Werner Herzogs Kurzfilm Ten Thousand Years Older: Eine kritische Lektüre aus den Perspektiven der Dekonstruktion und der Genealogie

Da kein Abstract des Artikels vorhanden ist, finden Sie hier den Beginn des Artikels: Werner Herzogs Kurzfilm Ten Thousand Years Older aus der Reihe Ten Minutes Older: The Trumpet erzählt zwei Geschichten: Die seiner eigenen Entstehung und die Geschichte dessen, weswegen die Produktion dieses Dokumentarfilms überhaupt in Angriff genommen wurde – wegen des «letzten der versteckten Stämme», gemeint ist ein Indiostamm im Amazonas-Regenwald.Eine konventionelle Lesart wird zum Schluss kommen, der Sinn desFilms oder seine Bedeutung liege darin, auf die Zerstörung der Kulturen der Ureinwohner aufmerksam zu machen, diese zu dokumentieren und öffentlich anzuprangern. Diese Lesart jedoch bleibt unzureichend, denn wir finden uns durch Herzogs Film vor einen unauflösbaren Zirkel gestellt: Der Untergang des Indianerstammes wird zwar durch das Kamerateam dokumentiert, aber erst nachdem dieses ihn selbst angestossen hat. Über den Film kann also solange nicht ausreichend gesprochen werden, als die Geschichte des Uru-Eu-Wau-Wau-Stammes – die zugleich als Beispiel für die Entwicklung des Menschen von einem ursprünglicheren Punkt dient – nicht mit der Geschichte dessen eins gesetzt wird, was deren Entwicklung zu Wege bringt. Wiederum stellt diese andere Geschichte, die der Film erzählt – die Geschichte vom Filmmaterial, das die Entdeckung des besagten Stammes zeigt – ebenfalls ein Beispiel dar, nämlich für die Entwicklung eines technisch-medialen Artefakts: Als Filmmaterial eines Expeditionsteams zeigt es, wie ein Dokumentarfilm entsteht

Relationships between neuropsychological and antisaccade measures in multiple sclerosis patients

Background: The Stroop test is frequently used to assess deficits in inhibitory control in people with multiple sclerosis (MS). This test has limitations and antisaccade eye movements, that also measure inhibitory control, may be an alternative to Stroop.Objectives: The aim of this study was twofold: (i) to investigate if the performance in the antisaccade task is altered in patients with MS and (ii) to investigate the correlation between performances in neuropsychological tests, the Stroop test and the antisaccade task.Methods: We measured antisaccades (AS) parameters with an infrared eye tracker (SMIRED 250 Hz) using a standard AS paradigm. A total of 38 subjects diagnosed with MS and 38 age and gender matched controls participated in this study. Neuropsychological measures were obtained from the MS group.Results: Patients with MS have higher error rates and prolonged latency than controls in the antisaccade task. There was a consistent association between the Stroop performance and AS latency. Stroop performance but not AS latency was associated with other neuropsychological measures in which the MS group showed deficits.Conclusions: Our findings suggest that AS may be a selective and independent measure to investigate inhibitory control in patients with MS. More studies are necessary to confirm our results and to describe brain correlates associated with impaired performance in the antisaccade task in people diagnosed with MS.The Vision Rehabilitation Lab and Antonio Filipe Macedo receive or received funding from Shamir Optical Industry Lt, Portugal, from grants PTDC/DTP-EPI/0412/2012 (Prevalence and Costs of Visual Impairment in Portugal) and UID/FIS/04650/2013 (Framework of the Strategic Funding granted to Centre of Physics at Minho University).

An unusual manifestation of acute appendicitis with left flank pain

The author presents a case with an unusual presentation of early appendicitis. The patient presented initially with left sided flank pain. Workup for nephrolithiasis, including non-contrast CT of the abdomen and pelvis was negative for renal stones or hydronephrosis. After discharge, the patient presented one week later in the ED with right lower quadrant pain. Contrast enhanced CT of the abdomen revealed perforated appendicitis

A new generation of journals is born

The 21st century has provided new technical and educational opportunities as well as challenges which have not been approached and exploited sufficiently by traditional scientific journals. Furthermore, case reports are usually “neglected” by traditional journals for a variety of reasons, including limited space in the hardcopy version of the journal issue and priority over original research and review articles. The Journal of Radiology Case Reports is a new generation of journals, which is dedicated to provide open-access, high-quality, peer-reviewed and interactive Radiology case reports
