Fabulous Adventures In Coding
Eric Lippert is a principal developer on the C# compiler team. Learn more about Eric.
Here's an interesting question I got the other day:
We are writing code to translate old mainframe business report generation code written in a BASIC-like language to C#. The original language allows "goto" branching from outside of a loop to the interior of a loop, but C# only allows branching the other way, from the interior to the exterior. How can we branch to the inside of a loop in C#?
We are writing code to translate old mainframe business report generation code written in a BASIC-like language to C#. The original language allows "goto" branching from outside of a loop to the interior of a loop, but C# only allows branching the other way, from the interior to the exterior. How can we branch to the inside of a loop in C#?
I can think of a number of ways to do that.
First, don't do it. Write your translator so that it detects such situations and brings them to the attention of a human who can analyze the meaning of the code and figure out what was meant by the author of this bad programming practice. Branching into the interior of a loop is illegal in C# because doing so would skip all of the code that is necessary to ensure the correct behaviour of the loop. Odds are good that this pattern indicates a bug or at least some bad smelling code that should be looked at by an expert.
Second, this pattern is not legal in C# or VB.NET, but perhaps it is legal in another useful modern language. You could write your translator to translate to some other language instead of C#.
Third, if you want to do this automatically and you need to use C#, the trick is to change how you generate your loops. Remember, loops are nothing more than a more pleasant way to write a "goto". Suppose your original code looks something like this pseudo-basic fragment:
The "obvious" way to translate this program fragment into C# doesn't work:
int J = 2; if (FOO) goto L50; for(J = 1 ; J <= 10; J = J + 1) { PRINT (J);L50: PRINT ("---"); } PRINT ("Done");
because there's a branch into a block. But you can eliminate the block by recognizing that a "for" loop is just a sugar for "goto". If you translate the loop as:
int J = 2; if (FOO) goto L50; J = 1;L30: if (!(J <= 10)) goto L70; PRINT (j);L50: PRINT ("---"); J = J + 1; goto L30;L70: PRINT ("done");
and now, no problem. There's no block to branch into, so there's no problem with the goto. This code is hard to read so you probably want to detect the situation of branching into a loop and only do the "unsugared" loop when you need to.
It is difficult to do a similar process that allows arbitrary branching in a world with try-finally and other advanced control flow structures, but hopefully you do not need to. Old mainframe languages seldom have complex control flow structures like "try-finally".
So you cant jump to a goto label within a loop from outside the loop? I didnt know this. But whats that piece of code that Reflector happens to show when decompiling a yield return statemachine?
private bool MoveNext()
switch (this.<>1__state)
case 0:
this.<>1__state = -1;
this.<>7__wrap4 = this.<>4__this.GetNodes().GetEnumerator();
this.<>1__state = 1;
while (this.<>7__wrap4.MoveNext())
this.<node>5__3 = this.<>7__wrap4.Current;
this.<>2__current = this.<node>5__3;
this.<>1__state = 2;
return true;
this.<>1__state = 1;
case 2:
goto Label_008C;
return false;
Is it just Reflector making up a while statement while the original il statements just are gotos?
Regards Florian
The discussion is moving a litle away from the first remark about automated migrated code.
Yes excessive and wrong use of Goto is very bad. But looking manual at 10.000.000 lines to remove them is a huge task. Analyzing and refactoring code solves a number of them but still not all.
The IL itself does allow it so why not the compiler. Let the programmer be the judge to use it or not.
In vb.net indead the goto into a for is not allowed but a goto into an if is. And possible other code levels?
Dim j As Integer
j = 1
GoTo l50 ' <---- allowed
If (1 = 1) Then
j = 2
j = 3
End If
GoTo l60 '<----------- not allowed
For j = 1 To 5
I'm suprised that people can be so 'religious' in their renouncing of gotos. I thought kind of singlemindedness was a Java guy's thing.
Yes, most of the time the higher level control flows are better, but there are exeptions.
Take the example of a controlflow schema from Visio. When you want to implement that with functions, you have a problem because after the call ends, you end up where you called the function. That's not what you want, you wanted to go to another Process or Decision. (note the use of the words 'go' and 'to' ;-) In those cases program with Gotos is much more readable than trying to do that with functions.
Also, every function call is a push to the stack, they are not cheap. If you need really fast execution of your code, gotos can actually help you squeeze out that last bit of speed, although this can be at the expense of readabiliy, i'll agree there.
Regards Gert-Jan
> The IL itself does allow it so why not the compiler. Let the programmer be the judge to use it or not.
Because the compiler must enforce a semantic level of meaning on the code so that it can effectively generate IL code that does what you wrote in the higher level language.
Consider the difference between for loops and if-else statements. There is quite a bit of difference in the amount of setup required to make each work.
if-else: No setup required, beyond performing the test condition and branching to the else part. Since there's no setup, it's no problem to goto into either the if-body or else-body.
