PERFORMED IN ELAZIG THE HYMN “I AM THIRSTY OF THE WINE OF LOVE” TRANSCRIPTION AND EXAMINATION
Authors: ÇETİNDAĞ SÜME Gülda , ÇÜMENDİR Emrah
Published: December 2021

Dinî-tasavvufi Türk geleneği içerisinde varlığını sürdüren tasavvuf müziği, İslam yaşantısının kültürel bir sembolüdür. Kültürün mihenk taşları ise âlimler, zahitler, sufiler, mutasavvıflar, ulemalar ve tasavvuf müntesibi şairlerdir.
Bu kimseler, lisan-ı hâllerini yansıtırken tasavvuf müziğinin menşei olan şiir ve musikiyi kaynak edinmişlerdir. Manevi duygulara tercümanlık eden şiir ve musiki; tekke, zaviye ve dergâh gibi mekânlarda vücut bulmuştur. İbadete
hizmet eden bu mekânlar, yüzyıllar boyunca Anadolu topraklarında kültürel zenginliğin yaşatıldığı yerler olarak da var olmuştur. Anadolu, geçmişten günümüze tasavvuf geleneği içerisinde dinî-tasavvufi müziğin yaşam bulduğu önemli
bir merkezdir. Bu merkezin önemli bir alanını da tasavvuf müziğiyle dikkatleri üzerinde toplayan Harput/Elazığ tasavvuf müziği kaplamaktadır. Tekke musikisinin merkezlerinden olan Elazığ, tasavvuf dünyasında adından söz ettiren
pek çok önemli şahsiyete ev sahipliği yapmış bu vesileyle de değinmiş olduğumuz müziğe dair kendi üslubunu meydana getirmiştir. Bölgede icra edilen ilahiler, kulaktan kulağa aktarılarak günümüze kadar ulaşabilmiştir ancak günümüzde
gerek tasavvuf kültürüne has yaşam tarzının kaybolması gerekse de meşk uygulamasının azalması gibi etkenlerden dolayı eserler unutulmaya yüz tutmuştur. Çalışmadaki amaç, derleme yöntem ve teknikleri ile transkripsiyonunu yaptığımız
Elazığ’a ait “Aşkın Meyine Ben Kana Geldim” adlı ilahinin tasavvuf musikisi repertuvarındaki yerini korumaktır. Bu gayede notaya alınan eserin güftesindeki mana ve ezgisindeki nazari durum gözetilerek incelemedeki usuller belirlenmiştir.
Çalışmayla yörenin tasavvuf müziğindeki varlığının korunmasına ve yaşatılmasına ışık tutulacağı düşünülmektedir.
WORK-FAMILY CONFLICT AND ITS EFFECT ON JOB SATISFACTION
Authors: UZUN Hasan
Published: December 2021

İş, gösterilen çaba, faaliyet veya bireylerin hayatını devam ettirmek için ortaya koyduğu uğraştır. Aile, toplumun en küçük sosyal yapısı olarak kabul edilen bir olgudur. İş ve aile, bireylerin yaşamlarının büyük bir bölümünü oluşturmaktadır.
Dolaysıyla iş doyumunu bu süreçten ve etkileşimden ayrı düşünemeyiz. Çünkü iş doyumunu etkileyen en önemli faktörlerden biride ailedir. Özelliklede geleneksel aile yapılarında aile içi yaşanan problemler veya iş ortamlarında yaşanan
problemler bir birlerinde izole edilememektedir. Dolayısıyla da aile içinde yaşanan olumsuzluklar işi, iş ortamında yaşanan olumsuzluklarda aileyi etkilemektedir. Bu nedenle iş-aile arasında yaşanabilecek olumsuzluklar bireyde
strese ve kaygıya, iş ortamlarında verimsizliğe ve çatışmalara neden olabilmektedir. Sonuç olarak bu durum çalışanları, işinden, aile ve iş ortamından memnun olmayan, mutsuz ve başarısız bireyler haline getirmektedir. Bu genel
hipotez doğrultusunda Elazığ ilinde faaliyet gösteren zincir market çalışanlarına iş-aile çatışması ve iş doyumu konusunda bir çalışma gerçekleştirilmiştir.

