Managerial accounting In 2010 developer Bruce Becker (SOM '85) completed 360 State Street, a major new construction project in downtown New Haven.

39 I have a query about one of the details in the book. You mention that perihepatitis is a feature of gonorrhoeal infection, but other books say that perihepatitis (Fitz-Hugh-Curtis syndrome) is a complication of chlamydial infections. Is there a possibility of perihepatitis in gonorrhoea? Thank you.

40 In the 7th edition of Kumar and Clark Clinical Medicine, you indicate that there is no benefit in treating the male partner of a woman diagnosed with bacterial vaginosis (BV).
