Przypadek Tatiany Formułując estetyczne zamierzenia wobec swej kompozycji opartej na tekście Puszkinowskiego Eugeniusza Oniegina, Piotr Czajkowski pisał w liście do Sergiusza Taniejewa: Chcę, by nie było ani carów, caryc, narodowych buntów, bitew, marszów, słowemwszystkiego tego, co stanowi atrybut grand opéra. Poszukuję intymnego, ale silnego dramatu opartego na konflikcie sytuacji, których także doświadczyłem lub które widziałem, potrafiących głęboko mnie poruszyć 1. Tchaikovsky's (un)touchable women. The case of Tatiana Summary The topos of an (un)touchable woman seems to be typical of the idealized women's portraits encountered in the Romanticism. Pushkin's Tatiana seems deprived of the body. In the foreground of her portrait there are features and qualities other than her physicality. In the case of Tchaikovsky it can be noted that the topos starts from the text, which it is assigned to, it is realized in the real world, to return once more, again illustrated by other means of artistic process, in the great opera.

Both writers, belonging to extremely different literary periods and using other medium, were interested in the most important matters, among others the matter of life and death. Paradoxical metaphor of "a living dead" may imply not only a person being physically exhausted but above all a person deprived of emotions, experience and human reactions, whose fate brings nothing else but the inevitability of death. However, the matter that links both Pushkin and Kharms is the concept of "a coincidence", which rules human fate, which is unpredictable, hard to avoid and which is a tool at hands of the providence.

The author of Fonetyka rosyjska. Praktyczny przewodnik po wymowie i intonacji z ćwiczeniami, was guided by two principles, meaning that the phonological system of the native language may be a starting point and the articulation base for learning foreign pronunciation as well as that the next learning units should be based on the most difficult parts of Russian phonetics – especially those in which an interference with Polish language is observed, and those which involve pronunciation mistakes, frequently made by Polish speaking people learn-ing Russian. Finally, the material layout consists of simultaneous isolation of difficulties during the systematic introduction of the new phonetic elements.

The book by Libor Martinek and Małgorzata Gamrat, which is the result of cooperation between a literary scholar and a musicologist, is the main basis for and contribution to this discussion. Following the path set by P. Scher, these authors have found a methodological dimension, on which issues of literary text functioning in the music sphere are located, and on the other hand, attempts to define a so-called literary text’s musical aspects.

Our objective was to investigate the effect of L-arg supplementation on the frequency of monocytic (M) and polymorphonuclear (PNM) myeloid-derived suppressor cells (M-MDSCs and PMN-MDSCs, respectively). We enrolled 65 CRC patients (34 males, 31 females) aged 69 ± 10 years into a prospective, randomised, double-blind study. Twenty-eight patients received L-arg and 37 received placebo for 9 days at a dose of 10 g/day. The frequency changes in MDSC, CD4+ cells and the concentration of C-reactive protein (CRP) were assessed before supplementation with L-arg (test 1), after 9 days of supplementation (test 2), and after surgery on day 11 (test 3). The frequency of M-MDSC in the tumours of patients receiving L-arg supplementation was higher than in placebo-treated patients, as was the frequency of PMN-MDSC and M-MDSC in the mucosa. CRP concentration in the serum of placebo-treated patients in test 2 was higher than in test 1, and the concentration in the serum of patients with L-arg supplementation in test 2 was lower than in test 1. Moreover, the expression pattern of the argininosuccinate synthase 1 (ASS1) suggests that CRC is not auxotrophic for L-arg. The results of this study do not support the hypothesis that L-arg supplementation in CRC patients can reduce immunosuppression by decreasing the frequency of suppressor cells and increasing the frequency of effector CD4+ T cells.

Recent meta‐analyses suggest that the risk of surgical complications is similar for both ligation variants. The main objective was to compare the survival time in both groups with a minimum 48 months’ follow‐up. Secondary objectives were comparison of the number of harvested lymph nodes, the complication rate and other selected data related to the surgery.

To determine risk factors for postoperative morbidity and mortality following major surgery for gastric cancer. Between 1.08.2006 and 30.11.2014 in the Department of Oncological Surgery of Gdynia Oncology Centre 162 patients underwent gastric resection for adenocarcinoma. All procedures were performed by 13 surgeons. Five of them performed at least two gastrectomies per year (n = 106). The remaining 56 resections were done by eight surgeons with annual volume lower than two. Perioperative mortality was defined as every in-hospital death and death within 30 days after surgery. Causes of perioperative deaths were the matter of in-depth analysis. Overall morbidity was 23.5%, including 4.3% rate of proximal anastomosis leak. Mortality rate was 4.3%. Morbidity and mortality were not dependent on: age, gender, body mass index, tumour location, exte...

It is used in treatment of disseminated melanoma. Therapy is associated with high risk of complications. One of the most serious, although one of the rarest is perforation of gastrointestinal tract. In this case report we describe a 52-year old male, with disseminated melanoma with unknown starting point, treated with anti- CTLA4 monoclonal antibody. After 3rd dose of drug administration, bloody diarrhea and acute abdominal pain occurred as a symptom of gastrointestinal perforation. A single perforation was sutured during laparotomy. Symptoms of acute abdomen returned after 10 days. Pus-faecalperitonitis, symptoms of necro-hemorrhagic colitis and multilocal perforation of the colon were found during relaparotomy. Pancolectomy with end ileostomy was performed. Few hours since relaparotomy pacient died due to multiple organ failure. The purpose of this case report is to draw attention to a risk of multilocal colon p...

Elderly patients with colorectal cancer more often require surgery. Advanced age of patients seems to increase the risk of postoperative complications. the aim of the study was to compare the frequency of early complications in two groups of patients: under 75 and over 75, undergoing elective colorectal cancer surgery. Material and methods. 440 consecutive adult patients subjected to colorectal cancer surgery between 08.2006 to 10.2011 in Oncological Surgery Department, Gdynia Centre of Oncology. Group A (over 75 year-of-life): 109 patients, median 79 and group B (up to 75 year-of-life): 331 patients, median 65. Patients requiring emergency surgery were excluded from the study. Postoperative 30-day mortality, anastomotic leakage, wound infection, bowel obstruction, postoperative respiratory and circulatory insufficiency were among analyzed complications. Results. Symptomatic disease was observed in 81.6% of group A and in 83% of group B. Groups A and B were comparable concerning: BMI, gender, tumor staging, rate of curative and palliative resections, and duration of hospital stay. Accompanying diseases were more common in group A (83% vs 65%; p<0.0002). Early complications occurred in 21.1% of patients from group A and in 19.9% from group B. The rate of reoperation in early perioperative period didn't differ (6.4% vs 5.7%). Features like: age, gender, additional illnesses, tumor location and staging did not influence the occurrence of perioperative complications. conclusions. Age itself is not a risk factor for postoperative complications in spite of higher rate of accompanying diseases in elderly.
