Published: October 2018

The aim — to study the dermal layer collagen fibers morphologicy of the skin with its experimental mechanical extension according to Langer’s lines.Materials and methods. 120 skin samples extracted in 5 hours of autopsy were divided into 3 groups: 50 skin fragments that were subjected to forced mechanical stretching in parallel with the Langer’s lines; 50 skin samples that were subjected to forced mechanical stretching perpendicular to the Langer’s lines. The control group consisted of 20 skin samples taken in parallel (n = 10) and perpendicular (n = 10) to the Langer’s lines, which did not underwent any mechanical effect.Results and discussion. Mechanical stretching of the skin taken in parallel with the Langer’s lines gives a slight additional tissue increase, which was not sutable for additional plastic material forming from the adjacent intact skin to close defects of various etiologies. The forced stretching of the skin taken in parallel with Langer’s lines leads to stretching, thinning and fragmentation of collagen fibers, and is regarded as a traumatic effect. Mechanical stretching of the skin taken perpendicular to the Langer’s lines gives the greatest additional length of the tissue and will be effective for the additional plastic material formation from the adjacent intact skin to cover defects of various etiologies. Mechanical stretching of the skin taken perpendicular to the Langer’s lines leads to stretching and thinning of collagen fibers without their fragmentation, which indicates a sufficiently high stretching potential of the skin with without the intradermal structures injure.Conclusions. When planning dermatension surgery to obtain additional plastic material for various wound defects eliminating, it is necessary to consider the anatomical Langer’s lines location at all stages.

Authors: T. I. Vykhtyuk  , Yu. G. Orel  
Published: October 2018

The aim — to evaluate the prevalence of postoperative wounds complications in patients after critical limb ischemia surgery and to study its structure and incidence rate depending on the complicated postoperative wound type.Materials and methods. The treatment results of 758 patients with occlusive and stenotic lesions of the aorto­iliac and femoral­popliteal arterial segments of lower extremities supervised in ambulatory were analyzed. 783 reconstructive surgeries were performed in the of Vascular Surgery department for the period from 2014 to 2016. The average age of the examined patients was 66.64 ± 0.65 years. The stages of soft tissue infection were determined according to the Szilagyi’s classification (1972).Results and discussion. Non­infectious postoperative wound complications were 5.4 %, lymphatic 12 (29.3 %) and ischemic 29 (70.7 %). Lymphatic complications manifested in lymphocele and among all postoperative complications was 6.8 %, ischemic — 16.5 %. Infectious postoperative wound complications among all patients was 17.81 %, among all surgical interventions was 17.24 %.Conclusions. The high incidence of postoperative wound complications (23.22 %) operated for critical lower limb ischemia requires improvement and development of new therapeutic and prophylactic techniques for follow­up care of such patients. Infectious complications cause numerous postoperative risks with lengthening of the wound healing duration and impair vascular reconstruction. The high rate of surgical site infection creates preconditions for special attention of vascular surgeons to infectious component in the postoperative wounds care.

The aim — to improve the diagnosis and surgical treatment results of renal cell carcinoma, complicated with thrombosis of the inferior vena cava and right atrium.Materials and methods. The results of clinical examination, laboratory indicators, instrumental, intraoperative observations and morphological studies were analysed in 76 patients with renal cell carcinoma, complicated with thrombosis of the inferior vena cava and right atrium, who were hospitalized to the Vascular Surgery department for the period from 1993 to 2017 years.Results and discussion. Surgical treatment included radical nephrectomy in combination with thrombectomy from the inferior vena cava and right atrium. The average operation duration was 220 min, the median blood loss was 900 ml (500 — 3000 ml). Intraoperative autogemotransfusion with the «Cell­Saver Plus» method allowed to reduce significantly the blood loss and the donor blood need. The intraoperative mortality rate was 2.6 %. The postoperative complications included: pulmonary embolism — in 5 (6.6 %), acute renal failure — in 6 (7.9 %), liver failure — in 5 (6.6 %), posthemorrhagic anemia — in 23 (30.2 %), phlebothrombosis — in 2 (2.6 %), suppuration of the postoperative wound — in 3 (3.9 %) cases. The causes of postoperative lethality included: pulmonary embolism — in 1 (1.3 %), hemorrhagic shock — in 1 (1.3 %), pulmonary insufficiency — in 1 (1.3 %) case. The follow­up period was from 1 to 22 years. Two­year survival was confirmed in 77.1 %.Conclusions. The choice of optimal tactics for surgical intervention in patients with renal cell carcinoma, complicated with thrombosis of the inferior vena cava and right atrium, is determined by the different levels of venous invasion, which, in the context of a multidisciplinary approach, will minimize the risk of intra­ and postoperative complications, and improve long­term treatment outcomes.
Information Needs and Behaviours of Theology Students at the International Baptist Theological Seminary
Authors: Penner Katharina 
Published: October 2018

