Moral Good, the Beatific Vision, and God’s Kingdom Writings by Germain Grisez and Peter Ryan, S.J.. Edited by Peter J. Weigel
No full textFor close to half a century, the work of Germain Grisez has been highly influential, and his writings continue to receive considerable attention from philosophers and theologians of diverse viewpoints. His co-author for this work is the professor and noted moral theologian Fr. Peter Ryan, S.J., currently the executive director of the Secretariat of Doctrine and Canonical Affairs of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB). These two eminent scholars explore fundamental questions about Christian eschatology, moral theory, the purpose of human life, and the promise of human fulfilment. The authors examine Christian teaching on the final destiny of persons, investigating the meaning of God's kingdom, the hope of the beatific vision, and the centrality of moral goodness and divine grace in one's final end. This work is an ideal source for students, scholars, ministers and lay persons interested in basic questions of Christian theology, the philosophy of religion, ethical theory, and Catholic doctrin
Patch testing with hydroxyethyl-p-phenylenediamine sulfate - cross-reactivity with p-phenylenediamine
No full textBackground. Adverse reactions to permanent hair dyes are frequent, and primarily result from sensitization to p-phenylenediamine (PPD). Objectives. To investigate the degree of cross-reactivity to a chemically similar dye, hydroxyethyl-p-phenylenediamine sulfate (HPPS), and whether this might be a dyeing alternative for patients who are sensitive to PPD. Method. HPPS was patch tested in two concentrations in a total of 216 patients suspected of having contact dermatitis caused by hair dyes and/or hair cosmetics. A regular use test with a hair dye containing HPPS was suggested to every patient who had had an adverse reaction to a PPD hair dye in the past. Results. Forty of 216 (19.9%) patients reacted to 1% PPD, whereas only 2/216 (0.9%) showed a positive reaction to 1% HPPS. Reactivity to 2% HPPS was only slightly higher (5/216, 2.3%). On the basis of the 43 PPD-positive patients, the reactivity to 2% HPPS amounted to 12%; the corresponding figure for toluene-2,5-diamine was 15% (5/33). In a use test on two PPD-positive patients with a hair dye containing HPPS, no adverse reaction was seen, even after several years of regular dyeing. Conclusions. HPPS may be an alternative hair dye for individuals not tolerating PPD-containing dyes. However, cross-reactivity with PPD and other aromatic amines may occur. HPPS is also a known sensitizer, and the risk of de novo sensitization can only be assessed by a controlled study on a large panel and under regular use conditions

Frosch und Frankenstein
No full textPopuläre Bilder von Wissenschaft werden von Druck- und elektronischen Medien verbreitet. Sie gehören zum Alltagswissen. Wo kommen sie her und wie werden sie gemacht? Gibt es Beziehungen zwischen den Bildern, die in den Wissenschaften produziert werden, und dem Bild, das sich die Öffentlichkeit von Wissenschaft macht? Wenn ja, wie lassen sich diese Beziehungen beschreiben? Der Band untersucht den Zusammenhang zwischen Bildern in der Wissenschaft und von der Wissenschaft vom 19. Jahrhundert bis in die Gegenwart: Bilder vom Frosch im Laborexperiment bis zu den Phantasiewelten der Nanotechnologie, denen im Spielfilm und anderen populären Medien die Bilder des 'mad scientist' wie Frankenstein und Dr. Caligari, aber auch des Fortschritts im Hochtechnologielabor gegenüberstehen. Die Beiträge bieten vielfältige Perspektiven auf das Problem, wie Bilder als Medium die 'Innenwelt' der Wissenschaft mit der 'Außenwelt' eines Laienpublikums verbinden

Value of the Tibial Tuberosity–Trochlear Groove Distance in Patellar Instability in the Young Athlete
No full textBackground A lateralized tibial tubercle may be a relevant anatomic factor in patients with patellar instability and can be used as an indication for a distal realignment procedure. However, parameter values for the tibial tuberosity–trochlear groove (TT-TG) distance in the young patient have not been defined. It also remains to be determined how this parameter contributes to patellar instability in the growing knee joint. Purpose The purpose of this study was to evaluate the value of the TT-TG distance in patellar instability in the young athlete. Study Design Case control study; Level of evidence, 3. Methods Knee magnetic resonance images were collected from 109 patients with lateral patellar instability and from 136 control subjects. Student t test and multiple logistic regression analysis were used to compare the absolute and relative values of the TT-TG distance between patients and controls. The relative value was defined as the ratio between the TT-TG distance and the total width of the distal femur. Results The TT-TG distance (absolute and relative to femur width) differed significantly between patients with patellar dislocation and the control group (both P < .01). The TT-TG distances were on average 4 mm larger in patients with patellar dislocation; TT-TG distance divided by femur width was on average 5% larger in patients with patellar dislocation. Multiple logistic regression analysis confirmed the TT-TG distance as a significant risk factor for patellar dislocation ( P = .04), but showed no significant interaction with patient age or femur width ( P = .95 and P = .15, respectively). Conclusion A lateralized tibial tubercle is a relevant anatomic factor in the young athlete and in the adult patient with lateral patel-lar instability. Its parameter values and its influence on patellar dislocation are independent of patient age and should therefore be evaluated as in adults. </jats:sec
