Competencies required by sonographers teaching ultrasound interprofessionally: a Delphi consensus study
Authors: Cormack Carolynne J. , Childs Jessie , Kent Fiona
Published: September 2024

Background

Clinicians from multiple professional backgrounds are increasingly using point-of-care ultrasound in clinical practice. Performing ultrasound is a complex skill, and training is required to ensure competency and patient safety. There is a lack of skilled trainers within health professions to meet this increasing educational demand. The role of sonographers in educating other health professionals in point-of-care ultrasound has not yet been well defined. Sonographers can provide ultrasound education interprofessionally, if equipped with appropriate clinical knowledge and educational skills.

Methods

A Delphi consensus study was conducted to define the knowledge, skills and attributes required of sonographers teaching point-of-care ultrasound to other health professionals in Australia and New Zealand. Health professionals with subject matter expertise in the leadership, facilitation, and delivery of ultrasound education by sonographers were invited to participate.

Results

There were 72 expert participants in survey round one, and 49 in round two. Participants included physicians, sonographers, and other health professionals. Consensus was reached on 31 competency items for sonographers teaching ultrasound interprofessionally, with agreement of greater than 94% reached by participants.

Conclusions

This consensus study has defined the knowledge, skills and attitudes required for sonographer competence in point-of-care ultrasound education. This is an important step to developing a training pathway for sonographers engaging in this emerging area.

Highly efficient adeno associated viruses (AAVs) targeting the central nervous system (CNS) are needed to deliver safe and effective therapies for inherited neurological disorders. The goal of this study was to compare the organ-specific transduction efficiencies of two AAV capsids across three different delivery routes. We compared AAV9-CBA-fLucYFP to AAV-DJ-CBA-fLucYFP using the following delivery routes in mice: intracerebroventricular (ICV) 1 × 1012 vg/kg, intrathecal (IT) 1 × 1012 vg/kg, and intravenous (IV) 1 × 1013 vg/kg body weight. Our evaluations revealed that following ICV and IT administrations, AAV-DJ demonstrated significantly increased vector genome (vg) uptake throughout the CNS as compared to AAV9. Through the IV route, AAV9 demonstrated significantly increased vg uptake in the CNS. However, significantly fewer vgs were detected in the off-target organs (kidney and liver) following administration of AAV-DJ using the IT and IV delivery routes as compared to AAV9. Distributions of vgs correlate well with transgene transcript levels, luciferase enzyme activities, and immunofluorescence detection of YFP. Overall, between the two vectors, AAV-DJ resulted in better targeting and expression in CNS tissues paired with de-targeting and reduced expression in liver and kidneys. Our findings support further examination of AAV-DJ as a gene therapy capsid for the treatment of neurological disorders.
Identification of HDAC10 as a candidate oncogene in clear cell renal carcinoma that facilitates tumor proliferation and metastasis

Published: September 2024

Background

Clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) remains one of the most lethal urological malignancies even though a great number of improvements in diagnosis and management have achieved over the past few decades. Accumulated evidence revealed that histone deacetylases (HDACs) play vital role in cell proliferation, differentiation and apoptosis. Nevertheless, the biological functions of histone deacetylation modification related genes in ccRCC remains poorly understood.

Method

Bulk transcriptomic data and clinical information of ccRCC patients were obtained from the TCGA database and collected from the Chinese PLA General Hospital. A total of 36 histone deacetylation genes were selected and studied in our research. Univariate cox regression analysis, least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) regression, random forest (RF) analysis, and protein-protein interaction (PPI) network analysis were applied to identify key genes affecting the prognosis of ccRCC. The ‘oncoPredict’ algorithm was utilized for drug-sensitive analysis. Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (GSEA) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) enrichment analysis was used to explore the potential biological function. The ssGSEA algorithm was used for tumor immune microenvironment analysis. The expression levels of HDAC10 were validated by RT-PCR and immunohistochemistry (IHC). 5-ethynyl-2′-deoxyuridine (EdU assay), CCK-8 assay, cell transwell migration and invasion assay and colony formation assay were performed to detect the proliferation and invasion ability of ccRCC cells. A nomogram incorporating HDAC10 and clinicopathological characteristics was established to predict the prognosis of ccRCC patients.

