The second half of the 18th century marked an extraordinary flowering of music, especially church music in the Czech lands. Monastic churches, in particular, were characterised by a high level of music production performed by choral scholars whose liturgical music was conducted by chosen monks. Some members of religious orders also composed. These were for example M. J. Haberhauer (1746-1799), a member of the Benedictine order situated in Rajhrad near Brno and P. J. Marek (1748-1806) who belonged to the Augustinian monastery in Brno. Both of them got a musical education as choral scholars and remained musically active also after entering orders. Eventually these two authors both performed as chorregents in the 70’s and early 80’s of the 18th century and they collected sacred and secular pieces of music of their more famous and popular contemporaries (C. Ditters, F. X. Brixi, Haydn, etc.). Apart from a few exceptions they were only composing liturgical works. Haberhauer bequeathed 90 compositions, most of whom composed of Mass for choir and solo accompanied with instrumental ensemble as well as vespers and motets. Marek, however, composed only 21 church compositions and most of them consist of Marian antiphons and litanies of Loreto. These were necessary at the Augustinians, given the honor rendered to the picture of Virgin Mary placed in their church. The two monasteries ran a mutual cooperation which can be proved by Haberhauer music collection preserved at Augustinians in Brno. Haberhauer work can be also found in the collections of other Moravian churches and also at Prague Benedictine order. While Marek’s compositions were exclusively connected to the Augustinian monastery in Brno. Their pieces of music are purely purposeful showing features of a musical classicism. Lives and works of both composers are now the subject of research of the author and of Pavel Žůrek from the Ins, Irena Veselá., and Obsahuje bibliografické odkazy
OBJECTIVES: Osseous dysplasias are the most common subtype of fibro-osseous lesions of the maxillofacial bones. They are benign and often present as incidental asymptomatic lesions. Diagnosis can be made with clinical and radiographic examination. CASE REPORT: This article reports the case of a 47-year-old man with a huge cementifying osseous dysplasia of the maxilla that presented with secondary infection after teeth extraction and repair of oroantral fistula. A subtotal maxillectomy had to be done after conservative treatment failed to resolve the infection. DISCUSSION/CONCLUSION: Biopsy, tooth extraction or surgical trauma to the affected bones of osseous dysplasia could easily lead to severe secondary infection, the treatment of which may be very difficult, and thus should be avoided if possible. and S.

Udržení adekvátní perfuze cílových orgánů hraje zásadní roli v managementu kardiogenního šoku, který je stále zatížen vysokou mortalitou. Pokud farmakologická léčba společně se snahou o ovlivnění příčiny srdečního poškození selhávají, je nutno bezprostředně zvážit zavedení mechanické podpory oběhu k zajištění orgánové perfuze. K dočasné podpoře oběhu je využíváno více typů podpor zahrnující intraaortální balonkovou kontrapulzaci, mimotělní membránovou oxygenaci, perkutánně nebo chirurgicky implantované srdeční podpory. V přehledu je šířeji diskutována problematika jednotlivých typů podpor oběhu, zkušenosti s nimi a jejich role v managementu kardiogenního šoku., The maintenance of adequate end‑organ perfusion is the cornerstone of cardiogenic shock management, which still carries a poor prognosis. Mechanical circulatory support to ensure organ perfusion is required once pharmacological therapy together with the effort to affect the cause of heart failure is less effective or fails. There are currently several circulatory support options, including intra‑aortic balloon counterpulsation, extracorporeal membrane oxygenation and percutaneously or surgically implanted ventricular assist devices. The role of, and experience with, each of these support devices in the management of cardiogenic shock is broadly discussed in this review., and Šimek M., Hutyra M., Zuščich O., Klváček A.
Zlatým standardem léčby konečného stadia srdečního selhání je transplantace srdce. Nedostatek dárců omezuje množství provedených srdečních transplantací. Transplantační centra potřebují těmto pacientům nabídnout alternativu pro léčbu srdečního selhání. Mechanické srdeční podpory jsou používány jako tzv. most k transplantaci u pacientů na čekací listině (dlouhodobé podpory). Tento souhrnný článek popisuje současný stav léčby chronického srdečního selhání transplantací srdce a implantací mechanické srdeční podpory., Heart transplantation is the gold standard for patients with end‑stage heart failure. The available donor supply limits the number of cardiac transplants. Transplant centres need to provide alternative therapy for these patients with heart failure. The mechanical circulatory support systems are used as a bridge to transplantation in heart transplant candidates (long‑term support). This review describes the current status of heart transplantation and long‑term mechanical circulatory support devices for treatment of chronic heart failure., and Fila P., Bedáňová H., Horváth V., Ondrášek J., Piler P., Němec P.
