Aim To study the left ventricular (LV) contractile and pumping function during the recovery phase following ligation of the anterior descending coronary artery (CA).Material and methods Cardiodynamic parameters were studied in Wistar rats 2-4 weeks after experimental myocardial infarction (MI). MI was induced by ligation of the anterior descending CA under zoletil anesthesia. LV catheterization was performed with a standard FTH-1912B-8018 PV catheter inserted into the LV through the right carotid artery.Results After the induction of MI, the mortality rate of animals was 50%. Survived animals developed significant LV dilatation and a decrease in ejection fraction (EF) by an average of 31%. However, major indexes of the pumping function, including minute volume, heart work, and maximum ejection velocity, were within a normal range whereas the maximum filling velocity was almost doubled. Approximately 50% of hearts with dilated LV had normal EF, delayed relaxation, and increased LV diastolic pressure, which qualified this group as a diastolic dysfunction group. The systolic dysfunction group with EF less than 50% of normal had similar values of myocardial contractility and relaxation but differed from the diastolic dysfunction group in more than 50% reduced maximum LV ejection velocity and 1.7 times increased elasticity of the arterial wall. A close inverse correlation was found between these values (r= -0.91).Conclusion The study results showed that, with a similar myocardial contractile function, the cardiac pumping function is determined by the elasticity of the aortic wall. Therefore, restriction of reactive fibrosis during MI is an important task of modern cardiology.

Aim To study associations between the risk of severe adverse cardiovascular outcomes (SACVO) and all-cause death with psychosocial risk factors (PS RFs), such as stress, anxiety and depressive symptoms, low level of education, low income, social isolation, and type D personality, in patients with arterial hypertension (AH) and ischemic heart disease (IHD) managed in primary health care institutions in a multi-year prospective study.Material and methods PS RFs were assessed in patients with AH or IHD, who participated in a multi-year prospective COMETA study, using the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), DS-14 questionnaire, and a visual analogue scale (VAS) for assessment of stress level. Associations of PS FRs with SACVO and all-cause death after a 1.5-year follow-up were analyzed using multivariate Cox regression models.Results At 1.5 years after patients were included in the study, it was possible to obtain data for 2,538 patients (age at baseline, 66.6 ± 7.8 years, 28.1% men), 106 of whom died during that period. The incidence of SACVO was 40.0 per 1000 person-years. According to the results of multivariate regression analysis, a very high level of anxiety symptoms (HADS-A≥14) was significantly associated with SACVO (odds ratio (OR), 1.81; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.04-3.15; p=0. 02). The composite endpoint that included all-cause death and/or SACVO was significantly associated with a high (VAS score ≥8) stress level (OR, 1.53; 95% CI, 1.00-2.33; p=0.04) and a very high (HADS-D≥14) level of depressive symptoms (OR, 2.11; 95% CI, 1.22-3.62; p=0.02). A low level of education adjusted for gender and age increased the likelihood of SACVO by 1.7 (95% CI, 1.19-2.43) times. No significant associations were found between the analyzed outcomes and type D personality or with social isolation.Conclusion In patients with AH or IHD, the presence of high-grade stress and severe depressive symptoms increased the likelihoods of all-cause death and SACVO while a low level of education and severe anxiety symptoms were associated with SACVO. The study results showed that PS RFs for cardiovascular diseases keep the PS RF prognostic significance in the conditions of modern treatment of AH and IHD. Due to the negative impact on the prognosis, PS RFs should be taken into account when taking measures for secondary prevention of AH and IHD

Aim Aortic stenosis increases left atrial (LA) pressure and may lead to its remodeling. This can cause supraventricular arrhythmia. The aim of this study was to determine if the size of the LA and the presence of atrial fibrillation are related to the prognosis of patients with aortic stenosis.Material and methods Clinical evaluation and standard transthoracic echocardiographic studies were performed in 397 patients with moderate to severe aortic stenosis.Results In all patients, LA dimension above the median (≥43 mm) was associated with a significantly higher risk of death [HR 1.79 (CL 1.06-3.03)] and a LA volume above the median of 80 ml was associated with a significantly higher risk of death [HR 2.44 (CI 1.12-5.33)]. The presence of atrial fibrillation was significantly associated with a higher risk of death (p <0.0001). The presence of atrial fibrillation [HR 1.69 (CI 1.02-2.86)], lower left ventricular ejection fraction [HR 1.23 (CI 1.04-1.45)], higher NYHA heart failure class [HR 4.15 (CI 1.40-13.20)] and renal failure [HR 2.10 (CI 1.31-3.56)] were independent risk factors of death in patients in aortic stenosis.Conclusion The size and volume of the LA and the occurrence of atrial fibrillation are important risk factors for death in patients with aortic stenosis. The presence of renal dysfunction, low left ventricular ejection fraction, high NYHA functional class and atrial fibrillation are independent risk factors of poor prognosis in patients with aortic stenosis.