Result

Two machine learning algorithms and PPI analysis identified four histone deacetylation genes that have a significant association with the prognosis of ccRCC, with HDAC10 being the key gene among them. HDAC10 is highly expressed in ccRCC and its high expression is associated with poor prognosis for ccRCC patients. Pathway enrichment and the experiments of EdU staining, CCK-8 assay, cell transwell migration and invasion assay and colony formation assay demonstrated that HDAC10 mediated the proliferation and metastasis of ccRCC cells and involved in reshaping the tumor microenvironment (TME) of ccRCC. A clinically reliable prognostic predictive model was established by incorporating HDAC10 and other clinicopathological characteristics ( https://nomogramhdac10.shinyapps.io/HDAC10_Nomogram/ ).

Conclusion

Our study found the increased expression of HDAC10 was closely associated with poor prognosis of ccRCC patients. HDAC10 showed a pro-tumorigenic effect on ccRCC and promote the proliferation and metastasis of ccRCC, which may provide new light on targeted therapy for ccRCC.
Anything is better than nothing’: exploring attitudes towards novel therapies in leukodystrophy clinical trials
Authors: Wilson Ella , Leventer Richard , Cunningham Chloe , de Silva Michelle G. , Hodgson Jan , Uebergang Eloise
Published: September 2024

Background/Aim

Leukodystrophies comprise a group of genetic white matter disorders that lead to progressive motor and cognitive impairment. Recent development of novel therapies has led to an increase in clinical trials for leukodystrophies. To enable recruitment of individuals with a leukodystrophy into clinical trials, clinical trial acceptability should be ascertained. We sought therefore, to identify the motivations for and barriers to clinical trial participation in addition to clinical trial features that may be of concern to individuals with a leukodystrophy and/or their carers.

Methods

Adults with a leukodystrophy and parents/carers of individuals with a leukodystrophy were recruited through the Australian Leukodystrophy Registry and through online advertisements. Qualitative semi-structured interviews were used to explore participants views on what clinical trials involve, the perceived risks and benefits of clinical trials, their desire to participate in clinical trials and their personal experience with leukodystrophy. Thematic analysis of data was performed with co-coding of interview transcripts.

Results

5 interviews were held with parents of children with leukodystrophy, 4 with parents of adults with leukodystrophy and 3 with adults diagnosed with leukodystrophy. Motivations for clinical trial enrolment include access to potentially lifesaving novel treatments and improved prognostic outcomes. Participants were concerned about adverse clinical trial outcomes, including side effects and exacerbation of illness. Despite this, majority of participants were willing to try anything in clinical trials, demonstrating a high tolerance for first in human trials and trials utilising invasive treatment options.

Conclusions

Interviewees communicated a strong desire to participate in interventional clinical trials involving novel therapies. To support enrolment into future leukodystrophy clinical trials we suggest the provision of transparent information regarding clinical trial treatments, consideration of alternative trial control measures, and inclusion of treating clinicians in the trial recruitment process. Clinicians play an integral role in initiating transparent conversations regarding trial risks and adverse outcomes.
Epithelial cell-cell interactions in an overcrowded environment: jamming or live cell extrusion
Authors: Pajic-Lijakovic Ivana , Milivojevic Milan , McClintock Peter V. E.
Published: September 2024

Epithelial tissues respond strongly to the mechanical stress caused by collective cell migration and are able to regulate it, which is important for biological processes such as morphogenesis, wound healing, and suppression of the spread of cancer. Compressive, tensional, and shear stress components are produced in cells when epithelial monolayers on substrate matrices are actively or passively wetted or de-wetted. Increased compressive stress on cells leads to enhanced cell-cell interactions by increasing the frequency of change the cell-cell distances, triggering various signalling pathways within the cells. This can ultimately lead either to cell jamming or to the extrusion of live cells. Despite extensive research in this field, it remains unclear how cells decide whether to jam, or to extrude a cell or cells, and how cells can reduce the compressive mechanical stress. Live cell extrusion from the overcrowded regions of the monolayers is associated with the presence of topological defects of cell alignment, induced by an interplay between the cell compressive and shear stress components. These topological defects stimulate cell re-alignment, as a part of the cells’ tendency to re-establish an ordered trend of cell migration, by intensifying the glancing interactions in overcrowded regions. In addition to individual cell extrusion, collective cell extrusion has also been documented during monolayer active de-wetting, depending on the cell type, matrix stiffness, and boundary conditions. Cell jamming has been discussed in the context of the cells’ contact inhibition of locomotion caused by cell head-on interactions. Since cell-cell interactions play a crucial role in cell rearrangement in an overcrowded environment, this review is focused on physical aspects of these interactions in order to stimulate further biological research in the field.
3D printed versus milled stabilization splints for the management of bruxism and temporomandibular disorders: study protocol for a randomized prospective single-blinded crossover trial

