Background: MicroRNA (miRNA) have the potential to be non-invasive and attractive biomarkers for a vast number of diseases clinical conditions; however, reliable analysis miRNA expression in blood samples meets methodological challenges. In this report, we presented discussed, specifically, principles limitations purification plasma collected from left atrium during an ablation procedure on patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). Materials Methods: Consecutive hospitalized First Department...
Background: Since flow-mediated dilatation (FMD) is influenced by different factors, its clinical usefulness and validation widely discussed. Aim: To assess the major factors that determine FMD values in a wide range of subjects with without cardiovascular (CV) risk factors/diseases (CVRF/CVD). Methods results: 617 consecutive patients (mean age: 50.1 ± 14.9 years, males: 349/56.5%) hospitalised between 2005 2011 were enrolled into study. Demographic data CVRF/CVD significant impact on...
Most of the research in field Chronobiology is focused on problem circadian rhythms (CR) desynchronization. In travelers, it results mostly from changes surrounding: photoperiod, local climate conditions (radiation and thermal load) behavior (e.g. type place tourism activity level). Until now, was not documented whether melatonin (MLT) secretion occur effect mid-distance transparallel travels (TpT), without complications arising due to time-zone transitions jet-lag syndrome). To cope with...
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a common lung disease. There limited amount of nationwide data on COPD patients in Poland. This study aimed to characterize hospitalized with Poland 2019 as well identify factors associated the risk in-hospital death and prolonged hospitalization among COPD. retrospective database analysis. Data were obtained from Nationwide General Hospital Morbidity Dataset. all adults aged ≥40 years diagnosis physician (J44 code) included analyzed separately...
Background: Renalase is a catecholamine-metabolising enzyme, but its possible association with atrial fibrillation (AF) remains unknown. Aim: We sought to evaluate plasma renalase concentration in patients AF undergoing pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) respect clinical characteristics, left (LA) remodelling, and PVI efficacy. Methods: This case-control study included 69 (median age 58 years) either paroxysmal (89%) or persistent (11%) AF, referred for PVI, control group consisting of 15...
Obesity constitutes a risk factor for atrial fibrillation (AF) and modifies the efficacy of invasive AF treatment. Left (LA) global longitudinal strain (GLS), which is measured using speckle-tracking echocardiography (STE), one new methods that are helpful in evaluating function LA. The aim study was to evaluate LA obese non-obese patients were undergoing percutaneous pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) before 6 months after procedure. 89 (F/M: 31/58; mean age: 55.8 ± 9.8 years) with paroxysmal...
Atrial fibrillation ablation can be associated with microembolism detected in the intracranial arteries and risk of neurological incidents. The aims this study were to evaluate microembolic signals (MES) during pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) establish potential significance MES for damage brain radiological investigation state.In prospective we included patients atrial undergoing percutaneous (radiofrequency ablation/balloon cryoablation) ultrasound monitoring microembolisms middle cerebral...
People traveling between climate zones can be exposed to extreme environmental stimuli which significantly differ from their place of habitual residence.A move the temperate Central Europe subpolar northern means exposure great changes in two parameters: lighting and biothermal characteristics.The sudden change solar radiation, temperature, wind humidity, force organism undergo intensive adaptation processes.While conditions involves a diurnal rhythm physiological clock (regulated by hormone...
Abstract The paper presents essential results of multidisciplinary research dealing with differences in lighting conditions (natural and/or artificial) and their possible influence on melatonin secretion studied Fukuoka (Japan) Warszawa (Poland). Several characteristics were considered (intensity global 0.4-3.0 μm, visible 0.4 0.76 μm solar radiation, illuminance (lux), peak irradiance (μW∙cm−2∙nm−1), Color Corresponded Temperature (CCT, K) wave length (nm)). Diurnal cycle was examined at...
We present a rare case of left ventricular pseudoaneurysm in patient after inferior wall myocardial infarction. The infarction was complicated with acute mitral insufficiency, pulmonary edema, and cardiogenic shock. Urgent surgical valve replacement coronary artery bypass grafting were performed. After several months, the hospitalized again because deterioration exercise tolerance symptoms congestive heart failure. A large ventricle recognized successfully treated surgically. W pracy...
Each day the media filters information, making a set hierarchy of importance. Media agenda has great influence on point view most viewers who get their world knowledge from mass media. This phenomenon is called agenda-setting process or day-order theory. Research this subject wild scale was conducted by two professors, Maxwell McCombs and Donald Show. As result those experiments researchers reached conclusion that an what we are supposed to think. A role in setting play gatekeepers –...
Thank you for your interest and insightful comments on our article [...].
The climate and energy crises are going hand in hand. need to adapt the excess heat demand - especially for cooling will increase. biggest relative change Cooling Degrees Days particularly affect population of Central Northern Europe. Thus, a good plan is needed organise system, preferably designing use RES resources as adopted by European Commission 'fit 55' package. Poland's gross domestic consumption still falls short achieving 20% share green mix. production steadily increasing, prosumer...
Poland is a country with high burden of COPD and its risk factors. This population-wide geospatial study on in Poland, aimed to analyze changes hospitalizations patients diagnosis between 2006 2019 as well identify the demographic characteristics hospitalized COPD. retrospective analysis hospital discharge records (ICD-10 code J44 age 40 over), 2019. Data were analyzed separately for all (primary secondary diagnosis), admitted due diagnosis) comorbidity (secondary diagnosis). Between 2019,...