The study analyses information needs and behaviours of master’s and doctoral theology students currently studying at the International Baptist Theological Seminary (IBTS) in Prague, Czech Republic. The aim is two-fold: first, to extend understanding of the information behaviour of theologians working as distance learners in a cross cultural setting; and secondly, to provide guidance for the development of library information services for this group.
The study follows a quantitative research approach with a survey design and attempts to replicate in a modified way studies by Gorman (1990) and Stieg Dalton and Charnigo (2004).
The findings suggest that theology students at IBTS use many and varied types of materials in their interdisciplinary studies while giving clear preference to books, periodicals and theses. Most of the participants have, partly successfully, embraced information technology as a tool and use it extensively. To satisfy their research needs they employ a variety of methods to find relevant information and fall back on “typical” humanists’ research behaviours when “usual” channels do not work: engage their networks, expand their personal library, and browse.
While the humanist profile is evident throughout the diverse group, there are also notable differences. Theologians increasingly work interdisciplinary and integrate approaches considered typical for other disciplines. Partly differences are caused by the fact that the group under consideration are students who still experiment with research approaches. Many differences are caused by technological developments and contextual aspects.
Reading and E-reading for Academic Work: Patterns and Preferences in Theological Studies and Religion
Authors: Lincoln Timothy Dwight 
Published: October 2018

This article reports on a 2012 survey of library patrons at ATLA-affiliated libraries regarding academic reading habits and preferences. The research questions for the study were: [1] To what extent is academic reading done as e-reading?; [2] What features do participants value in e-books?; [3] What library sources do patrons want made available to them electronically? The method used in the study was an online survey. A total of 2,578 individuals took the survey in the spring of 2012. Key findings were that half of respondents regularly read journal articles on a computer screen and one in five regularly reads or listens to e-books in their academic work. Participants wanted e-books to enable them to perform keyword searches, move around quickly within the text, and annotate the text electronically. Seven out of ten participants stated that they would like libraries to provide reference works, Bible commentaries, circulating titles, and textbooks in electronic format. It appeared that the distinction between library-owned resources and those owned by an individual disappeared in the minds of many respondents. The author concludes that theological library directors should consider spending a significant proportion of their collection budget on electronic resources now, despite ongoing difficulties that academic publishers face in making a transition to digital publishing. The author also interprets findings in light of Fred Davis’ model of technology acceptance.
An Unknown Exegete: Uncovering the Biblical Scholarship of Elizabeth Barrett Browning
Authors: Elia Anthony 
Published: October 2018

The present essay provides a survey of a previously unexplored, formative period in the life of the famed Victorian English poet, Elizabeth Barrett Browning (EBB). Her personal Bibles (Hebrew, LXX, and Greek New Testament), held in the Burke Library at Union Theological Seminary/Columbia University, have been discovered to contain Barrett’s own extensive handwritten notes. These notes demonstrate that EBB read extensively among the biblical exegetes and scholars of the day, many of whom influenced her reading of the text. This essay considers the life circumstances in which she devoted herself to these studies, an overview of her marginalia in these volumes, and some suggestions on how Browning’s biblical studies may have influenced her later poetic works.
An Invisible Wall: The Relationship Between Congregational and Seminary Libraries in the United States
Authors: Klemme Eliceiri Rebecca 
Published: October 2018

Theological (seminary) and congregational libraries in the Christian and Jewish religious traditions have coexisted in some fashion since their beginnings; however, little research exists regarding the relationship between these related-but-distinct library types. This essay explores the relationship between these types of libraries through a survey of their literatures and available statistics, considering their histories and contexts within the broader religious and library worlds, as well as their current relationship in light of their diverse religious institutions. The roles of these libraries will be examined regarding religious, theological, and information literacies as well as exploring their staffs, their staff's education, funding, library hours, their goals, objectives, and outcomes, particularly regarding the changing landscape of religious and theological education for both clergy and laypeople. It concludes with future possibilities in the religious library world in a congregational landscape that often cannot afford full-time, traditionally-theologically-educated clergy, much less paid congregational librarians.
A Case for Slow Reading
Authors: Ostercamp Matthew J 
Published: October 2018

