Clear Presentation

Until now, in Russian literature, there was only one original guide to operational obstetrics, on which a whole generation of Russian doctors and obstetricians were brought up. This is a major work of Academician A. Ya. Krassovsky ("Operational obstetrics with the inclusion of a study on the irregularities of the female pelvis"), which has already been published in 4 editions. The undoubted and generally recognized qualities of this manual: completeness, detailed and clear presentation of each operational application, as well as indications and contraindications, detailed historical and literary references, etc., make it a classic study and such a book of each specialty obstetric. But for students and practical doctors it is rather difficult to use the manual of Academician Krassovsky, since its study requires a lot of time, which students and practical doctors usually do not have.This, in my opinion, explains a fairly significant number of translated short textbooks of operational obstetrics (Stahl) on lectures 'a, (Schaut'а, Fritsch'а, etc.), appearing in print.

One of the most severe complications during childbirth is the separation of the tattoo from the vaginal arches (from the sleeve). Hugenberger was the first to draw attention to the ruptures of the vaginal fornix and gave them the name colpaporrhexis . They occur much less frequently than ruptures of the uterus, which is evident from the following: Belousov (1910) collected only about 100 cases, and that, apparently, exclusively from Russian literature; in a major work on this issue, Brindeau and Lerne land stated that the frequency of this kind of complications of labor is difficult to establish, since statistics on this issue do not exist. Obviously, the specific nature of this severe complication is characteristic of Russian obstetrics. Indeed, the statistics of Shchetkin and Belousov is based mainly on domestic casuistry (Guggenberger, Syromyatnikov, Vernits, Lvov, Poroshin, Kutova, Brunoit. E).

This article is to be understood as a general introduction to Thomas More, the humanist. Confronted with the new ideas coming from the rest of Europe, More is influenced by the rediscovery of Greek texts. With his humanist friends, William Lily and Erasmus, he becomes a translator, a poet, a polemicist and a fiction writer. The article starts by defining the terms Renaissance and Humanism, laying the stress of the secularization of thought, and continues by recalling Thomas More’s action against the rigidity of Oxford University in the battle about Greek. The humanist’s portrait then continues with the evocation of More’s qualities as a pedagogue, a poet and a dialogue writer to finish with More’s role as a reformer and an Epicurean in his major work Utopia. The conclusion insists on the re-affirmation of man in the Renaissance world.

This review essay introduces the work of the Egyptian scientific historian and philosopher Roshdi Rashed, a pioneer in the field of the history of Arab sciences. The article is based on the five volumes he originally wrote in French and later translated into Arabic, which were published by the Centre for Arab Unity Studies and which are now widely acclaimed as a unique effort to unveil the achievements of Arab scientists. The essay reviews this major work, which seems, like Plato’s Republic to have “No Entry for Those Who Have No Knowledge of Mathematics” written on its gate. If you force your way in, even with elementary knowledge of computation, a philosophy will unfold before your eyes, described by the Italian astronomer Galileo Galilei as “written in that great book which ever lies before our eyes—I mean the universe—but we cannot understand it if we do not first learn the language and grasp the symbols, in which it is written. This book is written in the mathematical language, and the symbols are triangles, circles and other geometrical figures, without whose help it is impossible to comprehend a single word of it; without which one wanders in vain through a dark labyrinth.” The essay is a journey through this labyrinth where the history of world mathematics got lost and was chronicled by Rashed in five volumes translated from the French into Arabic. It took him fifteen years to complete.