for loop: At minimum, initializing the loop index and check that it meets the test condition. (foreach is even worse... find the appropriate enumerator, get that all setup, etc., etc...) With all this setup, how do you reasonably do a goto into the body of a for loop AND get provably correct code for EVERY case? Not too likely. (On the other hand, you can goto out of a for loop, because that amounts to little more than a break.)
I meant flowchart from Visio to be precise.
Nothing like stepping on a setjmp / longjump landmine. I've seen some pretty clever exception-like handling built around this construct using C/C++. It drove me nuts till I figured it out. Another developer had called setjmp from main, then whenever his deep library code encountered an error he'd call longjump. The longjump would set the instruction pointer back to the beginning of the program.
What would people say at goto's funeral?
goto's wife: "Oh my sweet goto, I can't loop without you"
goto's kids: "we want our goto back"
goto's 3rd cousins' brother in-laws' 5th pets' owner: "He was pure evil, evil I tell you!"
I would suggest converting the code to MSIL, then decompiling the MSIL into C#. That way you get C# code, but it will still have loops where ever possible.
This code
can write on C# using new bool variable:
j = 2;
bool foo1 = foo;
if (!foo)
j = 1;
for (; j <= 10; j ++)
if (!foo1)
print (j);
foo1 = false;
print ("---");
print ("DONE");
Any code do not repeates twice!
You can use foo instead foo1, when this variable do not required in other code part.
I don't think anyone here fails to realize that all flow-of-control structures end up as GOTO's at a machine level. The point is that the machine can manage the GOTO's, but for humans its like reading a story, telling someone to jump two pages ahead, then jump three pages back. Yeah, you can do it, but geez, does that make it a good idea? Heavens - the computer can count to a zillion in binary, but that doesn't mean its a good idea for human consumption.
That aside, my personal beef isn't with "goto's" per se, but when they are being used in obviously lazy situations when just a few minutes' effort would have created a more streamlined control flow structure. In *most* cases, a GOTO is a hack, an amputation of logic where a few stitches of design and discretion would have avoided an ugly and usually unnecessary scar. I've rarely seen a structure made *more* elegant with a blunt GOTO. But that's just me...
GOTO is all about sequence in the context of state. Code in this form is inimical to parallelisation.
This is easy to automate with functional programming languages, where dependencies on evaluation sequence are necessarily explicit. It is damn near impossible to automate in procedural languages where many dependencies are not only implicit but often indirectly implicit (due to side effects).
When a language requires explicit declaration of dependencies, laziness inhibits their spurious creation. Better quality code results, and it is incidentally more amenable to optimisation for multiple CPUs.
As in life, time is the great enemy.
I think people are confusing GOTO with branching.
GOTO is a programming statement which allows unstructured branching. Other programming statements (if-then, for, while, throw) only allow branching within a particular context or programming structure. Unstructured branching allows you to write incomprehensible code *very* easily. For example (using pseudo-basic)
10 x = 110
20 if ( x is even ) goto 40
30 x = 3 * x + 1
40 x = x / 2
50 if ( x > 10 ) goto 20
60 print x
I mean, never mind what x might be at the end, can we even be sure this will finish for different start values of x?
(Please don't get caught up on this being a mathematical example, BTW. Statements 20 to 50 could be totally non maths related - as long as they interfere with each other you are going to get a problem).
It's very easy with unstructured branching to start getting this sort of effect. Of course, you could use GOTO to duplicate structured branching (like duplicating a while loop), but why do it? It is far nicer when you come to look at your code to know there are *no* GOTOs in it rather than have to analyse whether each individual GOTO is sensible or not.
As to the oft quoted example of error handling in a sequence of method calls, I believe this indicates bad design. First of all I think you need to carefully consider what *is* an error, then isolate your error handling in one group of methods or classes or whatever, so that the rest of your code isn't burdened with constantly having to check whether things are happening ok. i.e., it is better to write:
- than:
if ( method_a_1() == ok )
if ( method_a_2() == ok )
- or some equivalent using gotos.
Where you simply are unable to pre-check for an error (like that nuclear refinery you were monitoring has just gone off-line), you should probably use an excepion and exit (gracefully) until somebody fixes the problem.
for(J = FOO ? 3 : 1; J <= 10; J++)
PRINT (string.Format("{0}\r\n---",J));
PRINT ("Done");
What I was trying to say is that the code should be refactored properly. Using Goto is ugly and difficult to read. Simply check what the code is trying to achieve and find the best way to replicate that functionality.
Which you will note was my first suggestion, yes. But what if you have five hundred thousand lines of goto-ridden mainframe code to translate? "Ugly and difficult to read" is better than "not working", and cheaper and more accurate than "translate five hundred thousand lines of code by hand". -- Eric
Just because the original code uses a Goto, that doesn't mean our new code has to use any at all. We could similarly do this:
int j = FOO ? 3 : 1;while (j<=10) PRINT (string.Format("{0}\r\n---",J++));PRINT ("Done");
Using your human intelligence to create a goto-free program that matches the semantics of one particular code fragment is easy. Writing a program that does that to any arbitrary fragment is rather more difficult, I assure you. -- Eric
(with a lower case j in line 3, obviously)

