Endogenous Endophthalmitis in COVID-19 Patients

Intrinsic endophthalmitis is indeed behavior that causes eye disease that spreads into the bloodstream from a distant primary site. The intraocular disease caused by hematogenous microbial proliferation is known as indigenous endophthalmitis. Extrinsic and intrinsic endophthalmitis are the two types of endophthalmitis that exist. The presence of an external point of entry is linked to extrinsic endophthalmitis. Intrinsic endophthalmitis is a kind of septicemia caused by a blood-borne infection. Endophthalmitis is a disease of all the inner coating of the eyeball except the sclera and cornea, which is accompanied by substantial, increasing vitreous swelling. Endophthalmitis is a severe ocular crisis with severe visual and general consequences. An exterior injury of the entrance, such as injury, operation, or an inflamed cornea, is the most prevalent route of entry for potential pathogens. Endophthalmitis has a complex etiology, with many pathogenic species and substantial regional heterogeneity. The treatment of endophthalmitis has evolved dramatically during the last century. Endophthalmitis induced by direct inoculation dissemination of pathogenic microbes is a rare occurrence that occurs most commonly in sick or disadvantaged people. Intravenous medication usage, diabetes mellitus, immunological impairment, cancer, prolonged hospitalization, or systemic antibiotic therapy have all been linked to a 0.04 percent incidence rate. Haden described metastatic endophthalmitis in a seriously sick patient with pneumococcal cerebrospinal encephalopathy treated with intravenously anti-meningococcal serum in the 1918 volume of the Journal Ophthalmology. Endogenous endophthalmitis, unlike extrinsic endophthalmitis, needs comprehensive systemic antibiotic treatment. In indigenous endophthalmitis, the illness originates not in the eye but elsewhere in the body. As a result, it is necessary to obtain comprehensive cultures. Patients are sometimes unable to carry out their functions in society or household. As a rest, the person cannot cope financially and socially in his environment. Many social and influential factors are disturbed, and the patients are often depressed. Cosmetically the surgeries are not satisfying. Artificial prosthetics can be used, but they're seldom of minimum functional importance. Such interventions can be helpful for the patient. The focus should be made to deliberately save the patients and not just the cosmetic value of the surgery. Persons with chronic endophthalmitis had more excellent eyesight than people with symptomatic or subacute endophthalmitis. Improvements in eyesight were observed in individuals with persistent or subacute keratitis several months after the surgery more frequently than in people with symptomatic endophthalmitis. Nevertheless, in 40 percent of the overall all instances with an abrupt start, there have been no improvements or even decrease in visual acuity.

Becoming Québécois: Édouard and the Duchesse de Langeais between Old Worlds and New in the work of Michel Tremblay

Our identity is formed in large part by the way we see others and the way others, in their turn, see us. This is true both of Québec and of Édouard, one of the principal characters of the fictionalised Montréal universe of Michel Tremblay. A representative of the pre-1970s socio-economic inequality of French-Canadians, Édouard is further marginalised by his homosexuality. In his transvestite persona as the Duchesse de Langeais, a revised version of a Balzacian heroine, he undertakes a mocking critique of the injustices of his society from the ‘external’ point of view of this supposed French aristocrat before seizing the opportunity of an actual visit to France, hoping to find there a freer and more equitable society. But the Old World turns out to be unwelcoming and antiquated, making Édouard more aware of the hitherto unperceived advantages of his life in Montréal. Returning home, his only option is to resume his role as a provocative duchess, preparing the ground for the advent in 1976 of a modern Québec, a francophone society of the New World, internationally recognised for its openness of mind and its cultural dynamism.

FBG-Based Estimation of External Forces Along Flexible Instrument Bodies

A variety of medical treatment and diagnostic procedures rely on flexible instruments such as catheters and endoscopes to navigate through tortuous and soft anatomies like the vasculature. Knowledge of the interaction forces between these flexible instruments and patient anatomy is extremely valuable. This can aid interventionalists in having improved awareness and decision-making abilities, efficient navigation, and increased procedural safety. In many applications, force interactions are inherently distributed. While knowledge of their locations and magnitudes is highly important, retrieving this information from instruments with conventional dimensions is far from trivial. Robust and reliable methods have not yet been found for this purpose. In this work, we present two new approaches to estimate the location, magnitude, and number of external point and distributed forces applied to flexible and elastic instrument bodies. Both methods employ the knowledge of the instrument’s curvature profile. The former is based on piecewise polynomial-based curvature segmentation, whereas the latter on model-based parameter estimation. The proposed methods make use of Cosserat rod theory to model the instrument and provide force estimates at rates over 30 Hz. Experiments on a Nitinol rod embedded with a multi-core fiber, inscribed with fiber Bragg gratings, illustrate the feasibility of the proposed methods with mean force error reaching 7.3% of the maximum applied force, for the point load case. Furthermore, simulations of a rod subjected to two distributed loads with varying magnitudes and locations show a mean force estimation error of 1.6% of the maximum applied force.