Conditions in which cataractous lens and abnormalities of lens leads to elevated intra ocular pressure have been termed as Lens induced glaucoma (LIG). Objective of our study was to know the clinical profile of patients, describe management and visual outcome in lens induced glaucoma. Hospital based prospective study conducted on 40 patients of LIG from November 2016 to October 2018 attending the outpatient department of Ophthalmology at Minto Ophthalmic Hospital, Bangalore Medical College and Research Institute. After taking informed consent, detail history, detailed examination, IOP by Applanation tonometry, Gonioscopy, examination of posterior segment, patients diagnosed as lens induced glaucoma admitted and managed with medical and surgical treatment. Post operative day 1 visual acuity and IOP recorded and followed up on day 8 and 6 weeks for above. Data analyzed with descriptive statistics and chi square test. In our study mean age of presentation in phacomorphic glaucoma is 67.25 ± 6.58 years and phacolytic glaucoma mean age was 64.10years ± 9.78. Female to male ratio being 1.8 : 1. Phacomorphic glaucoma was found in 57% and phacolytic glaucoma in 43%. Mean IOP at presentation was 42.6mmHg ±5.36. Most of them underwent SICS + PCIOL (52.5%). Study showed that most of them had better visual acuity at the end of 6 weeks. Final IOP was 15.8 mmHg± 1.78.Our study demonstrated that lens induced glaucoma is still a challenging complication of cataract which can be prevented by early treatment of cataract. SICS is still gold standard that effectively controls IOP and gives better visual outcome.
Socjalizacja a preferencje muzyczne. Czy kiedyś zabraknie chętnych na koncerty muzyki klasycznej?
Authors: Kaczmarek Stella 
Published: December 2023

Rozwój nowych mediów, obserwowane starzenie się publiczności uczestniczącej w koncertach muzyki klasycznej i stan polskiego szkolnictwa muzycznego na nowo stawiają przed nami pytanie tak o teraźniejszość, jak i o przyszłość muzyki klasycznej. Mimo że dostęp do różnego rodzaju koncertów jest niemal nieograniczony, a oferta bardzo atrakcyjna, regularnie zmniejsza się liczba słuchaczy muzyki klasycznej, zwłaszcza w krajach Europy zachodniej, ale także w Polsce, a średnia wieku słuchaczy znacząco wzrasta. Rozmijanie się oferty z liczbą słuchaczy może doprowadzić w dwóch następnych dziesięcioleciach do drastycznych zmian w preferencjach muzycznych polskiego społeczeństwa.
W artykule są przedstawiane dane z XXI wieku dotyczące słuchalności koncertów muzyki klasycznej (i podobnych form muzycznych) w Polsce i porównawczo w Niemczech – statystyki dotyczące liczby koncertów, liczby słuchaczy oraz przyszłości rynku koncertowego. Ważnem aspektem omawianym w artykule jest analiza bezpośredniego związku obecności muzyki klasycznej w życiu człowieka i jej percepcji z wczesną socjalizacją muzyczną.
Język na muzycznych pograniczach. Wokół nazwy zespołu Emerson, Lake & Palmer
Authors: Marcinkiewicz Radosław 
Published: December 2023

