The politics of Pan-Islam : ideology and organization

The unity of all Muslim believers is in one sense a given: Islam forms a complete moral, cultural, legal, social, and political system. Yet Islamic unity is also a political goal, one that has had influential and controversial expression in the ideal known as Pan-Islam. Jacob Landaus renowned study is the authoritative treatment of the Pan-Islamic movement over the last 120 years. Covering a broad area of the Islamic world including Morocco, South Asia, and the Arabian Peninsula, this timely work has now been expanded to treat recent developments in the ex-Soviet Republics of the Caucases and Central Asia.

Clinically Significant Intravascular Red Cell Aggregation

as significant.5 When discrepancies existed between ESR and aggregation, information has usually been absent as to which examination better reflected the clinical state. In the present work this problem has been examined. In addition, since we have seen arteriolar RCA in mild clinical disturbances, e.g., in patients with tension headache, an effort has been made to define clinically significant RCA.

THE SMALL BLOOD VESSELS OF THE SKIN IN ACROCYANOSIS.

AcROovANOSis is a common disease with characteristic clinical and vascular features. In the past five years 15U patients with acrocyanosis have been observed. The characteristic biomicroscopy {capillary microscopy) findings in the small blood vessels in nailfold, conjunctiva, lip and tongue in this disease have been described {Landau and Davis, 1061 ; Davis et al., 1966) and the oxygen uptake by the venous blood investigated {Stern et al., 1961). In the present study the small blood vessels in the nailfold were examined by

Impaired "Arterialization" of the Venous Blood of the Hand in Raynaud's Disease and Acrocyanosis

The rise of oxygen saturation of the blood in a forearm vein after local heating has been known since the work of Meakins and Davies in 1920.1 Goldschmidt and Light2 showed that immersion of the hand in a water-bath of 44 to -:l:6°C for 10 minutes caused the oxygen content of the blood taken from a vein on the dorsal surface of the hand to rise, and its carbon dioxide content to fall, to the amounts found in arterial blood. This method of &dquo;arterialization&dquo; of venous blood has since been accepted and used.3 The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of local application of heat to the hand on the oxygen saturation and carbon dioxide content of venous blood in patients with Raynaud’s disease and acrocyanosis, comparing the results with those obtained in healthy control subjects.

Deutsche Wissenschaftler im türkischen Exil: Die Wissenschaftsmigration in die Türkei 1933–1945

1876 brought down the curtain on Khedive Isma’il vision of an African empire’ (p.59). As stated above, a short review such as this cannot do justice to the contents of such a great volume, even more so when one adds the comprehensive bibliography and the index, which in a collection of articles on a wide variety of topics is even more difficult to compose. Even the concluding words of Hatina and Gershoni make a meaningful addition to this perfect volume: ‘The Famous observation of the fifth century B.C.E. Greek historian Herodotus: Egypt is the Gift of the Nile’ (p.230).

The effect of pentolinium tartrate (Ansolysen) on blood pressure in terminal vessels and on capillary diameter

Abstract Ten patients with severe hypertension were treated with oral pentolinium tartrate (Ansolysen). Before treatment the blood pressure in the terminal digital vessels was high in all patients, and the diameter of the capillaries in the conjunctivae and nail beds was reduced in most. When effective therapeutic doses of Ansolysen were given, the terminal vessel pressure was reduced in all and became normal in eight patients. Also, the diameter of the capillaries increased appreciably in nearly all the patients. The values of terminal vessel pressure and capillary diameter in these severe cases after treatment with Ansolysen were similar to those found in a group of hypertensive patients whose clinical state was relatively good.

Islamic versus other identities in the Greater Middle East: Comments on the Ex‐Soviet Muslim republics

The six newly independent, ex‐Soviet Muslim republics share many characteristics. Common to all are identity conflicts based on ethnic ties, cultural traditions and attitudes to Islam. Most ethno‐nationalist groups have been mythologizing their past history and culture. Islam remains, however, the most important factor determining identity throughout the area, although in diverse ways. Realizing this, most political elites take an unfavorable view of the flow of extreme religious propaganda from Iran and Saudi Arabia and of the incursions from Afghanistan. Aware of the revival of Islam, some political leaders of the new states strive to encourage various patterns of moderate religion as a bulwark against militant Islam.
