Surgical Resection With Radiation Treatment Planning of Spinal Tumors
Authors: Jakubovic Raphael , Ruschin Mark , Tseng Chia-Lin , Pejović-Milić Ana , Sahgal Arjun , Yang Victor X. D.
Published: May 2024

Background: The clinical paradigm for spinal tumors with epidural involvement is challenging considering the rigid dose tolerance of the spinal cord. One effective approach involves open surgery for tumor resection, followed by stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT). Resection extent is often determined by the neurosurgeon's clinical expertise, without considering optimal subsequent post-operative SBRT treatment.

Objective: To quantify the effect of incremental epidural disease resection on tumor coverage for spine SBRT in an effort to working towards integrating radiotherapy planning within the operating room.

Methods: Ten patients having undergone spinal separation surgery with postoperative SBRT were retrospectively reviewed. Preoperative magnetic resonance imaging was coregistered to postoperative planning computed tomography to delineate the preoperative epidural disease gross tumor volume (GTV). The GTV was digitally shrunk by a series of fixed amounts away from the cord (up to 6 mm) simulating incremental tumor resection and reflecting an optimal dosimetric endpoint. The dosimetric effect on simulated GTVs was analyzed using metrics such as minimum biologically effective dose (BED) to 95% of the simulated GTV (D95) and compared to the unresected epidural GTV.

Results: Epidural GTV D95 increased at an average rate of 0.88 ± 0.09 Gy10 per mm of resected disease up to the simulated 6 mm limit. Mean BED to D95 was 5.3 Gy10 (31.2%) greater than unresected cases. All metrics showed strong positive correlations with increasing tumor resection margins (R2: 0.989-0.999, P < .01).

Conclusion: Spine separation surgery provides division between the spinal cord and epidural disease, facilitating better disease coverage for subsequent post-operative SBRT. By quantifying the dosimetric advantage prior to surgery on actual clinical cases, targeted surgical planning can be implemented.
Dunn And Yeandle, Eds., The Journal Of John Winthrop, 1630-1649
Authors: Page Robert
Published: May 2024

Rather than a collection of daily introspections, John Winthrop consciously wrote his Journal as a history, with entries that sometimes follow a daily course, and others that omit large periods of time. Some occurrences are more fully treated than others, based on the importance accorded them by Winthrop. As a central character in the political events of the Massachusetts Bay colony, he often offered accounts that either defended or justified his position. Nonetheless, the journal does offer an intriguing view of the society of early Massachusetts.
Winthrop's journal often fails to provide a full account of the events it refers to. The fact that this is an abridged edition, representing approximately forty percent of the original journal, undoubtedly magnifies this effect. The reader is aided in contextualizing the material by Dunn and Yeandle's excellent informational footnotes. Most students, unless they possess an intimate knowledge of Puritan New England, would quickly get lost in the plethora of names and places introduced by Winthrop. The notes, however, cannot fix the rather disjointed nature of Winthrop's narrative. The editors' updating of the language has made it fairly user-friendly, but the content tends to jump from one subject to the next, and a number of episodes that Winthrop raises are never satisfactorily concluded. This flaw, of course, belongs to Winthrop, but if one is looking for continuity of narrative, it is difficult to find here.
Cherny, American Politics In The Gilded Age, 1868-1900
Authors: Grant H. Roger
Published: May 2024

Robert Cherny, a member of the Department of History at San Francisco State University, has written a comprehensive overview of American politics from the immediate post-Civil War period to the Progressive Era. In a lively prose style, he reviews major political happenings and suggests ways to interpret this spirited period.
Cherny contends that American voters principally responded to issues of ethnicity, religion, and race. At times a strong sense of class identity influenced behavior at the polls. Generally, Republicans represented a more homogeneous coalition of voters, who embraced Protestantism, promoted moral values, and endorsed a positive expectation that government could accomplish a limited number of social and economic goals. Democrats, on the other hand, showed greater religious heterogeneity, represented by Roman Catholics in the North and old-stock Protestants in the South, but they shared common opposition to the strong use of government. As Cherny suggests, Democrats were part of the "personal liberty party," carrying on the tradition of the Jeffersonian-Jacksonians. Moreover, there existed considerable popular interest in politics, resulting at times in fierce competition between the two major parties. Any effort to enact a national party agenda was doomed, given the need to win approval from two houses of Congress and the White House. After all, it was unusual for either Democrats or Republicans to dominate this all-powerful political trinity. And Cherny cogently argues that political assumptions, strategies, and events of the Gilded Age helped to establish the essential foundation for twentieth-century politics.
Teaching History As The Reenactment Of Past Experience
Authors: Pattiz Anthony
Published: May 2024

