    No full text
    Two Serbian texts extol the contribution of Dimitrios Tsamis Karatasos to the Balkan joint effort to throw off the Ottoman yoke. These texts are analysed by the author within the historical framework of their period, so that the man’s personality and work may be accurately evaluated from a fresh viewpoint. More specifically, the author conducts a research on the tombstone of Dimitrios Tsamis Karatasos, which he discovered himself at Naoussa, and the octet engraved on it, which is also published here. The work is illustrated by seven plates, of which four have not been published previously

    Are Extensive Open Lung Resections for Elderly Patients with Lung Cancer Justified?

    No full text
    Background: Older patients with malignancies are more comorbid than younger ones and are usually undertreated only because of their age. The aim of this study is to investigate the safety of open anatomical lung resections for lung cancer in elderly patients. Methods: We retrospectively analyzed all patients who underwent lung resection for lung cancer in our institution and categorized them into two groups: the elderly group (≥70 years old) and the control (p = 0.037), higher differentiated tumors (12.6% vs. 6.4%, p = 0.014), and at an earlier stage (stage I: 55.6% for elderly vs. 36.6%, p = 0.002). Elderly patients were more vulnerable to postoperative pneumonia (3.7% vs. 0.8%, p = 0.034), lung atelectasis (7.4% vs. 2.9%, p = 0.040), and pleural empyema (3.2% vs. 0%, p = 0.042), however, with no increased 30-day-mortality (5.2% for elderly vs. 2.7%, p = 0.168). Survival was comparable in both groups (43.4 vs. 45.3 months, p = 0.579). Conclusions: Elderly patients should not be excluded from open major lung resections as the survival benefit is not reduced in selected patients

    The Exemplary Life of Dimitrios Vikelas (1835-1908)

    No full text
    This paper describes the "satisfying curve" of Dimitrios Vikelas' life journey, starting from Syros in 1835, moving via Constantinople, Odessa, and Syros again, to London, Paris and finally Athens. It explores Vikelas' multiple aspects, as merchant, writer, traveller, lecturer and essayist, Olympic founder, educationalist, book collector and philanthropist, all of which were united in the public-spirited man of letters (logios). It sets Vikelas in the context of the Greek commercial diaspora, the world of the London expatriate Greek community, and the dynamic society of late nineteenth-century Athens, beginning in the 1870s to act as a magnet to Greek expatriates. The author stresses two qualities of Vikelas: his belief in the idea of a progressive Greek state marked by advances in education, culture, tourism and standards of public life; and the self-awareness and experience which inform his autobiographical writings, not only his memoir My Life but also his last such work, The War of 1897

    IN A PROSPECTIVE CONTROLLED TRIAL BASED ON CLINICAL AND LABORATORY DATE, 510 PTS OF THE THIRD AGE WERE STUDIED AS WELL AS 60 PTS AGED 40-60 AS A CONTROL GROUP. THE PREOPERATIVE AND INTRA- POSTOPERATIVE PROBLEMS WERE RECORDED AND STORED AND PROCESSED BY COMPUTER. THE MAIN RESULTS ARE: -1/2 - 1/3 OF THE DRUGS USED INTHE ELDERLY SURGICAL PTS ARE IRRELEVANT. A POSITIVE CORRELATION EXIST BETWEEN THE PREOPERATIVE PROBLEM AND THE POST-OPERATIVE MORBIDITY (23%) AND MORTALITY (10,2%). THE HOSPITAL STAY IS STATISTICAL INCREASED IN THE THIRD AGE. ONE OUT OFTHREE ELDERLY UNDERGOES SURGERY URGENTLY AND THE MAIN INDICATION ARE BILIARY TREE DISEASES FOLLOWED BY HERNIAR AND V.G.I. INTRAABDOMINAL SEPIN IN THE MAIN COURSE OF DEATH, THE MOST SUFFERING ORGANS ARE THE RESPIRATORY SYSTEM AND THE KIDNEYS. ONE OUT OF TEN WILL DIE IN THE FIRST 30 DAYS FOLLOWING OPERATION, 1:10 REQUIRES I.C.V., AND 1:10 LEAVES THE HOSPITAL WITH SOME DEGREE OF DISABILITY. THEPROFILACTIN ANTIBIOTICS REDUCE THE INCIDENCE OF INFECTION. THE SURGICAL SKILNESS AND EXPERIENCE DON'T INFLUENCE THE MORTALITY. THE URGENT SURGERY, THE WRONG INITIAL DIAGNOSIS AND THE MALIGNANCY INCREASE THE MORBIDITY AND MORTALITY. THERE IS NO CONTRAINDUATION IN PERFORM SURGERY IN THE THIRD AGE.ΜΕ ΠΡΟΟΠΤΙΚΗ ΕΛΕΓΧΟΜΕΝΗ ΜΕΘΟΔΟ ΜΕΛΕΤΗΘΗΚΑΝ 510 ΑΣΘΕΝΕΙΣ 3ΗΣ ( > 65 ΧΡ.) ΗΛΙΚΙΑΣΚΑΙ 60 ΑΣΘΕΝΕΙΣ (40-60 ΧΡ.)
