Sebastian Brant and the Northern Renaissance

It is the purpose of this paper to investigate the response of Sebastian Brant, one of the leading figures of German Humanism in the late fifteenth century, to the changes that the Renaissance stirred in Northern Europe. By concentrating in particular on his vernacular works, an attempt will be made to determine the elements in Brant\u27s life and thought that were inspired by this Renaissance movement. Another aspect of Sebastian Brant that will be analyzed is the manner in which he differed from the basic trends of the Northern European Renaissance. Finally, Brant will be placed among the ranks of his contemporaries in an effort to evaluate his true status as a representative of this particular intellectual mood. The complexities of Sebastian Brant\u27s life and thought were the results of the overall confusion existing in the late fifteenth-century Europe. It was a period of vast transition, and Brant reflected this tumult

The Catholic University in Transition: The Case of Sacred Heart University

It sheds a great deal of light on the last three decades of American Catholic higher education

Predicting postoperative troponin in patients undergoing elective hip or knee arthroplasty: A comparison of five cardiac risk prediction tools

BACKGROUND: Elderly patients undergoing hip or knee arthroplasty are at a risk for myocardial injury after noncardiac surgery (MINS). We evaluated the ability of five common cardiac risk scores, alone or combined with baseline high-sensitivity cardiac troponin I (hs-cTnI), in predicting MINS and postoperative day 2 (POD2) hs-cTnI levels in patients undergoing elective total hip or knee arthroplasty. METHODS: This study is ancillary to the Genetics-InFormatics Trial (GIFT) of Warfarin Therapy to Prevent Deep Venous Thrombosis, which enrolled patients 65 years and older undergoing elective total hip or knee arthroplasty. The five cardiac risk scores evaluated were the atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease calculator (ASCVD), the Framingham risk score (FRS), the American College of Surgeon\u27s National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (ACS-NSQIP) calculator, the revised cardiac risk index (RCRI), and the reconstructed RCRI (R-RCRI). RESULTS: None of the scores predicted MINS in women. Among men, the ASCVD ( CONCLUSION: In elderly patients undergoing elective hip or knee arthroplasty, several of the scores modestly predicted MINS in men and correlated with POD2 hs-cTnI