If the aim of historical instruction is to enable the child to appreciate the values of social life, to see in imagination the forces which favor and allow men's effective co-operation with one another, to understand the sorts of character that help on and that hold back, the essential thing in its presentation is to make it moving, dynamic. History must be presented, not as an accumulation of results or effects, a mere statement of what happened, but as a forceful, acting thing. The motives-that is, the motors-must stand out. To study history is not to amass information, but to use information in constructing a vivid picture of how, and why men did thus and so; achieved their successes and came to their failures. 1
-John Dewey
Once again, historical education in our nation's public schools has come under fire . According to a recent survey released by the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP), history appears to be a mystery to most high-school seniors. Fifty-seven percent did not answer enough questions correctly to reach the "basic" knowledge category stipulated in the survey.2 For history teachers, the stakes could not be higher.
Manning, Navigating World History; Historicans Create A Global Past
Authors: Sankey Margaret
Published: May 2024

Most new history teachers are prepared to teach an upper-level class in their field of research, but are most likely to be asked to do the opposite- to teach a survey of Western Civ or even more startling World Civilization. As a new colleague said in tones of whispered panic, "That's everywhere, all the time." Compounding the problem is the institutional disconnect in which surveys of World History are popular, but only a handful of graduate programs in the world turn out' professors specifically trained to approach history with a broad, comparative view.
Collette & Laybourn, Eds., Modern Britain Since 1979 - A Reader
Authors: Von Hartesveldt Fred
Published: May 2024

Modern Britain since 1979 has many qualities that are desirable in a text, but it also has some limitations and problems. Students will find the text clear and the language accessible. The editors have done an excellent job of tying the information in the various chapters together, so students will come away from reading with an integrated picture of the political history of Britain in the last 25 years. There are chapters concerning feminism and race, but these topics are developed as issues that influenced political change, not as social or cultural phenomena.
Fraser & Murray, America And The World Since 1945
Authors: Cole Jeffrey
Published: May 2024

Historians Fraser and Murray provide a concise overview of United States foreign policy and its consequences using presidential administrations as the organizational rubric for their textbook. Beginning with Harry S Truman and the onset of the Cold War and ending with the challenges the second Bush administrative faced beginning on September 11, 2001, the authors take the reader through the second half of the twentieth century in a methodical, well-organized manner. Except for Truman and Richard M. Nixon who receive two chapters ("Truman and the Coming of the Cold War," "Truman and the Crystallisation of the Cold War," "Nixon: The Peacemaker?" and "Nixon, Ford and the American Crisis") and Gerald R. Ford who shares one with Nixon, each post-war chief executive is allotted a single chapter.
Conforti, Saints And Strangers - New England In British North America
Authors: Slater Peter
Published: May 2024

One of the many virtues of this compact, but multi-layered, survey of colonial New England is that it never forgets that the past had a past. A major theme of Saints and Strangers is how successive generations of colonial New Englanders located themselves in time and place through reinterpretations of the roles and deeds of their ancestors. Depending on developments in both North America and in the home country, New Englanders saw themselves either as a new strain with a special mission or as British, through and through, playing their part in the burgeoning empire.
Medieval Connections
Authors: Adamo Phillip
Published: May 2024

A teacher who can creatively set up a dialectic of learning activities in which students move back and forth between having rich new experiences and engaging in deep, meaningful dialogue, can maximize the likelihood that the learners will experience significant and meaningful learning. -L. Dee Fink1
The truth of it is that students [in the Middle Ages] were undergoing the same formative issues in life that are confronting me directly in the face now, and I am now feeling like there is much to be gained from the appreciation of their stories. -a student in the Medieval Connections course2
In the spring of 2004 at Augsburg College, several colleagues and I developed and taught a course in medieval studies entitled "Medieval Connections."3 The course was born out of two desires: I) to create an introductory course for a proposed major in medieval studies and 2) to develop an interdisciplinary course for first-year students in keeping with the goals of Augsburg's newly-revised general education curriculum.
Buffalo Bill
Authors: Rulli Daniel
Published: May 2024

