Background. Congenital partial atrophy of the optic nerve is one of the main causes of blindness and low vision in patients with fundus pathology, and the study of color vision is important in diagnosis and monitoring visual functions in patients with this disease.Purpose: to study the possibilities of using the own developed method of quantitative and qualitative assessment of color vision in patients with partial optic nerve atrophy.Materials and methods. 55 patients aged from 8 to 20 years with congenital partial atrophy of the optic nerve (PAON) with a typical fundus pattern and EFI indicators for this disease were observed. The control group included 116 people of the same age without fundus pathology and with normal visual acuity. To study color vision in both groups, the classic FarnsworthMunsell Dichotomous D15 Test and the own developed method for quantitative and qualitative assessment of color vision were used.Results. The method developed by us made it possible to identify color perception disorders of varying severity in the majority (about 90 %) of patients with PAON. In the control group, no color perception disorders were detected in more than 70 % of the subjects. Quantitative assessment of color vision conducted using the method developed by us demonstrates significantly higher indicators of the total error of perception of color tones in patients with PAON (35.6 ± 3.2 degrees for a better-seeing eye and 39.9 ± 3.3 degrees for a worse-seeing eye) in comparison with the subjects of the control group (6.2 ± 1.1 degrees for a better-seeing eye and 7.5 ± 1.3 degrees for a worse-seeing eye). The severity of color perception disorders in patients with PAON does not depend on age, but has a significant inverse relationship with visual acuity. In the group of patients with PAON, when examining both better-seeing eye and worse-seeing eye, perception disorders of all color tones are detected with a slight predominance of disorders of perception of red, green and blue. The method developed by us has sufficiently higher sensitivity and specificity in comparison with the classic Farnsworth-Mansell D-15 test.Conclusion. The method developed by us makes it possible to effectively carry out a quantitative and qualitative assessment of the state of color perception in patients with PAON.

Published: April 2024

Introduction: Giant cell (temporal) arteritis (GCA) is a cell-mediated vasculitis that damages the major blood vessels such as an aorta with its major branches and mainly extracranial branches of the carotid artery. Vision loss that can be caused by the anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (AION) or by the central retinal artery occlusion (CRAO) is considered to be one of the most terrible complications of the GCA. In the represented clinical case the complete vision loss was the cause of hospitalization of the patient and the basis for a diagnosis of GCA at the same time. The episodes of the reversible visual impairment that were observed 9 days before the hospitalization attract attention to themselves.Purpose. to pay attention to the main ophthalmological and general symptoms that let the doctor to suspect this disease during the primary reception and to carry out diagnostics promptly to start timely treatment.Conclusion. The main criteria for diagnosis of GCA in the practice of ophthalmologists are female gender, age over 50 years, intense headache with paresthesia, pain in the lower jaw during chewing and short-term episodes of vision loss. Clinical blood test including erythrocyte sedimentation rate, C-reactive protein level and platelet count are the necessary laboratory diagnostic methods.

Purpose: to evaluate the features and outcomes of penetrating keratoplasty in combined opto-reconstructive surgery for combat eye injury and its complications.Patients and methods. The study enrolled 17 eyes (16 men) aged 34.00 ± 12.51 years, divided into 2 groups: I — with inflammatory diseases of the anterior segment, complicated combat eye injury (4 eyes), II — with open eye injury (OGI, 13 eyes). Patients underwent examination to reveal and localize damaged intraocular structures and intraocular foreign bodies (IOFB), determine the prognosis of visual functions, as well as impression cytology. In all cases penetrating keratoplasty was performed, as well as complex of vitreoretinal surgery if it was needed. In the postoperative period, visual acuity, the timing of epithelialization, and graft transparency were assessed. Period of observation was 4,5 ± 2,1 months.Results. Group I had severe keratouveitis, when intraocular structures were intact also as electrophysiological parameters. The presence of mucosal cells was determined in 50 % of cases. The number of surgery was 2.00 ± 0.82. Graft epithelialization was completed in 38.99 ± 35.43 days. Postoperatively all grafts had transparent retention and complete epithelialization, also as had high visual acuity (0.25 ± 0.10) was noted. Group II had damaged several intraocular structures and varying electrophysiological parameters. The epithelial phenotype was corneal all over. The average number of surgical treatments was 3.00 ± 1.48. The time of graft epithelialization was significantly less — 17.66 ± 8.69 days (p = 0.014). Corrected visual acuity ranged from zero (30.77 %) to 0.3 (0.08 ± 0.11) and was significantly less than in group I (p = 0.018). The parameters that correlated low visual acuity were aphakia, the level of electrical sensitivity, the number of surgical interventions, and the age of patients.Conclusions. Penetrating keratoplasty functional results prognosis is better in group with infectious complications of combat eye injury with reduced cornea transparency than in patient with open globe injury. Besides light perception and conducting structures (retina, optical nerve) lesion, optico-reconstructive surgery in open globe injury often leads to single-chamber formation in silicone filled eye, which significantly worsens the functional prognosis of treatment.