Artykuł dotyczy perspektyw oglądu artifonimu Emerson, Lake & Palmer. Nazwa ta, sprawiająca na pierwszy rzut oka wrażenie zwyczajnej i niezbyt oryginalnej, w rzeczywistości zaskakuje bogactwem wariantów oraz pewnym potencjałem onimotwórczym. Choć zastosowany schemat nazewniczy, dość rzadko wykorzystywany w rocku, jawił się jako uniemożliwiający zmianę składu zespołu, okazał się punktem wyjścia do wykazywania się znakomitą inwencją w podejmowaniu kolejnych decyzji nazewniczych przez muzyków grupy i ich współpracowników. W artykule zwrócono też uwagę na inne kwestie dotyczące onomastyki muzycznej, m.in. zakres badań oraz adekwatność terminu proponowanego dla tej subdyscypliny, delimitację artifonimów i tytułów albumów fonograficznych, relacje transonimiczne między nazwami własnymi należącymi do tych kategorii i tendencję do tworzenia swoistych konstelacji nazewniczych (obejmujących także inne kategorie onimów muzycznych), a także zróżnicowane sposoby funkcjonowania tych onimów w języku. Dopiero odwołanie się do szeroko zakrojonych badań w zakresie etiologii onimów muzycznych powinno stanowić punkt wyjścia do ich adekwatnego i systematycznego opisu słownikowego.

The severity of disease symptoms is affected by triangular interactions between pathogens, hosts, and the environment. This study aims to describe the severity of tungro disease symptoms concerning the resistance of rice varieties and various fertilization rates. The research used the potting method in the Center for Rice Research, Sukamandi greenhouse. The experiment was designed using a Randomized Design, with 3 varieties: Ciherang (sensitive), IR 64 (green leafhopper resistance), and Inpari 36 Lanrang (virus resistance) as the main plot, and 4 levels of combination fertilization: (1) compound fertilizer + without urea; (2) compound fertilizer and urea 250 kg/ha; (3) compound fertilizer and urea 350 kg/ha; and (4) compound fertilizer and urea 500 kg/ha, as subplots. The data was processed using Anova and Duncan's multiple distance test. The results showed that rice variety significantly affected vector preference and the severity of tungro symptoms. The dose of nitrogen fertilization does not give different results to the preferences of insects and the severity of tungro in the greenhouse. There is no interaction between the variety and the dose of fertilizing. Resistant varieties are less preferred by green leafhoppers than the sensitive varieties.

Rice cultivation without land as an urban farming method is carried out to produce food in a subsistence manner. This experiment aimed to examine the response of rice plants to non-soil planting media based on alternate wetting-drying irrigation. This work was conducted at the screen house in Sumberjeruk Village, Jember Regency (8°07'42.9" S and 113°47'09.3" E) from January to May 2022, using a factorial, fully randomized design of 2-factors with 3-replications. The planting medium without soil (husk:water) as the first factor consists of 4 compositions (v/v): 0:1, 1:4, 1:6, and 1:8 (total volume of 25-L media), while variety as the second factor consists of Inpari 46 and IR 64. The results showed that the combination treatment (husk: water) 1:6 and Inpari 46 had a significant effect on the number of productive tillers (25.17 stems) and grain weight per hill (34.07 g). The planting medium of non-soil husk: water 1:6 gave no significant value to husk: water 1:4 on the total number of grains (124.21 grains) and full grains (83.52 grains). The Inpari 46 varieties showed the highest value for the total number of grains (133.07 grains), the number of full grains (84.88 grains), and the weight of 1000-seeds (22.43 g). The application of husks and water as a planting medium with the right ratio is an ideal medium for landless rice cultivation since it can supply oxygen to the media.

The problem of organic waste can be solved by applying circular economy principles, namely in waste management using black soldier fly (BSF) maggots. These larvae can decompose organic waste into compost that can be used in agricultural activities. The results of adult larvae can be used as feed in livestock and fish because they contain high protein. The objectives of this study are (1) to identify the amount of organic waste absorption with BSF larval farming business, (2) to analyze the financial feasibility of cultivation in BSF Maggot Cultivation business units in Balaraja and in Tunas, (3) to analyze business efficiency in animal husbandry and fisheries through a circular economy system in the use of BSF larval feed. The research used descriptive-quantitative analysis, financial feasibility analysis, and business efficiency analysis. The results showed that the amount of waste absorption from larval farming business activities reached 430.7 tons/year, with the total land area needed for cultivation being 137,855 m2. The results of the business financial feasibility study show that the Tunas and Balaraja Units are feasible because they have met the eligibility criteria for NPV > 0, Net B/C > 1, IRR > interest rate, and PP > the life of the project. Business efficiency proves that fisheries and livestock business activities integrated into BSF larval cultivation are more efficient in spending on the cost of commercial feed used and provide higher profits in their businesses.
