    IONM of the Recurrent Laryngeal Nerve

    No full text
    Thyroid surgery can pose risk to both the right and the left recurrent laryngeal nerves (RLN) in a single surgical procedure. Unilateral vocal cord palsy (VCP) can lead to morbidity related to changes in voice, especially in professional voice users, as well as potential dysphagia and aspiration, while bilateral VCP may require tracheostomy. Visualization of the RLN during surgery has been considered the gold standard for preventing injury to the RLN; however, an intraoperatively visualized and structurally intact nerve does not necessarily represent a postoperatively functioning nerve. Neural monitoring has increasingly gained the attention of surgeons performing thyroid and parathyroid surgeries around the world. Current studies suggest that a majority of general and head and neck surgeons use neural monitoring in at least some of their thyroid surgical cases. This chapter presents a historical overview and usage patterns of intraoperative neural monitoring (IONM) of the RLN and discusses its impact on surgical practice, including intraoperative applications of IONM, medicolegal aspects and standards of IONM, normative data, as well as current advances in IONM such as continuous IONM

    Intraoperative Neural Injury Management: Neuropraxic Non-transection Injury

    No full text
    During thyroid surgery, the macroscopically intact recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) may cease to function, even though it is not transected. Traction, cautery, pressure, crush, or being tied in surrounding tissue are some causes of impaired function during surgery. Invisible RLN injuries (such as thermal, traction, compression, contusion, or pressure) are not detected by the surgeon’s eye; only a functional assessment of the RLN with intraoperative nerve monitoring (IONM) can detect such insults. With the application of IONM, we appreciate that traction is the major cause of RLN injury during thyroid surgery

    The International RLN Anatomic Classification System

    No full text
    With this chapter we offer an anatomy-based classification system of recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN); a classification that embraces normal anatomy as well as embryological and acquired sources of variation in the trajectory of the right and left RLN in human neck. We endeavor to put forth a classification system that encompasses all of the above sources of variations and is simple and surgically relevant so that it is maximally valuable to the surgeon during thyroidectomy. This classification system relates to the path/trajectory of the main trunk of the RLN. We appreciate that specific interactions between the nerve and the thyroid gland occur at the tubercle of Zuckerkandl (described in Chap. 9), ligament of Berry (described in Chap. 10) and with the inferior thyroid artery (described in Chap. 7). The surgical approach to the nerve can be conceptualized in a number of different ways and this is detailed in Chap. 13. In this chapter both the basic classification of RLN surgical anatomic path in the neck base as it relates to the thyroid surgery as well as vagal carotid sheath anatomy are described

    The Rhetoric of Landscape in Gregory of Nyssa’s Homilies on the Song of Songs

Proceedings of the 13th International Colloquium on Gregory of Nyssa (Rome, 17-20 September 2014)Series: Vigiliae Christianae, Supplements, Volume: 150In this paper I want to take you on a walk through a garden. It is, to be sure, an imaginary garden; nevertheless, it bears a significance which extends beyond itself. Some of this significance concerns words and texts: for as we shall see, the garden is, amongst other things, a ‘garden of rhetoric’. The garden in question appears in the Gregory of Nyssa’s Homilies on the Song of Songs.[...

    An Evening with Richard Claxton “Dick” Gregory, Civil Rights Activist, Nutritionist, Comedian, and Author

    Gregory, Richard Claxton “Dick” (Born, October 12, 1932, St. Louis, Mo.), African American comedian and civil rights activist whose social satire changed the way white Americans perceived African American comedians since he first performed in public. Gregory’s autobiography, Nigger, was published in 1963 prior to The assassination of President Kennedy, and became the number one best-selling book in America. Over the decades it has sold in excess of seven million copies. His choice for the title was explained in the forward, where Dick Gregory wrote a note to his mother. “Whenever you hear the word ‘Nigger’,” he said, “you’ll know their advertising my book.” In 1984 he founded Health Enterprises, Inc., a company that distributed weight loss products. In 1987 Gregory introduced the Slim-Safe Bahamian Diet, a powdered diet mix, which was immensely profitable. Economic losses caused in part by conflicts with his business partners led to his eviction from his home in 1992. Gregory remained active, however, and in 1996 returned to the stage in his critically acclaimed one-man show, Dick Gregory Live! The reviews of Gregory’s show compared him to the greatest stand-ups in the history of Broadway

    "The best rural schools in the country" : Lee L. Driver and the consolidated schools of Randolph County, Indiana, 1907-1920

    No full text
    The early twentieth century marked a period of intense efforts toward reform of the American educational system. Rural education was not excluded from these efforts. The most dramatic change in rural education during the period was the closure and consolidation of "ungraded," one-room schools into consolidated high schools. These efforts met with intense resistance, often with the fear that rural communities would be destroyed by such educational reforms. Scholars have written very little on this subject, and what they have written has viewed the reform efforts quite negatively. One Indiana county, Randolph County, was generally regarded as the model rural school system during the period. Lee L. Driver, the county superintendent of schools, led the consolidation efforts in Randolph County. In many ways a typical Indiana county superintendent, Driver helped to transform his county and eventually became regarded as one of the national experts in the rural school reform movement. As evidenced by the number of visitors to its schools and by the attention it received from both the popular press and the academic press, Randolph County was a national model for more than a decade. Consolidation's impact on minorities and women was uneven in this county. As other locations made similar progress, Randolph County's exceptionalism waned, though there is an enduring legacy both for Lee L. Driver and the county's system of schools in the present educational system of the area.Thesis (D. Ed.)Department of Educational Leadershi

    “Judge Me Gently”: Reflections on the Religious Life of John Milton Gregory, 1822–1898

    John Milton Gregory is familiar to many Christian educators through his 19th-century publication, The Seven Laws of Teaching. For most readers of this important book, little is known about the author himself. This article explores the religious life and theological foundations of John Milton Gregory, who was both author of The Seven Laws of Teaching and founding president of the University of Illinois. Utilizing his spiritual diaries preserved in his daughter's biography of her father and archival sources from the University of Illinois, this essay offers a theological and spiritual understanding of this important historical figure. </jats:p