Published: September 2024

Background

Nowadays, stabilization splints for the management of bruxism and temporomandibular disorders (TMD) can be produced utilizing a digital workflow comprising a digital impression of the teeth, digital splint design, and computer-aided manufacturing of the splints. The latter is usually a milling process, however, more recently 3D printing gained popularity due to its better cost and time efficiency. It remains unknown whether 3D printed stabilization splints are inferior to milled splints regarding clinical outcomes.

Methods

This clinical trial assesses the non-inferiority of 3D printed occlusal splints compared to milled occlusal splints in a monocentric prospective randomized single-blinded crossover trial with two cohorts. One cohort includes 20 participants with bruxism, the other 20 participants with pain-related TMD, i.e., myalgia, myofascial pain, or arthralgia of the jaw muscles/the temporomandibular joint(s) diagnosed according to the Diagnostic Criteria for Temporomandibular Disorders (DC/TMD). Michigan-type stabilization splints are fabricated in a digital workflow by milling or 3D printing using CE-marked materials within their intended purpose. The participants wear a milled and a 3D printed splint in a randomized order for 3 months each, with follow-up visits after 2 weeks and 3 months. Investigated outcome parameters are oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) evaluated by the Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP-G14), participant satisfaction as rated on a visual analog scale, therapeutic efficacy, and technical result of the splints. In this context, therapeutic efficacy means antagonist wear and—in the TMD group—reduction of pain/disability assessed by the Graded Chronic Pain Scale (GCPS v2.0) and clinical assessment following the DC/TMD standard, while technical outcome measures splint fit, wear and fracture rate.

Discussion

The trial will provide important information on the clinical outcome of 3D printed stabilization splints in comparison to milled splints and will, therefore, enable an evidence-based decision in favor of or against a manufacturing process. This, in turn, will guarantee for a maximum of the patient’s OHRQoL during splint therapy, therapeutic efficacy, and longevity of the splints.

Published: September 2024

Background

Lyme borreliosis (LB), caused by Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato (Bbsl), is the most common tick-borne disease in Europe. Although public health surveillance for LB has been conducted in Romania since 2007, the extent of under-detection of Bbsl infections by LB surveillance has not been estimated. We therefore estimated the under-detection of symptomatic Bbsl infections by LB surveillance to better understand the LB burden in Romania.

Methods

The number of incident symptomatic Bbsl infections were estimated from a seroprevalence study conducted in six counties (population 2.3 M) and estimates of the symptomatic proportion and duration of persistence of anti-Bbsl immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibodies. The number of incident symptomatic Bbsl infections were compared with the number of surveillance-reported LB cases to derive an under-detection multiplier, and then the under-detection multiplier was applied to LB surveillance data to estimate the incidence of symptomatic Bbsl infection from 2018 to 2023.

Results

We estimate that there were 1968 individuals with incident symptomatic Bbsl infection in the six counties where the seroprevalence study was conducted in 2020, compared with the 187 surveillance-reported LB cases, resulting in an under-detection multiplier of 10.5 (i.e., for every surveillance-reported LB case, there were 10.5 symptomatic incident Bbsl infections). The incidence of symptomatic Bbsl infection in the six counties was 86.9/100,000 population in 2023, similar to the incidence in 2018−2020 (86.0) and higher than in 2021−2022 (40.3).

Conclusions

There is a higher incidence of symptomatic Bbsl infection than is reported through public health surveillance for LB in Romania. Additional efforts are needed to strengthen disease prevention and address the important public health problem of LB.

Graphic Abstract

Authors: Koc Hakan , Uzunoğlu Seda
Published: September 2024

Backgraund

To determine the potential relationship between age-related macular degeneration and iris freckles.

Method

In this case-control study, iris photographs of 300 eyes of 300 patients diagnosed with age-related macular degeneration and 300 eyes of 300 healthy volunteers were obtained with the help of a high-resolution mobile phone camera. The evaluated iris photographs were classified according to the Descriptive Iris Color Classification Scale.

