Interobserver variability in the characterization of giant intracranial aneurysms with special emphasis on aneurysm diameter and shape
No full textThe Giant Intracranial Aneurysm Registry is a multicenter observational trial exclusively focusing on giant intracranial aneurysms (GIA). As no data exist on the interobserver variability in the radiological description of GIA, there is some uncertainty concerning the reliability of the GIA characteristics included in the registry. We have therefore designed a study to test the interobserver variability in the description of the specific GIA characteristics that are examined in the GIA registry. Six different raters analyzed imaging of five GIA concerning GIA location, GIA size, GIA shape, GIA thrombosis, and the presence of perianeurysmal edema. Interobserver variability was examined using intraclass correlation and Fleiss' kappa analysis. The intraclass correlation coefficient was 0.99 (95 % CI 0.97-1.0) for the largest GIA diameter and 0.98 (95 % CI 0.94-1.0) for the largest GIA diameter in an axial imaging slice. We found perfect interobserver agreement (Fleiss' kappa 1.00) in the characterization of GIA location and the presence of perianeurysmal edema and almost perfect interobserver agreement for GIA thrombosis (Fleiss' kappa 0.86, 95 % CI 0.63-1.00). Only moderate interobserver agreement was found in the description of GIA shape (Fleiss' kappa 0.50, 95 % CI 0.27-0.73). While GIA size, location, thrombosis, and the presence of perianeurysmal edema showed excellent interobserver agreement, the description of GIA shape was achieved with only moderate agreement. Data on GIA shape in multicenter studies, like the GIA registry, should therefore be discussed with caution and potentially reassessed in a centralized fashion.Center for Stroke Research - Berli
Changes in volume of giant intracranial aneurysms treated by surgical strategies other than direct clipping
No full textGiant intracranial aneurysms (GIA) are often not eligible for direct clip occlusion. Surgical alternatives include partial clip occlusion or the placement of a cerebrovascular bypass or the combination of both. These alternative indirect strategies are expected to lead to a decrease in GIA volume over time rather than instantaneously. To examine whether this is the case, we analyzed follow-up imaging results 1 year after surgery. We retrospectively screened the prospective GIA Registry's imaging database for anterior circulation GIA treated by surgical strategies other than direct clipping. We measured pre- and 1-year post-treatment GIA volume, lateral ventricle volume (LVV), and mid-line shift (MLS) in 19 cases. After a mean follow-up of 466 days (standard deviation +/- 171) GIA volumes decreased from 9.6 cm(3) (interquartile range (IQR) 6.1-14.1) to 4.3 cm(3) (IQR 2.9-5.7; p < 0.01). Ipsilateral LVV increased from 8.6 cm(3) (IQR 6.4-24.9) to 16.0 cm(3) (IQR 9.1-27.2; p < 0.01) while contralateral LVV increased from 10.3 cm(3) (IQR 7.3-20.1) to 11.7 cm(3) (IQR 8.2-19.4; p = 0.02). MLS changed from 0.1 mm (IQR -1.9 to 2.0) to -0.9 mm (IQR -1.8 to 0.4; p = 0.03). The decrease in GIA volume correlated with the increase in ipsilateral LVV (r(s) = 0.60; p = 0.01) but not with the changes in MLS (r(s) = 0.41; p = 0.08). In our patient cohort, surgical strategies other that direct clipping for the treatment of anterior circulation GIA lead to a significant decrease in GIA volume over time. The resulting decrease in mass effect was more sensitively monitored by the measurement of changes in ipsilateral LVV than changes in MLS.Center for Stroke Research - Berli
Creative Disobedience: Dorothee Sölle\u27s Political Theology and Ethics for U.S. Christian Contexts
No full textThis dissertation adapts Dorothee Sölle’s concept of creative disobedience to account for those histories of obedience to structures of domination and to foster moral agency that disrupts and dismantles structures of domination. The first two chapters contextualize and summarize Dorothee Sölle’s critique of obedience and her warning against the way in which the obedient social character yields a “Christofascist” society. Chapter II considers the extent to which Christofascism already exists in US society today through Andrew L. Whitehead and Samuel L. Perry’s study of the political and cultural prevalence of Christian nationalism. Chapter III contextualizes Dorothee Sölle’s theoretical critique of obedience through Erich Fromm’s concept of social character, Pierre Bourdieu’s concept of habitus and Elisabeth Schüssler Fiorenza’s concept of kyriocentrism. In Chapter III, the author shows how histories and structures forming US white-Christian social character--white supremacy, coloniality and kyriarchy--require white-Christian obedience to the same Christian nationalist structures of power, boundaries and order. Chapter IV summarizes Sölle’s feminist theology which argues that creative disobedience is necessary for Christian moral agency. Finally, Chapter V adapts Sölle’s creative disobedience as an ethical process for progressive white-Christians in the US today. This chapter explains how moral agency defined by creative disobedience would foster habits and practices that lead to effective participation in political transformation, rather than reinforcing relationships and structures of domination
Deixis: Textdeixis
No full textGerman language is characterized by a frequent use of deictic expressions. Those expressions are used in different types of communicative settings. They also include the text, which may be conceptualized on the one hand as a space and on the other hand as a chronological arrangement of actions. Textdeictic devices belong to the strategies of reader orientation. They are usually embedded in comments of the author on textual organization and include different types of deictic (or paradeictic) expressions, such as demonstrative pronouns and adverbs.Die deutsche Sprache zeichnet sich durch einen reichen Strukturausbau in Hinblick auf den Bestand an deiktischen und deiktisch abgeleiteten Ausdrucksmitteln aus (Ehlich z.B. 2007c, Redder 2010a). Ausdrücke wie dieser, hier und jetzt gehören zum Kernbestand dieses deiktischen Inventars. Sie können auf unterschiedliche Verweisräume Bezug nehmen: Wahrnehmungsraum, Vorstellungsraum, Wissensraum, Diskursraum, Rederaum, Textraum (Redder 2000, Ehlich 1976). Auf den Textraum können sich ebenfalls Ausdrücke beziehen, die nicht im engeren Sinne als Verweisausdrücke gelten, im Textzusammenhang aber deiktisch funktionalisiert werden können (wie etwa zuvor oder eingangs). Auch Partizipien (wie anschließend) oder Nominalgruppen (wie zum Abschluss, im Folgenden) werden textdeiktisch verwendet ebenso wie zusammengesetzte, deiktisch abgeleitete Ausdrücke (wie danach, hiermit, sodann), die auch in Kombination mit Präpositionalphrasen vorkommen (im Anschluss daran) und zum Teil eine konnektive Funktion ausüben (Redder 2010b). Der Beitrag enthält neben einer Bestandsaufnahme der Behandlung textdeiktischer Phänomene in Übungsgrammatiken Anaysen zu ausgewählten Beispielen - auch in Hinblick auf den Einsatz in der Didaktik
