Reliability and validity of a psycho-social problem inventory for childhood epilepsy.

In response to the need for formal psychosocial assessment in childhood epilepsy, a 25-question inventory was constructed from raw items based on multidisciplinary inputs and tested for practicality, and psychometric attributes. Weighted inter-rater and test-retest reliability estimates were 61.8% and 63.9% respectively. A measure of concurrent validity was satisfactory though a modest discrepancy was observed between two raters (P = 0.019 and 0.0064). Discriminant validity was very satisfactory (average P 0.001) based on compared means of ratings from two groups of subjects with disparate prognosis. The inventory should be useful in the assessment of similar chronic childhood disabilities but interpretations of data should be in a wider clinical context including inputs of informant and school authorities as indicated.

The handing over of foundlings in the early XIX century: an unpublished study on the medical and social problems of newborn babies abandoned in the hospital of Città di Castello.

The problems of illegitimate births in the early XIX century. The newborn babies were abandoned at the "Rota" of the hospital. The handing over of the newborn babies to the Rota avoided their being left with unknown persons, who, attracted by infant cries from a bundle in front of a Church or Convent, might be unreliable though compassionate. The hospital was the safest place for the babies as it provided immediate care but only after their souls had been given priority. First baptism and then medical care. For concealment the parents' names were not revealed. The baby was handed over by friends or well-wishers, a midwife or a neighbour that took interest in the baby receiving the required attention.
