    Defining higher-risk surgery

    PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Defining the contemporary high-risk noncardiac surgical population using objective clinical outcomes data is paramount for the rational allocation of healthcare resources, truly informed patient consent and improving patient-centered outcomes.RECENT FINDINGS: Data from independent healthcare systems have identified that the development, and consequences, of postoperative morbidity extend beyond the immediate postoperative hospital period and confer substantially increased risk of death. Cardiac insufficiency, rather than the relatively heavily explored paradigm of perioperative cardiac ischemia, is emerging as the dominant factor associated with excess risk of prolonged postoperative morbidity. The development of prospective, validated, time-sensitive morbidity data collection tools has also helped define patients at higher risk of noncardiac morbidities and short-term perioperative outcomes.SUMMARY: Higher risk surgical patients present an increasingly major challenge for healthcare resource utilization. Detailed outcome studies using validated morbidity tools are urgently required to establish the extent to which postoperative morbidity may be predicted. Robust identification of patients at the highest risk of perioperative morbidity may permit further clinic-to-bench translational understanding of the pathophysiologic mechanisms underlying postoperative organ dysfunction. Defining the high-risk surgical patient population is as critically important for global public health planning as it is for the perioperative team.<br/

    Functional Movement Disorder as a Prodromal Symptom of Parkinson's Disease-Clinical and Pathophysiological Insights

    Full text link
    Functional movement disorder (FMD) is a common manifestation of functional neurological disorder. FMD can occur alongside other neurological conditions, but especially in patients with established Parkinson's disease (PD). An interesting observation emerging across cohort studies and case series is that FMD can precede the diagnosis of PD, suggesting that FMD may itself be a prodromal symptom of neurodegeneration. Such a notion would have significant clinical implications for the assessment and management of people with FMD, particularly with respect to decisions around the use of auxiliary investigations, counselling, and follow-up. In this Viewpoint we review the evidence concerning the temporal relationship between FMD and PD. We discuss the potential explanations and mechanisms for FMD as a prodromal symptom of PD, and highlight clinical considerations and important outstanding questions in the field.

    The Art of Love and Love of Art in Longus

    Dans les Pastotrales qu'on attribue à Longus, les hommes se montrent plus puissants que les dieux, et les amants se trouvent plus sages que les sophistes. Daphnis, poète et rustique amoureux, ne souffre les calamités ni de Philétas, l'artiste sans passion, ni de Pan, le ravisseur sans finesse. Mais que faut-il donc dire de l'auteur lui-même, qui n'oserait jamais faire partie du monde qu'il a créé ?Edwards Mark J. The Art of Love and Love of Art in Longus.

    Divine perfection and human potentiality: trinitarian anthropology in Hilary of Poitiers' De Trinitate

    Full text link
    No figure of fourth-century Christianity seems to be at once so well known and so clouded in mystery as Hilary of Poitiers. His work as an historian provides invaluable knowledge of the mid-fourth century, and he was praised as a theologian throughout late antiquity. Today, however, discussions of his theology are founded upon less solid ground. This is largely due to methodological issues. Modern scholarship has often read Hilary through anachronistic historical and theological categories which have rendered his thought incomprehensible. Recent scholars have sought to overcome this and to reexamine Hilary within his own historical, polemical, and theological context. Much remains to be said, however, in regard to Hilary's actual theological contribution within these contextual parameters. This thesis contends that in all of Hilary's polemical and constructive argumentation in De Trinitate, which is essentially trinitarian, he is inherently and necessarily developing an anthropology. In all he says about the divine, he is saying as much about what it means to be human. This thesis therefore seeks to reenvision Hilary's overall theological project in terms of the continual, and for him necessary, anthropological corollary of trinitarian theology-to reframe it in terms of a 'trinitarian anthropology'. My contention is that the coherence of Hilary's thought depends upon his understanding of divine-human relations. I will demonstrate this through following Hilary's main lines of trinitarian argument, out of which flows his anthropological vision. These main lines of argument, namely, divine generation, divine infinity, divine unity, the divine image, and divine humanity, each unfold into a progressive picture of humanity from potentiality to perfection. This not only provides a new paradigm for understanding Hilary's own thought, but invites us to reexamine our approach to fourth-century theology entirely, as it disavows any reading of the trinitarian controversies in conceptual abstraction. Further, theological and religious anthropology are widely discussed in contemporary scholarship, and Hilary's profound exploration of divine-human relations, and what it means to be a human being as a result, has much to offer both historical and contemporary concerns
