Edukacja młodzieży chłopskiej w Galicji doby autonomicznej
Authors: Meissner Andrzej
Published: March 2019

The paper deals with the following questions: the conditions of education of peasant sons, the educational opportunities on an elementary, secondary and higher level as well as the results of this process. In Galicia, especially after it had gained autonomy, there opened real possibilities for learning for peasant children on all levels of education. The offered education was at a very good level, and what is most important in the Polish schools by Polish teachers. Most widespread was compulsory education in folk schools. The secondary school, which originally had an elite character, was becoming ever more democratic in the course of time, the fact demonstrated by a significant proportion of rural youth which in some gymnasiums reached 8-90%. Higher studies were also available for rural youth. In Galicia, when it enjoyed autonomy, 45,4% of pheasant sons studied in the Faculty of Law of the Jagiellonian University, in the Faculty of Philosophy 28,7%, in the Faculty of Theology 18,7% and in the Faculty of Medicine 7,5%. All in all, about 3800 persons of peasant origin completed their studies, which constituted 17,6% of all students. However, education was obtained at the price of many sufferings and with huge physical effort. The graduates of  alician schools originating from rural environment were characterized by great diligence and an aspiration for professional success. In the second half of the 19th century, there began the process of formation of the Galician intelligentsia of peasant descent. The sons of peasants came to occupy high-ranking posts in various professions, they were prominent representatives of Polish science, actively participated in the educational, cultural, social and political life.

The effect of individual epistemological factors on attitudes to nonstandard language use in native speakers of Polish
Authors: Kułak Krystyna , Jaworski Rafał
Published: March 2019

This paper discusses the issue of the influence of personal epistemological tendencies in native speakers of Polish on their perception of non-standard Polish. We argue in favor of taking into consideration the interpersonal differences concerning the way one conceptualizes the reality through the lenses of language as valid factors in of language perception. The essentialist factor in personal epistemology is believed to affect, to a considerable extent subconsciously, one's tolerance to non-standardness and ambiguity, which in turn influences covert and overt attitudes towards not only individual forms, but also entire spoken and written styles. The study described in this paper was devised in order to test and calibrate an experimental design for testing individual language-related epistemological and cognitive tendencies. The subjects are 36 Polish university students with no linguistic training. The study consists of a test designed to assess one’s personal epistemological tendencies representative of essentialist beliefs, and a language perception survey with a focus on non-standard forms in conversational Polish. The tendencies observed in the analysis of the results of the language perception survey and one’s essentialism indicator are discussed in order to propose possible further research.
Transaortic Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation: Learning Curve, Perioperative, and Midterm Follow-Up Results of a Single Center
Authors: D’Ancona Giuseppe , Ince Huesyin , Raspé Christoph , Öner Alper , Caglayan Evren , Safak Erdal , Bushnaq Hasan
Published: March 2019

Background: We present our initial institutional experience with transaortic (TAo) transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) using a self-expanding aortic bioprosthesis.
Methods: A total of 106 patients underwent TAo TAVI with Medtronic CoreValve through a small partial upper sternotomy. We focus our analysis on the overall perioperative results, procedural learning curve (first 30 patients), and midterm follow-up outcomes.
Results: VARC-2 device success was achieved in 95 patients (89%), and there were no intraoperative deaths. Nine patients (8.4%) required a second valve and conversion to standard surgery was required in 2 patients (1.8%). The final aortic insufficiency was grade 0 in 65 patients (62%) and grade 1 in 39 (37%). Although patients treated in the TAo TAVI learning phase required a significantly longer radiation time and contrast agent use, device success (93.4% versus 88.2%; P = .7) and prostheses hemodynamics were similar. All-cause mortality at 30 days was 12% (13/106). At a median follow-up of 392 days (IQR: 216-494 days) estimated overall 1-year survival was 72%. No significant differences were reported in terms of 30-day and 1-year observed mortality, and estimated 1-year survival in the learning and later phase of TAo TAVI.
Conclusion: TAo TAVI can be performed safely even in the very early phase of the learning curve. Although satisfactory results can be achieved from the beginning, a significant reduction in contrast agent use and radiological exposure are expected as the technique is mastered. Good hemodynamics have been documented and should be further improved with modifications achieved in the TAVI self-expandable valves technology.