Results

The average age of the AMD group is 73.05 ± 6.93, and the average age of the control group is 73.43 ± 5.72. (p = 0.124) While freckles were present in 200 (66.7%) of the patients in the AMD group, freckles were not observed in 100 patients (33.3%) of AMD group. While freckles were present in 142 (47.3%) of the patients in the control group, freckles were not observed in 158 of control group(52.7%). There was a significant difference in the presence of freckles between the two groups. (p < 0.001) The average number of freckles in the AMD group was 3.97 ± 3.07, and the number of freckles in the control group was 3.06 ± 2.55. (p = 0.001)

Conclusion

We think that evaluation of iris details, especially the presence of iris freckles, should be used routinely in age-related macular degeneration screening. The risk of age-related macular degeneration can be predicted by evaluating iris details, which is an easy and inexpensive method.

Background and aim

Digital interventions for depression and anxiety can be as effective as face-to-face therapy. One in six workers experience some form of mental health problems, making the workplace a potential avenue to deliver mental health interventions as part of a stepped care model. This study aimed to assess the acceptability, feasibility, and preliminary efficacy of a digital cognitive behavioural therapy (dCBT) on depression and anxiety for employees in the workplace.

Methods

A mixed-methods evaluation of employees allocated to dCBT (n=25), or a waitlist control group (n=27) was used to assess five feasibility objectives related to recruitment of employers and employees, engagement, study procedure and preliminary efficacy of the intervention. Quantitative outcome measures and qualitative interviews at 8 weeks post-randomisation were used. Quantitative outcomes were also assessed within subject at 3-, 6-, and 12-month follow-up. Qualitative data was analysed using thematic and framework analysis in Nvivo, whilst quantitative outcomes were analysed using mixed effect linear models between and within subject in R and SPSS.

Results

Thirty-Three businesses agreed to facilitate the delivery of three trials run by the University of Warwick in their workplaces. 52 participants consented into the REST trial. Adherence/usage of participants of the treatment platform was just over 50% across the whole sample. There was a reduction in depression and anxiety symptoms post-intervention and at follow-up timepoints across all participants and over time although there were no statistically significant between group differences. High acceptability and satisfaction of the intervention were reported by participants based on qualitative interview data at post-intervention.

Conclusions

Results from this feasibility study suggests that the dCBT programme (REST) was acceptable and shows improvement in depression and anxiety symptoms, albeit not over and above the treatment effects in the control group. Recruitment of participants and engagement with the intervention made the feasibility of the delivery somewhat challenging. With better recruitment promotion and engagement strategies, as well as implementing the learnings from the feasibility trial, a fully powered study can inform the efficacy of the REST intervention.

Trial registration

The study is registered in the BMC Springer Nature ISRCTN registry ISRCTN31161020 (registered on 08/06/2021).

PURPOSE

Most research on artificial intelligence–based auto-contouring as template (AI-assisted contouring) for organs-at-risk (OARs) stem from high-income countries. The effect and safety are, however, likely to depend on local factors. This study aimed to investigate the effects of AI-assisted contouring and teaching on contouring time and contour quality among radiation oncologists (ROs) working in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs).

MATERIALS AND METHODS

Ninety-seven ROs were randomly assigned to either manual or AI-assisted contouring of eight OARs for two head-and-neck cancer cases with an in-between teaching session on contouring guidelines. Thereby, the effect of teaching (yes/no) and AI-assisted contouring (yes/no) was quantified. Second, ROs completed short-term and long-term follow-up cases all using AI assistance. Contour quality was quantified with Dice Similarity Coefficient (DSC) between ROs' contours and expert consensus contours. Groups were compared using absolute differences in medians with 95% CIs.

RESULTS

AI-assisted contouring without previous teaching increased absolute DSC for optic nerve (by 0.05 [0.01; 0.10]), oral cavity (0.10 [0.06; 0.13]), parotid (0.07 [0.05; 0.12]), spinal cord (0.04 [0.01; 0.06]), and mandible (0.02 [0.01; 0.03]). Contouring time decreased for brain stem (–1.41 [–2.44; –0.25]), mandible (–6.60 [–8.09; –3.35]), optic nerve (–0.19 [–0.47; –0.02]), parotid (–1.80 [–2.66; –0.32]), and thyroid (–1.03 [–2.18; –0.05]). Without AI-assisted contouring, teaching increased DSC for oral cavity (0.05 [0.01; 0.09]) and thyroid (0.04 [0.02; 0.07]), and contouring time increased for mandible (2.36 [–0.51; 5.14]), oral cavity (1.42 [–0.08; 4.14]), and thyroid (1.60 [–0.04; 2.22]).