Kişisel gelişim, postfordist kapitalizm, geç kapitalizm, yeni kapitalizm gibi farklı isimlendirmelerle birlikte anılan yeni ekonominin ve ona eşlik eden esnek birikim mantığının yeniden üretilmesi noktasında önemli bir role sahiptir.
Bir başka ifadeyle yeni ekonomik model, ekonomi-politikanın yeniden üretimi sürecinde toplumsal olana vazgeçilmez bir önem atfetmektedir. Bu sebeple toplumsal aktörlerin öznelliğini yönetmek, yeni ekonomik modelin meşruiyetinin
tamamlamasında önemlidir. Çünkü yeni ekonominin ayırt edici özelliği, yalnızca ekonomi sınırlarında değil, kültürel yaşamı da kapsayacak biçimde toplumsal alanın bütününde yeni veya farklı bir sermaye birikim mantığının hegemonik
hale gelmesidir. Bunun anlamı söz konusu yeni sermaye birikim mantığının, toplumdaki bireylerin kültürel-öznel eğilimlerini dışarıda bırakarak var olamayacağıdır. Bu makale, kişisel gelişim alanının, kapitalist gelişme retoriğinde
tam olarak nerede yer aldığının araştırılmasına dayanmaktadır.

Published: December 2021

The qualitative descriptive method was used by the researcher in this study. The term "qualitative descriptive research" refers to a survey study that determined and described the use of a collaborative writing strategy in teaching composition. The study's objectives are to learn how the teacher uses the collaborative writing strategy in teaching composition in a public junior high school, as well as the students' reactions to the strategies used by the teacher in teaching writing in a public junior high school. The teachers and students of UPT SMP Negeri 6 Makassar's ninth grade were the study's subjects. As a result, the researcher chose one of the two teachers at this school who could use Microsoft 365 and two classes, BI.2 and 9. A, as the subjects of the study. According to the findings, the English teacher at UPT SMP Negeri 6 Makassar frequently employs three of five strategies, including horizontal division parallel writing, stratified division parallel writing, and reactive writing strategy. Furthermore, the researcher discovered that students' responses to the strategies that the teacher implemented in teaching writing of collaborative writing gave a positive response toward the collaborative writing strategy that the teacher used, and students' responses to the strategies that the teacher implemented in teaching writing tend to prefer groups in the form of group discussions rather than writing alone because they cannot exchange information and understanding. Because the students' background knowledge is still insufficient, the researcher discovered that group single author writing and sequential single writing are rarely used by the teacher during the research process.

Published: December 2021

This study investigates the efficacy of audio-visual technologies in assisting MSU third-year students in learning English vocabulary. The interplay of audio-visual aids in educational conversations has been researched from a variety of perspectives (Tuovinen, 2000). Multimedia is a multimodal experience in which information is communicated through text, graphics, pictures, audio, and video. It has been demonstrated that a combination of words and images always carries a substantial quantity of information (Mayer, 2018: 55). The use of multimedia in teaching and learning. The goal of this research is to determine the efficiency of audiovisual aids in the learning of English vocabulary among MSU third-year students. The use of multimedia in instruction and learning threatens the foundations of higher education. The current study investigates how third-year students at Malaysia's Management and Science University use multimedia in their English studies (MSU). To fulfill the study's aims, the researchers used both a qualitative and quantitative approach. An online poll of 200 students enrolled in the Bachelor of English as a second language program was used to construct the study corpus (BTESL). In addition, 150 MSU students from the same program were polled. The study's findings indicate that multimedia inspires BTESL students to learn English creatively and engagingly. It also aroused students' attention and compelled them to learn new terms. Multimedia, according to the study, is an excellent tool for third-year English students. It also helps students enhance their understanding of correct terminology and language.
How EFL Learners Maintain Motivational Factors and Positive Attitudes during COVID-19 Pandemic: A Qualitative Study
Authors: Adara Reza Anggriyashati , Puspahaty Novita
Published: December 2021

