Title: Pharmacist by profession and artist at heart Abstract: Strictly speaking I should be interviewing a pharmacist. And yet, the first thing I get to see are canvases of paintings - beautifully and delicately made scenes of Maltese corners. Not the usual tourist scenes which just about every other artist attempts to experiment with now and again, but snippets of curiosity eked out of your average Maltese streetscape. When considering a 'pjazza' this artist does not take in the architectural details facades, but rather hones in on the most innocuous and probably ignored element of all, focusing on it so intently that it acquires independent aplomb. This is the art of Maria Rossella Dalmas, a pharmacist by profession and an artist at heart.

Title: Breast masses in children : part 1 Authors: Vassallo, Pierre Abstract: Breast lesions in children and adolescents are managed differently from those in adults. Unlike in adults, the initial breast imaging study performed in pediatric patients is ultrasound, whereas mammography is reserved for selected cases. Advantages of ultrasound over mammography include lack of ionizing radiation in a susceptible population and greater sensitivity in the relatively dense fibroglandular tissue of young girls. Mammography has a role in the evaluation of microcalcifications and of suspicious discrete masses in older adolescents. Also biopsy and surgical intervention are more cautiously employed in children and adolescents due the low prevalence of breast cancer in this age group and the risk of injuring the developing breast.
