The prognosis in patients after the fibrillation of circulatory arrest, who underwent immediate cardio-pulmonary resuscitation, is uncertain. In order to predict a neurological output, we can use the laboratory parameter of neuron-specific enolase (NSE).Goal: The goal of this study was to assess the neurological output in 56 patients after a successful cardiopulmonary resuscitation that was carried out during non-traumatic circulatory arrest by Cerebral Performance Categories (CPC) score, and to assess the possible predictive indicators during mild hypothermia at 33 °C or 36 °C.Results: In 20 patients, the cause was acute myocardial...

Introduction: We studied the impact of air pollution on newborns from exposed district Karviná and control district of České Budějovice. We hypothesize that benzo[a]pyrene (B[a]P) can induce mutations in the DNA of these newborns, and we studied this possibility using DNA sequencing in those children at the age of 5 years.Methods: DNA was isolated from buccal smears from 50 children who were born in the years 2013-2014, from each district. Mutations were followed in exon 11 of gene ALAS2, exon 15 of ZNF341 gene, and exon 1 of gene ORMDL3 by DNA sequencing.Results: A pilot study verified our proposed...

Nevertheless, they are controversial and research pays little attention to perspectives of user-groups, especially older people. Therefore, this article deals with determinants of older people's approval of dispensing doctors.Methods: For this purpose, data from a telephone survey with people over 60 years in Lower Austria are used and evaluated by means of a logit model.Results: The results show that accessibility of medicines is a major reason for the preference of DDs. Key factors are availability of a pharmacy in close proximity...

Opinions on the Convention differ not only from the lay public but also from the professional public.To analyse the possible effects of the ratification of the Istanbul Convention on divorce...

JNSS 2020, 11(3-4):107-115 | DOI: 10.32725/jnss.2020.012  

Low-carbohydrate diets are often a controversial issue. They are not only currently a popular diet method, but also significantly beneficial for health. The influence on the reduction of the total body weight can be very significant, as can the amount of body fat or visceral fat - which is the main risk factor for developing cardiovascular and metabolic diseases. The research in this area is limited. Respondents often fail to finalize it and the studies often include few respondents and are short-term.This article summarizes the published data that focus on the influence of low-carbohydrate diets on visceral fat in the human organism. The goal...
