The author investigates why the term “scientific library” may not be accepted as a separate class within the classification of libraries based on structural systematization. She also reviews the idea of the scientific library as seen by the national science in the 1930s when this phenomenon was first conceptualized. The concept by Dmitry D. Ivanov is examined; he made distinction between the two library processes: generation of library documents and their delivery to users. The author emphasizes the closeness of D. Ivanov’v ideas to her own interpretation of “the public library” concept. She concludes that the libraries of any structure (public or private individual) may support science though we may not identify a separate class of the scientific libraries within the general library classification based on structural systematization. However, the author does not rule out building an isolated classification where the concept of “the scientific library” will be divided into two types in accordance with the concept structure, namely “the public scientific library” and “private use library”. Further division would be similar to that of the general classification. The author considers the concept of “the research library” to be optional for the national library science.

Abstract Background: The pathophysiologic and clinical relevance of cardiac natriuretic hormone (CNH) assays has been investigated in numerous experimental and clinical studies. Authors have sought to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy and prognostic relevance of the measurement of CNHs according to evidence-based laboratory medicine principles. Methods: In June 2003, we ran a computerized literature search on National Library of Medicine using keywords “ANP” and “BNP” and found more than 12 300 and 1200 articles, respectively. A more refined search with keywords “ANP or BNP assay” extracted ∼7000 and 800 articles, respectively. Only studies specifically designed to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy and prognostic relevance of CNH measurements were selected from this huge mass of articles to be discussed in this review. Content: Several studies suggested that CNH assays may be clinically useful for the screening and classification of patients with heart failure, as a prognostic marker in cardiovascular disease, in the follow-up of patients with heart failure, and because they may reduce the need for further cardiac investigation. However, it is difficult to compare even the best-designed studies because not only did the authors evaluate different populations, they also used different gold standards. Conclusions: CNH assays and conventional diagnostic work-ups provide complementary information for evaluation of the presence and severity of cardiac dysfunction and clinical disease. Several aspects of CNH assays are still to be elucidated, and further work is needed to carefully assess their diagnostic accuracy and prognostic value in cardiac disease.

Context.—Barrett esophagus is a metaplastic, premalignant lesion associated with approximately 0.5% annual incidence of progression to esophageal adenocarcinoma. Diagnosis and screening of Barrett esophagus and Barrett-related dysplasia relies on histologic evaluation of endoscopic mucosal biopsies, a process that is burdened with interobserver variability. Objectives.—To review the histologic features and classification of Barrett esophagus and Barrett-related dysplasia, to discuss the underlying difficulties in diagnosis and pitfalls, and to provide a brief review of new developments related to therapeutic modalities for patients diagnosed with dysplasia. Data Sources.—Sources include a review of relevant literature indexed in PubMed (US National Library of Medicine). Conclusions.—In spite of interobserver variability, histologic assessment of dysplasia is currently the accepted method of surveillance, and subsequent patient management is dictated by this evaluation. Although not universal, endoscopic therapy is increasingly important in replacing esophagectomy for patients with high-grade dysplasia or early carcinoma.

The purpose of this study is to identify and analyse services on the websites of national libraries of Russia. The author presents definition of the concept “library (library and information) service” and highlights the essence of these services. The article analyses how the services are presented on the official websites of national libraries: the Russian State Library (RSL), the National Library of Russia (NLR) and the Presidential Library named after B. Yeltsin (PL). The author uses the following methods: analysis of texts of library sites, comparison, generalization, classification analysis. RSL names the services on the main page of the website and provides the list of fee-based services. NLR also demonstrates services twice, but more complete list presents on the main page of the site. PL does not provide the full list of services on the website, but lists some services in the section “Access to Resources” (also, the site presents “The Price List of fee-based services (works)”. Electronic services of national libraries of Russia are allocated.The author characterizes classification of services on the website of each national library. Analysis of these services shows that they are not presented comprehensively (most fully in the RSL), and the services are called and classified by libraries in different ways. Users accessing different national libraries are not always able to understand exactly what services are described there.The article proposes classification of library and information services developed by the author. The classification is based on two attributes: the object that is requested by the user (document, reference, etc.), and the place of service. This classification can be used by both national and other libraries.

