Recent Research in Religion
Authors: Adkins Martha 
Published: November 2018

This paper reports the results of a study of the citations accompanying research published over ten years in the fields of theology, religious studies, and biblical studies. The purpose of the citation analysis project was to determine patterns of material usage by scholars in the discipline of Religion. The project proposed to seek answers to questions that frequently cross the minds of theological librarians, including, among others, the types of sources used by researchers in our fields, the prominence of primary sources, the currency of sources cited, dominant languages of publication and research, and most frequently used journals.
A sample of peer-reviewed articles from these fields, chosen from journals indexed by the ATLA Religion Database, was examined from a variety of angles. 4107 cited references from 96 articles were analyzed for source type, publication language, dating, and authorship; articles were further examined for the peer review status of the publishing journal and the subject area covered.
The cited references of the 96 articles analyzed were primarily monographs, published in English, published and created within the decades before the publication of the citing articles, and most had a single author. The 14 most frequently cited journals covered topics in religion and the social sciences.
The results reported here are expected to be informative to theological librarians in making collection development decisions and building subject liaison relationships. Librarians may choose monograph acquisitions over other types, or consider promoting other types of resources differently to encourage use. Theological librarians might consider subscribing to journal titles which overlap in subject coverage with the social sciences. Librarians and discipline faculty will likely find many conversation points among the data presented here.
Fake News, Confirmation Bias, the Search for Truth, and the Theology Student
Authors: Badke William 
Published: November 2018

In an era in which the reliability of many kinds of information are in question, the theological library has a crucial role to play in guiding students in their evaluation of the resources available to them both within and outside of our collections. Confirmation bias creates a strong obstacle, as does the tendency for theological students to create fortresses of belief that prevent them from fully engaging with all views and evaluating them both openly and effectively. While students may have varying opinions about the possibility of finding truth, they need to discover the best means to come to a strong measure of certainty.

SO WHAT DO WOODCOCKS AND WALLENSTEIN HAVE IN COMMON? ON PUSHKIN’S OVERLOOKED PUN
Authors: Savelzon I. 
Published: November 2018

Following his trip to Orenburg, Pushkin wrote to V. Perovsky attaching four copies of his History of Pugachev’s Revolt [Istoriya Pugachevskogo bunta], asking him to forward those to ‘Dahl, Pokotilov, and that hunter who likes to compare woodcocks with Wallenstein or the Caesar’.This hunter’s identity has long since been revealed by V. Dahl in his Notes on Pushkin [Zapiski o Pushkine]: it is K. Artyukhov, director of the Orenburg-based Neplyuev military school, who once played host to Pushkin in his bathhouse and entertained him with a dialogue about woodcocks (Waldschnepfe) - gamebirds who proudly fly towards the deadly lead, wings spread widely. In Pushkin’s pun, the dying woodcock is likened to the Caesar in his composure, and to Wallenstein in his final gesture, according to Artyukhov’s impression. In Europe and Russia, the memory of A. von Wallenstein was revived after F. Schiller’s trilogy (1799). The prince apparently spread his arms and offered his unprotected chest to the murderer’s halberd. A similar description is provided by Schiller, but in his History of the Thirty Years’ War, rather than in his play Wallenstein’s Death. This history was missing from Pushkin’s library, although he may have found out about the prince’s final gesture elsewhere.Pushkin’s pun is unique in its two-layer structure: the phonetic likeness reaches into a non-verbal, pantomimic level. In addition, the quip and the final phrase in the letter provide an example of metered prose.
STENDHAL, PUSHKIN, GOGOL: TOWARDS THE METAPHYSICS OF A MONUMENT
Authors: Shults S. 
Published: November 2018

The metaphysical motif of the monument in the works of Pushkin and Gogol is compared with Stendhal’s monument philosopheme. The article demonstrates the ideatorial and material, spiritual and tangible aspects of the motif in the works of these authors, as well as its connection with the historical element in culture and daily reality.The monuments in Pushkin’s ode and Gogol’s Selected Passages from Correspondence with Friends [Vybrannie mesta iz perepiski s druziyami] is perceived by the two authors through the dichotomy of culture as opposed to civilization. It was on Russian soil that Pushkin and Gogol further developed the cultural-historical and philosophical-historical pathos of Stendhal’s observations, moving in the same romantic/post-romantic flow.The author infers that, in his Monument [Pamyatnik], Pushkin preserved and uncovered his creative self as a combination of the spiritual and the tangible. By contrast, Gogol’s late works show his attempts to evade such preservation or to use ambiguous ways to imply the existence of his morphed self. Indeed, Gogol did not ‘repeat’ Pushkin, but only in the constant inner dialogue with the poet amid history in motion.
TIME AND THE OTHERS. ‘BILLIARDS AT HALF-PAST NINE’ [‘BILLARD UM HALB ZEHN’] BY H. BÖLL
Authors: Fomin S. 
Published: November 2018

