Histological changes associated with laser interstitial thermal therapy for radiation necrosis: illustrative cases
Authors: Fomchenko Elena I. , Leelatian Nalin , Darbinyan Armine , Huttner Anita J. , Chiang Veronica L. 
Published: July 2022

BACKGROUND
Patients with lung cancer and melanoma remain the two largest groups to develop brain metastases. Immunotherapy has been approved for treatment of stage IV disease in both groups. Many of these patients are additionally treated with stereotactic radiosurgery for their brain metastases during ongoing immunotherapy. Use of immunotherapy has been reported to increase the rates of radiation necrosis (RN) after radiosurgery, causing neurological compromise due to growth of the enhancing lesion as well as worsening of associated cerebral edema.

OBSERVATIONS
Laser interstitial thermal therapy (LITT) is a surgical approach that has been shown effective in the management of RN, especially given its efficacy in early reduction of perilesional edema. However, little remains known about the pathology of the post-LITT lesions and how LITT works in this condition. Here, we present two patients who needed surgical decompression after LITT for RN. Clinical, histopathological, and imaging features of both patients are presented.

LESSONS
Criteria for selecting the best patients with RN for LITT therapy remains unclear. Given two similarly sized lesions and not too dissimilar clinical histories but with differing outcomes, further investigation is clearly needed to identify predictors of response to LITT in the setting of SRS and immunotherapy-induced RN.
Benign eccrine spiradenoma imitating a nerve sheath tumor: illustrative case
Authors: Bowman Kelsey M. , Bennett Daniel D. , Hanna Amgad S. 
Published: July 2022

BACKGROUND
Benign eccrine spiradenoma is a rare tumor arising from the sweat glands and is a pathology that is almost never encountered in routine neurosurgical practice. Although this is a rare pathology, it is one that should be included in the differential diagnosis for a patient presenting with a painful, subcutaneous mass, because it can guide further treatment considerations.

OBSERVATIONS
The authors present a case of benign eccrine spiradenoma that mimicked a nerve sheath tumor in clinical presentation, imaging characteristics, and gross appearance.

LESSONS
Complete local excision of these lesions is the gold standard treatment, because they are painful, and there are reports of local recurrence and malignant degeneration with incomplete resection. For this reason, neurosurgeons should be sure to include this in the differential diagnosis of a patient with a painful, subcutaneous mass, because it may help to guide management decisions.
Intracerebral mucormycosis after COVID-19: illustrative cases
Authors: Nohman Amin I. , Ivren Meltem , Klein Sabrina , Khatamzas Elham , Unterberg Andreas , Giese Henrik 
Published: July 2022

BACKGROUND
In this case report the authors present two female patients with intracranial mucormycosis after coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).

OBSERVATIONS
The first patient was a 30-year-old woman with no past medical history or allergies who presented with headaches and vomiting. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computed tomography of the skull showed an endonasal infection, which had already destroyed the frontal skull base and caused a large frontal intracranial abscess. The second patient was a 29-year-old woman with multiple pre-existing conditions, who was initially admitted to the hospital due to a COVID-19 infection and later developed a hemiparesis of the right side. Here, the MRI scan showed an abscess configuration in the left motor cortex. In both cases, rapid therapy was performed by surgical clearance and abscess evacuation followed by antifungal, antidiabetic, and further supportive treatment for several weeks.

LESSONS
Both cases are indicative of a possible correlation of mucormycosis in the setting of severe immunosuppression involved with COVID-19, both iatrogenic with the use of steroids and previous medical history. Furthermore, young and supposedly healthy patients can also be affected by this rare disease.
First reported single-surgeon transpalpebral hybrid approach for indirect cavernous carotid fistula: illustrative case
Authors: Cappuzzo Justin M. , Baig Ammad A. , Metcalf-Doetsch William , Waqas Muhammad , Monteiro Andre , Levy Elad I. 
Published: July 2022

BACKGROUND
Failure to reach the cavernous sinus after multiple transvenous attempts, although rare, can be challenging for neurointerventionists. The authors sought to demonstrate technical considerations and nuances of the independent performance of a novel hybrid surgical and endovascular transpalpebral approach through the superior ophthalmic vein (SOV) for direct coil embolization of an indirect carotid cavernous fistula (CCF), and they review salient literature regarding the transpalpebral approach.