Published: March 2019

Background: Pacemaker lead–related thrombosis is a rare but severe complication in patients with pacing lead implantation in the right ventricle. We present a case with recurrent syncope after single-chamber implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) implantation. Pacing lead–related thrombosis was observed during open-heart surgery. This induced intermittent pacemaker dysfunction and recurrent syncope.
Case Presentation: A 67-year-old male patient presented with frequent episodes of syncope and a history of dilated cardiomyopathy and paroxysmal ventricular tachycardia. Normal coronary angiography was found, and therefore a single-chamber ICD was implanted into the right ventricle to prevent cardiac events in 2013. However, he was referred to our hospital because of recurrent syncope 3 to 4 years after ICD implantation. A comprehensive investigation was performed to find out the etiology for the recurrent syncope. Pacing lead thrombosis was finally observed during open-heart surgery, which can introduce intermittent pacemaker dysfunction. After the thrombus was removed and the lead was separated from the posterior leaflet of the tricuspid valve, the ICD functioned normally after reprogramming. Oral anticoagulant was prescribed after discharging. During the 1-year follow-up period, this patient was free of syncope.
Conclusions: This case illustrated that pacemaker lead–associated thrombosis should be considered when the cardiac implantable electronic device fails to prevent patients from having cardiac events. Oral anticoagulant might be important for preventing thrombosis among patients with ICD implantation into the right ventricle.

Authors: Drehmer Jeremy E. , Nabi-Burza Emara , Hipple Walters Bethany , Ossip Deborah J. , Levy Douglas E. , Rigotti Nancy A. , Klein Jonathan D. , Winickoff Jonathan P.
Published: March 2019

OBJECTIVES:

To determine how smoke-free and vape-free home and car policies differ for parents who are dual users of cigarettes and electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes), who only smoke cigarettes, or who only use e-cigarettes. To identify factors associated with not having smoke-free or vape-free policies and how often smoke-free advice is offered at pediatric offices.

METHODS:

Secondary analysis of 2017 parental interview data collected after their children’s visit in 5 control practices participating in the Clinical Effort Against Secondhand Smoke Exposure trial.

RESULTS:

Most dual users had smoke-free home policies, yet fewer had a vape-free home policies (63.8% vs 26.3%; P < .01). Dual users were less likely than cigarette users to have smoke-free car (P < .01), vape-free home (P < .001), or vape-free car (P < .001) policies. Inside cars, dual users were more likely than cigarette users to report smoking (P < .001), e-cigarette use (P < .001), and e-cigarette use with children present (P < .001). Parental characteristics associated with not having smoke-free or vape-free home and car policies include smoking ≥10 cigarettes per day, using e-cigarettes, and having a youngest child >10 years old. Smoke-free home and car advice was infrequently delivered.

CONCLUSIONS:

Parents may perceive e-cigarette aerosol as safe for children. Dual users more often had smoke-free policies than vape-free policies for the home. Dual users were less likely than cigarette-only smokers to report various child-protective measures inside homes and cars. These findings reveal important opportunities for intervention with parents about smoking and vaping in homes and cars.
A fogágybetegség mint az atheroscleroticus cardiovascularis betegség rizikófaktora
Authors: Gheorghita Dorottya , Eördegh Gabriella , Nagy Ferenc , Antal Márk
Published: March 2019

Abstract:

Cardiovascular disease is recognized as the leading cause of death and disability in the world. The majority of these deaths can be attributed to atherosclerotic disease and thromboembolic events leading to ischemic heart disease and stroke. The role of inflammation is well recognized in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis and atherothrombosis. Increasing number of studies support the hypothesis that periodontal disease, specifically periodontitis, is a potential risk factor for atherosclerosis and thus cardiovascular disease. Chronic infections of periodontal pockets act as reservoirs for pathogenic microorganisms, their toxins and degradation products, raising the overall systemic inflammatory burden. Entering the circulation and atherosclerotic lesions themselves, they lead to further local and systemic inflammatory response, in all contributing to atherosclerosis progression, potentially increasing cardiovascular risk. Along these lines, good oral health in general and the periodontal treatment in more severe cases may play a role in cardiovascular risk reduction, primary and secondary prevention. The present review summarizes the possible pathophysiological mechanisms linking periodontal and cardiovascular pathology, lists clinical evidence between periodontitis and specific forms of cardiovascular disease and looks forward at the potential role of periodontal treatment in cardiovascular disease prevention and treatment.

