Dobro kvalificiran i kao povjesničar i kao neposredni promatrač i sudionik u raznim aktivnostima današnjeg "ekumenskog pokreta", B.B. Beach, promatrač na Drugom vatikanskom saboru s lakoćom i preciznošću prolazi kroz povijesne pozadine i aktualna pitanja. Autorovo poznavanje ekumenskih povijesnih razvoja i aktualnih trendova u mnogim dijelovima svijeta omogućuju mu da na zanimljiv, koristan i autoritativan način ilustrira različite tvrdnje koje iznosi. On pošteno ukazuje na snažne doprinose suvremenog ekumenizma, ali i nepokolebljivo upozorava na njegove ranjive točke i slabosti. Značajno je da tijekom cijele njegove rasprave on opetovano ukazuje na biblijsku perspektivu u odnosu na različita pitanja s kojima se bavi.Well qualified both as an historian and a firsthand observer and participant in various activities of the present-day "ecumenical movement," B. B. Beach, an observer at the Vatican II., traverses with ease and accuracy both the historical backgrounds and the current issues. The author\u27s familiarity with historical antecedents and with current trends in many parts of the world enable him to illustrate in an interesting, helpful, and authoritative way the various points that he makes. He indicates with fairness modern ecumenism\u27s strengths and contributions, but also unflinchingly calls attention to its vulnerable points and weaknesses. And it is notable that throughout his discussion he repeatedly calls attention to the biblical perspective in relationship to the various issues with which he deals

Pancreatitis, very early compared with normal start of enteral feeding (PYTHON trial): design and rationale of a randomised controlled multicenter trial

Contains fulltext : 97199.pdf (publisher's version ) (Open Access)BACKGROUND: In predicted severe acute pancreatitis, infections have a negative effect on clinical outcome. A start of enteral nutrition (EN) within 24 hours of onset may reduce the number of infections as compared to the current practice of starting an oral diet and EN if necessary at 3-4 days after admission. METHODS/DESIGN: The PYTHON trial is a randomised controlled, parallel-group, superiority multicenter trial. Patients with predicted severe acute pancreatitis (Imrie-score >/= 3 or APACHE-II score >/= 8 or CRP > 150 mg/L) will be randomised to EN within 24 hours or an oral diet and EN if necessary, after 72 hours after hospital admission.During a 3-year period, 208 patients will be enrolled from 20 hospitals of the Dutch Pancreatitis Study Group. The primary endpoint is a composite of mortality or infections (bacteraemia, infected pancreatic or peripancreatic necrosis, pneumonia) during hospital stay or within 6 months following randomisation. Secondary endpoints include other major morbidity (e.g. new onset organ failure, need for intervention), intolerance of enteral feeding and total costs from a societal perspective. DISCUSSION: The PYTHON trial is designed to show that a very early (< 24 h) start of EN reduces the combined endpoint of mortality or infections as compared to the current practice of an oral diet and EN if necessary at around 72 hours after admission for predicted severe acute pancreatitis. TRIAL REGISTRATION: ISRCTN: ISRCTN18170985