This essay makes a case for the value of slow or deep reading. Inspired by the Slow Food movement it seeks to apply their principles to reading. It begins by exploring the meaning of information and how like food, information has come to be regarded as a commodity. Drawing upon the philosophy of Albert Borgmann, it counters the prevalent commodity view of information by offering an alternative paradigm that connects careful reading to human flourishing. It argues that by connecting information to pleasure and community, slow reading advocates can have comparable success to that enjoyed by the slow food movement.
By the Numbers: Bibliometrics and Altmetrics as Measures of Faculty Impact in the Field of Religion.
Authors: Sheppard Beth M. 
Published: October 2018

Citation analysis is a staple in the sciences for measuring the impact of faculty members' output, but heavy reliance on monographs as a vehicle of scholarly communication diminished the value of bibliometrics in theological disciplines. The digital revolution, however, created a seismic shift for citation analysis and has given rise to altmetrics. Overviews of altmetrics and bibliometrics are provided and a series of questions posed to encourage ongoing discussions about the value of these tools in theological contexts.

Early red blood cell abnormalities as a clinical variable in sepsis diagnosis
Authors: Ko Eunji , Youn Jung Min , Park Hyung Sun , Song Myeongjin , Koh Kyung Hee , Lim Choon hak 
Published: October 2018

BACKGROUND: Sepsis is a medical emergency during which early detection is closely associated with mortality. In sepsis, red blood cell (RBC) abnormalities have been reported. However, it is not known how early RBC abnormalities are expressed compared with various clinical manifestations used in sepsis-related organ failure assessment (SOFA). OBJECTIVE: Therefore, using a lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced sepsis model we investigated the clinical significance of RBC abnormalities as an early indicator in the detection of septic injury compared with clinical variables. METHODS: Sprague-Dawley rats received LPS (20 mg/kg) intraperitoneally. Aggregation indices (AIs) and aggregation half-time (T1/2), and elongation indices (EI max) were measured. Clinical data-related SOFA and lactate were measured at 2 h, 4 h, 8 h and 12 h after LPS injection. RESULTS: AIs increased at 4 h, and T1/2 decreased at 2 h after LPS injection. Platelet counts decreased at 4 h, and lactate increased at 2 h after LPS injection. AIs showed strong correlations with T1/2 and platelets, EI max increased at 2 h after LPS injection, while EI max had a positive correlation with lactate. CONCLUSIONS: RBC aggregation appears to be an early indicator of clinical deterioration in sepsis and may represent a diagnostic indicator in sepsis.

AbstractCancer is the leading cause of death among Hispanics/Latinos, who represent the largest racial/ethnic minority group in the United States, accounting for 17.8% (57.5 million) of the total population in the continental United States and Hawaii in 2016. In addition, more than 3 million Hispanic Americans live in the US territory of Puerto Rico. Every 3 years, the American Cancer Society reports on cancer occurrence, risk factors, and screening for Hispanics in the United States based on data from the National Cancer Institute, the North American Association of Central Cancer Registries, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. For the first time, contemporary incidence and mortality rates for Puerto Rico, which has a 99% Hispanic population, are also presented. An estimated 149,100 new cancer cases and 42,700 cancer deaths will occur among Hispanics in the continental United States and Hawaii in 2018. For all cancers combined, Hispanics have 25% lower incidence and 30% lower mortality compared with non‐Hispanic whites, although rates of infection‐related cancers, such as liver, are up to twice as high in Hispanics. However, these aggregated data mask substantial heterogeneity within the Hispanic population because of variable cancer risk, as exemplified by the substantial differences in the cancer burden between island Puerto Ricans and other US Hispanics. For example, during 2011 to 2015, prostate cancer incidence rates in Puerto Rico (146.6 per 100,000) were 60% higher than those in other US Hispanics combined (91.6 per 100,000) and 44% higher than those in non‐Hispanic whites (101.7 per 100,000). Prostate cancer is also the leading cause of cancer death among men in Puerto Rico, accounting for nearly 1 in 6 cancer deaths during 2011‐2015, whereas lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death among other US Hispanic men combined. Variations in cancer risk are driven by differences in exposure to cancer‐causing infectious agents and behavioral risk factors as well as the prevalence of screening. Strategies for reducing cancer risk in Hispanic populations include targeted, culturally appropriate interventions for increasing the uptake of preventive services and reducing cancer risk factor prevalence, as well as additional funding for Puerto Rico‐specific and subgroup‐specific cancer research and surveillance.
Nouvelles données sur la picropharmacolite
Authors: Pierrot Roland 
Published: October 2018

