Abstract

This thesis investigates the pedagogy of desiring and thinking in Hannah Arendt's reading of Augustine. In this interdisciplinary work, two orders of discourse are compared and contrasted: the political and the theological. Points of convergence between the two spheres are named pedagogy and points of divergence, mystagogy. Addressing a lacuna in scholarship concerning Arendt's Augustinian heritage that has predominantly focused on her early work on love in Augustine, this thesis shifts the interpretive focus to her mature treatment of him in The Life of the Mind. Arendt's initial criticism of Augustinian desiring is that it generates worldlessness, or a denigration of the political. Although this concern pervades her entire work, it obtains a more nuanced reading when she considers the movements of thinking, desiring, and loving in her later engagement with Augustine. It is the purpose of this thesis to attend to these movements of thinking, desiring, and loving and to inspect the spatio-temporal framework which structure Arendt's conception of the political in her engagement with Augustine. This is done to assess the claim that Arendt's conception of the political is drawn from a pedagogy of desiring and thinking from Augustine. Arendt herself makes the claim that Augustine knew what it meant to live inter homines esse; a phrase she often used to clarify the political. This reading suggests that the city of God functions as a heuristic for Arendt's notion of the political. Although this interdisciplinary study respects the methodology of political theory, it also argues that Arendt's severing of Augustinian pedagogy from his mystagogy results in an insurmountable aporia which she herself detected. This thesis seeks to embed these Augustinian pedagogical practises within his theological architectonic to suggest how that aporia might be overcome and used to develop a mystagogy for politics.

Abstract

Background and Objectives: Conflicting guidelines exist for initiating average-risk colorectal cancer screening at the age of 45 years. The United States Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) changed its guidelines in 2021 to recommend initiating screening at 45 years due to an increasing incidence of young-onset colorectal cancer. However, the American College of Physicians (ACP) recently recommended not screening average-risk individuals between 45 and 49 years old. We aim to study the national trends in the incidence of sporadic malignant polyps (SMP) in patients from 20 to 49 years old. Materials and Methods: We analyzed the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results database (2000–2017) on patients aged 20–49 years who underwent diagnostic colonoscopy with at least a single malignant sporadic colorectal polyp. Results: Of the 10,742 patients diagnosed with SMP, 42.9% were female. The mean age of incidence was 43.07 years (42.91–43.23, 95% CI). Approximately 50% of malignant polyps were diagnosed between 45 and 49 years of age, followed by 25–30% between 40 and 45. There was an upward trend in malignant polyps, with a decreased incidence of malignant villous adenomas and a rise in malignant adenomas and tubulovillous adenomas. Conclusions: Our findings suggest that almost half of the SMPs under 50 years occurred in individuals under age 45, younger than the current screening threshold recommended by the ACP. There has been an upward trend in malignant polyps in the last two decades. This reflects changes in tumor biology, and necessitates further research and support in the USPSTF guidelines to start screening at the age of 45 years. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

BackgroundThere is limited insight into the epidemiological characteristics and effect of race and ethnicity on Primary Malignant Cardiac Tumors (PMCTs).ObjectivesComparison of clinical characteristics and cancer-specific survival outcomes of major races in the United States from the Surveillance, Epidemiology and End-Result (SEER) registry.MethodsICD-O-3 codes were used to identify PMCTs for the years 1975 to 2015. Three major races were identified—“White”, “Black”, and “Asian/Pacific Islander”. Cancer-specific survival outcomes were compared using Kaplan-Meier analysis across and amongst races, based on tumor histology. A subgroup analysis of cancer-specific survival was performed between “Hispanics” and “non-Hispanics.”ResultsSeven hundred and twenty patients were identified−47% females and 79% White, mean age at diagnosis (47 ± 20 years). Black patients were significantly younger (39 ± 18 years) and presented more commonly with angiosarcomas (53%). Non-angiogenic sarcomas and lymphomas were the most common tumors in the White (38%) and Asian/Pacific Islander (34%) cohorts. For a median follow-up period of 50 (IQR3-86) months, cancer-specific survival (mean ± SD, in months) was worse in Blacks (9 ± 3) as compared to Whites (15 ± 1) and Asian/Pacific Islander (14 ± 1) (p-value; Black vs. White p = 0.011).ConclusionBlack and non-Hispanic patients have poorer cancer-specific survival in PMCTs.
