth- and twentieth-century Ireland, and oversaw a great expansion in the size of the History department and the scope of its activities. Professor Comerford’s bibliography includes: Charles J. Kickham: A Study in Irish Nationalism and Literature (1979); The Fenians in Context: Irish Politics and Society, 1848-82 (1985); and Ireland: Inventing the Nation (2003). Comerford also contributed the primary narrative for the period 1850-91 to A New History of Ireland. He has edited several collections and written numerous articles that focus on Irish nationalism and nineteenth century Irish history. The following is a transcript of our (just-over-one-hour-long) conversation.

Garbage in the Garden State: A Trash Museum Confronts New Jersey's Image

This essay discusses the Trash Museum which existed in Lyndhurst, New Jersey from 1989 to 1999 and how that institution affected attitudes toward New Jersey. New Jersey's long history of industrial pollution and its myriad garbage dumps had led many to substitute "Garbage State" for "Garden State" as the state's nickname. The museum explained the history of unregulated garbage dumping in the thirty-two-square mile Hackensack Meadowlands area and taught lessons relevant nationally about intelligent garbage disposal. By confronting the worst of its history head on, New Jersey was able to demonstrate to detractors its leadership in garbage disposal and remediation of otherwise ruined lands.
