“…17 In fact, McElduff has argued, Cicero is not primarily making a point against literal translation-which did not really exist as a literary art in Rome-but rather, first, making a claim as to what true Greek style should be like in Latin and thus taking a side in the Atticism vs. Asianism debates; and, second, positioning himself as the true proprietor of the highest level of Roman education, and thus asserting a social and educational distinction. 18 Périon was blissfully unaware of such cultural implications in Cicero's statements, however, and instead he came to the conclusion that what these sentences mean is that there should be no distinction between translating and writing. If one is translating as Cicero did, then one will make the task of the interpres into that of the orator: Now since interpretatio is oratio, and oratio ought to be noble, copious, and splendid, interpretatio is to be carried out by us in such a way that it does not lack these splendors, or rather so that it is not stripped of them.…”

Laurence Humphrey's Interpretatio linguarum (1559) is the most extensive treatise on translation written during the Renaissance. This article offers the first reading of the Interpretatio in its original context, situating it within a mid sixteenth-century debate that saw the Ciceronian controversy spread into translation theory. In 1540, Joachim Périon initiated this debate, and the article begins by exploring why Périon's work was so provocative. Humphrey's Interpretatio was intended as a response to Périon, in which Humphrey dismantles his reading of Cicero and focuses attention on the individual personalities involved in a piece of translation. Following ideas that Erasmus had set forth in Ciceronianus, Humphrey develops an interpersonal view of translation and sees it as a form of self-expression. The article then looks at Gabriel Harvey's densely annotated copy of the Interpretatio. Writing his annotations in 1570, Harvey perceived the original context and significance of the work, and saw it as an important contribution to English translation culture. A coda then speculates on the applicability of concepts from the Interpretatio, and in particular their relevance to Edmund Spenser. Laurence Humphrey's Interpretatio linguarum (1559) is the longest and most comprehensive piece of translation theory that was produced during the European Renaissance. At 622 pages, spanning sacred and secular translation, the Interpretatio treats in three books the ideal formation of a translator, the relationship between

“…Thyroid autoimmunity, defined by the presence of thyroid peroxidase antibodies (TPOAb) and/or thyroglobulin antibodies (TgAb), is relatively common in pregnant women. The prevalence of TPOAb positivity in the first trimester ranges from 5 to 15% in unselected pregnant women (1,2). The prevalence of thyroid autoimmunity is even higher in women with a history of recurrent pregnancy loss, reported as 23 to 31% (3,4).…”

Background: Thyroid autoimmunity in pregnant women has been associated with negative outcomes. Objective: To evaluate the effect of levothyroxine therapy on pregnancy outcomes compared with placebo or no treatment in women without overt hypothyroidism who are TPOAb and/or TgAb-positive. Search Strategy: Ovid MEDLINE, EMBASE, CINAHL, Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials were searched from 1980 to April 17, 2019. Selection Criteria: Pre-specified criteria for inclusion were: randomized trials of levothyroxine versus control (placebo or no treatment) among women with positive TPOAb or TgAb who were pregnant or considering conception. Data Collection and Analysis: Pre-specified data elements were extracted and where appropriate, meta-analyses were conducted. Main outcomes include pregnancy achieved, miscarriage, preterm delivery and live birth. Main Results: From 2,812 citations, 79 citations were identified for full text review. Of these, six trials (total of 2,263 women) were included for qualitative and quantitative analyses. Risk of bias was deemed low for only one trial. There was no significant difference in the relative risk (RR) of pregnancy achieved (RR 1.03; 95% CI 0.93, 1.13), miscarriage (RR 0.93; 95% CI 0.76, 1.14), preterm delivery (RR 0.66; 95% CI 0.39, 1.10), or live births (RR 1.01; 95% CI 0.89, 1.16) in thyroid autoimmune women treated with levothyroxine compared to controls. Conclusion: Among pregnant women or women planning conception, with thyroid autoimmunity, there is a lack of evidence of benefit for levothyroxine use. Recommendations to use levothyroxine in this setting need to be reconsidered.