Purpose. Development and evaluation of the clinical effectiveness and safety of a vitrectomy (VE) technique for patients with advanced stage proliferative diabetic retinopathy (ASPDR).Materials and methods. We observed 132 patients (mean age 62.8 ± 2.4 years) with the following criteria for inclusion in the study, corresponding to the classification criteria of ASPDR: it is impossible to estimate the area of neovascularization; the fundus of the eye is partially ophthalmoscoped or not ophthalmoscoped in the posterior pole; preretinal or vitreal hemorrhage in the posterior pole with an area of more than 4 optic discs; retinoschisis in the macular zone. All patients were divided into the following two groups, equal in age, gender and visual status of the “healthy” eye: the main group (MG, 69 patients, 69 eyes), who underwent VE was performed according to the developed method and a control group (CG, 63 patients, 63 eyes), in which VE was performed according to the traditional method.Results. The incidence of intraoperative complications in patients in the MG (5.8 %) was 8.1 % (p < 0.05) lower than in the CG (13.9 %). The incidence of postoperative complications in patients from the MG (5.5 ± 0.5 %) was 4.2 % (p < 0.01) lower than in the CG (9.7 ± 1.0 %). The increase in best-corrected visual acuity after surgery in patients from the MG was significantly (by 0.13 rel. units, p < 0.001) higher than in the CG. The value of the average decrease in the developed qualitative criteria for the condition of the fundus in patients in the MG (1.6 ± 0.1) was 23.1 % (p < 0.05), higher than in the CG (1.3 ± 0.1).Conclusion. Surgical treatment of patients with ASPDR using the developed technique provides (compared to the traditional approach) a higher level of safety and clinical effectiveness. The main advantage of the developed technique is an integrated approach to surgical intervention, including the improvement of ophthalmological “techniques” (use of one-stage combined surgery, endolaser coagulation technology, etc.) and drug support (administration of ranibizumab at a dose of 0.05 mg 3–5 days before surgery) and the choice of intravenous sedation as the optimal anesthetic aid.

Purpose: to evaluate the long-term results of using polytetrafluoroethylene orbital implants in patients with anophthalmos.Patients and methods. The clinical group consisted of 1560 patients with blind and unpromising eyes or anophthalmos, who were divided into 3 groups (I, II, and III) depending on the method of surgical treatment used — evisceration of the eye with posterior pole resection and neurectomy, enucleation of the eye, and plastic orbital socket surgery, respectively.Results. All patients in the study groups showed a positive result according to the criteria: stump mobility averaged (130,1°), prosthesis mobility averaged (106,6°), prosthesis entrapment after evisceration was less common than in patients after eye enucleation by 14.5 %. And the average value of the prosthesis sinking (mm) was lower by 78.0 %. Occlusion of the upper eyelid was also 16.7 % less common, and the average occlusion of the upper eyelid (mm) was 37.3 % lower. PTFE orbital implants have proven to be affordable, biocompatible and easy to use implants. The effect of the operation remained stable with long-term follow-up up to 15 years. There were no complications directly related to the use of PTFE orbital implants.