Musica et medicina
Authors: Janka Zoltán
Published: March 2019

Abstract:

Depending on the personal attitude toward a given style and performance, music can influence mental activities such as emotion, mood, motivation, psychomotor tempo and possibly cognition. Experimental data indicate that music can alter physiological parameters of somatic functions (blood pressure, heart rhythm, peripheral blood flow, respiration). However, efforts are taken in medicine and neuroscience to decipher brain physiological and morphological correlates in processing or performing music. Modern imaging techniques brought a significant advance in this respect. It appears that there is no single music center in the brain, but depending on the components (melody, rhythm) of the music, more cerebral areas with strong network connections participate in that. Important regions are the upper temporal area (primary, secondary, tertiary auditory cortex), and parts of the frontal and parietal lobes, limbic system, and cerebellum. Beyond the above aspects, medicine joins to music in the field of music therapy. Meta-analyses of controlled studies show that music can be suitable to decrease stress, anxiety, and depression in various disease groups (cardiovascular, oncological, mental) and in medical examinations (surgical, urological, cardiac catheterization). Improvements were observed in motor, cognitive and psychosocial functions after music interventions in stroke rehabilitation. The links between mood disorders and creativity in music belong to medicine as well, where eminent composers can be mentioned, and also the examples of scholar and practitioner physicians playing or composing music superbly.

Published: March 2019

This article was migrated. The article was marked as recommended. Purpose: To evaluate the quality of live distance surgical mentorship as an alternative way to provide continuing professional development (CPD) to practicing ophthalmologists. An activity which could be particularly beneficial to surgeons in remote locations where CPD is difficult to access. Methods: Orbis paired ophthalmologists from the Regional Institute of Ophthalmology (IRO) in Trujillo, Peru and a senior ophthalmologist from Vanderbilt Eye Institute in Tennessee, USA (LW). One week in advance, the Peruvian surgeon sent the mentor patient information confidentially via Cybersight.org, Orbis' telemedicine platform. The mentor reviewed the preoperative information to determine if the case was appropriate for remote guidance and formulated questions to help guide the educational experience. The mentor and mentee also consulted on specific learning objectives. The mentor observed live phacoemulsification surgery over the Internet using audio-visual equipment and Zoom desktop video conferencing software, allowing her to see through the operating microscope in real-time and have constant voice contact with the local surgeon. Post-mentorship a survey was administered to gauge acceptability of the CPD method, as well as their self-assessment on its impact on their skill development. Results: Latency experienced was well within the suggested margin of acceptability and the video quality was broadcast-grade, allowing the mentor to clearly see the anatomy and instrument manipulation. Seven surgeons over four sessions performed twelve phacoemulsification surgeries in Peru, 91.67% of those 12 patients achieved postoperative best corrected visual acuity ≥6/18. Four surgeons completed the survey and 100% agreed or strongly agreed that their objectives had been met and that the CPD had increased their confidence and their surgical skills. The step in the procedure most commonly reported for improvement was nuclear cracking (75% of respondents), followed by hydrodissection, quadrant removal and wound closure (50% each). Conclusions: Distance surgical mentorship in phacoemulsification is an acceptable form of CPD for consultant ophthalmologists. We describe a program with positive user feedback and experiences of improved confidence and microsurgical skill among participants.

This article was migrated. The article was not marked as recommended. Aims: To investigate whether the operations of Continuous Professional Development (CPD) peer groups, within a mental health service in North East England, were compliant with guidelines and recommended standards for continuous professional development. Tees, Esk, Wear Valleys NHS Foundation Trust is one of the largest mental health providers in the United Kingdom. It had 33 identified CPD peer groups at the time. Methods: Standards were derived from the Continuing Professional Development Guideline of the Royal College of Psychiatrists, UK. An audit proforma was generated based on the standards and questionnaires were created to identify compliance with standards. This was an audit conducted as an electronic questionnaire survey, as reported by co-ordinators of identified peer groups. This was conducted in November 2013. Results: Thirty (30) peer group co-ordinators responded (response rate of 90%). Twenty-Seven (27) groups (90%) had all members enrolled in an approved CPD programme. Twenty-Three (23) groups (76%) met the recommended size of membership. A co-ordinator was clearly identifiable in 27 groups (90%). All groups do undertake review and identification of learning objectives. Twenty-Five (25) groups (83%) do approve CPD activities and award credits. Twenty-Nine, 29 (96%) document meetings. Twenty-Eight, 28 (93.3%) do provide advice, remedies and support. Twenty-Eight, 28 (93.3%) do sign off CPD portfolios. Areas needing improvement were the provision of evidence of attendance to learning activities and evidence of reflection (80%); and invitation of external observers to observe peer group meetings (43.3%). Conclusion: These results give confidence that continuous professional development is occurring to envisaged standards.To improve practice, groups should consider incorporating the approval of CPD activities and credits into meetings; setting aside time for reflection and invite external observers to comment on functioning of groups. Some groups were too large and few needed a clearly identified co-ordinator and regular meeting times.