The present study aims to analyze how a group of EFL learners in Indonesia maintained their motivation and positive attitudes toward English learning during the Covid-19 pandemic. The present study applied a qualitative study by conducting semi-structured interviews with ten respondents. The results suggest that the Covid-19 pandemic has affected the respondents significantly. At the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic, most respondents were demotivated but they were able to motivate themselves again by reminding themselves of the reasons they learned English in the first place. Those reasons are mostly dominated by extrinsic factors such as their need to get jobs, studying overseas and the benefits of mastering English for their future also motivated the respondents. However, some are still motivated to learn English because they are intrinsically motivated. The results suggest that both intrinsic and extrinsic motivation are needed to maintain learners' motivation and positive attitudes toward language learning. In addition, maintaining personal communication with students during tough times such as the Covid-19 pandemic seems important to be conducted by teachers. By keeping personal communication, teachers can help maintain students' motivation. Besides that, the findings of the present study indicate that the respondents used various methods to maintain their motivation such as using social media to learn English and constantly reminding themselves of their language learning goals. In regards to this, teachers should help students by integrating social media into the lessons and providing affirmations that remind students of the benefits of English language mastery.

Published: December 2021

Treatment for outpatient installations (IRJA) NTB provincial hospitals have used hospital management information systems, but this is still not effective. The information system is not effective because registration centred in the main hall. The centralized registration caused the accumulation of patient queues that occurred in each IRJA polyclinic, and this was due to the absence of an integrated queue number between registrations carried out in the main hall and IRJA polyclinics. Therefore, the governance of information architecture processes needs to be applied to optimize information systems. We use COBIT 4.1 to conduct governance. The aim is to get existing and expected outpatients from Prov. NTB Hospital. So, it can help to manage information architecture to perform quality and competitive outpatient services. The results showed the IT processes selected in PO2 (Determine Information Architecture) and AI4 (Activate and Use). We reach the maturity level of all IT processes at level 3 (the specified process) for conditions as they are and 5 (optimized) for conditions that will occur. The level of maturity can help the NTB Provincial Hospital to improve its services.

Published: December 2021

The citizen's complaint handling system aims to make citizens easily file a complaint against the condition and development of the city so that it can be followed up immediately, but the implementation of this Smart City program is less than optimal. The real condition shows that there are still many citizens who have not used this application. This study aims to evaluate what factors influence the citizen's intention to use the complaint handling application. The methodology used in this study is a qualitative method with a phenomenological approach. This study conducted in-depth interviews with six research informants, then the results of the interviews were tested and analyzed, and the interview data was encoded. The results of this study found factors that influence the intention to use complaint handling applications. These factors are citizen awareness, social influence, perceived usefulness, and trust. The expected result is a new model that can be implemented to improve the use of complaint handling applications and similar e-government services.

Authors: Stulova A. N. , Semenova N. S. , Zheleznyakova A. V. , Akopyan V. S. , Lipatov D. V.
Published: December 2021

Background. Optical coherence tomography angiography (OCT-A) is a promising tool for the detection of microvascular impairment at the preclinical stage of diabetic retinopathy (DR). Evaluation of dynamic OCT-A changes and their association with systemic factors can help to reveal early biomarkers of DR progression.Aim: to evaluate time-related OCT-A changes and their association with systemic factors in type 1 diabetes mellitus (DM1) patients with no apparent DRMaterials and methods. 38 DM1 patients with no apparent DR and 39 healthy volunteers were included in the study. All participants underwent 7-fi eld fundus photography, OCT and OCT-A. We analyzed OCT-A parameters (foveal avascular zone (FAZ) area (mm2), acircularity index (AI), vessel density (VD), skeletonized density (SD)) as well as the results of blood and urea tests.Results. After one year of observation, AI was significantly higher (р = 0.005) and VD0–300 was signifi cantly lower in superfi cial vascular plexus (SVP, p < 0.0001) and deep capillary plexus (DCP, р = 0.032) in DM1 patients. We have also registered a positive correlation between AI and triglycerides (TG) level (r = 0.627, p = 0.007) as well as a negative correlation between ketones and VD (SVP VD0–300: r = –0.695, p = 0.030; intermediate capillary plexus (ICP, VD0–300: r = –0.551, p = 0.041; DCP, VD0–300: r = –0.704, p = 0.003; SVP, VD300–600: r = –0.853, p = 0.001).Conclusions. After one year of observation, we have registered an increase in AI level and a decline in VD in SVP and DCP which can be the earliest signs of DR progression. A signifi cant correlation between these parameters and systemic factors indicates their role as potential DR biomarkers.