When I was growing up, the most famous and popular building in my hometown of Sheridan, Wyoming, was the Sheridan Inn because it was once owned by William F. "Buffalo Bill" Cody. Nearly everything he was associated with became as well known as he. "Perhaps no popular idol ever lived who is so well known as "Buffalo Bill" reads the document featured in this article, an advertisement for Buffalo Bill's three-reel film biography that appeared in the 1912 issue of The Moving Picture World magazine. With the announcement of the film in May of 1912, The Moving Picture World stated," ... no doubt with the great popularity of Wm. F. Cody, who is retiring to private life after having toured the world for thirty years as America's representative frontiersman and Wild West hero, these pictures, depicting actual happenings in the life of the Last of the Great Scouts, should prove to be one of the most successful features yet offered to the showmen of America." According to the magazine's January 4, 1913, issue, "the 'Life of Buffalo Bill' has re-awakened great interest in the western productions of a historical nature ... playing to record breaking houses .... shown after school hours, the picture seems to appeal chiefly to school children." This document advertised not only Buffalo Bill Cody's film biography but his life as well for Cody embodied the West for millions of Americans. He helped create an image of the West that was part of a national myth about frontier life. Elements of that myth still exist today.
The Role Of Journal Writing In Teaching Women's History
Authors: Denkler Ann
Published: May 2024

As part of a new General Education Core Curriculum at Shenandoah University, the history department took advantage of the opportunity to propose innovative, freshman-level seminar classes with low enrollments. Recently our university had also established a Women's Studies Program geared toward undergraduate minors, so I proposed to teach a course on women's history through the General Education core to expose newer students to this subject. After three semesters teaching this course, I discovered that a journal-writing requirement is an ideal pedagogical tool for acclimating new students to college-level work, a vital method for exploring women's history and gender studies, and a promising way to gain direct and evaluative feedback from my classes. By creating and sustaining a critical and reactive journal throughout the semester, students can construct a space where they can learn how to "test the waters" academically: They can create sophisticated and informed arguments and ruminate on the role of gender in their own lives as well as in history. The private space of the journal can be an ideal site in which to begin critical exploration-the type that will serve them well throughout their college years.
Integrating Basic Research Into The U.S. History Survey
Authors: Dicke Thomas
Published: May 2024

At my institution, like most others, we use the American survey both to refresh our students' knowledge of United States history and to hone their basic research, writing, and analytical skills. Until recently I, like most of my colleagues, used the traditional ten-to-fifteen page research paper to teach and test these skills. The paper worked very well as a way to produce a finished project, but I found it much less useful as a method of teaching students to think about research as a process. To help fill this gap, I developed a series of exercises that have proven effective as stand-alone assignments or when combined with a formal research paper. When I used the research paper alone, fewer than five percent of students indicated that the course helped them develop their research skills. Since I began using exercises such as those described below, roughly thirty percent of students list improved research skills as one of the strengths of the class. From a student's perspective the two main strengths of these assignments are repetition and the focus on research as a process. Students consistently indicate that they learn more from several short assignments than from one major paper. Additionally, students appreciate that these assignments combine group demonstration, individual hands-on experience, and class discussion. From my perspective as a teacher, these assignments are a simple, fast, and effective way to integrate research into the survey in a way that complements content.1
Lindaman & Ward, History Lessons - How Textbooks From Around The World Portray U.S. History
Authors: Mork Gordon
Published: May 2024

We all recall Robert Burns's couplet, reminding us that we should see ourselves as others see us. Thus Dana Lindaman (a Harvard Ph.D. candidate) and Kyle Ward (a professor of history and politics at Vincennes University) have set a useful task for themselves. History teachers and students of the discipline in general should be interested in reading United States history as seen through others' eyes. But the task is not as straight-forward as it appears. Their study, though a useful and rewarding book, also raises as many questions as it answers.
Broadwater, George Mason - Forgotten Founder
Authors: Swedberg Sarah
Published: May 2024

In this biography, Jeff Broadwater makes the argument for adding Virginian George Mason to the pantheon of founders. Broadwater adds his voice to a recent trend of restoring men whom some scholars believe have been left behind in the history of the American Revolution and early republic, men such as John Jay, Charles Pinckney, and John Witherspoon. While these scholars have not necessarily argued Mason, Jay, Pinckney, or Witherspoon rose to the level of Washington or Jefferson, they want to make sure we get it right, that government policymakers in this important period get their due.

The Internet represents an astounding historical transformation in the acquisition of knowledge and exchange of information. According to the Central Intelligence Agency, there were over one million Internet users in the world in 2005, over twenty percent of them in the United States alone. The number of Web pages is growing so fast that it is impossible to give any reliable figures; the best estimates suggest more than eight million. lt is impossible for educators to ignore these developments; instead, we are better off to embrace the resources available. To help us make sense of the dizzying maze of the Internet comes The History Highway.
Women In Asia And Africa
Authors: Dunn Joe
Published: May 2024

