Phlebosclerotic colitis (PC) is a rare, potentially life-threatening disease of unclear pathogenesis almost exclusively reported in Asian patients of both genders. A fibrous degeneration of venous walls leads to threadlike calcifications along mesenteric vessels and colonic wall thickening, detectable by CT. This causes disturbed blood drainage and hemorrhagic infarction of the right-sided colonic wall. This is a report of PC in a Caucasian woman in Europe without Asian background and no history of herbal medications, a suspected cause in Asian patients. CT revealed no calcification of the mesenteric vein or its tributaries. Instead, submucosal veins of the left-sided colonic wall were calcified, leading to subsequent transmural necrosis. Clinically, the patient developed a paralytic ileus and sigmoidal perforation during a 2-week hospitalization due to a bleeding cerebral vascular aneurysm. This case of a European woman with PC is unique in its course as well as its radiologic, clinical, and pathologic presentation.

In 1998, on the 200th anniversary of her first apparition, the image of the Virgin Mary, which had appeared to a group of martyrs in La Vang, Vietnam (and was known as Our Lady of La Vang), was transformed from a European woman into a Vietnamese woman. The change was initiated by Vietnamese Catholics in southern California, who then exported the Vietnamized image to Catholic communities in Vietnam and other parts of the world. Today, the image of Our Lady of La Vang has become a global representation of the Virgin Mary as an Asian woman

On the 50th anniversary of the Treaty of Rome, the non-profit organisation Musée de l’Europe staged the exhibition It’s our history!. The subject of It’s our history! was the history of European integration from 1945 to today. The exhibition was intended to make European citizens aware that – as the exhibition’s manifesto stated: ’The History, with a capital H, of European construction is inextricable from our own personal history, that of each European citizen. It is not the reserve of those that govern us. We all shape it, as it shapes us, sometimes unbeknown to us. It’s our history!’ One of the means that the Musée de l’Europe chose as an illustration of this supposed interrelation of History and history are video testimonies in which 27 European citizens (one from each European member state) tell their own life stories. The present article explores this use of autobiographical accounts as didactic means in It’s our history!. The article argues that through the 27 Europeans, an image of European woman/man and European integration is advanced that glosses over internal conflicts in Europe’s recent history, leads to the construction of a model European citizen and serves as a symbol for the slogan ’unity in diversity’ in which Europe appears as more united than diverse.

In May 1831, the 26-year-old French nobleman, Alexis de Tocqueville (1803-1859), arrived in the United States, and departed its shores in February 1832, only nine months late. His analysis of the American way of life which he wrote in 1835 as a result of his visit, remains, even today, one of the great classics in political literature. Tocqueville had this to say about the freedom of the adolescent American girl: In the United States, the doctrines of Protestantism are combined with great political liberty and a most democratic state of society; and nowhere are young women surrendered so early so completely to their own guidance. Long before an American girl arrives at the marriageable age, her emancipation from maternal control begins: she has scarcely ceased to be a child, when she already thinks for herself, speaks with freedom, and acts on her own impulse. The great scene of the world is constantly open to her view: far from seeking to conceal it from her, it is every day disclosed more completely, and she is taught to survey it with a firm and calm gaze. Thus the vices and dangers of society are early revealed to her; as she sees them clearly, she views them without illusion, and braves them without fear; for she is full of reliance on her own strength, and her confidence seems to be shared by all around her. An American girl scarcely ever displays that virginal softness in the midst of young desires, or that innocent and ingenuous grace, which usually attend the European woman in the transistion from girlhood to youth.

OBJECTIVE: To report a case of warfarin–amoxicillin/clavulanate potassium (AM/CL) interaction resulting in an elevated international normalized ratio (INR) and hematuria. CASE SUMMARY: A 58-year-old Hawaiian/Asian/European woman developed an elevated INR and microscopic hematuria as a result of a drug–drug interaction between warfarin and AM/CL. DISCUSSION: Our report of an increased INR with bleeding complications as a result of an interaction between warfarin and AM/CL is consistent with those in the literature. Although the mechanism for this interaction is not fully known, it is suspected that a decrease in vitamin K–producing gut flora with resulting vitamin K deficiency would be the most likely contributing factor. An objective causality assessment revealed that this adverse drug event as a result of the warfarin and AM/CL interaction was possible. CONCLUSIONS: An increased INR secondary to warfarin interactions with various antibacterial agents is a known phenomenon. An increased awareness of warfarin–AM/CL interaction and appropriate monitoring are essential to control the INR levels and prevent bleeding complications.
