Authors: Basic-Jukic Nikolina , Furic-Cunko Vesna , Juric Ivana 
Published: October 2020

Abstract

Aim: Data on the use of novel anticoagulant drugs (NOACc) in renal transplant recipients is scarce. The aim of our study was to investigate the safety and efficacy of NOACs in renal transplant recipients.

Materials and Methods: In a single-centre retrospective cohort study we assessed adverse reactions, thromboembolic events, and interactions of calcineurin inhibitors in patients treated with NOACs.

Results: Twenty-three renal transplant recipients were treated with NOACs (70% male), mean age of 65.8 ± 1.8 years. Fourteen (61%) patients were treated with rivaroxaban, apixaban was given to 8 (35%) of our patients, and dabigatran to one patient (4%). The main indications for NOAC therapy was atrial fibrillation in 61% and deep venous thrombosis in 23% of patients. Bleeding occurred in 2 patients (1 treated with rivaroxaban and 1 with dabigatran). None of our patients developed thrombosis while treated with NOAC. During the median follow-up of 24 months graft function, as well as hematological parameters, remained stable in patients that were treated with rivaroxaban and apixaban, while dabigatran was ceased after a month of therapy due to a bleeding event.

Conclusion: Our results show that both rivaroxaban and apixaban are safe and efficient oral anticoagulant drugs in renal transplant patients. Additional studies are needed to prove these results.

Abstract

Introduction: Seasonal influenza, although often presented as a mild, self-limiting disease, is frequently accompanied by complications that lead to the development of a severe clinical presentation and a fatal outcome. The most common are respiratory complications, with secondary bacterial pneumonia being the leading cause.

Aim: The aim of this study is to determine the impact of pneumonia on the severity of the clinical presentation and outcome in patients with seasonal influenza.

Materials and Methods: This research is comparatively group-based and has been conducted at the University Clinic for Infectious Diseases and Febrile Conditions during a three-year period. The analysis consists of 122 adult patients with clinically and laboratory-confirmed influenza. Based on the severity of the clinical picture, the patients are divided into two groups, severe (n=87) and mild (n=35) forms of the disease. The study included demographic, general data, clinical symptoms, and signs as well as complications.

Results: Of 122 patients with seasonal influenza, complications were registered among 108(88.52%), with a significantly more frequent emergence among the group with severe influenza 93.1% vs 77.14% (p=0.012). Pneumonia was the most common 98(80.33%) and had a significant effect on disease severity (p=0.002). Complications from the types of ABI 8(6.56%), ARDS 7(5.74%), sepsis 5(4.1%), DIC 4 (3.28%) and otitis 2(1.64%) were reported only in the group with severe influenza. Acute meningoencephalitis was registered among 5(4.1%), gastroenterocolitis among 3(2.46%), and hepatic damage among 14(11.47%) of patients.

Conclusion: Pneumonia as the most common complication among patients with seasonal influenza significantly impacts the clinical course and outcome of the illness.

Published: October 2020

Abstract

Background: The surgical treatment of chronic patellar tendinopathy could be open or arthroscopic. A general agreement on the best surgical treatment option is still lacking.

Purpose: The aim of our study was to evaluate the clinical results after a minimally invasive arthroscopic treatment of chronic patellar tendinopathy including a resection of the lower patellar pole.

Methods: The study included 14 patients with a mean age of 26 years and chronic patellar tendinopathy refractory to non-operative treatment of more than 6 months. All patients underwent arthroscopic debridement of the adipose tissue of the Hoffa’s body posterior to the patellar tendon, debridement of abnormal patellar tendon and resection of the lower patellar pole. Preoperative and postoperative evaluation was undertaken using clinical examination, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and the Lysholm and Victorian Institute of Sport Assessment-Patella (VISA-P) scores. Return to sports and postoperative complications were also assessed. The mean follow-up was 12.2 ± 0.9 months.

Results: All 14 patients continued with sport activities, but only 12 of them (85.7%) achieved their presymptom sporting level. The median time to return to preinjury level of activity was 3.9 ± 0.8 months. Patients showed a major improvement in the mean Lysholm score from 51.1 ± 3.8 to 93.4 ± 4.2 (p=0.001) and in the mean VISA-P score from 42.1 ± 3.5 to 86.7 ± 8.4 (p=0.001) There were no postoperative complications.

Conclusion: We found that this arthroscopic technique gives reduced morbidity and satisfactory outcome resulting in significantly faster recovery and return to sports in patients with chronic patellar tendinopathy.
A History of Detection of Explosive Devices 1. (700-1950)
Authors: Horváth Tibor , Szatai József Zsolt 
Published: October 2020

Abstract
This study presents the history of explosive devices and that of their detection. With the invention of explosive devices and their subsequent use, the methods of warfare changed significantly. New procedures emerged that were already unthinkable to implement without the use of such tools. In parallel with the emergence of explosive devices with increasing destructive power, the need to deactivate them also came to the fore. Opposing parties made increasing efforts to detect, deactivate, and destroy explosive devices. After the completion of military operations, the detection of explosive devices did not lose its importance, and developed into an essential mission, since the areas had to be cleared of devices left over from the military actions and posing a murderous danger.