My teaching is grounded in an international perspective and in student-centered active pedagogy. The goal is for students to assume responsibility for their own learning, and I use student peer modeling as a means to achieve that objective. I am convinced that the best learning environment provides students the opportunity to read extensively, to write about what they read, and to talk about their reading and written commentary. Most of my courses employ this pedagogy.1 I have selected one course to describe how the process works. "Women in Asian and African Cultures" might be my favorite offering of all the myriad of courses that I teach, and it is one of the most highly rated among my students.
Building Historical Thinking Skills In The U.S. Survey
Authors: Jones Russell
Published: May 2024

As a history educator I am constantly reminded of the gulf between how I think about history and how my students think about it. Sophisticated historical thinking, Sam Wineburg has suggested, involves using the facts of history as knowledge that is "organized in interconnecting networks of meaning and significance," or, he suggested in an earlier article, as "subtext." Historians have disciplined themselves to see the connections; students are just beginning this training.1 To bridge the "breach," I have found that a project-based approach that teaches some basic disciplinary skills, primarily critical thinking and writing skills, increases student involvement in their history courses and aids retention of the material.
Lawrence Of Arabia - The Battle For The Arab World
Authors: Voeltz Richard
Published: May 2024

As the United States attempts to install a new government in present-day Iraq, this PBS documentary about T.E. Lawrence and Arab nationalism raises some eerie echoes. Winston Churchill called Lawrence "one of history's greatest men." Lawrence himself certainly tried to live up to that description with his pretentious Seven Pillars of Wisdom (1926), while the American journalist Lowell Thomas created "Lawrence of Arabia," that dashing and romantic figure of the desert. (In 1920s America Arabs were viewed by the general public as foreign and exotic, not as today when the image is one of the fanatical terrorist.)
How I Learned To Stop Worrying And Love The Survey
Authors: Mercantini Johnathan
Published: May 2024

When I finished graduate studies with a fresh Ph.D. in hand, I set out to conquer the world of academia.1 I counted myself among the fortunate ones. I had a full-time job, one that would enable me to give up my adjunct workload of five or more classes per semester plus all of the summer session courses available. Although my field of interest was Colonial and Revolutionary America, specifically South Carolina, I had taught more World and Western Civilization (a subtle but important distinction to many historians) than the American survey. Moreover, I had been fortunate enough to land a few upper-level courses-often in areas such as Sports and Race, fields of interest to me but, again, not my research specialty. With my new position I would have the opportunity to work more frequently with students on research projects, hold office hours in an office rather than a coffee lounge, and have more substantive interactions with colleagues. It also would enable me to have the time and access to the library and funding resources to work on revising my manuscript and begin some new research projects.
Historiography As Pedagogy
Authors: Wrobel David
Published: May 2024

Historiography is vital to our teaching about the past and to our understanding of the present, though you would not always know as much from the practices of K-16 history educators.1 When I began my first full-time position as a college history teacher, in Wooster, Ohio, in the fall of 1990, a well-meaning colleague gave me some advice: "A void historiography like the plague," he said, adding that students just did not care about the changing views and perspectives of historians over time. Rather than avoiding historiography "like the plague," though, I have ended up making it the foundation of my teaching over the years. I teach a graduate course dedicated solely to the historiography of the American West. But beyond that specialized class offering, historiographical contexts serve as a backdrop for all of my courses, graduate and undergraduate, including the second half of the introductory U.S. survey.2 If you want students to understand the dynamism and the relevance of the past, then you have to let them know that the past is and always has been the subject of debate, not just for politicians and historians, but for all people who want to understand their world.
Johnson, Donnelly, & Wolfenstein, The Bedford Glossary For European History
Authors: Bahr-Evola Amanda
Published: May 2024

In this digital age in which a new online reference source seems to crop up every few minutes, many of them often having a less than scholarly scope, it is reassuring to know that there are still reliable, affordable print sources being produced for students and their educators. Oftentimes, there is a tendency on the part of instructors to rely on the glossary in the back of textbooks or on websites such as Google to provide students with definitions of terms and further information on topics not found within the narrative texts or lectures.
Crew, Hitler And The Nazis - A History In Documents
Authors: Weston Nathaniel
Published: May 2024

Crew brings his expertise in modern German history to bear on this didactic and considerately arranged text aimed at secondary students, but useful even to introductory college courses in world, European, German, or comparative history. Crew does not immediately begin with the question of "Hitler and the Nazis," but rather by asking "What is a document?" By presenting Hitler and Nazism as "documents," the author successfully introduces a redemptive dimension to the at times horrible events recounted in them.