OBSERVATIONS
An illustrative case, including patient history and presentation, was reviewed. PubMed, MEDLINE, and Embase databases were searched for articles published between January 1, 2000, and September 30, 2021, that reported ≥1 patient with a CCF treated endovascularly via the SOV approach. Data extracted included sample size, treatment modality, surgical technique, performing surgeon specialty, and procedure outcome. The authors’ case illustration demonstrates the technique for the hybrid transpalpebral approach. For the review, 273 unique articles were identified; 14 containing 74 treated patients fulfilled the inclusion criteria. Oculoplastic surgery was the most commonly involved specialty (5 of 14 studies), followed by ophthalmology (3 of 14). Coiling alone was the treatment of choice in 12 studies, with adjunctive use of Onyx (Medtronic) in 2.

LESSONS
The authors’ technical case description, video, illustrations, and review provide endovascular neurosurgeons with a systematic guide to conduct the procedure independently.
Giant anterior sacral meningocele associated with hydroureteronephrosis and renal injury: illustrative case
Authors: Loiola Lucas , Henriques Vinícius M. , Moreira Carlos A. S. , Gregório Vinícius , Vasconcelos Fernando A. , Schmidt Alexandre M. , Guedes Fernando 
Published: July 2022

BACKGROUND
Anterior sacral meningocele (ASM) is a defect in the closure of the neural tube. Patients can be asymptomatic or present with genitourinary, neurological, reproductive, or colorectal dysfunction. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is the gold standard test because it can assess communication between the spinal subarachnoid space and the lesion and identify other abnormalities. Surgical correction is the definitive treatment because untreated cases have a mortality rate of more than 30%.

OBSERVATIONS
A 24-year-old woman with Marfan syndrome presented with polyuria, recurrent urinary tract infections, and renal injury for 3 months along with a globose abdomen, with a palpable mass in the middle and lower third of the abdomen that was massive on percussion. MRI showed an ASM consisting of two cystic lesions measuring 15.4 × 14.3 × 15.8 and 6.7 × 6.1 × 5.9 cm, respectively, compressing the distal third of the right ureter and causing a hydroureteronephrosis. Drainage and ligature of the cystic lesion were performed. The urinary outcome was excellent, with full recovery after surgery.

LESSONS
ASM should be suspected in all abdominal masses with progressive symptoms in the setting of Marfan syndrome. Computed tomography and MRI are important to investigate genitourinary anomalies or other types of dysraphism to guide the best surgical approach.
Diffuse symptomatic pneumocephalus after biportal endoscopic spinal surgery: illustrative case
Authors: Yang Chien-Tung , Chiu Cheng-Di , Wu Chih-Ying 
Published: July 2022

BACKGROUND
Percutaneous endoscopic lumbar decompression is gaining attention as a minimally invasive surgery. Here, the authors report a rare complication of pneumocephalus caused by vacuum drain after biportal endoscopic spinal surgery (BESS) for lumbar stenosis.

OBSERVATIONS
A 79-year-old woman with spinal stenosis over the L4–5 level received BESS. No visible dural tear was encountered during surgery, and a vacuum drain was placed after surgery. Approximately 150 mL of cerebrospinal fluid was drained on postoperative day 1. Simultaneously, symptoms of intracranial hypotension were noted. Brain computed tomography (CT) revealed pneumocephalus. The patient was advised to have bed rest and hydration, and her symptoms improved subsequently. Follow-up brain CT indicated the resolution of pneumocephalus.

