Regardless of what both patients and medical professionals might think, nowadays there is no free medicine. The need of changing the pattern is emphasized and people should become more responsible for their own health. The aim is to find a connection between the trust in GPs, prophylactic check-ups, new methods of treatment and the willingness of patients to pay for the received medical services. Material and Method: A questionnaire was prepared for the purposes of the study. The methods utilized were a direct individual anonymous questionnaire, statistical – descriptive, analytical (Chi-square). The answers were examined and statistically processed according to age, gender and education level of the participants. Results: 1. The results regarding the trust in GP is very unconvincing – only 14,5 % believe in their GP. 2. The percentage of believers in prophylactic check-ups is high - 57,9%.  3.The percentage of those who believe in the new methods and means for treatment is high, over 80%, while no difference is found with respect to the patients’ education level. 4. The patients often (86%) pay for the treatment of a specialist. 5. People with higher education more readily pay for medical care. Conclusions: 1. The lack of trust in GP combined with the strong belief in prophylactic check - ups and the new methods for diagnostic and treatment of diseases lead to higher expectations of patients towards the medical services and their readiness to pay for these services. 2. The patients indicate readiness to pay for medical services which is a part of the patients’ readiness to take care for their own health.

Background. Currently, cardioanesthesiology is one of the most actively developing areas of modern medicine. Thanks to new methods of treatment, the contingent of patients for whom it became possible to undergo cardiac surgery has significantly expanded. The main problems that lead to hemodynamic complications are endothelial dysfunction and cellular hypoxia. Purpose. To present data on the influence of clinical and laboratory factors of endothelial dysfunction and cellular hypoxia on the development of hemodynamic complications during anesthesia in cardiac surgery. Material and methods. The review and analysis of literature data from 49 sources is presented. Results. The laboratory markers of endothelial dysfunction leading to the development of major hemodynamic complications in cardiovascular diseases are MPC-1, CRP, NO, TNF-α, IL-6, homocysteine. Conclusion. The data obtained indicate a significant effect of cell markers (MPC-1, CRP, NO, TNF-A, IL-6, homocysteine) as well as clinical and laboratory factors of endothelial dysfunction not only on the development of major diseases of the cardiovascular system, but also on their complications. An early study of these markers can improve anesthesia during cardiac surgery as well as reduce complications in the postoperative period.

Previous chapters in this book have been dedicated to exploring the use of the Unified Protocol for the Transdiagnostic Treatment of Emotional Disorders (UP) with a variety of emotional disorders, and those chapters present compelling evidence for the efficacy of the UP across the range of these disorders. This evidence has now inspired further research efforts to better understand the contribution of individual treatment components, as well as to evaluate new methods of treatment delivery with the goal of furthering dissemination. The purpose of this chapter is to describe future directions and projects related to the UP, including dismantling studies, dissemination efforts, and the development of an Internet-delivered form of the intervention. Further, we discuss how these projects will enhance our understanding of the UP and how these endeavors will further a clinician’s ability to provide efficient, effective care.

The development of multicistronic vectors has opened up new opportunities to address the fundamental issues of molecular and cellular biology related to the need for the simultaneous delivery and joint expression of several genes. To date, the examples of the successful use of multicistronic vectors have been described for the development of new methods of treatment of various human diseases, including cardiovascular, oncological, metabolic, autoimmune, and neurodegenerative disorders. The safety and effectiveness of the joint delivery of therapeutic genes in multicistronic vectors based on the internal ribosome entry site (IRES) and self-cleaving 2A peptides have been shown in both in vitro and in vivo experiments as well as in clinical trials. Co-expression of several genes in one vector has also been used to create animal models of various inherited diseases which are caused by mutations in several genes. Multicistronic vectors provide expression of all mutant genes, which allows the most complete mimicking disease pathogenesis. This review comprehensively discusses multicistronic vectors based on IRES nucleotide sequence and self-cleaving 2A peptides, including its features and possible application for the treatment and modeling of various human diseases.

Abstract The paper presents a newly designed microfluidic system that allows simulation of myocardial hypoxia by biochemical method. The geometry of the microsystem was designed in such a way, that quantitative fluorescent measurements using a spectrofluorometric plate reader was possible. Biochemical simulation of hypoxia was carried out using potent mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation uncoupler—Carbonyl cyanide-4-(trifluoromethoxy)phenylhydrazone (FCCP). Two cardiac cell lines were used in the study—rat cardiomyoblasts (H9C2) and human cardiomyocytes. The effectiveness of biochemical simulation of hypoxia was studied using two fluorescent dyes: carbocyanine iodide (JC-1) and Fluo-4. Changes in the mitochondrial membrane potential and concentration of intracellular calcium ions were tested. The major novelty of this research was the applying the microfluidic system to create hypoxia conditions for cardiac cells using the biochemical approach. In further studies, the presented hypoxia model could be used to develop new methods of treatment of ischemic heart disease for example in cell therapy based on stem cells.

During the five years prior to the war I carried out a series of investigations on the treatment of general paralysis. The proportion of general paralytics resident at this hospital was then very high—some 40 out of our usual 350 males. The only treatment given by us up to that time had been mercury and potassium iodide.
