Розвиток закордонної релігійної періодики УАПЦ в екзилі на прикладі часопису «Життя і Церква» (The Development of Foreign Religious Periodicals of Ukrainian Autocephalous Orthodox Church in Exile on the Example of the Magazine Life and Church)

Тези присвячені історії української православної церкви закордоном. У центрі уваги – внутрішнє життя церкви, яке репрезентувалося на шпальтах релігійної періодики. На прикладі такого видання як «Життя і церква», з’ясовано інформаційне наповнення публікацій на сторінках подібних журналів. Різноплановий характер поданих у них відомостей є важливим джерелом до вивчення історії українського релігійного життя в діаспорі, особливостей церковного повсякдення. Вони також виступають ключем до розуміння методів збереження національної ідентичності та релігійної самобутності в чужому соціокультурному середовищі. (The author presents the history of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church abroad. The main attention is focused on the internal life of the church, that is represented on the pages of religious periodicals. Using the magazine Life and Church as an example, the author of the research illustrates the typicality of the content of such kind of a publication. Versatile character of the content is an important source to study the history of the Ukrainian religious life in the Diaspora, as well as the features of everyday life in church. They also act as a key to understanding the methods of preserving national and religious identity in another sociocultural environment.

Distribution of change of treatment on ICU patients dependent on tumor size.

<p>Patients were assigned to the indicated groups dependent on meningioma size. Tumor size of > 6 cm is significantly more often associated with a change in postoperative treatment compared to a tumor size of < 3 cm (p<0.005) and 3–6 cm (p<0.05, Fisher’s exact test)</p

MRI-detection rate and incidence of lumbar bleeding sources in 190 patients with non-aneurysmal SAH

<div><p>Background</p><p>Up to 15% of all spontaneous subarachnoid hemorrhages (SAH) have a non-aneurysmal SAH (NASAH). The evaluation of SAH patients with negative digital subtraction angiography (DSA) is sometimes a diagnostic challenge. Our goal in this study was to reassess the yield of standard MR-imaging of the complete spinal axis to rule out spinal bleeding sources in patients with NASAH.</p><p>Methods</p><p>We retrospectively analyzed the spinal MRI findings in 190 patients with spontaneous NASAH, containing perimesencephalic (PM) and non-perimesencephalic (NPM) SAH, diagnosed by computer tomography (CT) and/or lumbar puncture (LP), and negative 2nd DSA.</p><p>Results</p><p>190 NASAH patients were included in the study, divided into PM-SAH (n = 87; 46%) and NPM-SAH (n = 103; 54%). Overall, 23 (22%) patients had a CT negative SAH, diagnosed by positive LP. MR-imaging of the spinal axis detected two patients with lumbar ependymoma (n = 2; 1,05%). Both patients complained of radicular sciatic pain. The detection rate raised up to 25%, if only patients with radicular sciatic pain received an MRI.</p><p>Conclusion</p><p>Routine radiological investigation of the complete spinal axis in NASAH patients is expensive and can not be recommended for standard procedure. However, patients with clinical signs of low-back/sciatic pain should be worked up for a spinal pathology.</p></div