LESSONS
Pneumocephalus after endoscopic lumbar surgery is rare. Dural tear, high rate of normal saline irrigation, and vacuum drain placement are the associated risk factors.
Pediatric skull fracture with injury and thrombosis of the superior sagittal sinus: illustrative case
Authors: Zoerner Douglas M. , Reardon Taylor , Miller Brandon A. 
Published: July 2022

BACKGROUND
Cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (VST) is a complication of head injury and can be secondary to sinus compression by depressed skull fractures. Fracture elevation is a treatment option for VST secondary to extrinsic compression, but conservative management may also be effective. Venous sinuses can also be lacerated from skull fractures, resulting in epidural or subdural hematomas. The authors presented a case of sagittal sinus injury and thrombosis from a depressed skull fracture that caused a subgaleal hematoma. The injury was successfully managed conservatively.

OBSERVATIONS
A 14-year-old boy presented after a head injury with a diastatic, depressed parietal bone fracture. Computed tomography venogram showed disruption and occlusion of the superior sagittal sinus with a subgaleal hematoma in continuity with the injured sagittal sinus. Because of concern for hemorrhage if tamponade on the sinus was removed, the patient was treated nonsurgically. At follow-up, the sinus had recanalized and the fracture had healed.

LESSONS
Skull fractures with underlying sinus thrombosis can be managed conservatively with good outcome. Careful assessment for venous sinus injury should be made before undertaking fracture elevation to relieve sinus compression.
The Concept of «Knowledge» in the Pentateuch and the Books of the Prophets. Part 2: Knowledge as Tradition
Authors: Аржанов Юрий Николаевич 
Published: July 2022

Данная статья продолжает серию публикаций, посвящённых феномену знания в двух первых частях ветхозаветного канона, в Пятикнижии и Пророках. В центре внимания исследования - процесс передачи знания как традиции. В первой части статьи рассматривается история формирования канона Танаха и основные общественные группы древнего Израиля, которые играли ключевую роль в формировании, передаче и трансформации традиции, а также доступные нам сведения о формах обучения в древнем Израиле. Вторая часть посвящена «закону» как центральному понятию Танаха, его основным значениям во Второзаконии и в книгах так называемой священнической традиции. Особое место уделяется соотношению понятий «закон» и «знание Бога» в Книге пророка Осии.
The article continues the series of publications on the phenomenon of knowledge in the first two parts of the Old Testament canon, the Pentateuch and the Prophets. It focuses on the process of the transmission knowledge in the form of tradition. The first part of the article deals with the history of development of the canon of the Hebrew Bible and with the major social groups in ancient Israel that played a key role in the creation, transmission, and transformation of the tradition. It also sums up the available data on the forms of learning in ancient Israel. The second part of the article is devoted to the concept of Law, its main characteristics in the Deuteronomy and in the so-called «priestly» tradition. One of the sections deals with the relationship between «law» and «the knowledge of God» in Hosea.
Journal «Apocrypha. Le champ des apocryphes». Bibliographical Review. Part 1: 1990-1991
Authors: Вевюрко Илья Сергеевич 
Published: July 2022

