Title: Enuresis : the silent epidemic Abstract: It is estimated that between 10% and 15% of all children over 5 years of age wet themselves accidentally. Whilst the vast majority of these children will cure themselves with time, about 2% have an anatomical anomaly which needs correcting. Even in the functional cases treatment modalities exist to relieve symptoms and help keep the child dry.

Title: Two epidemics in French occupied Valletta in 1798-1800 Abstract: General Bonaparte captured the Maltese Islands on the 10 June 1798 and drove away the Knights of St John. He took over their Holy Infirmary and turned it into an Hopital Militaire for his sick troops. Dr Claude Etienne Robert, was appointed Medecin-en-Chef in charge of medical cases and Jean Pierre Fauverge Chirurgien Major was made responsible for surgical patients. During the following two years Robert treated no less than three thousand medically sick troops; and Fauverge treated ninety-two surgical cases. There were besides a number of venereal patients, forty of whom died within three months (1). Two outstanding events marked the tenure of office of these two French practitioners - an epidemic of scurvy and an outbreak of infestation by intestinal worms.
