One of the most interesting and important questions of operative gynecology was and is the question of surgical methods of treatment of uterine cancer. The task and purpose of each operative removal of a malignant neoplasm should be expressed, on the one hand, in its technical simplicity, and, on the other, in achieving the desired and final result, i.e., in the radical healing of the body, since the operation is undertaken under conditions with a predicted quo ad valetudinem, and not quo ad vitam. A whole galaxy of scientists, converging more or less in this complex and main goal of surgical intervention for uterine cancer, begins to break up into groups, as soon as it comes to the nature and extent of the spread of neoplasm in connection with the operative method, with indications and contraindications to it. These disagreements, depending both on the difficulty of determining in each given case microscopically the extent of cancer prevalence, and on the complexity of some of the problems, are the reason that the main surgical methods, such as: Amputatio infravaginalis colli uteri, supravaginalis, colpohysteroectomoectomia and laparohyster serve as controversial points in gynecology.

The treatment of inflammatory diseases of the female genitalia has long been one of the most important tasks of the gynecologist. With the development of surgery, surgical methods of treatment began to be applied: exudates were removed, the uterus and inflamed appendages were extirpated, etc.; but the danger of surgical intervention on the one hand, and on the other - the severe consequences of removal of organs such as ovaries, especially in young women - forced gynecologists to spend much effort in discovering and improving non-operative methods of treatment of inflammatory diseases of the female genital parts. Among these methods, physical methods such as water, mud, light baths, massage, etc., as well as those related to electricity have long been prominent.

Surgical treatment of any malignant neoplasm can make sense only when the possibility of relapses is taken into account and everything that can be achieved by art to eliminate them or prevent them. This is a principle that modern surgery persistently applies in the development of surgical methods for removing neoplasms, no matter in whatever area it develops. The greatest development in this direction has recently undergone surgery for breast cancer. At present, there can no longer be any question of removing, in addition to the neoplasm, only enlarged and infiltrated or suspicious glands, it is not enough even to remove healthy glands: in the form in which the details of this operation were developed by prof. Kocher), Watson Cheyne) and others, the removal of all tissue in the armpit and in the circumference of the musculi pectoralis majoris is a condition, the need for which can hardly be discussed. In a word, the removal of those tissues in which relapses develop more easily and most often is a rule adopted by modern surgery. Therefore, the principles that guide modern gynecology in the surgical treatment of uterine cancer seem to be completely random and poorly understood: in many cases, not the tissues that are most dangerous in the sense of relapse are removed, namely those in which relapses appear only as a rarity, or an exception and which more than others resist him.

Improvement of surgical methods of treatment of patients with malignant neoplasm of the oropharyngeal region increased the number of positive prognoses for the rehabilitation of patients with surgical defects. However, prosthetic care presents great difficulties for this patients because of complications during antitumor treatment. The treatment of malignant neoplasm leads to temporary and permanent lockjaws besides the disturbance of breath, swallowing, speech. Optimization of existing stages of prosthesis fabrication is necessary to improve the effectiveness of prosthetic care for patients with malignant neoplasm of the oropharyngeal region.

As virtually all Europe's major socialist parties re-aligned with their own national governments with the outbreak of World War I, Irish socialist and trade unionist James Connolly found himself internationally isolated by his vociferous opposition to the war. Within Ireland, however, Connolly's energetic and relentless calls to interrupt the imperial transportation and communications networks on which the ‘carnival of murder’ in Europe relied had the converse effect, drawing him into alignment with certain strains of Irish nationalism. Connolly and other socialist republican stalwarts like Helena Molony and Michael Mallin made common cause with advanced Irish nationalism, the one other constituency unamenable to fighting for England under any circumstances. This centripetal gathering together of two minority constituencies – both intrinsically opposed, if not to the war itself, certainly to Irish Party leader John Redmond's offering up of the Irish Volunteers as British cannon fodder – accounts for the “remarkably diverse” social and ideological character of the small executive body responsible for the planning of the Easter Rising: the Irish Republican Brotherhood's military council. In effect, the ideological composition of the body that planned the Easter Rising was shaped by the war's systematic diversion of all individuals and ideologies that could be co-opted by British imperialism through any possible argument or material inducement. Although the majority of those who participated in the Rising did not share Connolly's anti-war, pro-socialist agenda, the Easter 1916 Uprising can nonetheless be understood as, among other things, a near letter-perfect instantiation of Connolly's most steadfast principle: that it was the responsibility of every European socialist to throw onto the gears of the imperialist war machine every wrench on which they could lay their hands.

There is currently no consensus on the etiopathogenetic nature of endometriosis. The causes of aggressive, progressive, infiltrative growth of endometrioid tissue also remain unclear. An important problem remains the high recurrence rate of endometriosis, despite the availability of modern drug and surgical methods of treatment. The study of the central signaling pathways and the search for new key molecules is of paramount importance for a better understanding of the pathogenesis of the disease, and is also an important step in the development of new strategies for the diagnosis, prevention and treatment of endometriosis.