BRUSSELS, Belgium (AP) -- The European Union says it will consider toughening slaughterhouse rules across the continent to reduce the pain of the killings.
The measures will include improving the efficiency of stunning techniques and appointing animal welfare officials in slaughterhouses.
Every year 360 million pigs, sheep, goats and cattle are killed, in addition to several billion poultry. The measures, presented on Thursday, still have to be approved by the 27 EU member states.
An animal welfare advocate, Eurogroup for Animals, has welcomed the initiative.

Combining power with great elegance, this wine displays superripe, rich fruits that are restrained by velvet tannins and the delicious perfumed character from Cabernet Franc in the blend. Juicy, rich, structured, it's a beautiful wine with a great future. Drink from 2020.— R.V. (6/1/2014)
This extravagantly perfumed wine has great juicy, ripe fruits. The tannic structure is almost secondary in the welter of ripe fruits, but it is enough to promise aging. Acidity and rich fruitiness partner each other to give a wine that is both fresh and powerful. Drink from 2020.— R.V. (6/1/2014)
The perfume on this Pinot Noir is so gorgeous, you're tempted to just smell it. It gives off waves of raspberry Newton cookie, fig, orange zest and vanilla bean, and the flavors are even richer. So much power in such a delicately structured wine, it's a real achievement. The garnet color is as translucent as glass, the acidity is perfect and the alcohol gives the…— S.H. (6/1/2014)
To call this Cabernet huge is an understatement. The tannins are hard and dramatic. As for the fruit, you can hardly find strong enough descriptors. It shows blackberry jam and black currants, cassis liqueur and minerals raised to fabulous mountain concentration. Violets and oak add to the equation. Somehow it all balances out, resulting in a wine of unusual grace…— S.H. (6/1/2014)
It's not just the fruit, which is immaculately ripe in blackberries and black currants. The wine also stands out for the richness of the oak, so perfectly integrated, and the overall balance. Beautiful acidity and thick, rich, supple tannins come along with a gorgeous, long, dry finish. The vineyard is in Yountville. You'll want to cellar this 100% Cab until at…— S.H. (6/1/2014)
This wine has great power along with magnificently rich fruit. Wood aging provides a judicious support to its fullness and opulence. Acidity, black cherries and red berry fruits come together with firm tannins. Combined they are already in balance, but the wine needs to wait. Drink from 2018.— R.V. (6/1/2014)
This most powerful of Grand Cru vineyards has yielded another blockbuster. Even in the 2011 vintage, the wine is a massive statement, packed with rich fruits, dark tannins and layers of blackberry and juicy acidity. The wine has a dry texture, that will soften slowly over many years. Drink from 2019.— R.V. (6/1/2014)
Honoring winemaker Doug Tunnell's mother Evelyn, this reserve bottling is a blend of barrels and clones, and yields the most concentrated of the Brick House 2011 Pinot Noirs. Cherry blossom scents give way to a solidly built wine with firm fruit flavors of plum and boysenberry preserves. A hint of pretty chocolate shines through the extended finish, bolstered with…— P.G.

