Proving Woman
Around the year 1215, female mystics and their sacramental devotion were among orthodoxy's most sophisticated weapons in the fight against heresy. Holy women's claims to be in direct communication with God placed them in positions of unprecedented influence. Yet by the end of the Middle Ages female mystics were frequently mistrusted, derided, and in danger of their lives. The witch hunts were just around the corner.
While studies of sanctity and heresy tend to be undertaken separately,Proving Womanbrings these two avenues of inquiry together by associating the downward trajectory of holy women with medieval society's progressive reliance on the inquisitional procedure. Inquisition was soon used for resolving most questions of proof. It was employed for distinguishing saints and heretics; it underwrote the new emphasis on confession in both sacramental and judicial spheres; and it heralded the reintroduction of torture as a mechanism for extracting proof through confession.
As women were progressively subjected to this screening, they became ensnared in the interlocking web of proofs. No aspect of female spirituality remained untouched. Since inquisition determined the need for tangible proofs, it even may have fostered the kind of excruciating illnesses and extraordinary bodily changes associated with female spirituality. In turn, the physical suffering of holy women became tacit support for all kinds of earthly suffering, even validating temporal mechanisms of justice in their most aggressive forms. The widespread adoption of inquisitional mechanisms for assessing female spirituality eventuated in a growing confusion between the saintly and heretical and the ultimate criminalization of female religious expression.

S65 Capillary carbon dioxide as a measure of disease severity in acute bronchiolitis
Carbon dioxide (CO2) using capillary blood gas (CBG) analysis is commonly used children with acute bronchiolitis. Evidence to support its use is limited.A retrospective observational study was conducted over two bronchiolitis seasons (2014 -2016) of infants admitted to a tertiary teaching hospital using patient electronic medical records. Using logistical regression models (STATA/IC 12.1) the association between CBG pCO2 and markers of disease severity (length of stay (LOS) and high dependency admission (HDU)) was examined.332 children were assessed with 526 CBG performed in 158 infants (mean age 0.31 years, 54% male, 27% premature, 77% RSV positive). The initial CBG pCO2 was a mean 5.9kPa (SD1.1) and a maximum mean of 6.4kPa (SD1.5). Median LOS was 3 days (range 0–35). A CBG pCO2 >7.0kPa during the admission (in 23% infants (36/158)) was significantly associated with younger age (OR 0.005 (95%CI 0.0007, 0.03); p<0.0001), the use of supplemental oxygen (OR 1.9 (95%CI 1.1, 3.3); p=0.033) (adjusted for age) and inspired fraction of oxygen (FiO2) (slope coefficient 2.01 (95%CI 1.08, 2.94), p<0.0001) (adjusted for age). In 62% (98/158) a CBG was performed in ED and a pCO2 >7kPa (N=26/98) in ED was significantly associated with LOS (IRR 1.4 (95%CI 1.1,1.8); p=0.008) and HDU admission (OR 3.5 (95%CI 1.7,7.8); p=0.001).CBG pCO2 >7 kPa identifies children in ED with more severe disease with longer length of stay and risk of admission to HDU. Our results suggest that CBG pCO2 may be a possible marker of severity in future intervention trials for bronchiolitis.

Annos undeviginti natus: Augustus' Assumption of Power
This essay argues that the statement by Augustus at the head of the Res Gestae about his age at the inception of his power has been mistakenly translated to make him nineteen years old. By considering other cases where known ages can be checked against the use of the formula annos natus, it can be shown that the standard Roman mode of computing age by counting inclusively applies in this instance as it does in all others. In his Res Gestae, Augustus deliberately presented himself as assuming power directly upon the decease of his adoptive father when he initiated his actions as a privatus to save the res publica.