The article deals with the image of time of Heinrich Böll’s Billiards at Half-Past Nine. Undergoing transformation as the novel progresses from beginning to end, time is promoted beyond the formal meanings of the word to the book’s theme, key driver of its plot, and one of the novel’s main characters. The author examines the artistic techniques, composition, timeline, and topography related to this metamorphosis, as well as the writer’s typical stylistic methods.To mention just a few, its dramaturgical substitution (whereby the role of the narrator is passed on from one character to another, and the scene moves across time); semantic surprise (an unexpected use of a word, or change of the topic of narration); spiral composition (description of past and present events in a cyclical rather than linear narration); the poetics of repetition and artistic laconicism.In addition, the research looks at the novel’s position in time and space in accordance with M. Bakhtin’s classification.

Leksell GammaPlan version 10.0 preview: performance of the new inverse treatment planning algorithm applied to Gamma Knife surgery for pituitary adenoma
Authors: Schlesinger David J. , Sayer Faisal T. , Yen Chun-Po , Sheehan Jason P. 
Published: November 2018

Object
Treatment planning for Gamma Knife surgery has traditionally been a forward planning (FP)–only approach with results that depend significantly on the experience of the user. Leksell GammaPlan version 10.0, currently in beta testing, introduces a new inverse planning (IP) engine that may allow more reproducible results across dosimetrists and individual institutions. In this study the authors compared the FP and IP approaches to Gamma Knife surgery.

Methods
Forty-three patients with pituitary adenomas were evaluated after dose planning was performed using FP and IP treatment approaches. Treatment plans were compared for target coverage, target selectivity, Paddick gradient index, number of isocenters, optic pathways dose, and treatment time. Differences between the forward and inverse treatment plans were evaluated in a statistical fashion.

Results
The IP software generated a dose plan within approximately 10 minutes. The FP approach delivered the prescribed isodose to a larger treatment volume than the IP system (p < 0.001). The mean (± SD) FP and IP coverage indices were 0.85 ± 0.23 and 0.85 ± 0.13, respectively (no significant difference). The mean FP and IP gradient indices were 2.78 ± 0.20 and 3.08 ± 0.37, respectively (p < 0.001). The number of isocenters did not appreciably differ between approaches. The maximum doses directed to the optic apparatus for the FP and IP methods were 8.67 ± 1.97 Gy and 12.33 ± 5.86 Gy, respectively (p < 0.001).

Conclusions
The Leksell GammaPlan IP system was easy to operate and provided a reasonable, first approximation dose plan. Particularly in cases in which there are eloquent structures at risk, experience and user-based optimization will be required to achieve an acceptable Gamma Knife dose plan.
Neurological complications and symptom resolution following Gamma Knife surgery for brain metastases 2 cm or smaller in relation to eloquent cortices

Published: November 2018

Object
Reports on resection of tumors in or near eloquent cortices have noted neurological complications in up to 30% of patients. This paper contains an analysis of symptom resolution and neurological morbidity following 20-Gy Gamma Knife surgery (GKS) for supratentorial brain metastases ≤ 2 cm in greatest diameter.

Methods
The authors performed a retrospective analysis of 98 consecutively treated adults (33 men and 65 women with a median age of 61.4 years at the time of GKS) with Karnofsky Performance Scale score ≥ 60, who underwent GKS for supratentorial brain metastases ≤ 2 cm in diameter. Lesion location was classified as noneloquent (Grade I), near eloquent (Grade II), or eloquent (Grade III), in accordance with the grading system developed by the group at M. D. Anderson Cancer Center. Following treatment, the patients underwent MR imaging and clinical examinations at 6 weeks and every 3 months thereafter.

Results
Ninety-eight patients underwent 20-Gy GKS for 131 metastases at initial presentation and 31 patients underwent salvage 20-Gy GKS for 76 new lesions, for a total of 207 lesions (mean lesion volume 0.44 cm3). Lesions were classified as follows: Grade I, 96 (46.4%); Grade II, 51 (24.6%); and Grade III, 60 (29%). Fifteen patients (2 with Grade II and 13 with Grade III lesions) presented with deficits referable to their lesions, yielding pre-GKS deficit rates of 7.2% per lesion and 15.3% per patient. The pre-GKS deficits improved or resolved in 10 patients (66.7%) at a median time of 2.8 months and remained stable in 3 patients (20%). Two patients (13.3%) experienced worsened neurological deficits. One patient who was neurologically intact prior to treatment developed a new hemiparesis (1 of 83 patients [1.2%]). The rates of permanent neurological deterioration following GKS for Grades I, II, and III lesions were 0% (0 of 96 tumors), 2% (1 of 51), and 3.3% (2 of 60), respectively. The pre-GKS neurological deficits and larger lesions were the most significant risk factors for post-GKS neurological deterioration.

