Hypotension in Infants on Chronic Peritoneal Dialysis: Mechanisms, Complications, and Management
No full textHypotension represents a very serious clinical problem in patients receiving renal replacement therapy, and it is associated with a significant increase in mortality risk. Infants on chronic peritoneal dialysis (CPD) can be particularly prone to chronic hypotension because of the hyponatremic hypovolemia risk related to their primary renal disease, their nutritional needs, and their peritoneal membrane characteristics. In this setting, if an acute clinical event leads to a further decline in systolic blood pressure, the counteract and perfusion pressure autoregulatory mechanisms can both be impaired, leading to severe complications. Anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (AION) represents an acute ischemic disorder of the optic nerve head and a dramatic cause of sudden blindness, whose incidence is about 1% in children on CPD. In recent studies, very young age, autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease, and sustained hypotension were found to be substantial risk factors for AON. In infants at risk, strategies of long-term treatment and prevention of peritoneal dialysis-induced hypotension should be applied to prevent progression in the pathophysiologic cascade that leads to chronic hypotension and its complications

Heinrich Schaefer: Mein letztes Werk sei Gift! Der Roman "Gefangenschaft" und andere Texte
No full textPoco si sa della vita di Heinrich Schaefer, quell'autore del primo espressionismo tedesco la cui opera principale, il suo romanzo "Gefangenschaft" (Prigionia), scritto tra il 1911 e il 1913 e stampato nel 1918, non entrò mai in commercio ma circolò clandestinamente tra gli abbonati dell'ambiente berlinese. Il libro era stato annunciato insieme a opere chiave del modernismo come "Bebuquin" di Carl Einstein o "Opferung" di Franz Jung nella famosa serie "Aktionsbücher der Aeternisten", ma era l'unico volume non liberamente acquistabile. A quanto pare, è andato ben oltre ciò che era ragionevole per il pubblico, anche per gli standard espressionisti dell'epoca. Perché in esso, i pensieri abissali di un assassino sono inesorabilmente consegnati in una visione interna senza censure, non come una confessione che porta all'espiazione, ma in un atto di tremenda auto-esposizione, come una trascrizione senza moralità di tutto ciò che tormenta la mente e il corpo del narratore in prima persona. "Un libro rivoluzionario", fu il verdetto di Max Herrmann-Neiße. "Dire l'indicibile" era anche lo slogan del volume di Schaefer "Tre storie" (1918) con racconti e schizzi in prosa che oggi sono stati anche quasi completamente dimenticati e che, come il suo romanzo, sono ora da riscoprire come solitari della letteratura sperimentale in prima persona del modernismo.Little is known about the life of Heinrich Schaefer, that author of German early expressionism whose main work, his novel "Gefangenschaft," written from 1911 to 1913 and printed in 1918, never made it into bookstores but circulated clandestinely among subscribers in the Berlin milieu. The book had been announced together with key works of modernism such as Carl Einstein's "Bebuquin" or Franz Jung's "Opferung" in the famous series "Aktionsbücher der Aeternisten", but was the only volume not freely available for purchase. Apparently, it went far beyond what was reasonable for the public, even by expressionist standards at the time. For in it, the abysmal thoughts of a murderer are relentlessly delivered in an uncensored internal view, not as a confession leading to atonement, but in an act of tremendous self-exposure, as a morality-free transcript of everything that haunts the first-person narrator's mind and body. "A revolutionary book," was the verdict of Max Herrmann-Neisse. "Saying the unspeakable" was also the slogan of Schaefer's volume "Drei Erzählungen" (1918) with stories and prose sketches that today are also almost completely forgotten, and which, like his novel, are now to be rediscovered as solitaires of the experimental first-person literature of modernism
The Political Philosophy of Montaigne
No full textThis provocative book provides a comprehensive interpretation of Montaigne\u27s Essays as a work of political philosophy. David Lewis Schaefer diverges from the prevailing view, which prizes the Essays as an example of authentic literary self-portrayal but holds that the book is not a coherent philosophical work. Arguing for Montaigne\u27s significance as one of the philosophic architects of the intellectual revolution that generated the distinctive characteristics of modernity, Schaefer demonstrates the extent to which Montaigne was a systematic, radical, and political thinker. For the 2018 second printing, the author has included a list of his most important publications on Montaigne since this book\u27s original publication
