Monaster bazylianów w Werchracie w świetle dokumentów sporządzonych przed jego kasatą w 1808 r.
Authors: Ujma Magdalena 
Published: January 2020

W roku 1808 zostały sporządzone inwentarze, m.in. „Realności klasztoru bazyliańskiego werchrackiego”, dzięki którym można w przybliżeniu ocenić jego sytuację materialną. Dokumenty te są obecnie częścią zasobu Centralnego Państwowego Archiwum Historycznego Ukrainy we Lwowie. Klasztor należał wówczas do diecezji przemyskiej, dekanatu potylickiego i cyrkułu żółkiewskiego. Przyczyną podjęcia pracy nad inwentarzem była planowana konfiskata mienia werchrackich bazylianów. Okazało się jednak, że z powodu zaniedbania kasata została odsunięta w czasie, a dostępne dzisiaj regestry nie były pierwszą próbą dokonania spisu dóbr należących do bazylianów w tym trudnym okresie.
Konfiskatę dóbr ruchomych i nieruchomości monasteru w Werchracie zarządzono już w 1804 r., więc dwa lata później mnisi przenieśli się już do Krechowa. W rzeczywistości jednak aż do 1808 r. nie było mowy o faktycznym przejęciu dóbr klasztornych przez państwo. Dokumenty związane z kasatą nieruchomości bazylianów z Werchraty wydają się jednak dowodzić, że władze austriackie nie naciskały zbyt mocno na szybkie przeprowadzenie konfiskaty. Powodem tego mogło być przewidywanie niewielkiej korzyści z kasaty monasteru. Można sformułować hipotezę, że dobrodzieje monasteru byli zainteresowani odsuwaniem konfiskaty w czasie, a sformalizowane działania austriackiej biurokracji mogły im to skutecznie umożliwić.
Zachowane inwentarze kasatowe monasteru w Werchracie ujawniają jego problemy materialne. U progu konfiskaty klasztornego majątku nieliczna społeczność werchrackich mnichów była już połączona ze społecznością zakonników monasteru w Jamnicy, co dowodzi niewielkiej liczebności obu monasterów. Niepokojąca była przy tym niegospodarność bazylianów, którzy nie potrafili należy­cie wykorzystać nadanych sobie przywilejów i uposażeń. Wyjaśnienie tego stanu rzeczy wymagałoby jednak głębszej naukowej analizy, możliwej dopiero po odszukaniu dokumentacji gospodarczej powstałej w okresie przed- i porozbiorowym.

Objective – to study the characteristics of the distribution and visualization of ganglionated plexuses in the left atrium (LAGP) in healthy volunteers.Objective and methods. The investigation enrolled 15 healthy volunteers (median age 31 [26; 41] years). The investigation participants successively underwent cardiac computed tomography (CT) and SPECT using the neurotropic radiopharmaceutical 123I-MIBG. The obtained images were combined to identify and assess sympathetic activity foci (SAF) in the left atrium. The identified SAFs were ranked with a confidence probability (CP) on the basis of their correspondence to the anatomical location of LAGP, as well as the discreteness and prevalence of the surrounding structures.Results. A total of 36 SAFs (median per participant was 2 [2; 3]) were identified; of them 20 (56%) had a low CP (median per participant was 1 [1; 2]); 16 (44%) had intermediate and/or high CP (median per participant was 1 [1; 1]). Three investigation participants (3/15) were found to have no SAFs with an intermediate and/or high CP. SAFs with an intermediate and/or high CP most frequently corresponded to the location of the left and right upper LAGPs (4/16 and 3/16 cases, respectively).Conclusion. Hybrid SPECT/CT with the neurotropic 123I-MIBG allows the identification of SAFs in healthy volunteers, which correspond to the typical location of LAGPs.

