The clinical implications of this inflammatory tissue are not typically apparent,other than for possible renovascular hypertension (12). Cardiovascular involvement typically manifests as circumferential infiltration of the thoracic and abdominal aorta that appears as enhancing soft-tissue attenuation at CT and as T2 hyperintense enhancing signal at MR imaging.Īs the disease burden progresses, infiltration can occur in the aortic branches and intracranial vasculature (7,8). Intra- and extra-axial cerebral and spinal lesions have been reported (7–11). Pituitary gland that results in central diabetes insipidus. Absence of the normal T1 hyperintense signal of the neurohypophysis occurs with enhancing nodular soft tissue of the pituitary stalk and posterior The hypothalamic pituitary axis is the most common site affected within the central nervous system (8). The intraconal lesions are hypointense on T1- and T2-weighted images and enhance after administration of a gadolinium chelate (7). As in this patient, intraconal masses may develop secondary to histiocyte infiltration that result in exophthalmos. Orbital and central nervous system involvement are common findings. One typical raw reference from my field would be like this: But a tidy pre-planned system has them too, and only time will say which system will win in the end.įor example, I am a medical doctor. A system of linked notes that grows organically can have a lot of advantages. But I'm skeptical that I will use it in the long run. I'm going to give it a try, nevertheless, because it's true that maintaining notes for a long document is a pain, and maybe it works! After a period of indecision, I'll go for TiddlyRoam as the software to implement it. "There are increasing numbers of academics and nonfiction writers taking notice" and here he adds a reference to a website, maintained by two german guys. "Many successful writers, artists and academics use some form of a slip-box." Yeah? How many? Because this is the first time I hear of the method. a famous sociologist called Niklas Luhmann (had you heard of him?) used this method and was very prolific and admired. The thing is: why should we do this? Does the Zettelkasten method work in practice? Apart from all the theory, the evidence he shows is this: So it doesn't really deliver on its promise, and I hate that in a book. He then spends the remaining 95% of the book in a long rambling argument about WHY you should use the method, but the HOW in "How to Take Smart Notes" is not well described anywhere. So in the end you have to look up in the Internet how the system really works. He does not dwell much in exactly how to do it. This book should have been titled "My long and repetitive ramblings about learning theory, with some asides about how to create a Zettelkasten (slip-box of notes), without examples".Īhrens describes the Zettelkasten method: you take notes while you read then make "literature notes", with your own words, attaching the bibliographic information to them and then you reflect about them, and you make "permanent notes", with one idea per note then you drop them into a network of linked notes, that you traverse regularly, in search of a place for each idea. It does not matter if you prefer taking notes with pen and paper or on a computer, be it Windows, Mac or Linux. Instead of wasting your time searching for notes, quotes or references, you can focus on what really counts: thinking, understanding and developing new ideas in writing. It suits students and academics in the social sciences and humanities, nonfiction writers and others who are in the business of reading, thinking and writing. This is the first comprehensive guide and description of this system in English, and not only does it explain how it works, but also why. The Take Smart Notes principle is based on established psychological insight and draws from a tried and tested note-taking-technique. It teaches you how to take smart notes and ensure they bring you and your projects forward. This book helps students, academics and nonfiction writers to get more done, write intelligent texts and learn for the long run. The key to good and efficient writing lies in the intelligent organisation of ideas and notes.
