It is generally understood that the American typographer Bruce Rogers (1870-1957) sought to imitate the typography of the past in an attempt to revive historical styles of past original works, as well as to reanimate the aesthetic sensibilities that were of their moment. This was especially the case where Rogers designed books for the Grolier Club, a private bibliographic society in New York City (established in 1884). In this article, I seek to interrogate the assessment of Rogers' design of books in light of his recognition that works of the past engendered dissatisfaction. Rogers' typographic design, what he referred to as 'allusive typography', sought to address this perceived impoverishment in reconstitutions of past works to meet the aspirations and anxieties of early twentieth-century traditionalist typography. © The Author(s) [2018].

Trans-nasal Tendon Suspension for the Paralyzed Lower Eyelid

April 2015 · Journal of Plastic Reconstructive & Aesthetic Surgery

Paralytic ectropion is a significantly functional and esthetic problem leading to problems with lacrimation, corneal exposure, and poor palpebral closure. Limitations with traditional corrective procedures include poor apposition of the lid to the globe, suboptimal medial canthal position, and high recurrence rates. The objective of this study was to develop a technique of lower-lid suspension ... [Show full abstract] using transnasal wiring for the long-term maintenance of lid position. Twenty-three consecutive patients with complete unilateral facial nerve paralysis underwent the procedure, and they were followed up for a median of 27 months (1-73 months). Fifteen of 18 patients maintained their intraoperative lower-lid position beyond the 12-month follow-up. Three patients had a minimal scleral show at 3 months. One of these patients also developed lid laxity seen on the snap test. No perioperative complications were experienced. Transnasal wiring of the lower-lid tendon suspension provides consistent results that are maintained over time. Copyright © 2015 British Association of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgeons.

Resurgences of the portrait

January 2017 · Littérature

E. Sermier

Would the genre of the portrait embody, in 1917, the « worthiest of games » ? Writers like Paul Morand and Max Jacob, painters like André Derain and Picasso revive this classical form, however to reinvest and reanimate it. At one of the deathliest hours of History the portrait offers the possibility to place the human face again in the foreground and to reawaken the desire for the other. This ...

Pediatric Critical Care Study Guide

January 2012

Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) has been a mainstay of immediate response to acute cardiorespiratory failure since it was first introduced by Kouwenhoven et al. in 1960. The goal of CPR is to maximize coronary and cerebral blood flow and to restore spontaneous circulation. To these ends, the principles are largely unchanged from earlier descriptions, although the understanding of the ...

In this brief review, we plan to review the physiologic basis of CPR, describe some newer concepts of circulatory adjuncts, detail the rationale for pharmacotherapy, and discuss the outcomes for patients who require CPR.

Challenges of Do-Not-Attempt-Resuscitation Orders

June 2012 · JAMA The Journal of the American Medical Association

To the Editor: In a Viewpoint, Dr Blinderman and colleagues highlighted the challenges faced when considering do-not-attempt-resuscitation decisions.1 Their recommendations have a number of similarities with the approach currently used in the United Kingdom. Guidance in the United Kingdom on this topic comes from a joint statement, “Decisions Relating to Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation”2 produced ... [Show full abstract] by the British Medical Association, the Resuscitation Council (UK), and the Royal College of Nursing, and from the General Medical Council's publication, “Treatment and Care Towards the End of Life: Good Practice in Decision Making.”3 These guidelines identify 3 situations during which cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) may be withheld: (1) when clinical judgment concludes that CPR will not be successful in restarting the patient's heart and breathing and restoring circulation; (2) when, following careful discussion with the patient (and/or those close to him/her), agreement is reached that benefits of CPR are outweighed by the burdens and risks; and (3) when a patient has an advanced decision (ie, living will) or makes an informed decision to refuse CPR.

Death in American texts and performances: Corpses, Ghosts, and the reanimated dead

January 2013

Each of us faces death in private, personal ways. Yet we also encounter death in relation to our culture's aesthetics of mortality, through traditional and new media. From the page to the stage to the screen, twentieth and twenty-first century American texts and performance media are vexed sites for representing death, demonstrating both transcendent possibilities and mortal limitations. This ... [Show full abstract] collection explores the modern and postmodern aesthetics of death, through corpses, ghosts, and reanimated bodies in literary, performative, and cultural contexts. Corpses, as abject objects, display the loss of a living person. Ghosts insist on the opposite, that a spirit continues beyond the body. The reanimated dead, in various other forms, may combine (or express the gap between) these contradictory modes of un-being. Such representations of death are analyzed here across different genres, as we examine the ways that poets, novelists, dramatists, and film/TV-makers struggle with the presence of the dead in their texts. This is not a comprehensive survey of the twentieth century. Nor do we explore the two World Wars, with their international demands for sacrifice. Instead, this volume features other sites of American death, looking back through a post-millennial viewpoint. It considers how texts and performances respond to the crisis of representation that is always involved in re-presenting death. © Lisa K. Perdigao, Mark Pizzato, and the contributors 2010.

