Full term secondary abdominal pregnancy in a Jehovah’s witness: A case report

We describe a rare case of full term abdominal pregnancy in a Jehovah’s witness patient;she underwent laparotomy successfully without blood transfusion. Despite their belief regarding transfusion, Jehovah’s witnesses may not necessarily have a higher morbidity or mortality rate following a complex obstetric surgery as seen in the present case.

Review of abdominal solid organ transplantation in Jehovah’s Witness patients

Managing blood loss in Jehovah’s Witness(JW)patients is a matter of controversy.These patients will not accept transfusions of red blood cells,white blood cells,platelets or plasma,even if that is required to save their lives.There are many discussions regarding safety of operating upon JW patients in general surgical procedures,but in solid organ transplantation there is a paucity of literature on this subject.We have reviewed individual case reports and small series documenting on experience with solid organ transplantation in JW patients and the strategies adopted to facilitate that.It is clear that such patients require the surgical team to dedicate more time to ensure their safe management.This begins with a thorough,detailed consent of exactly which products and interventions they will or will not accept.Planning must begin weeks before surgery if possible.Each case must be assessed individually,but provided they meet fitness requirements,there are no absolute contraindications to abdominal organ transplantation.

医学人文新视界下耶和华见证者之拒绝输血——兼论后现代的医疗模式

文章诠释了富含人性之美的医学人文新视界,即"整体观、多元观与和谐(自主)观";提出后现代的"生物、心理、社会、精神"医疗模式;立论了尊重患者的自主决策权是医事法和医学伦理学尊贵的价值核心。最后,以此视角解释了耶和华见证者不接受救命之输血的自主决策权应该得到尊重。

在没有输血的血红素 2 g/dL 的成功的肠外科

We were unable to find reports in the published medical literature of any cases of bowel surgery being successfully performed at such a low hemoglobin level,without blood transfusion or blood products pre or post-surgery,with the patient’s uncomplicated recovery.This study is about such a case.A patient presenting with severegastrointestinal bleeding was diagnosed with enteric fever and multiple ileal ulcers.He had an extremely low hemoglobin level(2 g/dL) and mild renal and hepatic impairment.He was immediately admitted for right hemicolectomy under general anesthesia though he refused transfusion of blood or blood products prior to,during,or after surgery on religious grounds(Jehovah’ s Witnesses).After the surgery and having survived these potentially life-threatening circumstances,he left the hospital without major complications.In such circumstances,lives may be saved by prompt clinical decision-making,collaboration and swift surgical intervention coupled with the immediate consultation and input of the patient and family.

罗马排犹现象刍议

在罗马历史上,犹太人问题是比较突出的问题之一,排犹主义就是这个问题的具体体现。虽然排犹主义只是一个现代词汇,但是这种现象在上古世界就已经出现。而在罗马帝国时期,由于犹太教教义与罗马多神教乃至元首崇拜相悖,加上基督教的推波助澜,引起了政府行为的排犹运动,使得犹太国家不复存在,犹太人被迫离开聚居地巴勒斯坦,沦为世界难民。直至今日,犹太人问题仍然是西方国家的一大问题,也是引起国际争端的一个主要借口。

梁发著作的几个问题

梁发是基督新教的第一个本土传道人,与早期来华的各国传道士有密切接触,其思想直接秉承了当时西方基督教的基本观念。与初期其他中国信徒不同,梁发撰写和编纂了一系列著作。这些著作成为后人研究新教来华初期本土信徒所接受和所形成的基督教观念的最佳对象。当代,随着图书资料获得的便捷,梁发著作大部分已可得睹。本文考察了梁发著作的主要情况,部分著作之间的关系,个别著作的作者问题,梁发与马礼逊圣经中译本的关系问题,以及梁发所用的一个重要的译名“爷火华”的来龙去脉问题,对梁发研究和太平天国研究有一定的价值。
