Artykuł przedstawia treść prywatnych listów nuncjusza dla Polski G. Piazzy, rezydującego w Troppau, do wikariusza apostolskiego na północy (dla obszaru północnych Niemiec), biskupa A. Steffaniego, latach 1706-1708. Listy pokazują trudne okoliczności, jakich Piazza musiał wypełniać swoje obowiązki po abdykacji króla Augusta II. Zgodnie z punktem widzenia papieskiej dyplomacji, opowiedział się za...

W publikacji przedstawiono wizytację parafii pw. Podwyższenia Krzyża Świę­tego w Lachowiczach z dnia 21 lipca 1745 r. Jest to jej pierwsza lustracja po remoncie kościoła zniszczonego 1706 podczas wielkiej wojny północnej. Świątynia kilkakrotnie była trawiona przez pożary, została skonfiskowana powstaniu styczniowym władze carskie oraz zniszczona Białoruskiej Socjalistycznej Republiki Radzieckie...

The purpose of this study was to explore the involvement of adenosine receptor(s) in porcine coronary artery (PCA) relaxation and to define the role of MAPK signaling pathways. Isometric tensions were recorded in denuded PCA rings. 5'-(N-ethylcarboxamido)adenosine (NECA), a nonselective adenosine receptor agonist, induced a concentration-dependent relaxation (EC(50) = 16.8 nM) of PGF(2alpha) (1...

OBJECTIVE. This study compared the effects of immediate (ICC) and delayed (DCC) cord clamping on very low birth weight (VLBW) infants on 2 primary variables: bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) and suspected necrotizing enterocolitis (SNEC). Other outcome variables were late-onset sepsis (LOS) and intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH). STUDY DESIGN. This was a randomized, controlled unmasked trial in ...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Acute ischemic stroke (AIS) patients may have raised serum cardiac troponin levels on admission, although it is unclear what prognostic implications this has, and whether elevated levels are associated with cardiac causes of stroke or structural cardiac disease as seen on echocardiogram. We investigated the positivity of cardiac troponin and echocardiogram testing within ...

By virtue of the success of anti-retroviral therapy (ART), human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection has evolved into a chronic disease in which the typical complications of acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) are no longer the dominant problem. Rather than dealing with acute and potentially life-threatening complications, clinicians are now confronted with managing a chronic disease ...

2014 Normal and oblique incidence reflectances of GaTe have been measured in the 2.5 to 26 eV range using polarized synchrotron radiation. We have deduced 3 complex refractive indices, relative to 3 different crystallographic directions by means of a new method consistent with the Kramers-Kronig relations. We have verified that the electronic transitions in the 20 eV region, from the 3d Ga leve...

The presence of the red flash at total solar eclipses requires the existence of an extended chromosphere and therefore of a photospheric magnetic network that gives rise to spicules. We draw attention to the earliest historical reports of a red flash at the 1706 and 1715 eclipses, which therefore imply a substantial, widespread photospheric field during at least the last decade of the Maunder M...
