Edgar Guest with Jack White and Thomas Conroy
No full text''Guest (C) is welcomed to San Antonio by White (L) and Conroy (R). His schedule includes an all-city chamber of commerce meeting, Edgar Guest Day and an autograph party at Joske's of Texas. He will also judge entries in the chamber's poetry contest. Born in Birmingham, England in 1881, Guest came to America when he was 9 years old. He has written approximately 14,000 poems during 46 years of verse writing.'
Other Voices piece by Thomas C. Ewell, executive director of the Maine Council
No full textOther Voices piece by Thomas C. Ewell, executive director of the Maine Council of Churches, on the Maine Outdoor Heritage Game. The spring 1996 Maine Audubon Society magazine Habitat implies that the game is the revenue of choice for the environmental movement. The author says environmentalists should not brag about relying upon gambling to save the state\u27s precious natural resources
An open reply to "What is going on at the Library of Congress?" by Thomas Mann
No full textThis is an open response to a report by Thomas Mann at the Library of Congress concerning changes in cataloging. The author contends that, although the current changes at the Library of Congress are suspect, changes are imminent and experienced catalogers must offer positive suggestions for change, otherwise they will be ignored by management

Influence of IL-10RA and IL-22 polymorphisms on outcome of hepatitis C virus infection.
No full textBACKGROUND: Two receptor chains, IL-10RA and IL-10RB, are known to mediate the functions of interleukin-10 (IL-10), which has been shown to be involved in the progression of persistent hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. Little information is available on the role of host genetic variation in IL-10 receptor genes and outcome of HCV infection. IL-22, an IL-10 homologue, shares the IL-10RB receptor chain with IL-10 and has antiviral properties. We investigated the possible role of polymorphisms in the IL-10RA and IL-22 genes in hepatitis C disease pathogenesis. METHODS: This study population consisted of 631 HCV patients, recruited from several hepatology clinics across Europe. We genotyped four single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the IL-10RA and six SNPs in the IL-22 gene by ligation detection reaction or restriction fragment length polymorphism. Outcome of HCV infection was assessed according to viral clearance, treatment response, severity of fibrosis and overall inflammation. CONCLUSIONS: Variation in IL-10RA appeared to be correlated with response to treatment and inflammation. Two SNPs in IL-22 affected treatment response and viral clearance respectively. We furthermore report on allele and haplotype frequencies and linkage disequilibrium for IL-10RA and IL-22. Our results indicate that genetic variation in these genes may play a modulatory role in the outcome of hepatitis C infection

The challenges of using the Hospital Frailty Risk Score – Author's reply
No full textWe thank John Soong and colleagues, Sandra M Shi and Dae H Kim, and Rónán O'Caoimh and colleagues for their careful consideration of our Article.
We note some concerns about the clinical utility of our scoring method; our approach is to position the Hospital Frailty Risk Score (HFRS) as a tool that can be implemented without the need for additional assessment or data collection, and direct high-risk individuals towards frailty-attuned interventions, such as the Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment (CGA).1 We acknowledge that the HFRS can only be generated after an initial admission, so risk stratification information would not be possible at first presentation. Two-thirds of people aged 75 years or older access acute-care hospitals more than once over a 2-year period, and those patients who have not previously accessed hospital care are typically at low risk of hospital-related adverse outcomes; thus, we view the HFRS as being especially useful to identify individuals at the highest risk of hospital-related harm and resource use. We accept that manual scales, such as the Clinical Frailty Scale,2 could be used, but the HFRS has the advantage of being automated and capturing all patients, not just a selected sample
The Gospel of Thomas and the earliest texts of the synoptic gospels
No full textResearch on the Gospel of Thomas in the last quarter of a
century has made it clear that the origins of this apocryphal gospel
cannot
be
satisfactorily explained from a single point of view. The
author thus suggests that Thomas
be
understood as a growing collection
of sayings which originated in various places and languages, with some
logia being added to the collection after its inception. While this
suggestion is by no means new, there have been few extensive attempts
to study Thomas from such a presupposition.
Due to the need for a control group, only the logia which have
rather close parallels to the Synoptic gospels are investigated. Verbal and textual affinities are noted between these logia and the earliest texts of the Gospels (the Coptic versions, the Diatessaron, the
Old Syriac version, and other early versions and Christian writings).
Various degrees of probable contact between each logion and these
texts are assigned.
The results of this study give some idea as to the place of
origin, the original language, and the approximate date at which certain logia were added to the collection. Those sayings which show a
closer affinity to the Diatessaron, the Old Syriac version, or other
Syrian writings may
be
considered as having been added to the sayings
collection as it circulated in its earliest form, possibly in a Semitic language. Other logia which show no signs of awareness of a
Syrian reading, but which are similar to variants found in the Coptic
versions or other Egyptian texts, may well have originated in Egypt
and been added to the collection at a later stage. These results,
however, must await verification by those who might approach Thomas
from related, but different, perspectives