Published: December 2021

Background. In the available literature, there are isolated publications devoted to the topic of the possible effect of laser correction by the Femto LASIK method on the myopic eye choroid. In this connection, in our opinion, the relevance of continuing research in this direction remains.The aim of this study was to examine the volume of the retina in the macular zone, the thickness of the choroid and the ciliary body using optical coherence tomography on myopic eyes after femtosecond-assisted laser in situ keratomileusis in the short term.Material and methods. 30 patients (30 right eyes) aged 20 to 35 years, suffering from mild and moderate myopia, but without pathological changes in the retina according to OCT, made up the study group. All patients underwent myopia correction using the Femto LASIK method. Before the operation, after 4 hours and the next day, they underwent the examination of the retinal volume in the macular zone, the choroidal and the ciliary body thickness using OCTResults. The analysis of the obtained results of the studied parameters showed that the ciliary body thickness and the retinal volume in the macular zone did not undergo statistically signifi cant changes and remained within the preoperative values (p > 0.05). We observed a tendency to an increase in the thickness of the choroid 4 hours after the operation, but the carried out statistical analysis did not confi rm the reliability of its changes (p > 0.05). On the next day, the choroidal thickness indices practically recovered to the preoperative level (p > 0.05).Conclusion. A study of the retinal volume in the macular zone, the thickness of the choroid and ciliary body using OCT in myopic eyes in the short term after Femto LASIK showed the absence of statistically signifi cant changes in the studied parameters, which indirectly indicates the safety of this method of laser correction for the posterior segment of the eye.

Published: December 2021

For the treatment of progressive keratoconus in the early stages, corneal collagen crosslinking is currently actively used. This technique is based on the stabilization of the pathological process by increasing the biomechanical properties of the own cornea. The thickness of the cornea less than 400 microns significantly limits the possibility of a standard cross-linking procedure performing.The article analyzes the literature data on the use of various methods of corneal crosslinking with a corneal thickness of less than 400 microns, which signifi cantly limits the possibilities of the standard procedure.It is known, that during crosslinking, at the initial stage, de-epithelialization of the cornea is performed, which, in the postoperative period, leads to a pronounced corneal syndrome. This determined the direction of the fi rst modifi cations of the technique associated with the use of partial de-epithelialization or its complete absence. Later, during cross-linking of “thin” corneas, techniques with the use of additional covering materials were actively used in order to replenish the missing corneal tissue of the patient during the UV irradiation procedure. Among them are the use of a soft contact lens without an ultraviolet fi lter, the use of a corneal lenticule obtained after SMILE surgery, the use of a protective fl ap of the donor cornea obtained using a femtosecond laser from the residual stroma of the corneal disc after descemet membrane transplantation or posterior lamellar keratoplasty. The variety of the proposed modifications and the ongoing search for better options indicate the demand for this technology and the need for further research, taking into account the individual characteristics of the patient’s ectasia.
Choroidal caverns in pachychoroid neovasculopathy
Authors: Pedanova E. K.
Published: December 2021

