    Introduction of study: This study portrays the European Journal of International Law\u27s published data from 2006 - 2019, indexed in the Scopus-Elsevier database. Methodology: The retrieved data tabulated in MS Office Excel Sheet. The author\u27s role and collaboration, type of documents, and association of the first author with the country aimed to explore the issue and year wise frequency of publications. Results: Total 739 documents published and distributed in seven categories original articles 582; 78.7%, followed by 59; 8% review articles and 56; 7.5% editorials got the top slot in the publications. Single or solo authors wrote the documents produced by 841; 1.1% authors, majority 621; 84%; research papers. The affiliation of the first author belongs to forty-three countries. In this study, The United Kingdom on the top slot with 147; 19.8% publications, followed by United States 119; 16.1%, and Italy 118; 16%. Twelve articles published in random years got a maximum of 348 and a minimum of 100 citations. Conclusion: The European Journal of International Law regularly publishes a consistent approach and promotes international law writings. This journal\u27s dynamic is the facilitation of translations from French, Spanish, Italian and German languages to the English language

    What We Would Have Done Differently Now That It Is Too Late

    Get PDF
    We might as well begin on a note of candor by admitting the worst error we ever made, for of all the things that we would have done differently this surely heads the list. On the errata page of volume 8 appears the note: Volume 4, p. 309, n. 1. The man wrongly identified as Robert Brown Elliott [a black man] was actually William Elliott, a white man. The letter to BTW, Apr. 25,1898, was from Rev. G. M. Elliott of Beaufort, S.C. Not only had we confused a black man with a white man and another black man, but in a display of erudition we gratuitously had mentioned a letter that Elliott-the wrong Elliott-wrote to Booker T. Washington fourteen years after our own annotation indicated his death date. And they say that dead men tell no tales. At least there were no errata in our erratum. Such a compounding of errors could only have been achieved by a committee. For most of our annotations, we are able to trace back responsibility by checking the raw data notes, but in this case these had mysteriously disappeared. It all reminds us of the famous Nast cartoon about the Tweed ring. It shows a circle of bloated politicians. The caption reads, Who Stole the People\u27s Money? Each man is pointing his finger at the man on his left. That is our worst error yet, but we still have to do the cumulative index with its infinite possibilities. Without trying to explain away an error that gross, we can only say that it is the kind of error that occurred only once, and occurred in spite of our editorial method rather than because of it. Most of the other outright errors were less egregious: misspelled names; failure to annotate at first mention-we now have a system for that; and attributing to the A. M. E. Church what should properly be credited to the A. M. E. Zion Church-there is a man in Atlanta who reads our volumes apparently for no other purpose than to catch any slighting of his church

    What We Would Have Done Differently Now That It is Too Late

    Without trying to explain away an error that gross, we can only say that it is the kind of error that occurred only once, and occurred in spite of our editorial method rather than because of it. Most of the other outright errors were less egregious: misspelled names; failure to annotate at it appeared in the original, though we doubt that history was changed by the omission of that particular punctuation. We would still continue to correct obvious typographical errors in typewritten or printed documents. Maybe a type does reveal something deeply hidden, but is it deeply hidden in the author or the stenographer? Only a psycho-historian can analyze all the typos of a lifetime and reach conclusions as to their psychological significance, and for that he would surely want to see the originals, to see if the typist was agitated enough to punch out all the O\u27s

    Red cell distribution width (RDW) as a predictor of cardiovascular outcomes in extensive aortoiliac disease