Marx and the dynamic of the capital formation: an aesthetics of political economy

January 2010

Beverley Best

"This study offers a close examination of Marx's dialectical method of analysis through the lens of current debates in cultural studies, political economy, and critical sociology. It seeks to reanimate Marx's theoretical reconstruction of the capitalist formation from the point of view of recent and emerging social dynamics within advanced consumer economies. The book cosists of two parts: Part ... [Show full abstract] one reconstructs the defining movement of Marx's analytical approach as a function of abstraction. It demonstrates how Marx's method articulates a specific theory and practice of representation--one of the several dimensions through which it expresses an "aesthetic sensibility." Part two opens up to a broader analysis of the continuing pertinence of Marx's method in the analysis of contemporary global capitalism wherein cultural production takes centre stage."--BOOK JACKET.

Use of the masseter motor nerve in facial animation with free muscle transfer

August 2011 · British Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery

Facial paralysis is either congenital or acquired, and of varying severity, which leads to an asymmetrical or absent facial expression. It is an important disability both from the aesthetic and functional points of view. Between 2003 and 2008, at the Department of Maxillofacial Surgery, University of Parma, Italy, 21 patients with facial paralysis had their faces reanimated with a gracilis ... [Show full abstract] transplant reinnervated by the masseter motor nerve. All free-muscle transplants survived the transfer, and no flap was lost. Facial symmetry at rest and while smiling was excellent or good in most cases, and we found an appreciable improvement in both speech and oral competence. We consider that the masseter motor nerve is a powerful and reliable donor nerve, which allows us to obtain movement of the commissure and upper lip similar to those of the normal site for degree and direction. There may be a role for the masseter motor nerve in innervation of patients with facial paralysis.

Despite the enormous success that cities like Philadelphia have achieved with downtown revival, nearly all have a long way to go to restore this volume of workers, residents, shoppers, and visitors. But in the last decade, more than 800 North American business improvement districts have made dramatic strides in turning things around, supplementing traditional re-development efforts and ...

Because downtowns have become the most important economic generators for older communities, cities need to position them to compete more effectively with the suburbs and to play a larger role in the metropolitan economy. Downtowns are no longer simply places for work and shopping; they must consolidate their position as regional centers for arts, culture, entertainment, fine dining, and, increasingly, for conventions and sports.

Objectives: This study aimed at: i) stating what the routines are regarding ordering of preoperative coagulation test ; ii) evaluating the impact on the use of pre-operative orders from the data obtained during the first and the second parts of the study.Study design: Descriptive and comparative epidemiologic studyPatients and methods: This study was performed twice, and lasted for one day each ... [Show full abstract] during two consecutive years (1998 and 1999). It concerned 22 private clinics in the French region ‘Nord-Pas-de-Calais’. The anaesthesiologists who took part in the project had to fill out an easy and brief questionnaire concerning each patient who had been admitted to the operating area. It dealt mainly with the presence or the absence, of a preoperative laboratory screening, and with who ordered the test and which tests. The results of the first part of the study (1998) have been evaluated several times with the involved anaesthesiologists. Before repeating the study in 1999, the results were first discussed and compared to the recommendations of the experts.Results: In 1998, preoperative coagulation tests were ordered for 81% of the patients (n=662), which in more than half the cases were ordered by an anaesthesiologists. In less than 5% of the cases, one or more abnormalities were detected out of which half were predictable because of the patients previous medical history. Only one of the patients in the study suffered from an haemorrhagical problem although he had a normal coagulation screening. A year after, the ordering of a preoperative coagulation check included 75% of the patients (n=400), which represents a small but nonetheless significant decrease of the number of orders compared to 1998 (p

“It all started with Eddie”: Thanatopolitics, police power, and the murder of Edward Byrne

March 2018 · Crime Media Culture An International Journal

Justin Turner

On February 26, 1988, rookie New York City police officer Edward Byrne was shot dead while guarding a material witness in a drug trafficking case in South Jamaica, Queens. This article considers how state narratives and visual rhetoric emerging from Byrne’s murder emboldened the police power and a revanchist campaign aimed at “taking back the streets” secreted under the war on drugs. As such, ... [Show full abstract] this case powerfully illustrates a disparate politics of death and the ways that the state enlists thanatopolitical power in order to reaffirm and reproduce its sovereign authority. Such a reproduction or reanimation of power registers as the state’s ability to unleash violence unequivocally and unequally upon poor and marginalized communities, as later demonstrated by the legal and proper police murder of Sean Bell, a resident of South Jamaica, Queens killed by NYPD agents in 2006.