Журнал «Апокрифы» выходит в бельгийском издательстве «Бреполь» (г. Тюрнхаут) с 1990 г. Задачей учреждения этого периодического издания было, по словам редакторов, «превращение старинного объекта эрудиции в новый предмет для исторической реконструкции». Первые два номера журнала представляют материалы симпозиума по апокрифическому нарративу в честь столетия проведённой в Париже в 1986 г. религиоведческой секции Практической школы высших исследований. Выпуски «Апокрифов» 1990 и 1991 г. в целом задают основные координаты изучения апокрифической литературы в обзоре истории вопроса, в подборке тем (частных, но выводящих на широкую перспективу), в системе терминов, наименований и сиглов. Ряд статей, представленных в этих выпусках, содержит рассмотрение таких апокрифов, как «Оракулы сивиллы», «Апокалипсис Элкасая», «Учение Аддая апостола», Третья книга Ездры, «Акты Пилата», «Деяния апостола Андрея», «Детство Иисуса», «Видение св. Павла». Тематика других статей имеет более обобщающий характер: историография библейских апокрифов; представления о посмертной каре в апокалипсисах; еврейская апокалиптика эпохи Второго храма; образы женщин в апокрифических деяниях апостолов; армянская апокрифическая литература; апокрифы, связанные с апостолом Петром; вопрос об эзотерических традициях в раннем христианстве; производство апокрифических текстов в Византии; апокрифические сюжеты в иконографии. Особую ценность представляет список аббревиатур архивов и периодических изданий, опубликованный в первом номере журнала.
The study of apocryphal literature, old and new testamentical, and also gnostic, is important for theology, biblical studies and the history of religions. Even in ancient times it was recognized that the apocrypha contain the material of tradition, but their character of mixing orthodoxy with heterodoxy did not allow the Church fathers to include them in the canon, and therefore their reception was carried out through the selection of motifs in oral tradition, painting, etc. At present, these written documents serve as a source for both church tradition and the history of heresies and non-Christian religious movements. The scientific journal «Apocrypha» has been published in the Belgian publishing house «Brepols» (Turnhout) since 1990. The task of establishing this periodical was, according to the editors, «to transform the old object of erudition into a new subject for historical reconstruction». The first two issues of the journal present the materials of the symposium on apocryphal narrative in honor of the centenary of the Religious Studies Section of the École pratique des hautes études, held in Paris in 1986. These issues in general set the main coordinates of the study of apocryphal literature in the review of the history of the issue, in a selection of topics (separate, but leading to a broad perspective), in the system of terms, names and sigla.
Bibliographic Overview of Scientific Works of Boris A. Turaev on Ethiopistics
Authors: Гусарова Екатерина Валентиновна 
Published: July 2022

Тураев Борис Александрович как историк и филолог существенно расширил источниковую базу мировой эфиопистики, выступив на рубеже XIX-XX вв. новатором в этой весьма консервативной сфере гуманитарного знания. Он продолжил заложенную Б. А. Дорном традицию преподавания языка геэз на историко-филологическом факультете Санкт-Петербургского университета. Б. А. Тураев слыл знатоком литургики и глубоко верующим человеком. Эфиопия привлекала его, в первую очередь, как одно из древнейших христианских государств, сохранившее на протяжении всей своей задокументированной истории веру во Христа. Учёный сфокусировал внимание на богослужебной и житийной литературе Эфиопской Церкви. Ниже приведён обзор его работ, полностью или частично затрагивающих тему Эфиопии и её изучения, большинство из них по сей день не потеряли своей актуальности.
Boris A. Turaev as a historian and philologist significantly expanded the source base of Ethiopian studies all over the world. At the turn of the XIX-XX centuries he became an innovator in this highly conservative field of humanitarian knowledge. He continued the tradition of teaching the Geez language established by B. A. Dorn at the Faculty of History and Philology of St. Petersburg University. Boris A. Turaev was known as a connoisseur of liturgy and a deeply religious person. Ethiopia attracted him, first of all, as one of the most ancient Christian countries, which preserved the faith in Christ throughout all its documented history. The scientist focused his research on the liturgical and hagiographic literature of the Ethiopian Church. An overview of his works, in whole or in part touching on the topic of Ethiopia and its studies is here presented. The most part of these works are still relevant.
Reconstruction of the Design of the General Entrance to the Mine Temple at Abu Erteila by Surviving Architectural Details
Authors: Vetokhov Sergey V. 
Published: July 2022

The Russian-Italian mission has been conducting archaeological excavations of the temple complex at Abu Erteila (Sudan) since 2009. In recent years, two temples of different sizes have been discovered – the so-called main and small, belonging to the Meroitic period of the Kingdom of Kush.
The earlier analysis of the architectural details found near the main temple and the comparative analysis of its layout with similar temples of the same period allowed to make its general reconstruction, but there were still open questions about the details of the decoration of the general, internal and lateral passages of the temple.
Temples built with combined materials (mud brick, fired brick and sandstone), such as the temple at Abu Erteila, have been preserved in a severely damaged state and not all of them have been fully published or reconstructed. Therefore, this reconstruction was mainly based on the sandstone temples, the details of which are better preserved and which have been reconstructed.
The analysis of the shape, surfaces and plasters of the architectural details allows to ground some of them as belonging to the decoration of the general entrance to the temple and make conjecture about the location on the main (east) facade.
The general entrance features an architrave above the entrance, ending in a two-tiered cavetto cornice but without a crowning uraeus frieze; the corner elements of the cornice had a vertical rectangular incision, the only known analogue of which decorates the entrance to the lion temple at Musawarat as-Sufra.
Although the ancient builders were guided in the details by sandstone constructions, the use of simpler materials (mud brick and fired brick) may still have imposed restrictions on the choice of decoration elements towards the simpler ones.
Israeli Parlamentarism in XXI Century: Electorial Failure or System Crises?
Authors: Karasova Tatiana A. 
Published: July 2022

