Surgery for Palmar Hyperhidrosis: Patient Selection and Extent of Surgery An Evidence-Based Approach
No full textVideo-thoracoscopic sympathectomy is an effective therapy for patients with severe primary palmar hyperhidrosis who are reaching the latter part of their teenage years. However, the best level, the extent of sympathectomy, and the optimal technique used to interrupt the sympathetic chain remain subjects of debate. Our review shows that single resection should be preferred to multiple levels of resection. In cases of isolated palmar hyperhidrosis, T3 is the level of choice, although T4 may be also reasonable. All procedures have similar outcomes, but sympathicotomy may be preferred because it is more simple and less extensive than others

Other endings of Mark as responses to Mark : an ideological-critical investigation into the longer and the shorter ending of Mark's Gospel
No full textThe Longer Ending and the Shorter Ending of Mark's Gospel are the ancient Markan readers' responses to Mark's Gospel. This leads us to the question of how the authors of these endings read their Mark's Gospel. These endings reflect the ideologies of their authors. The ideologies are related to the interests of the author or the authorial community (ideological primary group), and are embedded within the text. The Longer and the Shorter Ending were produced within a social context where the matter of apostolic authoritative leadership was a sensitive issue. A potential conflict is found in many contemporary texts from the NT and the extra- canonical texts, especially with regard to the apostolic authority of Mary Magdalene and Peter. Their struggles for apostolic authority are often found in the post-Easter narrative context. The assumed ideological primary community of the Longer Ending is Pro- Magdalene. It acknowledged Mary Magdalene as its authoritative leader who enjoyed apostolic authority especially over Peter. This community was interested in mission, and re-authenticated the mission of the Eleven. The LE provides a certain guideline for the qualification of leadership in the LE's community, which is the visual experience of the resurrected Jesus. The assumed ideological primary community of the Shorter Ending is Pro- Petrine. It was in favour of Peter, and suggested him as holding authoritative apostolic authority. This community wanted to clarify the resurrection of Jesus, and emended the empty tomb narrative of Mark's Gospel. It was also interested in mission, and the authority of disciples, especially that of Peter, in their performing mission tasks is highlighted in the Shorter Ending

Anabarhynchus wintertoni sp. n. keys to A. tauricus Lyneborg and A. yeppoon Lyneborg at couplet 57 in Lyneborg (2001). Anabarhynchus wintertoni sp. n. is readily separated from A. tauricus and A. yeppoon, both species belonging to the flavus species-group, by the shape and position of the processes on the distiphallus. In Anabarhynchus tauricus the processes are narrow and curved posteriorly and positioned basally, while in A. yeppoon the processes are spine-like and positioned sub-apically. In Anabarhynchus wintertoni sp. n. the processes on the distiphallus are broadly triangular and positioned basally. Anabarhynchus wintertoni sp. n. appears to be most closely aligned to species to Lyneborg’s flavus species-group.Published as part of Ferguson, David J., Lambkin, Christine L. & Yeates, David K., 2014, Eight new species of Australian stiletto flies in the genus Anabarhynchus Macquart (Diptera: Therevidae) from South East Queensland, pp. 553-582 in Zootaxa 3802 (4) on pages 578-581, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.3802.4.7, http://zenodo.org/record/25070

Anabarhynchus iancommoni sp. n. keys to A. argenteus Lyneborg in couplet 43 in Lyneborg (2001), with both species possessing pile on the katepisternum. Anabarhynchus iancommoni sp. n. can be readily separated from A. argenteus because A. iancommoni sp. n. has antennal length longer than the head when measured along the lateral plane, post-spiracular pile absent, and with pale coxal macrosetae. Anabarhynchus argenteus has antenna shorter than the head, post-spiracular pile present, and black coxal macrosetae. Anabarhynchus iancommoni sp. n. is very similar to A. oblongicornus Winterton with both having many small black setae on the dorsolateral surfaces of f 1, f 2 & f 3 (Fig. 9); post-spiracular pile absent and lacking hind coxal knobs, which are secondary reduced in A. kampmeierae Irwin & Lyneborg. Anabarhynchus iancommoni sp. n. can be separated from A. oblongicornus, with A. iancommoni sp. n. having blackish brown femora, scape length twothirds the head length measured along the lateral plane, and with some hair-like pile on the dorsocentral area of the katepisternum. Anabarhynchus oblongicornus has yellow-brown femora, a scape length equal to head length, and is without pile on the katepisternum. Anabarhynchus iancommoni sp. n. appears to be most closely aligned to species in Lyneborg’s maritimus species-group.Published as part of Ferguson, David J., Lambkin, Christine L. & Yeates, David K., 2014, Eight new species of Australian stiletto flies in the genus Anabarhynchus Macquart (Diptera: Therevidae) from South East Queensland, pp. 553-582 in Zootaxa 3802 (4) on pages 560-564, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.3802.4.7, http://zenodo.org/record/25070