CONCLUSION

The study suggested that AI-assisted contouring is safe and beneficial to ROs working in LMICs. Prospective clinical trials on AI-assisted contouring should, however, be conducted upon clinical implementation to confirm the effects.

Background

While intermittent fasting leads to weight loss and improved glucose metabolism, food insecurity, the insufficient access to food for a healthy life, is associated with obesity and adverse cardiometabolic health, especially in women. We aimed to characterize the effects of intermittently restricted feeding on energy balance and glucose tolerance in female mice.

Methods

Female C57BL/6J mice were fed a high-fat, high-sucrose diet and intermittently food restricted to 60% of control littermates’ ad libitum intake, starting at weaning and until week 19. Restricted mice were subsequently allowed ad libitum access to the same diet. Body composition and energy balance were measured at weeks 18.5, 19, 30, and 40. At week 42, mice underwent an intraperitoneal glucose tolerance test and plasma appetitive hormones measurements after nutrient gavage.

Results

During the food restriction phase, restricted mice accrued lower weight and fat mass than controls despite periodic ad libitum food access. Reintroduction of continuous ad libitum food caused increased food intake during the light phase and increased body mass in restricted mice. Minor differences in body composition-adjusted energy expenditure between groups were observed at week 40. At week 42, glucose tolerance was impaired in restricted mice compared to controls, and trends toward lower levels of postprandial anorexigenic hormones glucagon-like peptide-1 and pancreatic polypeptide were observed.

Conclusion

Our findings suggest that repeated intermittent food restriction leads to changes in eating behavior that predispose to glucose intolerance when food is freely available. Future studies are needed to elucidate the specific mechanisms underlying these changes.
Hyperoxia disproportionally benefits the aerobic performance of large fish at elevated temperature
Authors: Kuchenmüller Luis L. , Hoots Elizabeth C. , Clark Timothy D.
Published: September 2024

Increasing evidence shows that larger fish are more vulnerable to acute warming than smaller individuals of the same species. This size-dependency of thermal tolerance has been ascribed to differences in aerobic performance, largely owing to a decline in oxygen supply relative to demand. To shed light on these ideas, we examined metabolic allometry in 130 rainbow trout ranging from 12 to 358 g under control conditions (17°C) and in response to acute heating (to 25°C), with and without supplemental oxygen (100% versus 150% air saturation). Under normoxia, high temperature caused an average 17% reduction in aerobic scope compared with 17°C. Aerobic performance disproportionally deteriorated in bigger fish as the scaling exponent (b) for aerobic scope declined from b=0.87 at 17°C to b=0.74 at 25°C. Hyperoxia increased maximum metabolic rate and aerobic scope at both temperatures and disproportionally benefited larger fish at 25°C as the scaling exponent for aerobic scope was reestablished to the same level as at 17°C (b=0.86). This suggests that hyperoxia may provide metabolic refuge for larger individuals, allowing them to sustain aerobic activities when facing acute warming. Notably, the elevated aerobic capacity afforded by hyperoxia did not appear to improve thermal resilience, as mortality in 25°C hyperoxia (13.8%, n=4) was similar to that in normoxia (12.1%, n=4), although we caution that this topic warrants more targeted research. We highlight the need for mechanistic investigations of the oxygen transport system to determine the consequences of differential metabolic scaling across temperature in a climate warming context.

Saint John the Baptist Rigodioktes. A holy healer of fevers in the church of the Panaghia at Archatos, Naxos (1285)
Authors: ΚΩΝΣΤΑΝΤΕΛΛΟΥ (Theodora KONSTANTELLOU) Θεοδώρα
Published: September 2024

On a depiction of St John the Baptist, located in the church of the Panaghia at Archatos on the island of Naxos and dated by inscription to the 1st of September 1285, the otherwise unknown epithet Rigodioktes (Ριγοδιώκτης) has been inscribed. This epithet refers to the ability of the Prodromos to dispel the shivering of fevers caused by a number of diseases and especially malaria. However, no evidence for this has been found to date in the Byzantine written sources. But, some oral narratives that shed light on this capacity of the saint were circulating in the Ottoman and Modern eras. A local outbreak of malaria may have caused this cult aspect of the saint to surface in the church of an agrarian-pastoral community in the Late Medieval period.