Au cours d'une étude systématique des arséniates de calcium et de magnésium, il a été possible de caractériser la picropharmacolite décrite à Rie-chelsdorf par Stromeyer en 1819, mais, par la suite, très souvent confondue avec d'autres espèces minérales.
Les caractères cristallographiques et optiques de la picropharmacolite ainsi que de nouvelles analyses chimiques sont données : monoclinique, les cristaux fibreux sont allongés suivant l'axe c = 6,74 Â ± 0,02 Â ; les autres paramètres, difficiles à mesurer, sont de l'ordre de : a = 21 Â, b = 13,5 Â, [3 = 140° ; biaxe positif : 2 V = 50° ; extinction oblique à 8° avec allongement positif ; ng = 1,578 ; nm = 1,571 ; np = 1,566.
La formule peut s'écrire : (Ca, Mg)₃(AsO₄)₂ 6 H₂O.
Les gisements dans lesquels la picropharmacolite a été reconnue sont mentionnés.
The microstructures and rheology of fault gouges produced experimentally under wet and dry conditions at temperatures up to 400° C
Authors: Rutter Ernest Henry , White Stanley H. 
Published: October 2018

On a réalisé des expériences de déformation triaxiales à vitesse de déformation constante, et de fluage à contrainte constante, à des températures de 300 et 400° C sur des grès de Tennessee humides et déjà faillés. Ces données s'ajoutent à celles déjà obtenues par des tests de relaxation de contrainte sur le même matériau. La microstructure fine d'échantillons sélectionnés a été étudiée par microscopie électronique à très haute tension.
Les nouvelles expériences, à forte déformation, confirment la dramatique faiblesse qu'acquiert cette roche quand la vitesse de déformation est progressivement réduite jusqu'au dessous de 10-6s-1. Ceci est tout à fait en opposition avec la constance de la compétence de la roche sèche lors de fortes variations de la vitesse de déformation.
La microscopie électronique révèle qu'à vitesse de déformation élevée, la déformation est dominée par un processus de rupture fragile, tandis que, soumise à une vitesse de déformation faible, la roche mouillée montre des fragments de quartz envahis par de nouvelles cristallisations de quartz et la néo-formation de phyllosilicates. Ces faits indiquent que, dans ces conditions expérimentales, le processus de transport de matière par diffusion contrôle la déformation à faible vitesse de déformation. Cette interprétation s'appuie sur les données mécaniques qui indiquent un comportement visqueux linéaire.
Difficulties associated with paleo-stress estimates [+ Discussions]
Authors: White Stanley H. 
Published: October 2018

Nous discutons les difficultés associées aux estimations des paléo-contraintes à partir de l'observation des microstructures, des densités de dislocations et de la taille des sous-grains et des grains.
De nombreux problèmes existent ; en particulier les équations utilisées ne sont pas démontrées et on ne connaît pas des effets de la température et de la pression, ou ceux de la présence de phases d'impuretés et delà déformation et/ou la relaxation pendant le soulèvement.
De plus, les tailles mesurées des sous-grains et des grains dépendent de la technique utilisée pour leur détermination. On en conclut que les estimations actuelles sont seulement qualitatives et qu'un programme expérimental extensif est nécessaire avant que des estimations quantitatives puissent être faites.
Analyse de la formation des textures de déformations dans les polycristaux [+ Discussions]
Authors: Parnière Paul 
Published: October 2018

Ce texte fait le point des méthodes mises au point et utilisées pour analyser et prévoir la formation des textures de déformation dans les matériaux polycristallins. Il est divisé en trois parties :
— un exposé décrivant le cadre théorique général et les principes de base des modèles de déformation plastique des polycristaux et les hypothèses simplificatrices faites dans les différents modèles ;
— un exposé de la mise en œuvre du modèle de Taylor, illustré par quelques exemples pris dans le domaine de la métallurgie ;
— une discussion des limites de ce modèle mettant en évidence l'intérêt du modèle self-consistent à accommodation élastoplastique.
En conclusion, cette analyse est replacée dans le cadre plus général des études sur la formation des textures (déformation, changement de phase, solidification, recristallisation).
