Carl Florian Toldt was an Austrian anatomist who made meaningful contributions worldwide and defined what is one of the most important surgical landmarks in abdominal surgery. Through his research studies, the embryologic dissection plane known as the “White Line of Toldt” represents an important anatomical landmark that helps to mobilize either the ascending or descending colon. His career spanned over 45 years, beginning in Verona and continuing to Prague and Vienna. He was an author of several innovative books and scientific articles regarding micro- and macroscopic anatomy. In addition, he received numerous recognitions and prizes for his work, making him an essential figure in the medical scientific community. Even a street in Vienna, Karl-Toldt-Weg, is named in his honor. The purpose of this historical article is to celebrate and honor Toldt 100 years following his death, remembering his scientific contributions to the medical and surgical fields and giving thanks for his numerous accomplishments. This article brings light to the man behind the eponym.

Dauguma jų pašalinami endoskopiškai. Tačiau esant dideliems ir nepatogios lokalizacijos polipams reikia kitos metodikos. Viena iš tokių metodikų – laparoskopu asistuojama polipektomija. Operuotas vienas pacientas dėl nusileidžiančiojoje gaubtinės žarnos (colon descendens) dalyje esančio 6 cm polipo. Pooperacinis laikotarpis sklandus, komplikacijų nebuvo. Išvada – laparoskopu asistuojama polipektomija saugus ir patikimas operacijos būdas, kai polipo negalima pašalinti endoskopiškai.

Most of them are treated by endoscopic polipectomy. In some cases when polyp is to large or awkwardly located need to choice another method of treatment. One of them – laparoscopy assisted colonic polipectomy.One patient underwent operation for large, 6 cm polyp of descending colon. Postoperative period was successful, without any complications. Conclusion. Laparoscopy assisted polipectomy was secure method of treatment. Key words: polipectomy, laparoscopic assisted, colonic polipe

The critical communicative methodology has been developed by the Center of Research in Theories and Practices that Overcome Inequalities, CREA, as a research response to the dialogic turn of societies and sciences. It stresses that egalitarian dialogues between the scientific community and the lifeworld of the researched subjects are necessary to reach greater levels of social justice. For this dialogue to occur, the critical communicative methodology involves participants in all the stages, from the definition of the research questions until the interpretation and dissemination of results. In this article, we explain in depth the critical communicative methodology, its differences with other research approaches, the characteristics of the communicative organization of research studies, the communicative techniques for collecting empirical materials, and the communicative analysis. We also provide examples of the socio-political impact of Spanish and European research studies conducted with the critical communicative methodology to show the multiple ways through which dialogic research contributes to transform reality and improve the lives of the groups studied. The article is also a historical narrative that shows the ongoing development and impact of the critical communicative methodology over its now ten years of history.

Abstract Introduction: We dissected and described the macroscopic anatomy of the gastrointestinal tract of the donkey. Materials and Methods: Eleven domestic donkeys of both sexes from Tunisia were used for this study. Results: Although statistically insignificant, length values of the gastrointestinal tract pertaining to the females were generally higher than those pertaining to the males. The ostium cardiacum was very narrow and its diameter was 4.42 ± 0.57 mm in the males and 6 ± 1.22 mm in females. In the first part of the duodenum, we found papilla duodeni major and papilla duodeni minor. Both papillae were located very near to each other with a distance less than 1 cm and very near to the ostium pyloricum. The cecum was divided in parts of basis, corpus and apex. Three flexures divided the ascending colon into four parts: right ventral, left ventral, left dorsal and right dorsal. The cecum, left ventral colon and right dorsal colon had more evident sacculations (Haustra ceci and coli) (Figure 5). Teniae numbers were constant in all animals as 4, 4, 4, 1, 3 and 2 for cecum, right ventral colon, left ventral colon, left dorsal colon, right dorsal colon and descending colon, respectively. Conclusion: Although the gross anatomy of the intestines of the donkey was similar to the domestic horse in general, we detected some differences between these equine species.

Previous experimental measurements of the total white line intensities from L2,3 energy loss spectra of 3d transition metals reported a linear dependence of the white line intensity on 3d occupancy. These results are inconsistent, however, with behavior inferred from relativistic one electron Dirac-Fock calculations, which show an initial increase followed by a decrease of total white line intensity across the 3d series. This inconsistency with experimental data is especially puzzling in light of work by Thole, et al., which successfully calculates x-ray absorption spectra of the lanthanide M4,5 white lines by employing a less rigorous Hartree-Fock calculation with relativistic corrections based on the work of Cowan. When restricted to transitions allowed by dipole selection rules, the calculated spectra of the lanthanide M4,5 white lines show a decreasing intensity as a function of Z that was consistent with the available experimental data.Here we report the results of Dirac-Fock calculations of the L2,3 white lines of the 3d and 4d elements, and compare the results to the experimental work of Pearson et al. In a previous study, similar calculations helped to account for the non-statistical behavior of L3/L2 ratios of the 3d metals. We assumed that all metals had a single 4s electron. Because these calculations provide absolute transition probabilities, to compare the calculated white line intensities to the experimental data, we normalized the calculated intensities to the intensity of the continuum above the L3 edges. The continuum intensity was obtained by Hartree-Slater calculations, and the normalization factor for the white line intensities was the integrated intensity in an energy window of fixed width and position above the L3 edge of each element.
