Historical Periods

The editions of Orvosi Hetilap published between 1857 and 1905 covered most of the contemporary aspects of digestive diseases. Most of knowledge was transferred from German, French and English literature. Aim: Evaluation of the papers dealing with the diseases of the gastrointestinal tract published in Orvosi Hetilap between 1905 and 1944. Method: The author manually reviewed the journal volumes published between 1905 and 1944. The original articles, journal and book reviews were identified and classified according to their subject and origin. The rate of publications of the editorial periods (1857 and 1904 vs 1905 and 1944) was statistically compared with that of certain historical periods (World Wars I and II, the years following the Trianon treaty). Results: Between 1905 and 1944, a total of 1101 original articles were publised about the diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, constituting 10.3% of the total publications. The rate of publications was decreased during World Wars I and II and the years following the Trianon treaty. The most studied diseases were that of the stomach and duodenum (21%), while hepatologic studies accounted for 16.4%. The proportion of basic science studies (anatomy, pathology, physiology) decreased to 3%. Endoscopy was studied in only 1.4% of the publications, while gastrointestinal radiology, as a newcomer, achieved a figure of 3.2%. 1695 publications were reviewed from 112 journals, constituting a significant increase as compared to the previous period. 74.6% of the reviews were published in 15 core journals. 57.1% of the journals were German, 19.6% were English/American and 16.9% French, showing the persistence of the major German influence. The number of book reviews slightly decreased from 116 to 95. Peptic ulcers were the most studied disease of the period and several alternative treatments were tried, all of which are now obsolate. Conclusion: The rate of gastroenterologic publications in Orvosi Hetilap increased considerably in 1905–1944, as compared to the prior period. The main sources of knowledge remained the German literature. Diseases of the stomach and duodenum, including peptic ulcers, were studied in most detail. The development of endoscopy was overshadowed by the emergence of radiology.

The Relationship

A serendipitous cure in a 73-year-old woman of Hunner’s ulcer, urge, nocturia, apical prolapse by a tissue fixation system tensioned minisling (TFS) which reinforced the cardinal, and uterosacral ligaments (USLs) led us to analyse the relationship between Hunner’s ulcer and known pain conditions associated with USL laxity. The original intention was to cure the “posterior fornix syndrome” (PFS), uterine prolapse, and associated pain and bladder symptoms by USL repair. A speculum inserted preoperatively into the posterior fornix alleviated pain and urge symptoms, by mechanically supporting USLs. Hunner’s ulcer, along with pain and other PFS symptoms were cured by USL repair. The concept of USL laxity causing chronic pelvic pain and bladder problems is not new. It was published in the German literature by Heinrich Martius in 1938 and by Petros in the English literature in 1993. These findings raise important questions. As PFS symptoms are identical with those of interstitial cystitis (IC), are PFS and IC similar conditions? If so, then patients with IC who have a positive speculum test are at least theoretically, potentially curable by USL repair. These questions need to be explored.

scholarly journals Echoes of the Infernal Machine: 1940s French and English Literature of Resistance and Collaboration as a Revolution in the Mythic Imagination

Mythic Imagination

This article comparatively examines French and English literature based on two novels published in 1947, Malcolm Lowry’s Under the Volcano and Jean-Louis Curtis’ The Forests of Night. Both novels employ the mythic device to construct narratives on the twilight of the British Empire and the German occupied French Vichy regime, respectively, depicting experiences of resistance and collaboration on the eve of and during the Second World War. Both invent a system of symbolic imagery modelled on the Surrealist template in Jean Cocteau’s The Infernal Machine, that turns the classical mythic device still prevalent in the early 20th century (i.e. in Joyce or Eliot) upside down. The revolution in Mythic Imagination follows the Structuralist Revolution initiated by Durkheim, Saussure and Bachelard, evacuating fixed ontological architecture to portray relational interdependency without essence. These novels pursue overlapping ethical investigations, on “non-interventionism” in Lowry and “fraternity” in Curtis. The novels raise questions about the relation between colonialism and fascism and the impact of non-Western mythic universes (i.e. Hinduism) upon the Mythic Imagination. They have implications for our understanding of gender relations, as well as the value of political activism and progress.

Sport Coaching

Globalization and advances in technology have created a context where knowledge changes and circulates faster than ever. In high-performance sport coaching, coaches increasingly move from country to country to join national teams – becoming ‘migrant coaches’. From a coach development perspective, it becomes relevant to investigate how coaches from different countries learn to coach and what would be their ideal sources of knowledge acquisition. Unfortunately, there is a major gap in the English literature regarding Asian coaches. Thus, a study with Chinese gymnastics (Gym) and rhythmic gymnastics (R-Gym) coaches has been conducted. Eighty coaches completed a questionnaire on their actual and ideal sources of knowledge acquisition; 16 of these were interviewed. Data show that the coaches acquired their knowledge (actual) mainly through ‘being an athlete’ and ‘having a mentor’. Ideally, they would like to have a better balance between these two sources and formal learning situations (courses, seminars, etc.). Another key finding is the barrier resulting from the lack of English knowledge, which is an important limit for Chinese coaches wishing to gather information from abroad, especially through the Internet.

Pathologic Features

Abstract The gastrointestinal tract is an unusual site for teratomas to occur. Only 4 prior cases of teratomas involving the cecum have appeared in the English literature, the latest published in 1977. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report to describe fine-needle aspiration cytologic findings in addition to histologic features of a mature cystic teratoma involving the gastrointestinal tract. A 30-year-old man presented with right upper quadrant abdominal pain and a palpable abdominal mass. Radiographic studies identified a mass lesion inferior to the liver and in close association with the ascending colon. Fine-needle aspiration biopsy showed scant keratinous material and anucleated squamous cells. Right colectomy revealed a cystic mass in the wall of the cecum that contained keratinous material and was lined by stratified granular squamous epithelium with sebaceous glands. Clinical and pathologic features with review of the literature are presented, and the differential diagnosis for pericolic cystic masses is discussed in detail.
