Fournier gangrene following urethral necrosis by indwelling catheter.
A patient with Fournier gangrene secondary to necrosis of the urethra by a catheter balloon is presented. This is believed to be the first case of scrotal and perineal gangrene resulting from an indwelling catheter. The fact that an inflated catheter balloon can slip down into the urethra and produce necrosis is demonstrated. A short review of the literature is presented.

Migration, urban growth, and development: Pakistan's experience.
The authors "focus primarily on voluntary, peacetime migration [in Pakistan], both internal and international, and attempt to analyze some of its possible socioeconomic consequences." The importance of the role of migration in urban population growth is discussed, with attention to implications for social and economic development. The impact of large-scale emigration of workers to the Middle East is also assessed. The analysis is based on data from the 1951, 1961, 1972, and 1981 censuses as well as from secondary sources.
