Matthew

The marriage is Christ’s resurrection, ‘‘when he rose in his spiritual Body which is the Church’s proper sphere” (145). This last point could be strengthened by bringing in the theme of the royal nuptials in the Gospels and Revelation, as well as possible echoes of the song of Songs in relation to the risen Christ. There is scarcely an allusion to the descent in Eph 5 2 6 . Unfortunately, Hanson does not take account of Markus Barth’s magisterial and contrasting discussion in his Anchor Bible Ephesians ( 19 74). The myriad references to exegetical opinion are normally consigned to notes a t the end of the book. However, they sometimes weigh down the text, e.g., pp. 1 lb117, 128, 139. The intricate verbal interweaving of scriptural texts, required by the cumulative interlocking arguments, makes for dificult if rewarding reading. Summary is wellnigh impossible, though note pp. 18-20, 30, 93-95, 102, 121, 154-155, 165, and 175. Dissent has been expressed above about a few topics. A more accurate title would be, Studies in the New Testatilent Interpretation of Scripture. If italics were used for all the Greek texts the book’s high price might have been lowered. Hanson’s method is more controlled than that of, say, Michael Goulder or John Drury. His analyses are carried out with admirable sensitivity towards the presuppositions, feelings, and methods of N T authois. This ecumenism in scholarship leads to a real understanding of John and Paul on their own terms which gradually make sense for us. BRIAN M. NOLAN

The New Testament Interpretation of Scripture

This work is a collection of six essays. First, there is an introductory study justifying the significance of the enquiry (pp. 1-20). H e stresses that Scripture was always embedded in tradition, in a living interpretation. The interpreted Hebrew Bible and the Septuagint constituted the main element of the universe of discourse of the first Christians. It can to some extent be recaptured by answering these three questions: What text does the N T use?, What is its spiptural context?, How was the passage understood in contemporary Judaism? To appreciate the NT, the literature of the Christian "back to the Bible" movement, one must further ask: What did the author mean when he wrote in his particular situation?, What light does the passage of Jewish Scripture he develops throw for him on the identity, achievement, and present significance-of Jesus Christ? There follows a monograph, "A Quasi-Gnostic Pauline Midrash: 1 Corinthians 2:6-16" (21-96). He proposes that verses 6-9 mean that God has revealed himself in Christ crucified, in a self-giving vulnerability which the disobedient superhuman powers failed to recognise; and that verses 10-16 state how God revealed himself to Christians through his "mind" Christ, now glorified and functioning in believers as the Spirit. Hanson considers that Jewish Wisdom, shading into Merkabah mysticism, explains the imagery of this passage. There is no Proto-Gnostic myth of a descending redeemer. The proud heavenly powers fail to value the weakness of God-in-Christ, the "deep things" of his saving design. The ''spiritual man" is morally, not ontologically, superior to the "unspiritual man". His analysis is cogent, and rightly concludes that, "One could with as little justification accuse Paul of being a Gnostic, as one could accuse Hegel of being a Nazi" (96).

Restenosis after carotid endarterectomy in a multicenter regional registry

Journal of Vascular Surgery, 2010

However, whether this information has affected practice patterns and outcomes in real-world vascular surgery settings is unclear. Within the Vascular Study Group of New England (VSGNE), we studied 2981 patients undergoing 2981 first-time CEAs between January 1, 2003, and June 31, 2008. Rates of restenosis (defined by duplex ultrasound imaging at the 1-year follow-up) were estimated using life-table analysis. Cox proportional hazards models were used to identify multivariable predictors of postoperative restenosis ≤ 1 year. Across 58 surgeons and 11 hospitals, we studied 2611 conventional CEAs (88% of all CEAs) and 370 eversion CEAs (12% of all CEAs). Median follow-up was 12.8 months (range, 1-35 months). The proportion of conventional CEAs performed with patching increased from 87% to 96% (P &amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt; .001) between 2003 and 2008, whereas eversion CEA declined from 18% to 5% (P &amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt; .001). Restenosis occurred in 303 patients (10%); by life-table analysis, the restenosis rate at 1 year was 6.2% (95% confidence interval [CI], 4.7%-6.8%). Restenoses were most commonly noncritical: 50%-79% restenosis in 7.9%, 80%-99% restenosis in 1.7%, and occlusion in 0.5%. Univariate analyses showed significant differences in 80% to 100% restenosis by procedure type (2% in conventional CEA, 6% in eversion CEA, P &amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt; .002), the year of procedure (3.2% in 2003, 0% in 2008; P &amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt; .03), and use of patching in conventional CEA (2.9% no patch, 1% with patch; P &amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt; .008). By multivariable analysis, absence of patching (hazard ratio [HR], 3.2; 95% CI, 1.5-7.0), contralateral internal carotid artery stenosis &amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;gt; 80% (HR, 4.1; 95% CI, 1.4-11.5), and dialysis dependence (HR, 3.5; 95% CI, 1.2-9.8) were independently associated with a higher risk of an 80% to 100% restenosis. Of the 51 patients with 80% to 99% restenosis, 14 underwent reintervention ≤ 1 year, comprising 4 reoperations and 10 carotid artery stent procedures. Of the 15 patients with a carotid occlusion ≤ 1 year, transient ischemic attacks occurred in 2 and a disabling stroke in 1. In our region, restenosis after CEA, especially clinically significant restenosis ≤ 1 year after surgery, decreased slightly over time. This improvement in outcome was associated with several factors, including an increase in patching after conventional CEA, a process of care that was studied and encouraged within our vascular study group. These results highlight the utility of regional quality-improvement efforts in improving outcomes in vascular surgery.