Οι εικόνες από το τέμπλο του ναού της Μεταμόρφωσης στη Βελτσίστα (σημ. Κληματιά) Ιωαννίνων, έχουν ήδη συνδεθεί με την Κρητική σχολή. Με βάση, ωστόσο, εικονογραφικές και τεχνοτροπικές ομοιότητες ανάμεσα στις δεσποτικές εικόνες, τα βημόθυρα και τον ζωγραφικό διάκοσμο του ναού, και μετά από τις τελευταίες εργασίες συντήρησης που πραγματοποιήθηκαν σε ηπειρωτικά τοιχογραφικά σύνολα, θεωρούμε ότι οι ζωγράφοι των εικόνων αυτών κατάγονταν από την Ήπειρο και πιθανόν είχαν επαφές με το εργαστήρι των αδελφών Κονταρή. Η Δέηση και τα αποστολικά μπορούν να αποδοθούν σε ζωγράφους από την Κρήτη, οι οποίοι είχαν επηρεαστεί από την τέχνη των σημαντικών εκπροσώπων της κρητικής ζωγραφικής, την περίοδο της ακμής της.
Όψεις της κοινωνίας της Καστοριάς του 17ου αιώνα. Πληροφορίες από τις επιγραφές των ναών
Authors: ΠΑΪΣΙΔΟΥ (Melina PAISIDOU) Μελίνα
Published: September 2024

Στην παρούσα μελέτη εξετάζονται θέματα της ελληνορθόδοξης καστοριανής κοινωνίας και προσωπογραφίας του 17ου αιώνα, τα οποία συνδέονται με τις χορηγίες, τις δωρεές και οιαδήποτε επώνυμη και ενυπόγραφη ανακαινιστική δραστηριότητα στους χριστιανικούς ναούς της Καστοριάς. Τα στοιχεία αντλούνται από κτητορικές και άλλες αφιερωματικές επιγραφές και ενθυμήσεις, και συνεξετάζονται με πληροφορίες των πηγών της εποχής. Το μοναδικό πορτρέτο δωρητή που διατηρείται σε ναό μέσα στη βυζαντινή ακρόπολη, παρουσιάζει εικονογραφικά στοιχεία δηλωτικά μέλους ισχυρής τοπικής οικογένειας με διοικητικά καθήκοντα.

Saint Mamas’s martyrdom in the Life of Patriarch Tarasios (BHG 1698
Authors: EFTHYMIADIS (Στέφανος ΕΥΘΥΜΙΑΔΗΣ ) Stephanos
Published: September 2024

One of the scenes of martyrdom that Ignatios the Deacon rhetorically records in the iconographic programme he describes in his Life of Patriarch Tarasios (BHG 1698) is of a martyr who performed “his funeral dance in public without entrails”. Identifying this unnamed figure with St Mamas gave the author the opportunity to rehearse the saint’s iconography in the Byzantine and post-Byzantine periods, with special focus on the depiction of his martyrdom. The personal perspective from which Ignatios viewed his task in rhetorically elaborating on this particular iconographic programme is also considered.
Ο σπάνιος βιογραφικός κύκλος του αγίου Στεφάνου στον ομώνυμο ναό στη Δρακώνα Κισάμου
Authors: ΠΥΡΡΟΥ (Nikoletta PYRROU) Νικολέττα
Published: September 2024

Ο ναός του Αγίου Στεφάνου έξω από τη Δρακώνα Κισάμου τοιχογραφήθηκε στο δεύτερο μισό του 14ου αιώνα. Στόχος της παρούσας μελέτης είναι η ανάλυση του βιογραφικού κύκλου του επώνυμου αγίου, που απαρτίζεται από τρία επεισόδια, η αναζήτηση των προτύπων του ζωγράφου και η κατάδειξη του τρόπου εργασίας του. Παράλληλα, μέσω της εξέτασης των ιδιαιτεροτήτων του εικονογραφικού προγράμματος του μνημείου, διατυπώνονται υποθέσεις σχετικά με την ιδιότητα του χορηγού, ενώ επιχειρείται η σύνδεση του διακόσμου με την τοπική καλλιτεχνική παραγωγή.