Just within three years Israel experienced four consecutive Knesset electoral campaigns (in April and September 2019; March 2020 and March 2021). However, neither leader of the permanently ruling since 2009 center-right Likud party Benjamin Netanyahu, no his electoral opponents were able to form in any way stable coalition Government. In fact the electoral campaign during this period due to the uncompromised rivalry between the major party blocs never terminated. In March 2021, at last, the anti-Netanyahu bloc managed to win electionsand form the coalition government. Such situation that hardly had any precedent in Israeli political history, as well as the obvious deadlock that Israeli political system appeared poses several questions that yet to find their comprehensive answer in the academic literature. Do we deal with a situational political &quot;glitch&quot;, which - exactly as it had happened in the past, could be resolved at some point? Or, on the contrary, do we observe here the systematic crises of the party and political system of this country, which basic foundations were constructed long before the declaration of the State of Israel itself? Finally, considering similar political trends in other Western countries, could we talk about the general crises of the European-style parliamentary democracy model, the one that during the past centuries was believed to be the optimal political structure framework for modern and contemporary ethnic national and civic national states? While analyzing the Israeli experience the authors of this article intend to answer a part of these and related questions.
Not just Institutions: what is behind the change in the tra-jectory of the Turkish economy growth in the second decade of the XXI century
Authors: Ul’chenko Nataliya Yu. 
Published: July 2022

The article analyzes the factors of Turkey&apos;s economic growth slowdown since the beginning of the second decade of the XXI century. And although most often unfavorable trends in the development of the institutional environment are focused on, the reduction in the volume of external financing is probably no less significant. The latter circumstance led to a certain decrease in the rate of investment and noticeable reduction in the level of private consumption.
The slowdown of growth rate can also be considered as a result of Turkey’s start sliding into the &quot;middle income trap&quot;. The factor that pre-viously provided growth but is much exhausted by today is not cheap labor force as in many other countries, but easy coming external financing. Its decrease caused a reduction in private consumption below the level that until recently prevented sliding into the &quot;trap&quot;. As for the main reasons of external sources shortage investors&apos; distrust of financial stabilization in Turkey due to the lack of the necessary institutions, in particular this one to control the level of the budget deficit and state interference in the operation of market mechanisms, as well as the imprudent, sometimes provocative President Erdogan’s foreign policy should be mentioned. Thus, the slow-down in the Turkish economy is based on a shortage of external capital in-flow, caused in turn by institutional factors. The latter circumstance makes the process of immersion &quot;into the trap&quot; formally reversible. Still there is a question about the productivity of returning to Turkey’s previous model ofeconomic development.
An Emotional Ecology of Pigeons in Early Modern England and America
Authors: Morgan John Emrys 
Published: July 2022

Abstract
This article explores the feelings English people had about, and with, pigeons in early modern England and America. In so doing, the paper uses the concept of an emotional ecology, an understanding of emotion that is situated in a web of relations with other creatures and things. To do this, the paper outlines the context of everyday interactions with pigeons in England and uses these contexts to explore how rural tenants felt about the pigeons in their midst. Hungry, fecund and gregarious, pigeons cut a divisive figure in the English landscape. Legal sanction and customary practice marked them as privileged while a wide range of other potential agricultural pests were enthusiastically suppressed. We then look at how settler colonists experienced an abundance of American pigeons, particularly the Passenger Pigeon which would be hunted to extinction in the nineteenth century. Together, this story provides an example of how environments, culture and emotions are mutually, if not equally, constitutive.