Objective – to compare the diagnostic efficiency of whole-body diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (DW-MRI) and positron emission tomography combined with computed tomography (PET/CT) in the staging of lymphomas.Material and methods. The prospective study enrolled 92 adult patients with Hodgkin's lymphoma or non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. Before treatment, all the patients underwent whole-body DW-MRI and PET/CT. The techniques were compared for their efficiency in diagnosing damage to lymph nodes (LNs) and organs and in determining the stage of lymphoma.Results. The sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy of DW-MRI in diagnosing a lesion in the enlarged LNs were 98.2%, 99.9%, and 99.3%, respectively; those of PET/CT were 99.4%, 100.0%, and 99.8%. ROC analysis showed that the efficiency of the techniques in diagnosing a lesion in the enlarged LNs did not differ (p>0.06). The sensitivity of DW-MRI and PET/CT in diagnosing a lesion in the unenlarged LNs was 77.8% and 88.1%, respectively (p<0.001). The sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy of DW-MRI in diagnosing lung damage were 73.3%, 98.7%, 94.6%; those of PET/CT were 86.7%, 98.7%, and 96.7%; those for the spleen were 54.8%, 98.3%, 83.3% and 100.0%, 100.0%, 100.0%; those for bone marrow (BM) were 87.1%, 96.4%, 93.0% and 64.5%, 87.3%, 79.1%,; those for all organs were 72.9%, 98.1%, 91.4% and 80.0%, 96.6%, 92.2%. The ROC analysis indicated that the efficiency of the techniques in diagnosing a lesion in the lung did not differ (p>0.3), that of PET/CT for the spleen was higher (p <0.0001); that of DW-MRI for BM was higher (p<0.0008); that for all organs did not differ (p>0.35). DW-MRI and PET/CT could determine the correct stage of lymphoma in the same number of patients (86%). The new lymphoma staging algorithm involving whole-body DW-MRI in all patients, PET/CT, and BM biopsies according to the established indications made it possible to determine the correct stage of lymphoma in 95% of patients.Conclusion. Whole-body DW-MRI has comparable efficiency to PET/CT in the staging of lymphoma. The new lymphoma staging algorithm based on whole-body DW-MRI is superior to PET/CT and PET/CT with BM biopsy.
The Possibility for Iodine Concentration Determination in a Phantom with Known Titers of an Iodine-Containing Contrast Agent, by Using Dual-Energy Computed Tomography
Authors: Chaban A. S. , Sinitsyn V. E. 
Published: January 2020

Objective: to study the capabilities of single-source dual-energy computed tomography (DECT) in quantifying the concentration of iodine in solutions.Material and methods. Single-source DECT was performed using a phantom containing a set of 5 tubes with a different titer of the iodine-containing contrast agent Iopamidol. Further, the obtained images were used to construct iodine maps; and the concentration of iodine was measured within the volume of the titrated contrast agent.Results. Despite a high correlation between the measured iodine concentration in solution with the true concentration (Pearson's correlation coefficient r = 0.98; p < 0.01), there is a measurement error that was 4.8 to 23% at different dilutions.Conclusion. Signal-source rapid voltage switching DECT does not allow precise measurements of the true concentration of iodine in solution. To eliminate measurement errors in further in vivo studies using singlesource DECT, it may be that attention must be paid to the measurement of normalized iodine concentration.

Objective: to estimate the diagnostic value of the anatomical characteristics of the intracisternal portions of the trigeminal nerves and adjacent arteries in diagnosing classical trigeminal neuralgia (TN).Material and methods. Fast Imaging Employing Steady-state Acquisition (FIESTA) using an isotropic MRI sequence was used to analyze the anatomical characteristics of the intracisternal portions of the trigeminal nerves and adjacent arteries in 133 patients, including 86 patients aged 55±11 years with clinically and surgically verified TN and in 47 patients aged 51±16 years in the control group. The investigators measured the cross-sectional areas of the trigeminal nerves at 5 mm from the pons cerebelli, the ratio of the largest-to-smallest nerve diameters at similar points, the distance to the adjacent arteries, and that between the closest neurovascular contact (NVC) point and the pons cerebelli. Characteristic curves (CC) were constructed and reference points with the highest specificity were selected with an acceptable sensitivity level for all parameters. Positive and negative predictive values (PPV and NPV, respectively) are determined for each reference point.Results. The area under the CC was equal to 0.77 for the ratio to the diameters of the trigeminal nerves near the pons cerebelli. At a reference point of 1.89, the sensitivity/specificity (Se/Sp) ratio was 0.57/0.82 with a PPV of 0.74 and an NPV of 0.83. The area under the curve for the cross-sectional areas of the trigeminal nerves at the pons cerebelli was 0.76. The reference point with an area of 3.65 mm2 yielded a Se/Sp ratio of 0.52/0.8 with a PPV of 0.51 and an NPV of 0.91. The distance to the adjacent artery gave an area under the CC of 0.72. The Se/Sp ratio at a reference point of 1.65 mm turned out to be 0.53/0.789 at a PPV of 0.55 and an NPV of 0.92. The area under the CC for the distances between the NVC point and the pons cerebelli was 0.75. The reference point of 4.05 mm with a Se/Sp index of 0.6/0.78 was characterized by a PPV of 0.77 and an NPV of 0.94.Conclusion. All the analyzed anatomical parameters showed an acceptable diagnostic value in diagnosing TN. Certain reference values of the parameters can be used to diagnose TN with the highest acceptable specificity at the maximum NPV to reduce frequent false-positive results.