La idea trascendental del hombre: reflexiones antropológicas desde las "Ideas" de 1913

Este artículo explora tanto las dificultades como las posibilidades de la idea de una antropología filosófica de base o fundamento fenomenológico. Toma como punto de partida los aspectos críticos que, desde un punto de vista externo a la propia fenomenología, se oponen a la posibilidad u opacan la necesidad trascendental de la antropología filosófica; y se propone como meta la exposición de aquellos elementos que, desde el punto de vista antropológico, son fundamentales para comprender las motivaciones de la emergencia de este ‘problema antropológico’ en el contexto de la fenomenología trascendental.This paper explores the problems as well as the feasability about the idea of a philosophical anthropology with a phenomenological basis. Its starting point is the critical issues that, from an external point of view to phenomenology itself, preclude the possibility or tran-scendental necessity of a philosophical anthropology. The objective is to disclose those elements that from an anthropological point of view are fundamental to understanding the motives of the emergence of this 'anthropological problem' within the context of transcendental phenomenology

THE PROBLEM OF POINT OF VIEW IN TEXT WITH AN «UNRELIABLE» NARRATOR (BASED ON THE MATERIAL OF V. NABOKOV'S STORY «THE EYE»)

The subject of the article: The article raises several urgent problems of narratology - the question of the «unreliable» narrator in the text, his point of view on the events underlying the history. This paper examines the internal and external point of view in a work with an «unreliable» narrator. A work with an «unreliable» narrator organizes a special point of view on the event hypothesis is put forward. The material is the narrator of V. Nabokov`s story «The Eye». In this text, the narrator's point of view on events, himself in these events and the characters reveals a split into external and internal. The narrator's play with the point of view forms a special type of «unreliable» narrator, which allows the author not only to create an experimental narrative, but also to raise the philosophical problems of memory, self-identification, and consciousness.

Migrazione alla ricerca di un’identità in La stagione della migrazione al nord di al-Ṭayyib Ṣāliḥ

The novel by Al-Ṭayib Ṣāliḥ The Season of Migration to the North is a classic of the post-modern Arabic literature. The critical literature of the last century has privileged the post-colonial interpretation. One of the aims of this essay is to reveal the inner reality of the main characters, who are not seen from an external point of view, but within a closer relationship with the reader.

Metaphors, Judicial Frames, and Fundamental Rights in Cyberspace

How do legal imagination, metaphors, and the “judicial frame” impact the degree of protection for free expression when the relevant (technological) playground is the world of bits? This Article analyzes the so-called judicial frame, focusing on legal disputes relating to freedom of expression on the Internet. The authors compare the European Court of Human Rights and the U.S. Supreme Court case law from a methodological perspective. The Article shows how the adoption by supreme courts of an internal or external point of view in relation to the Internet affects not only the use of different metaphors to describe the digital world, but also the balance struck between the fundamental rights at stake.

Construction, Preservation, and the Presence of Self in Observer Memory

Observer memories involve a representation of the self in the memory image, which is presented from a detached or external point of view. That such an image is an obvious departure from how one initially experienced the event seems relatively straightforward. However, in my book on this type of imagery, I suggested that such memories can in fact, at least in some cases, accurately represent one’s past experience of an event. During these past events there is a sense in which we adopt an external perspective on ourselves. In the present paper, I respond to a critical notice of my book by Marina Trakas. Trakas argues that my account of observer memory unfolded against the background of a problematic preservationist account of episodic memory, and that I failed to adequately account for the presence of self in observer memory. I respond these worries here, and I try to clarify key points that were underdeveloped in the book.

On Imitation, Inspiration, and Authenticity

This chapter considers the existentialist conception of authenticity and how it may be possible to achieve despite the natural human capacity for imitation and in light of inspiration for which one might look to others. It argues against taking any existentialist philosopher’s life as a model for authentic living, while also considering the inspiration Kierkegaard found in Socrates and Nietzsche found in Schopenhauer. Apart from the unremarkability, from an external point of view, of some existentialist philosopher’s lives, others may be ethically problematic, as exemplified by Heidegger and his entanglement in nationalist politics. This chapter suggests that the ethical failure on Heidegger’s part contradicts the existentialist conception of authenticity, which demands singularity and responsibility over and above group identification.