Conclusions
Gamma Knife surgery performed using a 20-Gy dose provides amelioration of neurological deficits from brain metastases that are ≤ 2 cm in diameter and located in or near eloquent cortices in nearly two-thirds of patients with a low incidence of morbidity. Consistent with the surgical literature, higher rates of neurological complications were observed as proximity to eloquent regions and lesion size increased. There was no neurological deterioration in patients harboring metastases in noneloquent areas.
Apparent diffusion coefficients for evaluation of the response of brain tumors treated by Gamma Knife surgery
Authors: Huang Chuan-Fu , Chiou Shyh-Ying , Wu Ming-Fang , Tu Hsien-Tang , Liu Wen-Shan , Chuang Jim-Chao 
Published: November 2018

Object
Cellular density is a major factor for change in the apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC). The authors hypothesized that loss of tumor cells after Gamma Knife surgery (GKS) may alter the ADC value and used diffusion weighted MR imaging (DW imaging) to evaluate cellular changes in brain tumors to detect their treatment response and the efficacy of GKS.

Methods
In this paper the authors describe a prospective trial involving 86 patients harboring 38 solid or predominantly solid brain metastases, 30 meningiomas, and 24 acoustic neuromas that were treated by GKS. The patients underwent serial MR imaging examinations, including DW imaging, before treatment and at multiple intervals following GKS. Follow-up MR images and clinical outcomes were reviewed at 3-month intervals for metastatic lesions and at 6-month intervals for benign tumors. Apparent diffusion coefficients were calculated from echoplanar DW images, and mean ADC values were compared at each follow-up.

Results
The mean ADC value for all meningiomas was 0.82 ± 0.15 × 10−3 mm2/sec before GKS. The mean ADC value as of the last mean follow-up of 42 months was 1.36 ± 0.19 × 10−3 mm2/sec, a significant increase compared to that before treatment (p < 0.0001). Calcification (p = 0.006) and tumor recurrence (p = 0.025) significantly prevented a rise in the ADC level.
The mean ADC value for all solid acoustic neuromas was 1.06 ± 0.17 × 10−3 mm2/sec before GKS. The mean ADC value as of the last mean follow-up of 36 months was 1.72 ± 0.26 × 10−3 mm2/sec, a significant increase (p = 0.0002) compared with values before GKS. At the last mean MR imaging follow-up there appeared to be tumor enlargement in 3 patients (12.5%); however, since the ADC values in these patients were significantly higher than the preradiosurgery values, the finding was considered to be a sign of radiation necrosis rather than tumor recurrence.
The mean ADC value of metastatic tumors was 1.05 ± 0.12 × 10−3 mm2/sec before GKS. This value rose significantly (p < 0.0001) to 1.64 ± 0.18 × 10−3 mm2/sec after GKS at a mean follow-up of 9.4 months. Magnetic resonance imaging showed that 89% of these tumors had been controlled by GKS. In 2 patients there were enlarged lesions, but the ADC values were the same as pre-GKS levels, and therefore, the lesions were deemed recurrent.

Conclusions
Apparent diffusion coefficient values may be useful in evaluating treatment results before a definitive change in volume is evident on imaging studies. In some patients in whom imaging findings are equivocal, ADC values may also be used to distinguish radiation-induced necrosis from tumor recurrence.
Gamma Knife surgery for optic glioma

Published: November 2018

Optic pathway/hypothalamic gliomas represent approximately 2%–5% of brain tumors in children. Total excision, subtotal excision, subtotal excision followed by irradiation, radiation therapy alone, chemotherapy, and no treatment at all have been reported. In this article the authors discuss the results of Gamma Knife surgery (GKS) for optic gliomas in 2 children.
Two pediatric patients, a boy and a girl, underwent GKS for optic gliomas at our hospital between March 2005 and August 2005. The children's ages were 10 and 16 years at presentation. The histological diagnosis was confirmed to be pilocytic astrocytoma in both cases. The tumor involved the optic chiasm in 1 patient and the right optic nerve in the other patient. Treatments were planned with the prescription of 11 Gy to the 50% isodose line for the optic chiasm glioma and 15 Gy to the 50% isodose line for the optic nerve glioma.
In both patients, GKS was well tolerated. The follow-up periods were 60 and 55 months. Complete response with near-total disappearance of the tumors was observed in both patients. During the follow-up period, neither of the patients developed any endocrine dysfunction.
Gamma Knife surgery permits treatment of optic glioma with good tumor control and no clinically relevant morbidity. With the ability to deliver a high dose to the tumor while sparing normal brain tissue, especially the optic nerve, optic chiasm, and pituitary gland, GKS should be the choice of treatment for optic gliomas. A larger number of patients and long-term follow-up are required for further evaluation of the efficacy and potential side effects of GKS.
In vitro biological dosimeter modeling of the glioblastoma response to radiation delivered by the Gamma Knife
Authors: Smith Ryan , Smith Kris A. , Biggs Christopher A. , Scheck Adrienne C. 
Published: November 2018

