    Abstract: It is the contention of the author that Islam provides a framework that enables its adherents to open pathways towards feminism. If we define feminism in terms of offering women choices and giving their choices respect, then we would be able to see that in their long struggle for liberation Iranian women have remained true to both their faith and the ideals of feminists. The most important pathway to this success has been greater access to education and the right that women have exercised of learning about their faith and what it offers them. Women who chose to fight for their rights in the context of Islam and its teaching are breaking new paths that had been barred to them for over a millennium. The process has been slow and hard and different depending on the country. Throughout, the most effective strategy has been to insist that Islam does not recognize intermediaries between God and the believers and each Muslim has the God-given right to discover her/his faith and engage with it through the very words of God as recorded in the Koran. This immediacy enables women to construct a dialogue and initiate a process of interpretation and development, which places Islam in the framework of what could be called a feminist discourse. The author explores some of the methods used to begin this process and considers its development in Iran.

    Abstract: Aortocoronary saphenous vein bypass grafting relieves anginal pain in patients with coronary artery disease. However, its effectiveness is limited due to graft failure; the 10-year patency rate is 50%–60%. Early, 1-year and late graft failure may be due to thrombosis, fibrointimal hyperplasia and atherosclerosis, respectively. There is general agreement that vein graft atherosclerosis differs from arterial lesions in terms of temporal and histological changes. Vein graft atherosclerosis is more rapid, with diffuse concentric changes and a less noticeable fibrous cap, making venous plaques more vulnerable to rupture and subsequent thrombus formation. Despite progress in understanding the pathophysiology, some aspects of vein graft atherosclerosis need to be clarified. This review focuses on the pathophysiologic aspects of this widespread, costly and disabling disease, with emphasis on late graft occlusion and distinctions between arterial and venous atherosclerosis in terms of histology, pathophysiology and risk factors.

    Feminisms, Islamophobia and Identities

    Abstract: There has been a tendency of late to conflate all Muslims as belonging to a single nation and aspiring to a single political aim. This effect has been achieved by some authors so as to accommodate Islamophobia, but by others to generate a sense of inclusive unity that encloses all Muslims. We contend that in the post 9/11 climate of Islamophobia women wearing the scarf, the mohajabehs, are making a political choice. They are publicly branding themselves as Muslims at a time when such a label carries the potential fear of making them vulnerable to open hostility. But the Islam that they embody is distinct and different from the stark, gendered divides envisaged by protagonists on both side of the Islamophobic divide. The unity demanded by some of the highly vocal and visible Islamic groups marginalises the contestations posed within these groups by women who may be described as feminists. The specificities demanded by those who envisage Islam primarily as an antagonistic political force in the UK are very different from the flexibility that many women envisage. They aspire to belong to the Umma or people of Islam, conceptualised as crossing ethnic, racial, geographical and political boundaries, an identity that is primarily inclusive rather than exclusive. The multiplicities of identities of many mohajabehs sit more easily within the permeable unbounded umma than the constrained gendered boundaries of the combative male political Islamism.
