HOLISTIC MIDWIFERY V1 Holistic Midwifery, Corrections & revisions in revised 6th ed. P. 430, last line above Examining the ear now reads (See chapter on Eye Problems in Problems That Can Occur at Any Time for details.) P. 441 from left to right, the illustration should be captioned: Boundaries of the breast, Clockwise method, Radial method, Transverse method. P. 462 the second full paragraph now reads: The pelvic inlet, which is defined by the pelvic brim, is the bony entry of the birth passage. Below this plane is the pelvic cavity, which forms a curved passage between the inlet and the outlet. The anterior wall of this passage is formed by the inner surface of the pubic bone, which is straight and shallow. The posterior wall is formed by the inner surface of the sacrum and coccyx which is deep and concave. The inner surface of the ischium and part of the body of the ilium are found on either side. The pelvic outlet is diamond-shaped and is bounded by the lower border of the pubic bone in front, the ischial tuberosities on either side and by the tip of the sacrum in back. P. 465 in the chart, under pelvic features, 11 items down the column now reads Splay of side walls. P. 503 the first few sentence in Dealing with latecomers now reads: Latecomers can be of three varieties. Some have just moved to your area, come bearing prenatal records and make wonderful clients. In other cases, they live nearby, have been desperately looking for you for most of their pregnancies, finally found you and prove to be very committed to homebirth, or they are fence-sitters who say they have been looking for you, but when they finally find you, after wasting your time and theirs doing a crash initial, chicken out. P. 583 HIV section new reads: HIV testing: The notion that the HIV virus causes AIDS has gone largely unchallenged since this hypothesis was introduced in the 1980s. The symptoms of AIDS and those of syphilis are identical in every respect. Internationally, there are some highly respected researchers who believe there is a link between AIDS and syphilis infection. Other correlations with the development of AIDS include heavy drug use and even the toxic therapies recommended for treating HIV. What the HIV virus might be or whether it can cause illness are topics of debate among a growing number of researchers. Counsel everyone regarding their risk factors for HIV and syphilis exposure (which are identical). Explain to them that there is a growing scientific controversy regarding exactly what HIV is, whether it is a problem, and what HIV antibody titers mean. Anyone who is HIV positive should review these issues carefully, and consider having laboratory work evaluated for a possible hidden syphilis infection through the BASIS Project, 2811 Martin Luther King Jr. Way, Berkeley CA, 94703 (510) 548-4000. (McKenna, 1993) This is a private research project set up to investigate unusual forms of syphilis. See Diagnostic Tests, 6th ed. for more details concerning HIV and syphilis.