Object
The goal of this study was to develop an assay that makes possible the assessment of the glioma cell response to single-fraction high-dose Gamma Knife surgery. In this assay, the isolation of radioresistant cell subpopulations facilitates mechanistic studies of radioresistance.

Methods
A tissue-equivalent paraffin phantom with an aperture capable of holding an Opticell cell culture cassette was developed for treatment with the Leksell Gamma Knife model C. A second apparatus, which the authors also created, uses the manufacturer-supplied polystyrene phantom, thereby allowing this assay to be performed in the Leksell Gamma Knife Perfexion. After treatment, the cells were morphologically assessed to determine their response to radiation treatment. Two specific parameters were used to determine radiosensitivity: 1) the diameter of the clearing zone, defined as the central region of cell death; and 2) the number of surviving colonies within this central high-dose clearing zone.

Results
Radioresistance was compared in 2 different cell lines from glioblastomas. The first cell line, ME, was established from a primary tumor before its treatment, and the second cell line, DIV, was established from a tumor that recurred after treatment with chemotherapy and fractionated radiotherapy. The ME cell line had the most robust response to radiosurgery, as characterized by a consistently larger clearing zone (28.33 ± 1.1 mm). In contrast, the clearing zone produced when the DIV cell line was used was 24.0 ± 1 mm, indicating an approximate response difference of 5 Gy. The mean number of surviving colonies within the clearing zone for the ME cell line was 1.33 ± 1 compared with that for the DIV cell line, which was 66.67 ± 2.

Conclusions
The authors developed a biological dosimeter to model the response of cells from glioblastomas to single-fraction high-dose radiation. This system also allows the identification and isolation of radioresistant cells.
Gamma Knife surgery for recurrent or residual trigeminal neuralgia after a failed initial procedure
Authors: Huang Chuan-Fu , Chiou Shyh-Ying , Wu Ming-Fang , Tu Hsien-Tang , Liu Wen-Shan 
Published: November 2018

Object
The purpose of this study was to assess outcomes of Gamma Knife surgery (GKS) as a second treatment for recurrent or residual trigeminal neuralgia (TN) after failure of 3 initial procedures: microvascular decompression (MVD), GKS, and percutaneous radiofrequency rhizotomy (PRR).

Methods
Between 1999 and 2008, 65 patients (31 men [48%] and 34 women [52%]) with recurrent TN were treated with GKS. All 65 patients had undergone previous medical procedures that failed to achieve sufficient pain relief: 27 patients (42%) had undergone MVD, 8 (12%) had undergone PRR, and 30 (46%) had undergone GKS as the initial treatment. The entry zone of the trigeminal nerve was targeted using a 4-mm collimator and treated with 35–90 Gy. The isocenter was positioned so that the brainstem surface was usually irradiated at an isodose no greater than 20% (59 patients) to 30% (6 patients). The median duration of TN symptoms in these patients was 39 months (range 1–192 months).

Results
At the clinical evaluation, 42 patients (65%) with idiopathic TN reported successful pain control at a median follow-up point of 64 months (range 18–132 months). Of these patients, 33 (51%) were no longer using medication. At the 1-, 2-, and 3-year follow-up examinations, 74%, 71%, and 66% of patients experienced successful pain control, respectively. There was no significant difference in pain relief in the initial MVD group compared with the initial GKS and initial PRR groups (74% vs 59% and 50%, respectively; p = 0.342). Recurrence of pain was noted in 23 patients. Twelve of these 23 patients underwent another GKS, resulting in pain control in 8 patients (67%); 8 other patients underwent MVD, resulting in pain relief in 7 patients (87.5%). The median time from GKS to pain recurrence was 7 months (range 3–48 months). There was no significant difference in new facial numbness among the 3 groups (p = 0.24); however, in the initial GKS group, facial numbness was significantly associated with freedom from pain (p = 0.0012). There was a significant correlation between the total radiation dose and facial numbness. The cutoff value for facial numbness ranged from 115 to 120 Gy (p = 0.037).

Conclusions
Gamma Knife surgery as a second treatment achieved acceptable levels of pain control in 65% of patients with residual or recurrent TN after long-term follow-up. Initial treatment was not a factor that affected pain control, but salvage surgery may be considered separately for each group.