    Introdução: A doença arterial periférica aorto-ilíaca pode originar claudicação limitante do membro inferior ou isquemia ameaçadora do membro inferior crónica, que se associam a um aumento da morbi-mortalidade a curto e a longo prazo. O coeficiente de variação da amplitude de distribuição dos glóbulos vermelhos (RDW-CV) tem sido capaz de prever eventos em várias doenças ateroscleróticas, como o enfarte agudo do miocárdio e o acidente vascular cerebral. O principal objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar a capacidade preditiva do RDW-CV peri-operatório em predizer com precisão eventos cardiovasculares adversos major (MACE) e mortalidade por todas as causas a curto e a longo prazo em doentes submetidos a revascularização aorto-ilíaca devido a doença aorto-ilíaca aterosclerótica extensa. Métodos: De 2013 a 2020, os pacientes submetidos a revascularização aorto-ilíaca por doença aorto-ilíaca grave foram incluídos numa coorte prospetiva. Foram colhidas amostras de sangue no período pré-operatório e os dados demográficos, as comorbilidades e os resultados pós-operatórios dos pacientes foram analisados. O modelo de regressão multivariável de Cox foi utilizado para ajustar os fatores de confundimento e para avaliar o efeito independente destes fatores prognósticos sobre os resultados. Resultados: 107 pacientes foram incluídos no grupo de estudo. O acompanhamento médio foi de 57 (95% CI 34,4-69,6) meses. O RDW-CV pré-operatório estava aumentado em trinta e oito pacientes (35,5%). O aumento do RDW-CV foi associado a insuficiência cardíaca congestiva odd's ratio ajustado de 5,043 (IC 95% 1,436-17,717, p=0,012) e conseguiu prever a ocorrência a longo prazo de MACE (hazard ratio ajustado, aHR = 1,065, IC 95% 1,014-1,118, p = 0,011), mortalidade por todas as causas (aHR = 1,069, IC 95% 1,014-1,126, p = 0,013) , insuficiência cardíaca aguda (AHF) (aHR=1,569, IC 95% 1,179-2,088, p=0,002) e acidente vascular cerebral (aHR=1,343, IC 95% 1,044-1,727, p=0,022). Conclusão: O RDW-CV é um marcador amplamente disponível e de baixo custo que foi capaz de predizer independentemente a ocorrência a longo prazo de insuficiência cardíaca aguda, acidente vascular cerebral, MACE e mortalidade por todas as causas em pacientes com doença aorto-ilíaca extensa submetidos à revascularização. Este biomarcador pode ajudar a avaliar quais os pacientes que provavelmente beneficiariam de um acompanhamento mais rigoroso a longo prazo.Background: Aortoiliac peripheral artery disease may lead to disabling lower limb claudication or to lower limb chronic threatening ischemia, which is associated with increased short and long-term morbi-mortality. The red blood cell distribution width-coefficient of variation (RDW-CV) has been able to predict outcomes in other atherosclerotic diseases, such as myocardial infarction and stroke. The main objective of this study was to assess the predictive ability of perioperative RDW-CV in accurately predicting short and long-term major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) and all-cause mortality in patients submitted to aortoiliac revascularization due to extensive aortoiliac atherosclerotic disease. Methods: From 2013 to 2020, patients who underwent aortoiliac revascularization due to severe aortoiliac disease were included in a prospective cohort. Blood samples were taken preoperatively and the patient's demographics, comorbidities, and postoperative outcomes were assessed. A multivariate Cox regression model was used to adjust for confounding and assess the independent effect of these prognostic factors on the outcomes. Results: The study group included 107 patients. Median follow-up was 57 (95% CI 34.4-69.6) months. Preoperative RDW-CV was increased in thirty-eight patients (35.5%). Increased RDW-CV was associated with congestive heart failure - adjusted odds ratio of 5.043 (95% CI 1.436-17.717, p=0.012). It could predict long-term occurrence of MACE (adjusted hazard ratio, aHR=1.065, 95% CI 1.014-1.118, p=0.011), all-cause mortality (aHR=1.069, 95% CI 1.014-1.126, p=0.013), acute heart failure (AHF) (aHR=1.569, 95% CI 1.179-2.088, p=0.002), and stroke (aHR=1.343, 95% CI 1.044-1.727, p=0.022). Conclusions: RDW-CV is a widely available and low-cost marker that was able to independently predict long-term AHF, stroke, MACE, and all-cause mortality in patients with extensive aortoiliac disease submitted to revascularization. This biomarker could help assess which patients would likely benefit from stricter follow-up in the long-term
