SUMMARY. Sudden death in infancy is now one of the commonest cause of death in young children in the United Kingdom affecting two to three per 1,000 livebirths. A number of background factors are associated with an increased risk of sudden death and the aetiology is likely to be multifactional. Some of these background factors are reviewed together with possible causes. The relationship with child abuse is discussed. While the aetiology and therefore methods of prevention remain uncertain, it is clear that families who suffer this form of bereavemem need support and counselling. The response of one health authority to the challenge of cot death is described.

The recent reversal of capital flows to emerging markets has pointed up the continuing relevance of the sudden stop problem. This paper analyzes the sudden stops in capital flows to emerging markets since 1991. It shows that the frequency and duration of sudden stops have remained largely unchanged, but that the relative importance of different factors in their incidence has changed. In particular, global factors appear to have become more important relative to country-specific characteristics and policies. Sudden stops now tend to affect different parts of the world simultaneously rather than bunching regionally. Stronger macroeconomic and financial frameworks have allowed policy makers to respond more flexibly, but these more flexible responses have not guaranteed insulation or mitigated the impact of the phenomenon. These findings suggest that the challenge of understanding and coping with capital-flow volatility is far from fully met.

Children's professionals can play a major role in helping to halve the rate of sudden infant death syndrome in the UK by 2020

Much current Japanese popular discussion centres on the sudden death, at an early age, of Japan′s hard‐working, white‐collar workers:Karoshi(death from overwork) – Salaryman′s Sudden Death Syndrome. Officially, it does not exist, as the government and big business are hesitant to acknowledge the phenomenon in light of the growing need to become more productive. The current recessionary pressure and growing shortage of labour in Japan has exposed this social phenomenon. Describeskaroshi, defines the extent of the phenomenon, explores changes that are occurring in Japan′s workforce and analyses the impact on Japan.