A two-sided Novgorodian icon “Our Lady of the Sign and martyr Juliana” of the first third of the 13th century: aspects of the iconographic programme
Authors: SAENKOVA Elena
Published: September 2024

A two-sided icon, now in the Tretyakov Gallery, depicting the Virgin of the Sign (Blachernitissa) and St Juliana, with the representations of saint women on the margins is examined on iconographic and historical grounds. The model for the image of the Mother of God could have been the icon venerated in the Constantinopolitan church of Blachernae. It was probably commissioned by the archbishop of Novgorod Anthony, who had visited Constantinople. In 1218 he built a stone church in the convent of Saint Barbara, for which this icon was presumably intended.
A Byzantine icon of Saint Nicholas the Wonderworker
Authors: TSIOURIS (Ιωάννης ΤΣΙΟΥΡΗΣ) Ioannis
Published: September 2024

A portable icon of St Nicholas is preserved in the church of Holy Apostles Peter and Paul in the village of Kastraki, near Meteora. The depiction of St Nicholas in restrained motion, the commanding figure, the rendering of his facial features, the bare parts of the Saint, as well as of Christ and the Virgin and also the halo’s decoration attest to the work of a remarkable painter. The iconographic and, above all, the stylistic features date the icon in the last quarter of the 14th century.

Ενεπίγραφος κεντητός αέρας στο Εκκλησιαστικό Μουσείο της μονής Παναγίας Τσαμπίκας στον Αρχάγγελο της Ρόδο

Published: September 2024

Στο Εκκλησιαστικό Μουσείο της μονής Παναγίας Τσαμπίκας στον Αρχάγγελο Ρόδου εκτίθεται ενεπίγραφος κεντητός αέρας, με απεικόνιση συγκεκριμένης στιγμής της θείας Λειτουργίας, που προηγείται της Κοινωνίας των Αποστόλων, κεντημένη επάνω σε βάση από ερυθρό μεταξωτό ύφασμα. Στο κέντρο εικονίζεται ο Χριστός ως Μέγας Αρχιερεύς, πλαισιωμένος από δύο ομάδες αποστόλων. Η σπανιότητα του εικονογραφικού διακόσμου, οι επιγραφικές μαρτυρίες που διασώζει, το καλλιτεχνικό ύφος και τα τεχνικά χαρακτηριστικά του καταδεικνύουν τη σημασία του εργόχειρου στον χώρο της μεταβυζαντινής εκκλησιαστικής χρυσοκεντητικής.

Pityous, the ancient Christian center of the Caucasus
Authors: KHRUSHKOVA Liudmila  G.
Published: September 2024

Pityous (modern Pitsunda) is one of the oldest Episcopal centers in the Caucasus. The first church was built outside the walls of the Roman castellum. At the beginning of the 10th century a domed church was erected as the cathedral of the archbishop of Soterioupolis. During the 2006-2007 excavation sessions, a residential complex was discovered next to the north wall of the domed church; this complex dates to Late Antiquity. Α double church became the third Christian center of Pityous.
Μοναστικές εγκαταστάσεις στη Χάλκη της Δωδεκάνησου από τη μεσοβυζαντινή περίοδο μέχρι και το τέλος της περιόδου της Ιπποτοκρατίας
Authors: ΣΙΓΑΛΑ (Maria Z. SIGALA) Μαρία Ζ.
Published: September 2024

Στα βόρεια παράλια της Χάλκης Δωδεκανήσου είχαν καταφύγει ασκητές, από τα μέσα περίπου του 6ου αιώνα. Στους επόμενους βυζαντινούς αιώνες και κατά την Ιπποτοκρατία, ασκητές και μοναχοί εγκαθίστανται στο εσωτερικό του νησιού, στην περιφέρεια του μεσαιωνικού/μεταβυζαντινού Χωριού, και κάτω από το ιπποτικό κάστρο. Εκεί ιδρύουν ναόσχημα ασκηταριά, καθίσματα και ένα είδος «πρωτόλειων μοναστηριών» που αποτελούνται από ένα εκκλησάκι και μερικές κύφες, τις πέτρινες καλύβες του νησιού. Η απόδοση μοναστικής χρήσης στα εκκλησάκια έγινε, κατά περίπτωση, με βάση συγκεκριμένα κριτήρια.