Background. Choroid plays an important role in the pathogenesis of retinal pathology. Choroidal cavern, a recently identifi ed fi nding of optical coherent tomography (OCT), has been described in some degenerative and atrophic forms of retinal pathology. In the literature, there are only a few studies of choroidal cavers in pachychoroid neovasculopathy, newly described form of age related macular degeneration.The aim: to perform a detailed analysis of choroidal structure on OCT scans of patients with pachychoroid neovasculopathy and to reveal the frequency of choroidal caverns identifi cation.Material and methods. The data of 30 patients (30 eyes) aged 64.4 ± 5.6 years with pachychoroid neovascularization were retrospectively analyzed. The patients underwent spectral OCT and OCT-angiography (OCTA) using a Spectralis device (Heidelberg Engineering, Germany). The protocol was “Posterior Pole”, consisting of 61 scans. To assess the structure of the choroid, an enhanced image depth (EDI) module was used. OCT angiography was performed with a scan area of 6 × 6 mm. These methods were compared to identify choroidal caverns.Results. On OCT subretinal type 1 neovascularization was revealed as a fl at detachment of the pigment epithelium and visualization of blood flow on OCTA in the lesion as angled vessels (21 eyes) or a seafan (9 eyes). On OCT-EDI scans, there was diffuse or local choroidal thickening of choroid with an increase in the vessels of the Haller’s layer and thinning of the choriocapillaries. Choroidal caverns appeared on OCT and en-face OCT as areas with low optical density, round or irregular, located in different layers of the chorioid, without hyperrefl ective boundaries. A typical sign of choroidal cavern is the tail of hypertransmission after the cavern toward the sclera. Choroidal caverns were found in 4 of 30 eyes (13.3 %) and were located both near the choroidal neovascularization lesion and beyond this area.Conclusion. The prevalence of choroidal cavities, a new choroidal biomarker, in pachychoroid neovasculopathy was 13.3 %. Identification of these changes is possible with the use of modern diagnostic techniques (OCT-EDI, OCTA and en-face OCT) that allow visualization the state of the choroid. The prognostic signifi cance of choroidal cavities requires further study.

Authors: Khamnueva L. Yu. , Iureva T. N. , Andreeva L. S. , Chugunova E. V.
Published: December 2021

Autoimmune polyendocrine syndrome type 1 (APS type 1) is a disease characterized by a variety of clinical manifestations resulting from the involvement of multiple endocrine and non-endocrine organs in the pathological process. APS type 1 is a rare genetically determined disease with autosomal recessive inheritance. Mutations in the autoimmune regulator gene (AIRE) lead to a disruption of the mechanism of normal antigen expression and the formation of abnormal clones of immune cells, and can cause autoimmune damage to organs. Within APS type 1, the most common disorders are primary adrenal insufficiency, hypoparathyroidism, and chronic candidiasis. Some understudied clinical manifestations of APS type 1 are autoimmune pathological processes in the eye: keratoconjunctivitis, dry eye syndrome, iridocyclitis, retinopathy, retinal detachment, and optic atrophy. This review presents the accumulated experimental and clinical data on the development of eye damage of autoimmune nature in APS type 1, as well as the laboratory and instrumental methods used for diagnosing the disease. Changes in the visual organs in combination with clinical manifestations of hypoparathyroidism, adrenal insufficiency and candidiasis should lead the clinical doctor to suspect the presence of APS type 1 and to examine the patient comprehensively. Timely genetic counselling will allow early identifi cation of the disease, timely prescription of appropriate treatment and prevention of severe complications.