Aim. In the issue we report first in Russia experience of transcatheter “valve-invalve” implantation (TVIV) for treatment of severe tricuspid stenosis due to the structural deterioration of surgical tricuspid bioprosthesis.

Material and methods. TVIV was performed in 4 high-risk redo patients (1 to 3 previous sternotomies) of various ages across (18-68 years) with structural deterioration of surgical tricuspid bioprosthesis.

Results. Technical success was achieved in 100% cases. Diastolic gradients on tricuspid valve markedly decreased in all patients. Peak transtricuspidal gradient decreased from 20,4 to 10 mmHg in average. Clinical improvement as assessed by 6-minute walk test after TVIV was observed in 3 patients with congestive heart failure. In 1 patient with asymptomatic right ventricle dysfunction TVIV resulted in the enhancement of echocardiographic parameters.

Conclusion. TVIV is a mininvasive alternative to conventional surgical tricuspid valve redo replacement. Based on available data including own experience TVIV should be considered an effective and safe treatment option for failed TV bioprostheses in high-risk patients of different age. Further studies are needed to assess long-term results of the method.
Smoke cessation in cardiovascular pathology from the perspective of evidence-based medicine
Authors: Sukhovskaya O. A. , Kulikov N. V.
Published: March 2019

The effectiveness of smoking cessation methods has been studied in various studies. However, little is known about the peculiarities of treatment of nicotine dependence in patients with cardiovascular diseases. In the presented review, according to the literature, the prevalence and characteristics of smoking, the duration of abstinence from smoking in patients with cardiovascular diseases with different methods of quitting tobacco use are described.

It is shown that smoking cessation not only shows long-term positive effects, but almost immediately the supply of cells with oxygen increases, platelet aggregation, fibrinogen synthesis decreases. Carrying out treatment for nicotine addiction, especially when combined with behavioral support, significantly increases the effectiveness of quitting smoking. With the cardiovascular pathology, the efficacy and safety of varenicline has been proven.

Published: March 2019

The accumulation of cholesterol under the influence of modified low density lipoprotein is a key cause of atherogenesis. It is known that atherosclerosis is accompanied by chronic local inflammation. Monocytes/macrophages, main cells of the innate immunity, may not only capturing and accumulating lipids in the vascular wall, but also secreting signaling molecules that affect the functions of other cells. An atherosclerotic lesion is characterized by the inability to complete the inflammatory response, as a result of which the inflammation becomes chronic. Intracellular lipid accumulation is a necessary condition for the initiation of atherogenesis, but it is not known whether it is sufficient. Analysis of the transcriptome allowed us to characterize the state of macrophages loaded with lipids. Studies presented in this review show that the reaction of innate immunity contributes to the accumulation of intracellular lipids and aggravates it.
Computing and Explaining Query Answers over Inconsistent DL-Lite Knowledge Bases
Authors: Bienvenu Meghyn , Bourgaux Camille , Goasdoué François
Published: March 2019

Several inconsistency-tolerant semantics have been introduced for querying inconsistent description logic knowledge bases. The first contribution of this paper is a practical approach for computing the query answers under three well-known such semantics, namely the AR, IAR and brave semantics, in the lightweight description logic DL-LiteR. We show that query answering under the intractable AR semantics can be performed efficiently by using IAR and brave semantics as tractable approximations and encoding the AR entailment problem as a propositional satisfiability (SAT) problem. The second issue tackled in this work is explaining why a tuple is a (non-)answer to a query under these semantics. We define explanations for positive and negative answers under the brave, AR and IAR semantics. We then study the computational properties of explanations in DL-LiteR. For each type of explanation, we analyze the data complexity of recognizing (preferred) explanations and deciding if a given assertion is relevant or necessary. We establish tight connections between intractable explanation problems and variants of SAT, enabling us to generate explanations by exploiting solvers for Boolean satisfaction and optimization problems. Finally, we empirically study the efficiency of our query answering and explanation framework using a benchmark we built upon the well-established LUBM benchmark.

