The possible legal implications of the failure of a mechanical prosthetic cardiac valve have been reviewed within the framework of the Nigerian legal system. This is the sequel to a clinical case we had recently, of primary mechanical failure of a cardiac prosthesis which led to the death of a 19-year-old medical student. A short account of the case as reported by the physicians is presented. As there has been no such case before any Nigerian Court, this review draws heavily upon salutary lessons from the USA and the UK, where such, or related, cases are more prevalent.

The paper outlines shareholder activism development in common law and civil law countries and identifies features of these legal systems that create preconditions and obstacles for shareholder activism. Our findings show that tendencies of shareholder activism depend on the type of the legal system, but also vary within the countries that share the same legal system. Thus, we conclude that the type of legal system is not the chief determinant of shareholder activism. A comparative analysis of shareholder activism in Germany and Ukraine (civil law countries) and the USA and the UK (common law countries) shows that the system of domestic corporate regulation, development of the stock market, companies’ capitalization and corporate governance influence the development of shareholder activism in equal measure.

This clinical case report represents our experience of treatment of 36 y. o. pregnant female patient who was previously undergone mitral valve replacement as she was 25. The operation was performed with the use of two leaflet mechanical prosthesis ‘MedEng No. 21’ (Russia). The patient was admitted to our hospital at 29th week of gestation with the signs of heart failure and pulmonary congestion because of prosthetic valve dysfunction. Delivery was performed by Caesarean section followed by mitral valve reprosthetics. In order to stop obstetric bleeding before heparin injection internal iliac arteries was ligated. Total time of extracorporeal circulation was 89 minutes, and myocardial ischemia — 64 minutes. Normothermic perfusion was performed. Mother and newborn were discharged from the hospital in a normal stable state. The childbearing ability of the mother was preserved.

Somatic Symptom Disorders

AbstractFactitious disorder is classified as one of the five aspects of somatic symptom disorders. The fundamental element of factitious disorder is deception, i.e., pretending to have a medical or psychiatric disorder, but the enactment of deception is considered unconscious. Indeed, volition, i.e., the perception of deliberate deception, is blurred in patients presenting with factitious disorder. In the USA and the UK, factitious disorder has received constant media attention because of its forensic implications and outrageous costs for the National Health Systems. Unfortunately, a comparable level of attention is not present in Italian National Health System or the Italian mass media. The review analyzes the classifications, disorder mechanisms, costs, and medico-legal implications in the hope of raising awareness on this disturbing issue. Moreover, the review depicts 13 exemplification cases, anonymized and fictionalized by expert writers. Finally, our paper also evaluates the National Health System’s expenditures for each patient, outlandish costs in the range between 50,000 and 1 million euros.

Lasting Influence

The study introduces a Hungarian economic thinker, István Varga*, whose valuable activity has remained unexplored up to now. He became an economic thinker during the 1920s, in a country that had not long before become independent of Austria. The role played by Austria in the modern economic thinking of that time was a form of competition with the thought adhered to by the UK and the USA. Hungarian economists mainly interpreted and commented on German and Austrian theories, reasons for this being that, for example, the majority of Hungarian economists had studied at German and Austrian universities, while at Hungarian universities principally German and Austrian economic theories were taught. István Varga was familiar not only with contemporary German economics but with the new ideas of Anglo-Saxon economics as well — and he introduced these ideas into Hungarian economic thinking. He lived and worked in turbulent times, and historians have only been able to appreciate his activity in a limited manner. The work of this excellent economist has all but been forgotten, although he was of international stature. After a brief summary of Varga’s profile the study will demonstrate the lasting influence he has had in four areas — namely, business cycle research and national income estimations, the 1946 Hungarian stabilisation program, corporate profit, and consumption economics — and will go on to summarise his most important achievements.