Published: October 2020

Abstract
Emergency occupations and mostly firefighter job demands high level of expertise managing critical situations that require a strong psychological and physical preparation. The investigation started from the assumption that having a good physical preparation program we will be able to develop physical strength and agility so that we can improve time in intervention situation simulated in the firefighter specific event of carrying the intervention device and mount the moto-pomp. The sample of the study was formed by the Inspectorate for Emergency Situations from Sibiu firefighter team that was composed by 10 male athletes with age between 30± 3.5 years old with experience in this kind of competitions between 2 and 7 years. The intervention program with a specific firefighter program was presented, work load and exercises that were applied, proving that can improve time and physical development of our athletes. The results showed relatively good improvements in the performance time starting from an initial time of 30.66 seconds at the initial testing to come close at the final testing at a 24.51 seconds result that is very close to the national record 22.07 seconds, and also to the international record of 21.05 seconds. The results were than calculated for statistical significance with the t Student test, and found that between the initial and final test values is a statistically significant difference with a value of p = 0.00001. Conclusions of our research showed that firefighters need to be physically prepared to intervene in critical situations for search and rescue in any situations that appeared thus a strong physical program can contribute to their physical shape and skills.

Evaluation of eHealth Deployment at Primary Care in the EU Member States by Usage of Selected MCDM Methods
Authors: Ardielli Eva 
Published: October 2020

Abstract
Information and Communication Technologies have become a revolutionary part of European healthcare in recent years. The European Commission considers eHealth as an important and appropriate tool that can contribute to cope with the challenges that are currently affecting the healthcare systems in Europe. The development of eHealth is therefore embedded in many EU strategies and is being evaluated on an ongoing basis. In the past, several studies have been carried out focusing on the evaluation of individual areas of eHealth - especially on the area of primary care secured by General Practitioners and Acute Hospitals. However, no synthesis of these works was made. This paper is focused on the proposing of an assessment for both mentioned areas of eHealth. The aim is to evaluate the eHealth deployment in the European Union Member States by the synthesis of Composite Indicators in existing studies into the evaluation model based on the application of Multiple-Criteria Decision-Making techniques. The evaluation is performed by the usage of TOPSIS, WSA, and MAPPAC method. The result of the research is the design of an evaluation framework for eHealth that enables the comparison of eHealth indicators in the international context and evaluation of eHealth deployment in European Union Member States in the form of a ranking. In this ranking, the Nordic countries are among the best-rated countries, while the worst-rated countries are in Eastern Europe.
Legal aspects of registration the time of cadastral data creation or modification
Authors: Reczyńska Joanna , Hanus Paweł 
Published: October 2020

Abstract
In Poland, the cadastre is the basic register which is the source of information on cadastral entities and their property. Therefore, it should constitute a reliable source of information in the scope of establishing the range of law, its nature, but also the subject of its ownership. However, it is necessary to be able to not only check the current information on the legal status and its scope, but also review past statuses or determine the rights that will influence real estate in the future. The cadastre and related rights are changing very dynamically over time, and each state has a very strict reference to the previous state. Therefore, in order to manage real estate in the most effective way, it is necessary to record temporal attributes of cadastre objects.
The main objective of this paper is to define the legal issues related to the possibility of registration at the time of creation or modification of object in the Polish cadastre. This paper includes analyses of both Polish legal regulations and European standards and norms. Moreover, the article presents the results of comparative analyses concerning the data model of cadastre and INSPIRE and Land Administration Domain Model (LADM) data models for the theme cadastral parcel in terms of temporal aspect.
The Titanic Series: Reflections on Cambridge University Press’s Edition of the Literary Works of Joseph Conrad
Authors: Watts Cedric 
Published: October 2020

Abstract
Cambridge University Press’s vast project to produce authoritative new editions of the literary works of Joseph Conrad is now well advanced; but the project is flawed. I maintain that this is the Titanic of editions: big, costly, important, and disastrous. I specify “the literary works”, because I am not concerned with the admirable volumes of Conrad’s letters.
The industrious Cambridge editors have done excellent work in correcting longstanding errors and in bringing to light much textual material which was previously lost. The edition is therefore indispensable. The editors have, however, deleted much house styling and correction: “successive layers of non-authorial intervention affecting wording and ‘accidentals’ – punctuation, spelling and word-division”. The result of the Cambridge editorial procedures is a Conradian prose which is often impoverished and is sometimes even ungrammatical and uncouth. In removing much punctuation, the editors have often removed logical clarity and rhetorical effectiveness.
In this essay, therefore, I use a sequence of comparisons to demonstrate the presence of a pattern of flaws. The sequences are taken from Notes on Life and Letters, ’Twixt Land and Sea / Tales, Last Essays, Lord Jim, and The Nigger of the “Narcissus”. I compare extracts from the Cambridge texts with extracts taken from other editions.
