On lie detection "wizards".

M. O'Sullivan and P. Ekman (2004) claim to have discovered 29 wizards of deception detection. The present commentary offers a statistical critique of the evidence for this claim. Analyses reveal that chance can explain results that the authors attribute to wizardry. Thus, by the usual statistical logic of psychological research, O'Sullivan and Ekman's claims about wizardry are gratuitous. Even so, there may be individuals whose wizardry remains to be uncovered. Thus, the commentary outlines forms of evidence that are (and are not) capable of diagnosing lie detection wizardry.

Prenatal diagnosis of a fetal intracranial tumor.

INTRODUCTION: The commonest fetal intracranial tumor is the teratoma. The prognosis is poor with death usually occurring shortly after birth. Modern high resolution ultrasound scanners facilitate examination of the cranial contents, allowing earlier diagnosis. CASE REPORT: A fetus with a congenital intracranial teratoma presenting with a disproportionately enlarged head at 36 weeks' gestation is presented. The infant died of respiratory failure within 24 h of birth. On postmortem examination the histologic report revealed an immature teratoma. This article describes the prenatal sonographic diagnosis of a rare case of intracranial immature teratoma in a fetus at 36 weeks' gestation.
