George Larcos,

Congenital Heart Disease Studies

Assoc Prof George Larcos “For everything there is a season and a time for every matter under heaven” (Eccles. 3:1) Bienvenue a le journal! While your eyes were diverted to the action in South Africa and your ears were being hammered by the incessant vuvuzelas, your friendly editorial board burnt the midnight oil preparing another issue of the journal. Our theme behind the scenes has been finding the right balance of material to bring to you and this time around we'll be featuring topics in vascular medicine, paediatrics (musculoskeletal) and obstetrics. Dr John Swinnen from Westmead Hospital in Sydney reviews the important issue of assessing carotid arteries post stenting and gives us a vascular surgeon's view; his thoughts on the essential information to be conveyed are valuable. Amanda Crow and colleagues are also from the Westmead campus and present a well written review of children with a limp, which features plenty of good quality images and sound suggestions on the role of ultrasound. Of course, the journal wouldn't be the same without some O&G stuff; in this issue we're pleased that Lee and Walker from Melbourne have written a review on the role of ultrasound in IUGR; it's a complex area, but their review is logical, easy to read and packed full of useful tips. Anwar and Uppal complete the O&G theme with an interesting case report on an ectopic pregnancy. Just when I thought I'd seen it all! To finish things off, the Gleaner and St Peter's amanuensis bring you up to date with interesting material from other journals. Which brings me back to Solomon and a season for everything. With two newcomers featuring in this year's World Cup final, purists of the game are likewise anticipating that the stranglehold of the “big four” in the EPL is finally smashed. Maybe a team in sky blue will do the business? Yeah, I'm getting sick of that boring old banner they regularly unfurl at Old Trafford. Quelque chose pour moi pour rěver!