Bitki paraziti nematodlar (BPN) özellikle de kök-ur
nematodları (Meloidogyne spp.) (KUN),
yaygın olarak dağılım gösteren ve geniş bir ürün yelpazesinde önemli verim
kayıplarına neden olan nematodlardır. Önemli KUN türleri ise, Meloidogyne arenaria Chitwood (1949), Meloidogyne exigua Goeldi, 1892, Meloidogyne graminicola Golden and Birchfield, 1965, Meloidogyne hapla Chitwood,

ddRADSeq in a Field Setting v3
Authors: Watsa Mrinalini , Erkenswick Gideon , Pomerantz Aaron , Prost Stefan
Published: March 2019

This protocol begins with blood stored in Longmire's solution and has as its goal, the sequencing of genomic DNA from several individuals onto a single MinION sequencing run. It is based on a protocol outlined by Thrasher et al. (2018) for the same process on a large number of warbler samples, but it differs from this original protocol in a few key ways: Since we ultimately were targeting sequencing by a MinION sequencer, the ultimate processing steps reflect library preparation for runs on this device, instead of Illumina sequencers. For the same reason, we also size selected larger fragments than can be sequenced on a MiSeq platform. This protocol is also meant to only analysed a few individuals (20 or less) since the MinION read coverage is lower than that of a MiSeq. The entire protocol was carried out in a field laboratory in the southeastern Peruvian Amazon, and therefore many of the luxuries a institutional laboratory can afford were not present to us We used gel-based size selection in the absence of methods such as Blue Pippin. We stored blood on FTA cards and in Longmire's solution in our sampling program. We discovered that yields from FTA cards, regardless of including large numbers of hole punches per extraction, simply were too low for the sequencing goals of this project. Therefore, we include the protocol of a WGA amplification step for these low samples. Longmire's solution produced higher yields, but some times, multiple extractions might need to be pooled together with an SPRI bead cleanup to be fully effective.

The Ukrainian Directorate and Entente Nations Representatives’ Negotiations in January March of 1919
Authors: Gorodnia Nataliya
Published: March 2019

The paper studies the content and the matter of negotiations between the Directorate of the Ukrainian People’s Republic’s (the UNR) representatives and the allied (French) military command in Odessa, as well as the Entente nations’ leaders and diplomats in Paris in January-March of 1919. The author argues that a victory of the Entente nations in the Great War did not create a favorable environment for the foundation of an independent Ukrainian national state, for the victorious nations did not tolerate Russia’s disintegration. They did not recognize independence of Ukraine and had a negative attitude towards the Directorate. However, the latter’s control over the Ukrainian territory and its large and battle worthy army shaped a background for its engagement into the united front against bolshevism. During the negotiations in Odessa, the French military command offered a military support to the Directorate in exchange for protectorate of France over Ukraine for the period of war against Bolsheviks. The UNR representatives could hardly accept the terms, and the talks lasted for about two months. Meanwhile, the strategic situation in Ukraine had fundamentally changed. As soon as the Directorate has lost the territories it controlled and its army has been mostly dismissed, the Entente nations lost their interest in dealing with it. Instead, they focused on strengthening Poland and Romania to contain the Bolshevik expansion to the West. It is concluded that in January-March of 1919, the window of opportunities for Ukrainians existed to avoid Bolsheviks’ rule and to become a partner of victorious nations in containment of bolshevism. The cooperation could create other opportunities, especially if Soviet Russia survived. All along of the ineffectiveness and weakness of the regime of the Directorate, the historic chance has been lost.
Anglo-Canadian Historiography Genesis of the French Canadian Nationalism
Authors: Mashevs’kyi Oleg , Baraboi Myroslav
Published: March 2019

The article investigates the genesis of the French-Canadian nationalism in the Anglo-Canadian historiography. The essence of debate that arose among English-Canadian historians about the conquest of New France (Quebec) by Great Britain as one of the main causes of the French-Canadian problem is analyzed. In particular, as opposed to the pro-British point of view, which considers this conquest as a progress and benefit for the residents of French Canada, its opponents considered the issue as a tragedy for the French Canadians. Particularly the attention is drawn to the changes of the historiographical paradigm after the Second World War, when even pro-British historians had to reconsider their attitude to conquest Canada by Great Britain and recognize its consequences for the French Canadians. Special attention is paid to the reflection of the Anglo-Canadian historiography upon the uprising in 1837-1838 in Quebec on as one of the first manifestations of the radical French-Canadian nationalism. The basic approach in the Anglo-Canadian historiography about members of radical and liberal leaders of French-Canadian nationalism (H. Bourassa, L. Groulx, J. P Tardivel, H. Mercier), which contributed to the institutionalization and politicization of French-Canadian nationalism have been disclosed. The article also clarifies the position of the Anglo-Canadian historiography about the genesis of the “Quiet revolution” in Quebec as of the highest expression of French-Canadian nationalism.