November 28, 2015
BRICEVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- University of Tennessee archaeologists are discovering the unmarked graves of itinerant miners who died in the 1902 Fraterville mining disaster.
In all, 216 miners, most of them Welch, were killed at the Anderson County coal mine. Twenty-six of them slowly suffocated in barricaded rooms, where several had time to scrawl heart-rending farewell messages.
Some 30 bodies were unclaimed and buried next to a railroad spur -- most in unmarked graves.
Members of the Coal Creek Watershed Foundation learned of the graves in 2000, when the nonprofit was taking shape.
The Knoxville News Sentinel reports that on Friday, archeologists used sophisticated radar to find where the ground had been disturbed. The results will be studied on a computer.
Meanwhile, the foundation has erected a commemorative marker.

IntriCon Reports 2013 Third-Quarter Results Hearing Health Up over Prior Year; Medical Business Rebounding with Large Customer FDA Approval; Company Anticipates Profitability from Continuing Operations in Fourth Quarter Business Wire ARDEN HILLS, Minn. -- November 14, 2013 IntriCon Corporation (NASDAQ:IIN), a designer, developer, manufacturer and distributor of miniature and micro-miniature body-worn devices, today announced financial results for its third quarter ended September 30, 2013. For the 2013 third quarter, the company reported net sales of $12.3 million, versus $13.8 million in the prior-year period. IntriCon had a net loss of $(825,000), or $(0.14) per diluted share, compared to net income of $217,000, or $0.04 per diluted share, for the 2012 third quarter. Net loss from continuing operations was $(432,000), or $(0.08) per diluted share, in the 2013 third quarter; results from discontinued operations include a net loss of $(393,000), or $(0.07) per diluted share, for the 2013 third quarter. As part of IntriCon's global strategic restructuring plan announced in June 2013, the company's Maine operations, which include IntriCon's security, certain microphone and receivers businesses, as well as certain Singapore assets, are now held for sale and classified as discontinued operations. As previously outlined, the restructuring program was designed to accelerate the company's future growth by focusing resources on the highest potential growth areas and drive cost reductions in both continuing and discontinued operations. The program resulted in approximately $400,000 of net cost savings in the 2013 third quarter, and IntriCon expects to achieve $3.0 million in annual cost savings by early 2014. "With our restructuring plan in place, we're seeing encouraging signs across our business," said Mark S. Gorder, president and chief executive officer of IntriCon. "Sequentially, sales and gross profit margins are up, and we're starting to see a rebound in our medical business with Medtronic's recent FDA approval for its MiniMed 530G insulin pump system. We believe that we'll be able to achieve profitability from continuing operations in the 2013 fourth quarter." As a percentage of total third-quarter sales, medical stood at 44.2 percent, with hearing health and professional audio at 40.4 percent and 15.4 percent, respectively. This compares to 40.0 percent, 33.0 percent and 27.0 percent for medical, hearing health and professional audio, respectively, in 2012. Gross profit margins decreased to 21.9 percent from 23.4 percent for the prior-year three month period. The decrease was primarily due to lower overall sales volume, partially offset by cost reductions from our global restructuring plan. Sequentially, however, 2013 third-quarter margins rose significantly from 16.2 percent in the 2013 second quarter; the gain was chiefly driven by increased volume and restructuring benefits. Operating expenses for the 2013 third quarter of $2.8 million decreased $450,000 from the prior-year three-month period and declined $714,000 sequentially from the 2013 second quarter. The primary drivers were one-time research and development tax credit refunds of $570,000 and the impact from the restructuring program. Nine-Month Results For the 2013 nine months, IntriCon reported net sales of $37.9 million and a net loss of $(4.7) million, or $(0.83) per diluted share. This compares to 2012 nine-month net sales of $44.1 million and net income of $377,000, or $0.07 per diluted share. The 2013 nine-month net loss from continuing operations was $(2.4) million, or $(0.43) per diluted share, with a discontinued operations net loss of $(2.3) million, or $(0.41) per diluted share. Included in the $(2.3) million net loss from discontinued operations for the 2013 