The iconographic aspect of The Dormition of the Virgin Mary (early 13th century) from the State Tretyakov Gallery, Moscow
Authors: TATARCHENKO Svetlana N.
Published: September 2024

The publication of the new catalogue of the Tretyakov Gallery collection has encouraged the detailed study of medieval Russian paintings. Among sixteen items included in the volume dealing with the earliest icons, frescoes and mosaics of the collection, is a thirteenth-century icon of the Dormition of the Virgin Mary. The importance of this icon for the history of Byzantine art, notwithstanding its provenance from Novgorod, is proved by its style, which is similar to that of the monuments created by Greek artists in the early 13th century, as well as by its iconography which is examined in the present article.
Ο Ευαγγελισμός σε παλαιολόγειο έργο του Κάστρου της Σίφνου
Authors: ΑΧΕΙΜΑΣΤΟΥ-ΠΟΤΑΜΙΑΝΟΥ (Myrtali ACHEIMASTOU-POTAMIANOU) Μυρτάλη
Published: September 2024

Στον ναό της Κοίμησης στο Κάστρο της Σίφνου υπάρχουν δύο ορθογώνιοι πίνακες με παράσταση του Ευαγγελισμού. Η δίφυλλη εικόνα, του 14ου-15ου αιώνα, από τα λίγα γνωστά βυζαντινά έργα στις Κυκλάδες, παρουσιάζει σημαντικό ενδιαφέρον για τον σπάνιο της εποχής τύπο, για τα ειδικά εικονογραφικά γνωρίσματα και την ωραία τέχνη της. Ορισμένα στοιχεία οδηγούν στην υπόθεση ότι αυτή φιλοτεχνήθηκε στον Χάνδακα της Κρήτης από καλό ζωγράφο, με προφανή γνώση των ρευμάτων της τέχνης στα κέντρα τότε της βυζαντινής επικράτειας· δεν αποκλείεται η καταγωγή του να ήταν από την Κωνσταντινούπολη.
Αμφίγραπτη εικόνα με τη Σταύρωση (14ος αιώνας) και την Παναγία Ελεούσα (1828) απο τον Άγιο Αλύπιο Καστοριάς
Authors: ΣΤΡΑΤΗ (Angeliki STRATI) Αγγελική
Published: September 2024

Η αδημοσίευτη αμφίγραπτη εικόνα λιτανείας, που εκτίθεται στο Βυζαντινό Μουσείο Καστοριάς, προέρχεται από τον ναό του Αγίου Αλυπίου ενορίας Οικονόμου της πόλης. Φέρει στην κύρια όψη τη νεότερη παράσταση της Παναγίας Ελεούσας (1828) και στη δευτερεύουσα τη Σταύρωση, της αρχικής φάσης. Αν και με πολλές φθορές στο ξύλο και στη ζωγραφική επιφάνεια, είναι φανερό ότι η Σταύρωση έγινε από τον ίδιο ζωγράφο ή το ίδιο εργαστήριο που τοιχογράφησε τον ναό του Αγίου Αλυπίου (δεύτερο μισό του 14ου αιώνα). Η ζωγραφική της χαρακτηρίζεται από υψηλή καλλιτεχνική ποιότητα και αρτιότητα.

Η Αγία Σοφία και οι Άγιοι Απόστολοι ιδρύθηκαν από την κωνσταντίνεια δυναστεία στο πλαίσιο ενός εγχειρήματος δημιουργικής σύνθεσης της ελληνορωμαϊκής με την ιουδαιοχριστιανική παράδοση. Υπήρξαν τα σημαντικότερα αυτοκρατορικά ιερά της Κωνσταντινούπολης με βαθύ αποτύπωμα στην ιστορία και στον πολεοδομικό οργανισμό της. Μετά την Άλωση, η συμβολική διαχείρισή τους, ο σφετερισμός της Αγίας Σοφίας και η αντικατάσταση του ναού των Αγίων Αποστόλων και των αυτοκρατορικών μαυσωλείων από το τέμενος του Πορθητή τα ανέδειξε σε διαχρονικά σύμβολα της οθωμανικής κατάκτησης και του θριάμβου του Ισλάμ.