Published: January 2020

Objective: to increase the accuracy of computed tomography (CT) in the diagnosis of hepatomegaly.Material and methods. The investigation is based on the analysis of the results of 603 abdominal CT examinations, which are available in the radiology information systems of the city of Moscow. Six liver parameters (the transverse, vertical, and anteroposterior dimensions of the right and left lobes) were measured. The volume of the organ, the right and left lobes was determined when building three-dimensional images with an IntelliSpace Portal multimodality station (Philips) and a special Synapse 3D software system (Fuji).Results.It was established that there was the most pronounced relationship to the true liver volume among all sizes when using only one parameter for the anteroposterior size of the right lobe (r = 0.66), the sum of the two ones for the vertical and anteroposterior sizes of the right lobe (r = 0.83), the sum of three sizes for the vertical, anteroposterior, and transverse dimensions of the right lobe (r = 0.86). ROC analysis was used to calculate the threshold values of the sum of two and three proposed parameters (34 and 42 cm, respectively). The sensitivity of the technique in identifying hepatomegaly, which was established on the basis of the sum of the vertical and anteroposterior dimensions of the right lobe, compared with only one-parameter orientation, increased from 26% to 87%; the specificity rose from 53% to 86%; when using the sum of the vertical, anteroposterior, and transverse dimensions of the right lobe, that was as much as 89% and 84%, respectively. Approximating the cubic root of the volume with the least squares method allowed one to create new and convenient formulas for calculating the volume of the liver.Conclusion. Determination of the sum of the vertical and anteroposterior dimensions of the right lobe (threshold value, 34 cm) is an optimal approach to diagnosing hepatomegaly. If there is a need for knowledge of the volume of the liver in the absence of special programs for its segmentation, data can be obtained using the created formula that takes into account two proposed liver sizes.

Published: January 2020

Objective of this article – to evaluate possibilities to visualize cardiac visceral adipose tissue by echocardiography, computed tomography (CT), and magnetic resonanse imaging (MRI) and to systematize data on its physiological and pathological roles. To achieve this goal, the authors analyzed relevant Russian and foreign sources of literature in the scientific libraries eLIBRARY and PubMed, by using the keywords: “pericardial fat”, “epicardial fat”, “visceral fat of the heart”, “epicardial adipose tissue”, “pericardial adipose tissue”, and “adipocytokine”. Actual data as of November 2018 were collected. The review presents up-to-date data on the physiological and pathophysiological roles of cytokines secreted by pericardial adipose tissue, as well as on correlations and possible theories of the relationship between the volumes of pericardial adipose tissue and the development of coronary heart disease, atrial fibrillation, and metabolic syndrome. According to echocardiography, epicardial adipose tissue thickness is a reliable predictor for the presence of high-risk atherosclerotic plaques in the coronary arteries. Adipose tissue volume can be measured with high accuracy using CT (manual, semi-automatic, and automatic methods).A number of studies prove that MRI can be used for assigned tasks. The current notion of the role of these adipose depots can potentially be used in assessing the risk of cardiovascular diseases. The literature review presented confirms that visceral adipose tissue of the heart has a direct effect on the myocardium and coronary arteries and can be quantified using echocardiography, CT and MRI.

Nursing staff’s evaluation of facilitators and barriers during implementation of wireless nurse call systems in residential care facilities. A cross-sectional study.
Authors: Dugstad Janne , Sundling Vibeke , Nilsen Etty R. , Eide Hilde 
Published: January 2020