nine months was approximately $(1.0) million, or $(0.18) per diluted share, of one-time, non-cash charges related to restructuring initiatives. As a percentage of total sales, medical stood at 46.0 percent, with hearing health and professional audio at 40.1 percent and 13.9 percent, respectively, for the nine-month period. This compares to 40.4 percent, 41.5 percent and 18.1 percent for medical, hearing health and professional audio, respectively, in 2012. Gross profit margins decreased to 22.0 percent from 25.6 percent for the prior-year nine months. Again, the decrease was primarily due to lower overall sales volume. With increased sales volumes anticipated and its restructuring plan in place, the company expects continued sequential margin improvement in the fourth quarter. Business Update Sales in IntriCon's medical business were flat in the 2013 third quarter compared to the year-ago period. However, sales increased 11.5 percent sequentially from the 2013 second quarter. In late September, IntriCon's customer Medtronic received FDA approval for their MiniMed 530G insulin pump. With the approval, IntriCon expects medical sales to strengthen in the fourth quarter and into 2014 as Medtronic ramps its launch of the MiniMed 530G. Within cardiac, IntriCon delivered initial orders of its wireless cardiac diagnostic monitor (CDM) Sirona™ in the third quarter. Additionally, the company continued expanding its CDM sales and marketing infrastructure to further advance IntriCon's cardiac program—and during the third quarter secured another customer contract for the Sirona device. Hearing health sales rose 9.3 percent over the prior-year quarter primarily due to demand for the company's personal sound amplifier products (PSAPs) and growth in hi HealthInnovations sales. With high device costs and distribution inconveniences persisting in the conventional hearing health channel, IntriCon sees opportunities in alternative care models such as the insurance channel and the PSAP market. To capitalize on these opportunities, the company is concentrating its efforts in the value hearing aid (VHA) space and aggressively pursuing larger customers. During the third quarter, IntriCon hired an industry veteran to spearhead this initiative and began investing in its related branding strategy. Within its hi HealthInnovations business, the company saw a modest increase in orders over the prior-year third quarter. As hi HealthInnovations further builds out its infrastructure, IntriCon anticipates orders to slowly build in the fourth quarter and into 2014. Professional audio sales declined 49.4 percent from the prior-year period. The decrease was due to several factors, including: conclusion of the company's Singapore Government contract in December 2012; the strategic decision to rationalize select non-core professional audio communications product lines; the U.S. Government sequestration; and disruption associated with the federal government shutdown. As previously disclosed, the company has classified portions of its professional audio communication business as discontinued. IntriCon will continue to leverage its core technology in professional audio to support existing customers, as well as pursue related hearing health and medical product opportunities. The company's existing credit facility with The PrivateBank and Trust Company expires on August 13, 2014, and all outstanding borrowings will become due and payable. As a result, all of the borrowings under this facility have been classified as current liabilities on IntriCon's balance sheet. IntriCon is currently working with The PrivateBank and Trust Company to enter into a long-term agreement that will provide financial flexibility and strengthen the company in both the short- and long-term. IntriCon expects to have this long-term agreement in place during the first quarter of 2014. Looking Ahead Concluded Gorder, "I am very encouraged with the progress we have made over the last quarter. As outlined in our strategic restructuring plan, we have positioned the company to aggressively drive our two largest growth opportunities: medical biotelemetry and value hearing health. We expect these to continue to strengthen in the fourth quarter, and we're optimistic that we can achieve profitability from continuing operations by year end." Conference Call Today As previously announced, the company will hold an investment community conference call today, Thursday, Nov. 14, 2013, beginning at 4:00 p.m. CT. Mark Gorder, president and chief executive officer, and Scott Longval, chief financial officer, will review third-quarter performance and discuss the company's strategies.

