Encephalitis: diagnosis, management and recent advances in the field of encephalitides.

Encephalitis describes inflammation of the brain parenchyma, typically caused by either an infectious agent or through an autoimmune process which may be postinfectious, paraneoplastic or idiopathic. Patients can present with a combination of fever, alterations in behaviour, personality, cognition and consciousness. They may also exhibit focal neurological deficits, seizures, movement disorders and/or autonomic instability. However, it can sometimes present non-specifically, and this combined with its many causes make it a difficult to manage neurological syndrome. Despite improved treatments in some forms of encephalitides, encephalitis remains a global concern due to its high mortality and morbidity. Prompt diagnosis and administration of specific and supportive management options can lead to better outcomes. Over the last decade, research in encephalitis has led to marked developments in the understanding, diagnosis and management of encephalitis. In parallel, the number of autoimmune encephalitis syndromes has rapidly expanded and clinically characteristic syndromes in association with pathogenic autoantibodies have been defined. By focusing on findings presented at the Encephalitis Society's conference in December 2021, this article reviews the causes, clinical manifestations and management of encephalitis and integrate recent advances and challenges of research into encephalitis.

Differences in Financial Conflicts of Interest Among Participants in a National Spine Conference.

Retrospective Study. At the North American Spine Society (NASS) conference, participants may influence spine surgery practices and patient care through their contributions. Therefore, their financial conflicts of interest are of notable interest. This study aims to compare the demographics and payments made to participating surgeons. A list of 151 spine surgeons was created based on those who participated in the 2022 NASS conference. Demographic information was obtained from public physician profiles. General payments, research payments, associated research funding, and ownership interest were collected for each physician. Descriptive statistics and two-tailed t-tests were used. In 2021, 151 spine surgeon participants received industry payments, totaling USD 48 294 115. The top 10% of orthopedic surgeons receiving payments accounted for 58.7% of total orthopedic general value, while the top 10% of neurosurgeons accounted for 70.1%. There was no significant difference between these groups' general payment amounts. Surgeons with 21-30years of experience received the most general funding. There was no difference in funding between surgeons in academic or private settings. For all surgeons, royalties accounted for the largest percentage of the general value exchanged, while food/beverage accounted for the largest percentage of transactions. Our study found that only years of experience had a positive association with general payments, and most monetary value belonged to a small handful of surgeons. These participants receiving significant money may promote techniques requiring products of companies providing their compensation. Future conferences may require disclosure policy changes so attendees understand the degree of funding participants receive.

Editors’ Introduction

Editors’ Introduction Elizabeth S. Radcliffe and Mark G. Spencer We are pleased to say that Hume Studies has awarded its second annual Essay Prize, with an announcement featured in this issue. The winning paper will be published in November 2023 (Hume Studies 48:2). We thank the members of the 2022–23 Prize Committee, who are acknowledged in the announcement. Please see the Call for Papers for the Third Annual Essay Prize on page 189 of this issue. Along with five original articles and three book reviews, our current issue features a symposium on Margaret Watkins’s book, The Philosophical Progress of Hume’s “Essays” (Cambridge University Press, 2019). The symposium is a development from an Author-Meets-Critics panel that was held at the 47th Hume Society Conference, sponsored by the Pontificia Universidad Javeriana in Bogotá, Columbia, July 2021. We thank the organizers and the panelists. With the end of 2022, we have had a changing of the guard among the Hume Studies Editorial Board. The Hume Society Constitution allows that Editorial Board members can serve no more than two consecutive 6-year terms. Consequently, we have had to say farewell to Helen Beebee, Don Garrett, and James Harris. We are grateful for their many years of fine service to the journal. Lisa Shapiro’s appointment has been renewed for another term. We are pleased to welcome new members to the Editorial Board: James Fieser (University of Tennessee at Martin), Peter S. Fosl (Transylvania University), and Ruth Weintraub (Tel Aviv University). We also bring to your attention the Call for Papers for the 50th annual Hume Society Conference, to be held at Oxford University in the summer of 2024. The conference planners hope to present an exceptional program for this golden jubilee. Please check out their “Call” on page 191 of this issue for information about the conference themes and the submission deadline. Finally, we remind our readers that we are always looking for excellent submissions at Hume Studies. We usually get referee reports to authors in about eight weeks’ [End Page 5] time, and time to publication after acceptance is approximately one year. Our issues are online in April and November at three websites: the Hume Society (for members, https://www.humesociety.org), Project Muse (https://muse.jhu.edu), and the Philosophy Documentation Center (https://www.pdcnet.org). Paper issues arrive at U.S. locations by mail just a few weeks later. International mailing takes several weeks longer. Information on submitting a paper to our online portal can be found here: https://www.humesociety.org/ojs/index.php/hs/information/authors. In the case of technical difficulties, please contact one of the editors. [End Page 6] Copyright © 2023 Hume Studies

Reflections on a land acknowledgment: The 2021 Peace History Society conference and the territories of the Cherokee and Muscogee (Creek) Nations

AbstractThe Peace History Society's biennial conference, virtual in October 2021, was organized in Georgia. The land acknowledgment offered at that event recognized the dispossession and expulsion of the Cherokee and Muscogee (Creek) Nations from their lands in that state in the 1830s. This essay reflects on the significance of this acknowledgment and on further steps that can be taken to include and engage with Indigenous peoples and perspectives.

Looking to the New Year With Optimism [Message From the President

The year 2022 has ended, and the year end is always a time of taking summary. In 2022 we returned to relative normality after more than two years of the pandemic. The first event was finally a hybrid and not just an online meeting: the IEEE International Symposium on Industrial Electronics in Anchorage, Alaska. Then, we held an entirely stationary 48th Annual Conference of the IEEE Industrial Electronics Society (IES) in Brussels, Belgium, with around 800 participants. I would like to emphasize that the pandemic has shown that there is also interest in fully online conferences, so we have organized the first IES Annual Online Conference, which will have a permanent place in our portfolio of conferences.
