Laparoscopy for abdominal emergencies: evidence-based guidelines of the European Association for Endoscopic Surgery.
No full textBackground: Emergency laparoscopic exploration can be used to identify the causative pathology of acute abdominal pain. Laparoscopic surgery also allows treatment of many intraabdominal disorders. This report was prepared to describe the effectiveness of laparoscopic surgery compared to laparotomy or nonoperative treatment.
Methods: A panel of European experts in abdominal and gynecological surgery was assembled and participated in a consensus conference using Delphi methods. The aim was to develop evidence-based recommendations for the most common diseases that may cause acute abdominal pain.
Recommendations: Laparoscopic surgery was found to be clearly superior for patients with a presumable diagnosis of perforated peptic ulcer, acute cholecystitis, appendicitis, or pelvic inflammatory disease. In the emergency setting, laparoscopy is of unclear or limited value if adhesive bowel obstruction, acute diverticulitis, nonbiliary pancreatitis, hernia incarceration, or mesenteric ischemia are suspected. In stable patients with acute abdominal pain, noninvasive diagnostics should be fully exhausted before considering explorative surgery. However, diagnostic laparoscopy may be useful if no diagnosis can be found by conventional diagnostics. More clinical data are needed on the use of laparoscopy after blunt or penetrating trauma of the abdomen.
Conclusions: Due to diagnostic and therapeutic advantages, laparoscopic surgery is useful for the majority of conditions underlying acute abdominal pain, but noninvasive diagnostic aids should be exhausted first. Depending on symptom severity, laparoscopy should be advocated if routine diagnostic procedures have failed to yield results
Art Criticism
No full textAnalog Original: v. ; 22 cm.If Art Criticism meets some of its editors’ hopes for it, we shall be able to claim the appearance of some art criticism, with subjects arising from the writers’ or editors’ decisions, rather than the art market’s. Articles on individual critics and on current groups and tendencies will lead towards the adequate history of art criticism so badly needed in relation to art and in relation to the literature of other disciplines.

Two limit transitions involving multivariable Askey-Wilson polynomials
No full textIn the first part (without proofs) an orthogonality measure with partly discrete and partly continuous support will be introduced for the five parameter family of multivariable BC type Askey-Wilson polynomials. In the second part, the limit transitions from BC type Askey-Wilson polynomials to BC type big and little q-Jacobi polynomials will be described in detail

In and Out of the Kitchen: Women's Resistance in Nazi Germany
No full textDuring World War II in Nazi Germany, not everyone was happy with what was going on in their country. While women were discriminated against due to Nazi party policy, this did not stop them from attempting resistance efforts, psychological and physical acts, in the public and private spheres. While some women were more bold and chose to protest publicly or make anti-Nazi leaflets and pass them out on college campuses, others made their difference in the privacy of their own homes. They carried shopping bags in both hands to avoid having to salute officers or hid Jews within their homes and made certain that their day to day needs were met entirely. All acts of resistance on the part of females in 1930's and 1940's Germany was important and helped save countless lives and maintain a level of mental freedom in their own homes