Could You See Matthew McConaughey as Magnum?
Like us on Facebook
According to EW, Matthew McConaughey has been offered the role of Thomas Magnum in a film version of the 1980s hit show. He's reportedly reading the script now and will make a decision soon.
Made iconic by the mustached Tom Selleck, Magnum is many things: a ladies' man, a former US Navy Seal who served during the Vietnam War, a best friend, a thorn in Higgins' side. Most of all, Magnum is not afraid to tango with the bad guys of Hawaii and drives a Ferrari.
What do you think about this casting possibility? Could McConaughey embody the Magnum?

I know this is an old post but I just started re-watching all the magnums on Netflix. I've never really liked MM to be honest. He's always come off as an arrogant doosh. I can't imagine the producers of any Magnum movie would want him to be the self effacing character we all love. Definitely not right for the role. No way Mcconnawhater.
vertes 5 years
Selleck will always be Magnum to me, but he's also now Jesse Stone & has a new cop series starting. MM can do young(ish) Magnum - he's cocky, physical, a little bad-ass, but has to develop a better grin. TS has super charm with a touch of humility. MM always has a little smirk. Let's see if he can act less-than-super-smug.

I grew up watching Magnum P.I. I had a terrible crush on Tom Selleck and all these years later I still have a crush on him. If he is in it I'm sure to watch it. I'd really like to see what Magnum and T.C. and Rick are up to these days. Magnum's daughter would no doubt be grown by now. I'm sure that would be very interesting. My vote is for Tom Selleck to Play Thomas Sullivan Magnum, if they are going to make a movie. My hopes are that they don't ruin it like they did the "Starsky and Hutch" show.

Hell NO! Magnum PI has and always will be Tom Selleck!!!!!!!!!!!!! Why does Hollywood feel the need to make a theatrical version of a great TV show? Leave it alone. You already ruined The Dukes of Hazzard. If McConaughey needs a role, let him create something new.

certain things about mcconaughey absolutely--the charm, hotness, etc. but he often plays such dopey mindless characters...not that magnum was exactly a rocket scientist. could be fun!
Red77 7 years
I can see it because he has the charisma and attitude to back to sustain the roll. I loved that show, my mom loved that show and her mom loved that show. You need a man who women from multiple generations all agree is swoon worthy and MM is perfect. Was that the epitomy of laziness that I did not spell out his name? I vote yes for MM.
girlie871 7 years
I can keep an open mind and MMisn't a bad choise vut I think I would like to see some other options of actors to play the role. Maybe the script has changed the Magnum character a bit to be more Mathew McConaughey-esque

NNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Magnum is Tom Selleck and Tom Selleck is Magnum! No one could work a pair of short tennis shorts like Tom Selleck! I don't care how old Tom Selleck is, he can put his shoes under my bed any time! ;) Stay away from this role! Now I need to go take a cold shower.

If you haven't downloaded one of my ebooks before, please do check out FAQ for more info.
What people are saying:
There was the nice blend of humor along with the little nuggets of ukulele knowledge that I have come to expect from your books. The bits of history thrown in were great. We've been very underexposed over here to the history/National Anthems/idea that we're not the only people on the planet. As a homeschooling mom, who fights against this very kind of ignorance and who teaches her kids to play the uke, this collection is something I will make use of.
I was able to play through 5 of the anthems last night without much difficulty, and felt quite confident I would be able to get to where I needed to be with these songs with just a little effort.