Context Accurate classification of follicular-patterned thyroid lesions is not always an easy task on routine surgical hematoxylin-eosin–stained or cytologic fine-needle aspiration specimens. The diagnostic challenges are partially due to differential diagnostic criteria that are often subtle and subjective. In the past decades, tremendous advances have been made in molecular gene profiling of tumors and diagnostic immunohistochemistry, aiding in diagnostic accuracy and proper patient management. Objective To evaluate the diagnostic utility of the most commonly studied immunomarkers in the field of thyroid pathology by review of the literature, using the database of indexed articles in PubMed (US National Library of Medicine) from 1976–2013. Data Sources Literature review, authors' research data, and personal practice experience. Conclusions The appropriate use of immunohistochemistry by applying a panel of immunomarkers and using a standardized technical and interpretational method may complement the morphologic assessment and aid in the accurate classification of difficult thyroid lesions.

Context.—Developed in conjunction with molecular and progression data, the sequence classification schema for endometrial intraepithelial neoplasia (EIN)/benign hyperplasia (BH) provides an easy to adopt and reproducible method for classification of endometrial biopsies. Objective.—To review current data supporting the use of BH/EIN to classify endometrial biopsies, and to discuss the hormone-driven endometrial sequence from anovulation/disordered proliferative endometrium through BH and EIN and their diagnostic difficulty. Data Sources.—A comprehensive review of EIN literature based on literature indexed by PubMed (National Library of Medicine) and Google Scholar. Conclusions.—The BH/EIN schema is gaining wider acceptance among pathologist and clinicians. The research leading to the EIN criteria is based on molecular and progression data. The BH/EIN schema has better reproducibility among pathologists, is intuitively easy to use, and requires understanding of endometrial physiology and neoplasia.

Musical Genres

This article, based exclusively on examples that the author has recorded from the oral tradition of the Sephardic Jews, presents the three main genres of the Sephardic traditional repertoire, romancero, coplas and cancionero. These three poetic and musical genres show the vitality, the richness and the variety of the Judeo-Spanish repertoire and have received focused attention by literary scholars and musicologists, through intensive fieldwork, recordings, analysis and interviews. This article presents a system of classification of the repertoire according to interdisciplinary parameters. All the examples belong to those the author has collected in work at the Jewish Music Research Center of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. The recordings from her own fieldwork (1974–2014), together with those of other scholars, resulted in the world’s richest collection of the Judeo-Spanish repertoire, and is stored and catalogued at the National Sound Archives of the Israel National Library, open to scholars, singers and lovers of the Judeo-Spanish tradition.

Abstract Purpose Transperineal ultrasound (TPUS) is a practical tool for assessing perianal inflammatory lesions. We systematically review its accuracy for detecting and classifying perianal fistulae and abscesses. Method The National Library of Medicine and Embase were searched for articles on TPUS for the assessment of idiopathic and Crohn’s perianal fistulae and abscesses. Two reviewers independently reviewed eligible studies and rated them for quality using the QUADAS tool. The primary outcome measure was the accuracy of TPUS as measured by its sensitivity and positive predictive value (PPV) in detecting and classifying perianal fistulae, internal openings and perianal abscesses. Results We included 12 studies (565 patients). Overall, the methodological quality of the studies was suboptimal. 3 studies were retrospective and 4 showed significant risks of bias in the application of the reference standard. The sensitivity of TPUS in detecting perianal fistulae on a per-lesion basis was 98 % (95 % CI 96 – 100 %) and the PPV was 95 % (95 % CI 90 – 98 %). The detection of internal openings had a sensitivity of 91 % (95 % CI 84 – 97 %) with a PPV of 87 % (95 % CI 76 – 95 %). The classification of fistulae yielded a sensitivity of 92 % (95 % CI 85 – 97 %) and a PPV of 92 % (95 % CI 83 – 98 %). TPUS had a sensitivity of 86 % (95 % CI 67 – 99 %) and PPV of 90 % (95 % CI 76 – 99 %) in the detection of perianal abscesses. Conclusion The current literature on TPUS illustrates good overall accuracy in the assessment of perianal fistulae and abscesses. However, many studies had methodological flaws suggesting that further research is required.

Performing Art

Performing art is part of our national cultural heritage and in Norway we have good traditions for preserving the cultural heritage. For many years, however, performing arts was an art field where cultural heritage work was weak. During the last 10–15 years, this work has been strengthened. In this article, I will give an introduction to the work of a national digital performing arts archive that was developed during this period: Sceneweb – which is owned and operated by Performing Arts Hub Norway (PAHN). The Sceneweb database is a professional system adapted for the classification of performing art material. It is an object-based relational database which can function as an authority register and national standard for the recording of performing art material. In this article, I outline the choices that lie behind the development of this system, and for our national plan for the preservation and dissemination of archival material. I also explain our extensive cooperation with the National Library.