Abstract
Background: Traditional nurse call systems used in residential care facilities rely on patients to summon assistance for routine or emergency needs. Wireless nurse call systems (WNCS) offer new affordances for persons unable to actively or consciously engage with the system, allowing detection of hazardous situations, prevention and timely treatment, as well as enhanced nurse workflows. This study aimed to explore facilitators and barriers of implementation of WNCSs in residential care facilities. Methods: The study had a cross-sectional descriptive design. We collected data from care providers (n=98) based on the Measurement Instrument for Determinants of Innovation (MIDI) framework in five Norwegian residential care facilities during the first year of WNCS implementation. The self-reporting MIDI questionnaire was adapted to the contexts. Descriptive statistics were used to explore participant characteristics and MIDI item and determinant scores (D1-29). MIDI items to which ≥20% of participants disagreed/totally disagreed were regarded as barriers and items to which ≥80% of participants agreed/totally agreed were regarded as facilitators for implementation. Results: More facilitators (n=22) than barriers (n=6) were identified. The greatest facilitators, reported by 98% of the care providers, were the expected outcomes: the importance and probability of achieving prompt call responses and increased safety (D9 expected outcomes), and the normative belief of unit managers (D15 subjective norm). During the implementation process, 87% became familiar with the systems (D18 awareness of content), and 86% and 90%, respectively regarded themselves (D17 knowledge) and their colleagues (D14 descriptive norm) as competent users of the WNCS. The most salient barriers, reported by 37%, were their lack of prior knowledge (D17 knowledge) and that they found the WNCS difficult to learn (D8 personal drawback). No features of the technology were identified as barriers. Conclusions: Overall, the care providers gave a positive evaluation of the WNCS implementation. The barriers to implementation were addressed by training and practicing technological skills, facilitated by the influence and support by the manager and the colleagues within the residential care unit. WNCSs offer a range of advanced applications and services, and further research is needed as more WNCS functionalities are implemented into residential care services.

Abstract
Background: Inasmuch as accreditation is of great significance for hospitals, this study aimed to explain the accreditation challenges of Iranian hospitals through a content analysis approach. Methods: A qualitative study was run through the content analysis method in 2018. 19 semi-structured interviews were conducted with experts and data were saturated. To increase the accuracy and precision of the study, Guba and Lincoln’s four criteria including credibility, dependability, conformability and transferability were used. MAX QDA 10 was used for data analysis via 5-step framework analysis approach. Results: The findings identify 5 main themes and 29 subthemes. The main themes included macro and policy making issues, evaluators' issues, structures and processes, executive issues, and accreditation measures. The macro policy making issues include: non-alignment of accreditation policies, waste of resources, lack of independent organization for accreditation, ignoring the stakeholders and contradictory regulations. Evaluators issues contain: shortage of evaluators, high current expenditures of evaluators, lack of motivation, irrelevancy of evaluators' expertise, conflict of interest and irregular and tight schedules of evaluations. Structural and process challenges involve: ignoring the infrastructures, unstandardized old hospital buildings, lack of competition between hospitals, Inconsistency of hospitals` strategic plan and instrumental use of accreditation by hospitals. Executive issues comprise high workload and dissatisfaction, lack of attention to main tasks, staff resistance against accreditation, lack of physicians` involvement and its time-consuming nature. And finally the last theme, Accreditation measures consist: Interference and parallel measures, ambiguity and unclearness of measures, using the same measures for different hospitals, weakness of measures, uniform weight of measures, inappropriate structure of scoring and failure to revise the measures. Conclusion: The results shed light on the fact that Iranian hospitals need to experience major changes in applying accreditation as a quality assurance mechanism. In other words, it seems necessary for policy makers affiliated with Ministry of Health and Medical education to revise accreditation measures according to hospital needs and try to clarify the structure and executive process of the accreditation. Moreover, improving and standardizing the evaluators` skills is recommended.

Abstract
Background: Motoric cognitive risk syndrome (MCR) is a newly proposed predementia syndrome incorporating subjective cognitive complaints and slow gait. Previous studies have reported that subjective cognitive complaints and slow gait are associated with frailty in cognitively unimpaired older adults, but little is known about the link between MCR and frailty in older adults. Therefore, the aim of the study was to explore the associations of MCR and its components with frailty in older Chinese adults. Methods: In an observational cross-sectional study, a total of 429 older adults aged 60 years and older were admitted to the geriatric department. According to MCR criteria, all participants were classified into 4 groups: 1) the MCR group; 2) the subjective cognitive complaints only group; 3) the slow gait only group; and 4) the healthy control group. Physical frailty was assessed by the Clinical Frailty Scale (CFS). Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to examine the association between MCR and frailty in older adults. Results: The prevalence rates of subjective cognitive complaints, slow gait and MCR were 15.9%, 10.0% and 4.0%, respectively. After adjusting for confounding variables, the logistic regression analysis showed that slow gait (odds ratio [OR]: 3.40, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.40-8.23, P=0.007) and MCR (OR: 5.53, 95% CI: 1.46-20.89, P=0.012) were independently associated with frailty, but subjective cognitive complaints were not. Conclusions: MCR and slow gait were significantly associated with frailty in older Chinese adults. Further studies should prospectively determine the causal relationship between MCR and frailty.