Navigating Campus Controversies: Seeking Truth, Respecting Speech, and Cultivating Intellectual Fairness in Higher Education
Authors: TAYLOR REBECCA M. , KUNTZ ASHLEY FLOYD
Published: March 2019

In this essay, Rebecca M. Taylor and Ashley Floyd Kuntz explore the higher education aims of advancing truth, respecting speech, and fostering inclusive learning environments in the context of controversial invited speakers on college campuses. They consider the case of Charles Murray's visit to Middlebury College in 2017. They argue that intellectual fairness—which centers the importance of pursuing truth, combating bias, and supporting the intellectual development of members of the academic community—is an appropriate guiding virtue when navigating the intellectual and democratic aims of higher education. They look to advance intellectual fairness as a normative framework for understanding the aims and responsibilities of higher education institutions.
The Practice of Listening to Children: The Challenges of Hearing Children Out in an Adult-Regulated World
Authors: YOON HAENY S. , TEMPLETON TRAN NGUYEN
Published: March 2019

In this research article, Haeny Yoon and Tran Nguyen Templeton explore the challenges of listening to children in both classrooms and research that purports to center young children. Through two stories from their respective studies, Yoon and Templeton highlight the complexities of following children's leads given the competing agendas situating the work of teachers and researchers in neoliberal contexts. Time constraints, curricular mandates, and research expectations limit children's valuable contributions to their sociocultural communities. The authors' goal is to discuss the possibilities in taking up children's words, gestures, and moves as knowledge. They contend that children's voices should not simply be heard for curricular purposes, for adults' amusement, to forward a neoliberal agenda, or to maximize our own goals and pursuits. Instead, we should listen to understand the creativity and intelligence of young children whose social worlds are meaningful.

Çanakkale Boğazı’nın Avrupa yakasında yer alan Maydos Kilisetepe Höyüğü’nde 2010 yılındangünümüze kadar yapılan kazılarda ağırlıklı olarak Tunç Çağı’na tarihlenen sekiz tabaka tespit edilmiştir vehenüz ana kayaya ulaşılamamıştır. M.Ö. 2. binyıl boyunca kesintisiz bir tabakalanmaya sahip olan höyüğünkazısı yapılan alanlarında yerleşim şeması, mimari gelenekleri ve yenilikleri, savunma ve özel işlevli yapılarıhakkında bilgi edinilmiştir. Tabakaların başlangıç ve bitiş zamanları ile Troia tabakaları arasında kısmen birparalellik olduğu tespit edilmiştir. M.Ö. 2. binyıla ait üst üste kurulan dört yerleşimin de planlaması BatıAnadolu’dan bilinen Anadolu Yerleşim Şeması’nın bir devamı niteliğindedir. M.Ö. 2. binyılın başlarındaMaydos’un seramik ve küçük buluntuları Kuzeybatı Anadolu özellikleri gösterirken devam eden süreçteBalkanlardaki kültürlerle girilen ilişkinin bir sonucu olarak bu özelliklerin azaldığı anlaşılmıştır. Maydos ileBatı Anadolu, Ege, Orta ve Güneydoğu Avrupa kültürleri arasında kurulan kültürel bağlantılar, KuzeybatıAnadolu’nun tarihöncesi bilgilerinin yeniden değerlendirilmesine olanak sağlamaktadır.
Hypolipidemic Therapy and Chronic Kidney Disease: Effects on Cardiovascular Risks and Renal Dysfunction
Authors: Aitbaev K. A. , Murkamilov I. T. , Fomin V. V.
Published: March 2019

Steady increase in the prevalence of chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a serious public health problem, since CKD potentially leads to the development of end-stage renal disease (ESRD) that requires high-cost replacement therapy and is closely associated with increased risk of developing cardiovascular diseases (CVD), which are the cause of death in most patients. Progression of renal dysfunction and development of CVD are significantly affected by hyper- and dyslipidemia. This review contains results of studies evaluating the effect of hypolipidemic therapy on reduction of cardiovascular risk and slowdown of renal dysfunction in patients with CKD at pre-dialysis and dialysis stages of renal failure, as well as in patients with kidney transplant. In addition, recommendations on nutrition and new therapeutic approaches to lipid-lowering therapy in patients with CKD, as well as prospects for the usage of new hypolipidemic drugs are also presented.