Heart Failure is a prevalent condition with significant morbidity, affecting the quality of life and daily activities of patients. This study aims to fill this gap by assessing the sleep quality and Activity of Daily Living (ADL) among patients with heart failure and exploring the association of these factors with selected demographic variables. A quantitative, cross sectional approach was utilized in this study. The study was conducted in the cardiology outpatient department of a teaching hospital in South India over four weeks. A convenient sampling technique was employed to recruit fifty patients meeting the inclusion criteria set for patients fluent in English and Tamil, aged above 20 years, willing to participate, and from both sexes. Data were collected using the Pittsburg Sleep Quality Index Scale and Activity of Daily Living by Checklist.The study revealed that the highest percentage of scores was for Dressing (70.00%) in ADL while Climbing stairs received the lowest (48.67%). Concerning sleep quality, 68.00% of participants had a disordered sleep score, with an average sleep disturbance score of 38.61%. An association between sleep quality and ADL with demographic variables indicates significant correlations with age, sex, occupation, and monthly income. This study underscores the prevalent issue of poor sleep quality and reduced ADL among patients with heart failure. Addressing these issues through targeted interventions could potentially enhance the overall quality of life for heart failure patients.
Cywilizacja prawa kanonicznego i jej konstytucyjne podstawy
Authors: Wolanin Mikołaj 
Published: April 2024

Kanon 22 Kodeksu Prawa Kanonicznego przewiduje mechanizm kanonizacji prawa cywilnego, czyli stosowania prawa państwowego w niektórych sprawach przewidzianych prawem kanonicznym. Autor zauważa, że tożsamy mechanizm może też zachodzić w drugą stronę (prawo państwowe odwołujące się do norm prawa kanonicznego) i nazywa go na zasadzie odwrotności cywilizacją prawa kanonicznego. By uzasadnić zachodzenie tego zjawiska, autor przedstawia kilka przykładów z prawa polskiego, w których normy – czasem wyraźnie, a czasem nie wprost – odwołują się do różnych reguł i wymogów prawa kanonicznego. Mowa tu m.in. o uznawaniu osobowości kościelnych osób prawnych, uznawaniu małżeństw kanonicznych za tożsame w skutkach do świeckich, wymaganiu zgód i zezwoleń z prawa kanonicznego na cywilnoprawne obracanie dobrami doczesnymi (w tym na ich alienację), autonomii w organizacji nauki własnej religii w przedszkolu czy szkole, jak również wypowiadaniu się przez kompetentną władzę kościelną w zakresie zmiany przeznaczenia zamkniętych terenów cmentarnych. Wszystko to potwierdza istnienie tego zjawiska. Rodzi się jednak pytanie o konstytucyjne podstawy tej cywilizacji. Autor twierdzi, że system prawa kanonicznego jest niczym innym jak prawem wewnętrznym dobrowolnego zrzeszenia osób, o którym mowa w art. 12 Konstytucji. Jego konstytucyjny status jest zatem jaki sam, jak wszystkich innych zrzeszeń, w tym np. małych stowarzyszeń czy związków zawodowych. Wyjątkowość cywilizacji wynika jednak ze złożoności prawa kanonicznego, a także roli Kościoła w życiu społecznym i liczebności jego wiernych.
Mode of delivery and traumatic birth experience – the role of the midwife. A qualitative pilot study
Authors: Kyrou Maria 
Published: April 2024

IntroductionLabor and childbirth are highly emotional experiences and if perceived as acute stressors, they can become traumatic and lead to post-traumatic stress disorder. The traumatic nature of childbirth can also affect partner, who witnesses the distressing labor. A traumatic birth experience can give rise to various difficulties.Stress factors during labor can range from life-threatening situations to perceived threats, including loss of control, loss of dignity, negative environments, sense of fear, loss of control,terror.MethodsThis study employed a pilot qualitative research design. Interviews were conducted using a questionnaire divided into three parts. The interviews were conducted between January 2018 and March 2018. Thirteen women who had given birth to their first child via cesarean section participated in the study. These women subsequently attempted to have a vaginal birth for their second child. All participants adhered to the criteria for attempting vaginal birth after cesarean, as outlined by the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists and the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists. All women completed the questionnaire.ResultsThe findings indicate that nearly half of the women experienced their first labor as a traumatic event. This traumatic birth experience led to difficulties with bonding, breastfeeding, and overall psychological well-being in the postpartum period. Additionally, the role of midwives was found to be crucial in shaping the birth experience.ConclusionsThe study concludes that birth experiences can become traumatic when stress factors, such as loss of control, lack of respect, insufficient informed consent, hostile environments, and lack of support, are present. Regardless of the mode of delivery (cesarean, vaginal delivery, or assisted vaginal delivery), a positive birth experience is possible when women feel secure, trusted, supported, and involved in decision-making. Furthermore, the constant presence of midwives during labor appears to play a significant role in shaping both the birth experience and the postpartum period.

