The aim of the study was to identify electrophysiological criteria that can be used for identification of patients with sinus node dysfunction and concurrent vasovagal syncope.

The maxillary sinus aeration using the computational fluid dynamics (CFD) method based on individual adult patients’ computed tomography (CT) scans were analyzed. The analysis was based on CT images of 4 patients: one with normal nose anatomy and three with nasal septal deviation (NSD) and concha bullosa (CB). The CFD simulation was performed using the Reynolds-Average Simulation approach and turbulence closure based on linear...

Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the leading cause of death worldwide. The initial stage of CVDs is characterized by endothelial dysfunction, defined as the limited bioavailability of nitric oxide (NO). Thus, any factors that interfere with the synthesis or metabolism of NO in endothelial cells are involved in CVD pathogenesis. It is well established that hypoxia is both the triggering factor as well as the accompanying factor...

Rozważamy następującą grę (pomiędzy dwoma graczami) kombinatoryczną o nazwie ''node blocking''. Dany jest graf skierowany. Każdy wierzchołek może być zajęty przez co najwyżej jeden token. Wyróżniamy dwa kolory tokenów, biały i czarny, każdy gracz może przemieszczać tylko własne tokeny. Gracze wykonują ruchy naprzemiennie. Ruch polega na wyborze dowolnego tokena własnego koloru i przesunięciu go na dowolnego niezajętego przez inny...

Nitric oxide (NO) is one of the most important molecules released by endothelial cells, and its antiatherogenic properties support cardiovascular homeostasis. Diminished NO bioavailability is a common hallmark of endothelial dysfunction underlying the patho‑ genesis of the cardiovascular disease. Vascular NO is synthesized by endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) from the substrate L‑arginine (L‑Arg), with tetrahydrobiopterin...