Epidemiological studies show an increase in the number of people with cancer. Bone metastases are a frequent manifestation of generalized cancer, because it is in malignant tumors of the spine more often than other bones of the skeleton becomes a target for metastasis. The article describes in detail the methods of diagnosis of spinal lesions in cancer pathology. Particular attention is paid to the scales reflecting the severity of the patient’s condition, the degree of spinal cord damage, the severity of pain in metastasis to the spine, the prognosis of survival in oncovertebrology and evaluation of the stability of the spine in metastatic lesions. Further, the paper presents non-radical (decompression, vertebroplasty) and radical (spondylectomy, corporectomy) surgical methods of treatment

The Woman Who Turned Into a Jaguar examines gender relations in indigenous societies of central Mexico and Oaxaca from the 1520s to the 1750s, focusing mainly on the Nahua, Ñudzahui (Mixtec), Bènizàa (Zapotec), and Ayuk (Mixe) people. This study draws on an unusually rich and diverse corpus of original sources, including Ñudzahui- (Mixtec-), Tíchazàa- (Zapotec-), and mainly Nahuatl-language and Spanish civil and criminal records, published texts, and pictorial manuscripts. The sources come from more than 100 indigenous communities of highland Mexico. The book considers women’s lives in the broadest context possible by addressing a number of interrelated topics, including: the construction of gender; concepts of the body; women’s labor; marriage rituals and marital relations; sexual attitudes; family structure; the relationship between household and community; and women’s participation in riots and other acts of civil disobedience. The study highlights subtle transformations and overwhelming continuities in indigenous social attitudes and relationships. The book argues that profound changes following the Spanish conquest, such as catastrophic depopulation, economic pressures, and the imposition of Christian marriage, slowly eroded indigenous women’s status. Nevertheless, gender relations remained inherently complementary. The study shows how native women and men under colonial rule, on the one hand, pragmatically accepted, adopted, and adapted certain Spanish institutions, concepts, and practices, and, on the other, forcefully rejected other aspects of colonial impositions. Women asserted their influence and, in doing so, they managed to retain an important position within their households and communities across the first two centuries of colonial rule.

AbstractBody ownership concerns what it is like to feel a body part or a full body as mine, and has become a prominent area of study. We propose that there is a closely related type of bodily self-consciousness largely neglected by researchers—experiential ownership. It refers to the sense that I am the one who is having a conscious experience. Are body ownership and experiential ownership actually the same phenomenon or are they genuinely different? In our experiments, the participant watched a rubber hand or someone else’s body from the first-person perspective and was touched either synchronously or asynchronously. The main findings: (1) The sense of body ownership was hindered in the asynchronous conditions of both the body-part and the full-body experiments. However, a strong sense of experiential ownership was observed in those conditions. (2) We found the opposite when the participants’ responses were measured after tactile stimulations had ceased for 5 s. In the synchronous conditions of another set of body-part and full-body experiments, only experiential ownership was blocked but not body ownership. These results demonstrate for the first time the double dissociation between body ownership and experiential ownership. Experiential ownership is indeed a distinct type of bodily self-consciousness.

AbstractThis paper is a self-reflective narrative of our teaching experience as two immigrant Asian female professors who teach Multicultural Education. Employing collaborative autoethnography (CAE), the study addresses the issues of authority, positionality, and legitimacy of knowledge claims in critical feminist pedagogy. Two research questions guided our inquiry: 1. How does a teacher’s racial positionality play out in exercising professional knowledge, and conversely, 2. How does seemingly neutral professional knowledge become racialized in the discussions of race? Major findings demonstrate the double-edged contradictions in the body/knowledge nexus manifested in our everyday teaching contexts. On the one hand, the bodily dimension of teacher knowledge is de-racialized because of institutional norms and cultures. On the other hand, there are times professional knowledge becomes racialized through the teacher’s body. Understanding the body/knowledge nexus that invites precarious power dynamics in racial discussions and even blatantly dismisses our professional knowledge, we, as an immigrant faculty of color, find it impossible to create a safe environment for participatory, critical discourse. Acknowledging our triple marginality, we put forth the concept of “pedagogy of fear” (Leonardo, Z., & Porter, R. K. (2010). Pedagogy of fear: Toward a Fanonian theory of ‘safety’ in race dialogue. Race, Ethnicity and Education, 13(2), 139–157) which squarely disrupts the idea of a safe environment in race dialog and urges teachers to confront their own/their students’ fear and create a space of teaching vulnerably.

AbstractThis article adopts a disability studies perspective to evaluate the ways in which Mauricio Kagel's Repertoire from Staatstheater reimagines human bodies. Objects and bodies interact in myriad ways within the one hundred vignettes of Repertoire: some objects hinder or aid the bodies on stage, while others become incorporated within the body, acting as a single expressive unit. My analysis demonstrates the ways in which both objects and bodies transform their traditional roles as ascribed by society, rejecting procrustean physiques. Using disability studies concepts such as embodiment and experientialism I evaluate sound and physical action as inextricable expressions of imaginative corporealities. Reflecting upon Kagel's identity as an outsider of the European avant-garde, as well as his irreverence for oppressive social institutions, I evince that other forms of hierarchical disruptions are at play, namely that abled bodies do not preside over disabled ones and notions of beauty hold no clout.
