"Unity that sanctifies diversity". Cottesloe revisited by E. van der Borght

“…This article tries to find out whether the theological arguments developed within the ecumenical movement are solid enough to withstand the threat of divisions on the basis of race, nation, tribe, and ethnicity that have the potential to tear apart the one church of Christ. In order to answer the questions the historical and textual background of the text of the Cottesloe Consultation is analyzed. …”

Identification of Adamkiewicz artery by 4D flow MRI and intra-arterial ultra-high-resolution CT angiography in preoperative assessment of patients with chronic aortic dissection: A... by Satoshi Higuchi, MD, PhD, Yuta Sato, MD, Hideki Ota, MD, PhD, Ryuichi Mori, RT, Yuki Ichinoseki, RT, Hitoshi Nemoto, RT, Shingo Kayano, RT, Kiichiro Kumagai, MD, PhD, Yoshikatsu Saiki, MD, PhD, Kei Takase, MD, PhD

“…In a 45-year-old man with chronic aortic dissection requiring thoracoabdominal aortic repair, conventional contrast-enhanced CT or MR angiography failed to detect AKA due to the large entry tear and an enlarged false lumen. Intra-arterial ultra-high-resolution CT angiography combined with hemodynamic assessment using 4D flow MRI successfully identified the AKA, allowing for aortic repair with targeted intercostal artery reconstruction without postoperative signs of spinal cord ischemia.…”

Ocular Surface Development and Gene Expression by Shivalingappa K. Swamynathan

“…The ocular surface—a continuous epithelial surface with regional specializations including the surface and glandular epithelia of the cornea, conjunctiva, and lacrimal and meibomian glands connected by the overlying tear film—plays a central role in vision. Molecular and cellular events involved in embryonic development, postnatal maturation, and maintenance of the ocular surface are precisely regulated at the level of gene expression by a well-coordinated network of transcription factors. …”

IOP-lowering therapy and ocular surface in glaucoma. Part 1. The effects of drug substances of glaucoma medications on the ocular surface by A.V. Antonova, V.P. Nikolaenko, V.V. Brzheskiy

“…Long-term pharmacotherapy results in tear film instability and tear hyperosmolarity. Dose- and exposition-dependent loss of goblet cells, corneal epithelial toxicity, meibomian gland dysfunction, increased activity and expansion of fibroblasts, and pro-inflammatory cytokine release from goblet cells account for the development and progression of symptoms and signs of dry eye as demonstrated by progressive deterioration in Ocular Surface Disease Index (OSDI), Norn’s test, and Schirmer’s test. …”
