	Prague Trials - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The trials were the result of a split within the Communist leadership on the degree to which the state should emulate the Soviet Union, and were part of a Stalin-inspired purge of "disloyal" elements in the national Communist parties in Central Europe, as well as a purge of Jews from the leadership of Communist parties.
		As it was typical for Soviet show trials during the Great Purge, the court sessions were thoroughly rehearsed beforehand to ensure the greatest effect and to avoid surprises.
		Though support for Zionism was only one of the accusations made against the defendants, the trials were widely considered to be an extension of Stalin's 1948-53 anti-Semitic campaign against "rootless cosmopolitans", and took place between the arrests and executions of Yiddish writers in the Soviet Union and the so-called Doctors' Plot of early 1953.

		It was initially oriented towards the Soviet Union with a strong Stalinist policy until the Prague Trials shook the party's faith in the USSR.
		The show trials in which mostly Jewish leaders of the Communist Party of Czechoslovakia were purged, falsely implicated Mapam's envoy in Prague as part of a Zionist conspiracy.
		After the Prague Trials and, later, Nikita Khrushchev's secret speech at the 20th Party Congress in the Soviet Union, Mapam moved away from their more left wing positions and became a more moderate social democratic party.

		The trial of six men, accused of bribing London Underground officials, was abandoned after being blighted by illness among jurors and legal delays.
		Some trials were currently too lengthy, too expensive and the jurors available for them were not representative of the population, he argued.
		Trials without jury could only be used where the trial judge agreed to the prosecution request and where it was vetted by the most senior judge in England and Wales.

	Ghost Of The Prague Trial
		The overturn of the convictions in the Prague trial of 1952 by the Czechoslovak Government sent a clear signal to the Kennedy administration that a relaxation of tensions in the cold war was possible.
		The New York Times focused upon the Prague trial of 1952 and reported on the efforts of the Czechoslovak Government to undo their conviction of Rudolf Slansky and Vladimir Clementis.
		In reality, the Prague spring of 1968 was a period of intense struggle when previously repressed elements of Czechoslovak society, gained political power, and began to oppress their opponents.

	Czech Therapy - 'Devitalisation'
		A Czech hospital is undertaking human trials with controversial cancer treatment known as "devitalisation" in the face of a government ban on the technique and questions about its efficacy and safety.
		The ministry's trials were primarily designed to test the validity of Dr. Fortyn's claims that necrotic tissue created in primary tumours through devitalisation caused an immune reaction that prevented and even eliminated metastases.
		One of the surgeons who was involved in the ministry-sponsored human trials, at Bulovka hospital in Prague, Dr. Frantisek Antos, told the Zdravotnicke noviny journal that his patients did develop infection, and experienced an acceleration in the spread of the disease.

		The horse market, Prague's traditional meeting place, was the scene of a brief thrust of Czech nationalism against the Austrian Empire in 1848, when people named the place Wenceslas Square (Václavské nám.).
		Upset with what he thought was the misuse of power by Rome and the German clergy in Prague, Hus questioned the authority of the pope and called for the formation of a Bohemian National Church.
		These include Prague's Church of St. Nicholas in Lesser Town, the Church of St. Nicholas in Old Town, and the Church of St. John of Nepomuk on Hradcany.

		That event was the conclusion of the treason trial of the Jews in Prague, and their condemnation to death.
		The epoch marked by the trials in Prague is not absolute; Russian papers still explain that the Jews condemned to death for sacrificing the interests of Bohemia to the interests of Jewry were "enemies of the Jewish people".
		A second inevitable development from the turning-point of the Prague trials is the intensification of the American diplomatic offensive against Russia, the "cold war".

		They found that in 19 trials no such attempt had been made and in only 2 trials were the new results discussed in the context of an updated systematic review of earlier trials.

	The everlasting effect of primary percutaneous coronary intervention – Even after transport?
		The A Randomized Trial of Thrombolysis Compared to Transfer For Air Primary Angioplasty in Myocardial Infarction (AIR-PAMI) trial, on the other hand, was designed to answer the question of transport for primary PCI in a predominantly North American setting.
		Even though all trials show a consistent clinical benefit with the transfer for primary PCI strategy over on-site thrombolysis, the idea of recanalizing the infarct-related vessel during transfer to “facilitate” PCI is very appealing.
		The PRAGUE studies and DANAMI-2 were randomized clinical trials conducted by committed investigators in countries with a particular geography and health care system.

		Kisch was born into a German-speaking Jewish family in Prague, at that time part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and began his journalistic career as a reporter for a local German language newspaper in 1906.
		His early work is characterised by an interest in crime and the lives of the poor of Prague, taking Jan Neruda, Emile Zola and Charles Dickens's Sketches by Boz as his models.
		In this period of exile, Kisch's work regularly returned to the themes of his Prague home and his Jewish roots and in March 1946 he was able to return to his birthplace.

	A Trial in Prague
		That the trials were shams was revealed beyond doubt after Stalin's death from audio and film footage of the trials and much other evidence, of which Justman makes good use.
		The widows and children interviewed for the film recall their reactions to the arrests, their disbelief at the confessions and even confusion over what to believe because their belief in the system was so strong.
		This one succeeds in the end because of the straightforward manner and clarity in which the relationship to these trials and the political landscape the post war world is told.

		Munzenberg's chief operatives--the urbane Otto Katz, a Sudeten German born in Prague, and the "elegant but slightly seedy" Louis Gibarti, a Hungarian-- were most likely not only Comintern agents, but NKVD cadre as well.
		Koch writes, to be "what no decent person could turn against, in spite of the trials." And so Willi Munzenberg devised the technique of zeroing in on the best of the adversary culture---the enlightened elite of the middle classes--using their sensibility and concern in service to the malign purposes of Stalin.
		As for Katz, he was to meet his end in the Prague trials of 1952, accused of being a Western agent and convicted on the "evidence" of the American traitor and Soviet agent Noel Field, betrayed in fact by the very apparatus he had helped create in the Thirties and Forties.

		Two pieces of research, one a blinded controlled clinical trial, and the other an epidemiological survey, show sound evidence that on the one hand manual physical therapies can improve conception rates, and on the other hand that 23% of patients consulting chiropractors for musculo-skeletal symptoms report improvements in a large number of non musculo-skeletal symptoms.
		This was a blinded, randomised, controlled trial on 166 healthy women between the ages of 22 and 26, with an average four years unsuccessful infertility management, and partners with normal sperm.

		These trials purged elements of the Czechoslovak Communist Party that were considered to be insufficiently supportive of Stalinism, and the most infamous of these trials was against the Secretary General of the Communist Party of Czechoslovakia, Rudolf Slansky.
		In the context of the political trials, she has researched the Slansky trial and compared it to the Rosenbergs trial.
		And to take a look instead at the cultural and political production of such trials and the roles that they fill in a society: the role of the confession, the role of the informer, how trials assume a pedagogical role, how they are a microcosm through which we can look at Cold War culture.