Authors: Brovkina A. F. , Tsybikova N. D.
Published: December 2021

Epigenetic studies of the level of microRNAs in human oncogenesis indicate their signifi cant role in the development and growth of malignant tumors of various origins. The fi rst works on the role of microRNAs in patients with uveal melanoma appeared in 2008.The aim: to analyze the expression level of miRNA-126 and miRNA-223 in the plasma blood of patients and to determine their signifi cance in the refi ned diagnosis of choroidal melanoma. Materials and methods. We examined 84 patients with choroidal melanoma (CM), mean age – 63.4 ± 1.2 (35–86 y.o.). Localization – a single CM node with a thickness of 0.77–17.19 mm. The control group consisted of 28 volunteers, age – 62.9 ± 1.42 (45–78 y.o.). Plasma miRNA expression levels were determined by real-time PCR.Results. An increase in the level of expression of miRNA-223 and miRNA-126 in blood plasma was confi rmed in all 84 patients with choroidal melanoma N0M0 compared with the control group. An increase in the expression of miRNA-223 and miRNA-126 was proved with an increase in tumor prominence.Conclusion. The obtained results of an increase in the expression of miRNA-223 indicate an increase in cell proliferation, and an increase in the expression of miRNA-126 on the activation of angiogenesis in a growing tumor, which makes it possible to recommend a study of the level of miRNA-223 and miRNA-126 for a more accurate diagnosis of small CM in cases of difficulty of differential diagnosis with other tumor-like diseases of the choroid.

Until now, there is no radical method of treating children with cerebral palsy, which allows us to consider scientific research in this direction reasonable and promising.The aim of the research: to study the effect of exercises on the mini-simulator “Kinesioplatform-swing” with biofeedback on the indicators of motor skills in children with spastic cerebral palsy.Materials and methods. We conducted an open, non-randomized, prospective, comparative, controlled study in pairs (each participant in the main group corresponds to a participant in the control group). The study involved 53 patients aged 4–12 years with cerebral palsy: the intervention group (group 1: n = 27 (13 boys, 14 girls)) and the control group (group 2: n = 26 (11 boys, 15 girls)), comparable in terms of gender, age and severity of movement disorders. Characteristics of the medical intervention: group 1 – botulinum toxin type A (BTA, for exercising against the background of relative muscular normotonus) + exercise therapy + exercises on the mini-simulator “Kinesioplatform-swing” with biofeedback (BFB); group 2 – BTA + exercise therapy. Duration of the study: 2019–2020. The difference between groups in terms of motor skills on the day of hospitalization and after completion of the training program (10 sessions each) was determined. Motor skills were assessed according to the GMFM-66/88 (Gross Motor Function Measure) table using the “Scales for measuring global motor functions”.Results. The inclusion of additional exercises on the mini-simulator “Kinesioplatformswing” with biofeedback in the rehabilitation of patients with movement disorders with spastic cerebral palsy (BTA + exercise therapy) in comparison with the control group. However, the question of the long-term effects of such training remains open and requires further study.

Livestock manure and organic agriculture wastes are an environmental challenge because they contribute to climate change by emitting greenhouse gases. Converting these organic wastes to biogas and bioenergy is a sustainable solution. Farmers, investors, and governmental departments involved in developing on-farm biogas projects need an informed decision-making process to fund such projects. Thus, estimating the required initial investment for a farm-based biogas plant is crucial. This study aims to develop two methods to estimate the cost of farm-based biogas projects, determine their economic viability, and predict the cost of each part of the plant and its related risks. A database for farm-based biogas projects in Canada and the USA was established and analyzed before developing the models. First, six mathematical models were developed using linear regression to predict the capital cost, engineering and design, operation and maintenance, gross revenue, and net profit using Monte Carlo simulation. Second, the probability of cost of components is calculated. The marginal error of cost prediction in initial modeling is about 7% in total, and the economic viability of a biogas plant for a farm housing less than 300 cows is questionable.

