Transcatheter Mitral and Tricuspid Valve Therapies
ranscatheter valve therapies have emerged as a viable treatments option for patients deemed high risk for conventional surgery. Whilst transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) is now established as the standard of care in high-risk aortic stenosis patients, the mitral and tricuspid frontiers have proved to be more challenging. Anatomical heterogeneity, device development, refining patient selection and until recently the absence of randomised data have all been contributing factors. For mitral regurgitation, transcatheter edge to edge repair (TEER) now benefits from positive randomised data along with significant advancements in device technology. Transcatheter mitral valve replacement (TMVR) options are also making rapid progress. More recently, tricuspid regurgitation has become the central focus of the structural heart community having previously been referred to as the “forgotten valve”
Philosopher, Practitioner, Politician: the Many Lives of Fazang (643-712)
The Buddhist monk Fazang (643-712), regarded today mainly as a scholastic monk, was in fact one of the greatest metaphysicians in Asia. This biographical - and hagiographical - study of Fazang seeks to explore his other contributions and in so doing to correct some major mis-presentations and misinterpretations existing in modern scholarship. It highlights and uncovers aspects of Fazang’s complicated life which have been neglected or ignored until now. By experimenting with some methodological innovations in reading medieval Chinese monastic hagio-biography, this study reveals general features, structures and overall governing laws of medieval East Asian monastic hagio-biographic literature. In doing so it is a major contribution to the ongoing discussion among scholars of hagiography in other contexts as well.
The Imperial Uncle
Prince Huai, uncle to the young emperor, is the chief of all poisons, the evil manipulator, the greatest of malignant tumors… or so people say. But no matter—the imperial uncle has a plan. He will sabotage the conspiracy against the throne and make his loyalty known to all. His plan will wipe his reputation clean and put an end to the rumors. Maybe then Prince Huai can start mending the other facets of his life. Perhaps, he can even be worthy of the paragon of virtue he yearns for…
An Historical Sketch of Chinese Historiography
This book systematically traces the development of Chinese historiography from the 2nd century B.C. to the 19th century A.D. Refusing to fit the Chinese historical narration into the modern Western discourse, the author highlights the significant questions that concern traditional historians, their philosophical foundations, their development over three thousand years and their influence on the intelligentsia. China is a country defined in terms of its history and its historians have worked hard to record the past. However, this book approaches Chinese history from the very beginning not only as a way of recording, but also as a way of dealing with the past in order to orient the people of the present in the temporal dimension of their lives. This book was listed as the key textbook of the “Eleventh Five-year Plan” for college students in China.