Feverish illness in children: assessment and initial management in children younger than 5 years
National Institute for Health and Care Excellence
Key priorities for implementation
- The following recommendations have been identified as priorities for implementation
Thermometers and the detection of fever
- In children aged 4 weeks to 5 years, measure body temperature by one of the following methods:
- electronic thermometer in the axilla
- chemical dot thermometer in the axilla
- infra-red tympanic thermometer
- Reported parental perception of a fever should be considered valid and taken seriously by healthcare professionals
Clinical assessment of the child with fever
- Assess children with feverish illness for the presence or absence of symptoms and signs that can be used to predict the risk of serious illness using the traffic light system (see table 1, right)
- Measure and record temperature, heart rate, respiratory rate and capillary refill time as part of the routine assessment of a child with fever
- Recognise that children with tachycardia are in at least an intermediate-risk group for serious illness. Use the Advanced Paediatric Life Support (APLS)* criteria below to define tachycardia:
|Heart rate (bpm)
|< 12 months
|12–24 months
|2–5 years
Management by remote assessment
- Children with any 'red' features but who are not considered to have an immediately life threatening illness should be urgently assessed by a healthcare professional in a face-to-face setting within 2 hours
Management by the non-paediatric practitioner
- If any 'amber' features are present and no diagnosis has been reached, provide parents or carers with a 'safety net' or refer to specialist paediatric care for further assessment. The safety net should be one or more of the following:
- providing the parent or carer with verbal and/or written information on warning symptoms and how further healthcare can be accessed (see When to seek further help, below)
- arranging further follow-up at a specified time and place
- liaising with other healthcare professionals, including out-of-hours providers, to ensure direct access for the child if further assessment is required
Management by the paediatric specialist
- Perform the following investigations in infants younger than 3 months with fever:
- full blood count
- blood culture
- C-reactive protein
- urine testing for urinary tract infection†
- chest X-ray only if respiratory signs are present
- stool culture, if diarrhoea is present
Table 1: Traffic light system for identifying risk of serious illness
Children with fever and any of the symptoms or signs in the red column should be recognised as being at high risk. Similarly, children with fever and any of the symptoms or signs in the amber column and none in the red column should be recognised as being at intermediate risk. Children with symptoms and signs in the green column and none in the amber or red columns are at low risk. The management of children with fever should be directed by the level of risk. This traffic light table should be used in conjunction with the recommendations in this guideline on investigations and initial management in children with fever.
|Green–low risk
|Amber–intermediate risk
|Red–high risk
|Color (of skin, lips or tongue)
|Circulation and hydration
Summary table for symptoms and signs suggestive of specific diseases
|Diagnosis to be considered
|Symptoms and signs in conjunction with fever
|Meningococcal disease
|Bacterial meningitis
|Herpes simplex encephalitis
|Urinary tract infection
|Septic arthritis
|Kawasaki disease
Antipyretic interventions
- Antipyretic agents do not prevent febrile convulsions and should not be used specifically for this purpose
- When using paracetamol or ibuprofen in children with fever:
- continue only as long as the child appears distressed
- consider changing to the other agent if the child's distress is not alleviated
- do not give both agents simultaneously
- only consider alternating these agents if the distress persists or recurs before the next dose is due
Advice for home care
- Care at home:
- advise parents or carers to manage their child's temperature
- advise parents or carers looking after a feverish child at home:
- to offer the child regular fluids (where a baby or child is breastfed the most appropriate fluid is breast milk)
- how to detect signs of dehydration by looking for the following features:
- sunken fontanelle
- dry mouth
- sunken eyes
- absence of tears
- poor overall appearance
- to encourage their child to drink more fluids and consider seeking further advice if they detect signs of dehydration
- how to identify a non-blanching rash
- to check their child during the night
- to keep their child away from nursery or school while the child's fever persists but to notify the school or nursery of the illness
- When to seek further help:
- following contact with a healthcare professional, parents and carers who are looking after their feverish child at home should seek further advice if:
- the child has a fit
- the child develops a non-blanching rash
- the parent or carer feels that the child is less well than when they previously sought advice
- the parent or carer is more worried than when they previously sought advice
- the fever lasts longer than 5 days
- the parent or carer is distressed, or concerned that they are unable to look after their child
- following contact with a healthcare professional, parents and carers who are looking after their feverish child at home should seek further advice if:

Comparing six DE methods on a 4 vs 4 comparison. One hundred random comparisons of four B6 and four D2 mouse striatum samples for six DE methods. Average TP and FP are calculated for the full range of p-value cut-offs. The TPR and FPR are plotted against each other in a) to form ROC curves and displayed in the region for FPR less than 0.01 as this is most relevant for calling DE. For any given FPR a method with a larger TPR is deemed to have ranked the genes better. In b) the number of TP (in bold) and FP are plotted for a range of p-value cut-offs. The x-axis is in log-scale. The grey dashed vertical line corresponds to a Bonferroni adjusted cut-off of 0.05.

Mauritania's Abdel Aziz re-electedComment on this story
Nouakchott - Mauritanian President Mohamed Ould Abdel Aziz has won another five-year term with 82 percent of the vote, officials said on Sunday, after an election boycotted by most of the opposition.
Abdel Aziz, an ally of Western powers in the fight against al-Qaeda-linked Islamists in West Africa, faced no major challenger to his rule in Saturday's election in his vast desert nation, which straddles black and Arab Africa.
Opposition parties also boycotted last year's parliamentary elections, saying the organisers were biased and the process flawed. Talks to persuade them to take part in Saturday's presidential election broke down in April.
Abdel Aziz's closest rival, anti-slavery campaigner Biram Ould Dah Ould Abeid, came in a distant second with nine percent of the vote, the head of the national election commission, Abdellahi Ould Soueid Ahmed, told a news conference.
Turnout was 56 percent, Soueid Ahmed said.
Abdel Aziz came to power in an army coup in 2008 and won a contested election the following year.
African Union election observers said Saturday's vote took place in a climate of relative peace and tolerance. The 46-member mission urged the government and the opposition to continue political dialogue after the election.
"We are appealing for a sense of responsibility from all political actors to preserve the peace which prevailed during the election," former Tunisian prime minister Beiji Caid Essebsi, the head of the mission, told a news conference. - Reuters