Abstract. Natural restoration poses a current theological challenge. Readings that support adaptation, mitigation and recovery efforts are the purpose of writing articles to respond to these challenges. The method used in reading the selected text, namely Genesis 26:12-33, is eco hermeneutic as proposed by Norman Charles Habel. The results showed that Gerar water was compassionate toward Isaac, his family and animals as refugee in the Philistines during that time of famine. However, water stopped serving Isaac because Isaac became unfriendly to him by exploiting him when he was starving. From there Isaac was aware of Water's sovereignty in his encounter with the wells of Sitnah, Esek and Rehoboth. At the same time, Isaac realized that God as the source of Water defends Water in an effort to maintain its intrinsic value for all people fairly.Abstrak. Pemulihan alam menjadi tantangan berteologi saat ini. Pembacaan yang mendukung upaya adaptasi, mitigasi dan pemulihan komunitas alam menjadi tujuan dari penulisan dari artikel untuk merespon tantangan tersebut. Metode yang digunakan dalam pembacaan teks terpilih adalah eco hermeneutic sebagaimana yang digagas oleh Norman Charles Habel. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa Air Gerar berbela rasa dengan Ishak, keluarga dan hewan-hewannya sebagai pengungsi di Filistin selama masa kelaparan saat itu. Namun Air berhenti melayani Ishak karena Ishak menjadi tidak ramah kepadanya dengan mengeksploitasi dirinya saat kelaparan. Dari situ Ishak sadar akan kedaulatan Air dalam perjumpaan dengan sumur Sitnah, Esek dan Rehobot, sekaligus menyadari Tuhan sebagai sumber Air membela Air dalam upayanya mempertahankan nilai intrinsiknya bagi semua orang secara adil.

Minimally invasive coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) is a new technique developed in recent years apart from the conventional method. Our first objective is to compare the postoperative early outcomes of conventional and minimally invasive multivessel (MIM) CABG methods, and second objective is to compare perioperative differences between two surgical techniques. This retrospective, comparative study was conducted at a university hospital with 100 patients, who underwent CABG surgery from November, 1 2019 to June, 1 2020. The data of 50 patients, who underwent MIM CABG (Group M), was certain. Among the patients operated with the conventional method (Group C), 50 patients were randomly selected from the same time period. Examination of early postoperative outcomes revealed that Group C had significantly higher intensive care unit (ICU) stay (p=0.013), significantly higher mechanical ventilation time in ICU (p<0.001), and significantly higher isolated systolic blood pressure (p=0.013). Examination of perioperative variables revealed that Group C had significantly shorter duration of surgery (p<0.001), significantly shorter aortic cross-clamp time (p<0.001), significantly shorter cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) time (p<0.001), significantly lesser graft numbers (p<0.001), significantly lesser left internal mammary artery use (p<0.05), and significantly lesser inotropic support after CPB was discontinued (p<0.05). In the light of these results, MIM CABG was associated with enhanced postoperative early outcomes with prolonged surgery time compared to conventional method.

Atrial Cardiomyopathy: a Role in the Pathogenesis of Atrial Fibrillation and Influence on the Results of Its Treatment
Authors: Stychynskyi Oleksandr S. , Almiz Pavlo O. , Topchii Alina V.
Published: December 2021

The work is dedicated to the issue of atrial cardiomyopathies (ACs). They have a significant effect on the heart function, provoke rhythm disturbances and increase the risk of thromboembolic complications.

The aim. To analyze the latest publications on the topic.

The material for the analysis were the papers published by the leading arrhythmological clinics.

Discussion. This paper describes the origin of the term “atrial cardiomyopathy”, highlights the conditional classification of changes in the atrial myocardium according to the EHRAS classification. The causes of this nosological form may be some types of gene mutations, as well as hypertension, congestive circulatory failure, diabetes mellitus, myocarditis, etc. ACs play an important role in the occurrence of atrial fibrillation (AF) and also affect its natural course and treatment outcomes. Electroanatomical mapping and magnetic resonance data show significant fibrotic changes in the atria in individuals with this form of arrhythmia. The DECAAF study (Delayed enhancement MRI and atrial fibrillation catheter ablation) showed that fibrotic changes in the atrial myocardium are directly related to the frequency of recurrent arrhythmias after catheter ablation. The DECAAFII study confirmed the effectiveness of the influence on the fibrous substrate in the catheter treatment of AF at stages 1 and 2 of fibrosis. The results of catheter treatment depend on the severity of fibrosis, which shows the importance of taking this factor into account when determining the indications for ablation.

Conclusions. Thus, AC is an important component of the pathogenesis of AF. Improvement of techniques for influencing the fibrous substrate will improve the results of catheter treatment of AF.