Actuality. Various pathogenetic relationships of general somatic pathology and diseases of the mucous membrane of the oral cavity, periodontium, and teeth dictate the need for a differentiated, personalized approach to their diagnosis and the choice of prevention and treatment tactics. The aim of the study. To study the peculiarities of periodontal status against the background of primary hypothyroidism. Materials and methods. The object of the study was 82 peopl eaged 28-47 years who applied to the Dental Medical Center of NMU. O.O. Bogomolets for the purpose of examination and remediation and had periodontal complaints. Of them, 51 had a confirmed diagnosis of primary hypothyroidism (manifest). The examination was carried out by standard clinical methods. Research results. It was established that the patients of the main group had a more severe degree of periodontal tissue damage and more often required a comprehensive periodontal examination and treatment. The fact of the rapid progression of the inflammatory process in the gums with the destruction of the clinical attachment and its rapid transformation into the inflammatory-destructive one has been established. Also characteristic are clearly pronounced signs of dystrophic processes, which are expressed in the generalized recession of the gums and their thinning. Conclusions. It has been established that the course of periodontitis against the background of primary hypothyroidism has a number of features caused both by the direct effect of insufficient thyroid hormones and by the specific effect of replacement therapy on the condition of periodontal tissues. Key words: рeriodontitis, gingivitis, hypothyroidism, periodontal status, gum recession, gum biotype.

Introduction: Congenital heart disease (CHD) is one of the most common congenital defect worldwide. The increase in the number of patients with CHD creates a group of people with individual special care needs, including dental care. Purpose: to evaluate oral health conditions (oral hygiene, caries experience, periodontal health) in children with CHD and compare their caries experience with the one of the group of healthy children in Ukraine. Materials and methods: Fifty-eight children with congenital heart disease and eighty healthy children aged 3-15 years were enrolled in this study. According to their age and period of dentition, all the children were subdivided into 3 groups: with primary, mixed and permanent dentition. Caries experience, oral hygiene, periodontal health and dental developmental defects were assessed. A one-sample Kolmogorov-Smirnov test and an independent-measures t-Test were used. All statistical analyses were performed using the statistical software (SPSS version 26.0, SPSS Inc.). The statistical significance was set at 5%. Results and discussion: The caries experience of children with CHD and healthy children in primary dentition was 4.0 and 6.4 respectively. The highest DMFT was registered in children with CHD in mixed (4.7) and permanent (4.6) dentitions. 33,3% of children with primary dentition and up to 52,9% in mixed dentition had poor oral hygiene. Conclusions: According to limitation of this epidemiological study, there were no significant differences in caries experience of children with congenital heart disease and healthy children in primary and mixed dentitions. These findings indicate the importance of preventive dental care and appropriate treatment of children with CHD.

Aim. To identify risk factors for delayed eruption of permanent anterior teeth in children aged 7 to 14 years, based on clinical examination, radiological examination, parental/caregiver questioning. Materials and Methods. The study included Ukrainian children aged 7-14 years who had delayed eruption of permanent teeth. They were divided into two groups. Group I was composed of 56 (40.0%) children aged 7-9 years with early mixed dentition; Group II was made of 84 (60.0%) individuals aged 10-14 years who had the final stage of mixed dentition. After careful history taking and physical examination, a clinical examination was performed to identify abnormal positions of incisors or canines and to determine the condition of the oral cavity and the bite; a radiological examination included CBCT; and the children’s parents /caregivers were surveyed with the use of the questionnaire we had developed. Results. It has been established that the main risk factors for delayed eruption of permanent teeth are arch-length deficiency, recurrent colds, respiratory disorders, delay in chewing food, pathology in the first trimester of pregnancy, premature extraction of primary teeth, use of a pacifier, delayed loss of deciduous teeth, bad habits, allergies, formula and mixed feeding, orthodontic treatment in the parents’ history, ectopic teething, and injuries to the maxillofacial area in children. Conclusions. A comprehensive history taking, an appropriate determination of the stages of dental development and an assessment of the potential risks of delayed teething are of paramount importance in the diagnosis of pathology, as they allow for the prediction of future orthodontic complications. Key words: delayed eruption of permanent teeth, questionnaire, X-ray examination, dental trauma, ENT pathology, bad habits, CBCT, early loss of primary teeth, allergy, burdened family history, stressor.

Studying the corresponding noncurricular features in conjunction with existing curriculum elements should provide valuable information for perfecting professional programs that prepare the successful businesspeople of the future (Barilla, 2008). We employ a large sample of aggregated CPA exam passage rate data from 12 Texas public universities across a ten-year sample period to analyze CPA exam passage rates. We then investigate the interactions across sample years, number of examinees, degree types, and exam sections. Our findings provide curriculum developers and schedulers with considerable insights into the delegation of teaching responsibilities owed to examinees and employers who increasingly expect the rewards of prompt CPA certification.
