Commentary upon the Gospel according to Saint Luke by Saint Cyril of Alexandria. Part 2
No full textAs the title of this work broadly indicates, it is the translation into English of St. Cyril of Alexandria’s commentary on the Gospel of Luke. This manuscript document had recently been acquired by Oxford University in Syriac. Payne Smith published an edition, but quickly realized that the work would largely go ignored if it were not translated into English. Few scholars of his day were as able to undertake this task as Payne Smith. Cyril represented the extremely influential Alexandrian school of early Christianity that gave the church much of the material that would lead eventually to the doctrine of the Trinity. Needless to comment, Cyril’s own interpretation of one of the Gospels focuses a crucial eye on a major source for understanding early Christianity. Scholars of the Christian Scriptures will find a useful cross-section of early interpretation here, and students of the major figures of the Alexandrian school will garner some of Cyril’s considerable insights into Scripture. This book retains its value to students of many specializations in Late Antiquity.
Robert Payne Smith (1819-1895) was a priest who had studied Classics at Pembroke College, Oxford University. He later became Regius Professor of Divinity at Oxford University. He was eventually appointed the Dean of Canterbury Cathedral. He was most noted for his Syriac lexicon entitled Thesaurus Syriacus.Translated into English from an ancient Syriac version

Rehypothecation
Full text linkHow would you feel if even though you were making regular monthly payments, your mortgage bank sold your house? This may seem like an odd question, but this type of situation happens every day in financial markets in a practice known as rehypothecation. Although such practices may be hard for nontraders to understand, rehypothecation is widespread in financial markets. Following the crisis of 2007-2009, the Dodd-Frank Act put restrictions on rehypothecation for derivatives. To understand the scope of these restrictions, we need to understand the role of rehypothecation in financial trades. In this article, Cyril Monnet discusses questions such as: Which party to a financial trade does rehypothecation benefit? Are there limits to its advantages? And how should it be regulated? There are no hard and fast answers to the last question, but the author notes that we can make a more informed decision about the pros and cons of various forms of regulation if we understand the underlying economics.Financial markets ; Financial Regulatory Reform (Dodd-Frank Act)
"An Inauthentic Georgian Epistle Attributed to Cyril of Alexandria"
No full textThis article considers the authenticity of a letter attributed to Cyril of Alexandria that survives only in two Georgian manuscripts. This letter stands at the head of a catena of exegetical fragments dealing with the Pauline epistles, and its author claims responsibility for compiling the subsequent collection of extracts from patristic authors. Although its existence has been known since the early twentieth century, and it was included in Cyril's corpus in the Clavis Patrum Graecorum, a critical edition of the letter was only recently published in 2003. We provide the first modern translation of the letter, and argue on the basis of its contents that Cyril was almost certainly not its author
Towards ex vivo repair of damaged donor kidneys
Full text linkThe shortage of donor kidneys is a worldwide problem. One possibility to increase the donor organ pool is to improve the quality of suboptimal donor kidneys. For this reason, an increasing amount of research is being performed on the subject of machine perfusion, a technique during which an organ is connected to a perfusion circuit. Apart from the fact that this technique can be used to bridge the period between donation and actual transplantation, it also provides the opportunity for active interventions to an isolated organ. The first part of my thesis focuses on a cellular intervention during normothermic (37 degrees) machine perfusion with mesenchymal stromal cells. The aim was to determine if it was technically feasible to administer mesenchymal stromal cells, cells with regenerative capacities, during normothermic machine perfusion and what effect these cells had on the donor kidney. It proved to be feasible to administer these cells in such way that a proportion remained detectable after machine perfusion. In a porcine autotransplantation model, mesenchymal stromal cells did not affect early graft function, but further research is necessary to determine if these cells could have a beneficial effect on longer term graft function of the donor kidney. The second part of my thesis focuses on the use of different perfusion solutions and oxygen carriers during normothermic machine perfusion. From these experiments it can be concluded that the composition of the perfusion solution, as well as the choice for a specific oxygen carrier, has a significant impact on kidney function and injury markers during normothermic machine perfusion

He completed medical training at the College of Medical Evangelists, took a three-year course in neuropathology, neurology, and neurosurgery, and returned to teach at his alma mater. He was the author of a scope of books, one of which became a standard textbook on neuropathology. In 1934, he founded the Cajal Laboratory of Neuropathology.

Preserving organ function of marginal donor kidneys
Full text linkNiertransplantatie is de beste medische behandeling voor patiënten die lijden aan eindstadium nierfalen. De afgelopen decennia is de samenstelling van de overleden donorpool radicaal veranderd, zodanig dat er steeds meer organen beschikbaar komen van oudere donoren, die vaak al meerdere aandoeningen in de voorgeschiedenis hebben, of van zogenaamde non-heart beating donoren bij wie de orgaanuitname pas kan beginnen wanneer het hart al enkele minuten stil heeft gestaan. Zulke orgaandonoren worden ook wel marginale donoren genoemd. Dit proefschrift beschrijft de resultaten van klinische en pre-klinische studies op het gebied van niertransplantatie. In deze studies wordt de invloed die verscheidene karakteristieken van overleden orgaandonoren op het transplantatieresultaat hebben gekwantificeerd. Tevens wordt het effect onderzocht van interventies vóór of gedurende orgaanpreservatie, die zijn gericht op het beter conserveren van de orgaankwaliteit voorafgaand aan de transplantatie. Daarnaast beschrijft het proefschrift een studie waarin biomarkers worden gemeten in de orgaanpreservatievloeistof en een andere studie waarin de vasculaire weerstand wordt bepaald tijdens machinale preservatie van donornieren. Deze beide studies hebben als doel het voorspellen van de vitaliteit en de functie van het orgaan na transplantatie. Hoewel de resultaten van de studies in dit proefschift betrekking hebben op nieren afkomstig van alle typen overleden donoren, zijn ze het meest relevant voor marginale donornieren. Aangezien de functie en levensduur van zulke nieren na transplantatie vaak suboptimaal zijn, is extra informatie over hun kwaliteit nog vóór transplantatie belangrijk. Tevens zijn nieuwe interventies die de orgaanfunctie ná transplantatie verbeteren noodzakelijk