Objective: The purpose of this study is to determine the impact of gender perception on attitudes toward violence against women in Turkish.
Material and Method: This descriptive and correlational study was conducted online with 795 individuals in Turkish society, between 08.02.2022 – 14.02.2022. The data was collected with “Sociodemographic Descriptive Information Form”, “Perception of Gender Scale” and “ISKEBE Violence Against Women Attitude Scale” created using Google Forms.
Results: The average age of the participants was found as 30,04±11,38. It was detected that 560 (70,4%) of the participants are female, 235 (29,6%) are male, 299 (37,6%) are married, 496 (62,4%) are single 103 (13,0%) have a good income, 602 (75,7%) have a middle income, and 90 (11,3%) have a low income. The participants’ average point for Perception of Gender Scale was 104,71±17,06; and the average point for Violence Against Women Attitude Scale was 49,31±22,15. The total change in the level of total score of violence against women attitude is explained by the sum of gender perception at a rate of 37,8% (R2=0,378).
Conclusion: In this study, the gender perception is the predictor towards both the body and the identity of the violence against women attitude.

Published: April 2024

Objective: The study aimed to evaluate the gender-role attitudes of the students studying in the first year of different faculties of the same university and the factors that may be related to these attitudes.
Methods: The cross-sectional study was conducted with the participation of 1080 students studying in the first year of five different faculties of the same university. The data were collected by face-to-face interview method using a questionnaire including “Gender-Roles Attitude Scale (GRAS)” and sociodemographic characteristics of the students. In the analysis of the data, frequency, percentage and mean values were used for descriptive statistics, Pearson chi-square, one-way ANOVA test and T-Test were used for comparative analysis.
Results: The mean GRAS score of the students was 147.70±27.77. Medical students had the highest GRAS score while the students of Faculty of Theology had the lowest. While the GRAS scores of the students who were female, whose mother was higher education graduated, and who was a member of a nuclear family were higher, the GRAS scores were lower for those with low economic status and whose only mother or father was the decision maker in their family.
Conclusion: Increasing the education levels and employment rates of women will contribute to the development of egalitarian gender-role attitudes of individuals. In order to reveal the effect of religion on gender roles more clearly, there is a need for new studies that will enable more detailed analyzes to be made.

Penelitian ini dilaksanakan di kawasan Hutan Lindung Liang Anggang Kota Banjarbaru seluas 960 ha. Fungsi hutan lindung adalah sebagai penyerap karbon, konservasi air, jasa lingkungan dan menambah estetika, tetapi sekarang kondisi penutupan lahannya sering mengalami kebakaran dan konversi hutan menjadi lahan pertanian. Kondisi seperti ini diduga dapat mepercepat proses dekomposisi gambutnya. Sejauh pengetahuan penulis belum ada penelitian dekomposisi gambut dalam bentuk data spasial yang sangat penting untuk menyusun rencana pengelolaan kawasan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk membangun informasi dekomposisi gambut dan penyebarannya dalam bentuk data spasial. Metode yang digunakan adalah pengamatan menggunakan bor tanah gambut sebanyak 39 titik, yang tersebar secara sistematik berjarak 500m x 500m. Data spasial dekomposisi gambut dianalisis menggunakan ArcGIS software, dimulai dengan plotting posisi, dilanjutkan membangun data atributnya. Batas tingkat dekomposisi tidak berubah secara tiba – tiba melainkan berubah secara gradual. Untuk mengkuantitatifkan data kualitatif, maka dekomposisi gambut fibrik, hemik dan saprik diberi angka ID berturut – turut 1, 2 dan 3, sehingga cocok interpolasinya menggunakan tools: Inverse Distance Weighted dengan interval 1cm, yaitu klas <1,5, 1,5 - 2,5 dan >2,5cm. Terakhir menghitung luasnya menggunakan tool geometry calculate. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan sebanyak 837,9 ha (85,9%) merupakan gambut saprik.
