The author was appointed as the Principal of the Canberra College of Advanced Education in 1987, as Deputy Vice Chancellor of the amalgamated and expanded Australian National University in 1988 and as the inaugural Vice Chancellor of the University of Canberra in 1989. Drawing on an extensive personal archive of official documents, newspaper coverage, internal CCAE documents and personal records of meetings, the author first sketches the background to the binary system which operated until 1987, the changes which produced a Unified National System under Minister John Dawkins and the special conditions which prevailed in the Australian Capital Territory. He then describes in detail the policy-making process from the perspective of one of the actors, drawing mainly from the public record. As Principal, his first move in response to the reform agenda promulgated n...

Radiologic evidence of colonic inflammation supports the diagnosis. We report a single United Kingdom tertiary center experience with management and outcome of typhlitis for 5 years. Hospital computerized records were screened for ultrasound or computerized tomographic scan requests for abdominal pain for all oncology inpatients (2001-2005). Retrospective case note analysis was used to collect clinical data for patients with features of typhlitis. The incidence of typhlitis among oncology inpatients was 6.7% (40/596) among oncology inpatients and 11.6% (40/345) among those on chemotherapy. Eighteen children had radiologically confirmed typhlitis, and 22 had clinical features alone. Most (93%) patients responded to conservative management. Eighteen children had a variable period of bowel rest, including 12 patients who were supported with total parenteral nutrition. Three patients had laparotomy that revealed extensive colonic bowel necrosis (1), perforated gastric ulcer (1), and a perforated appendix (1). A single child died of fulminant gram-negative sepsis without surgical intervention. The diagnosis of typhlitis was based on clinical features, supported by radiologic evidence in almost half of the study group. Surgical intervention should be reserved for specific complications or where another surgical pathologic condition cannot reasonably be ruled out.
