Rola magnezu w arytmiach serc

Magnesium plays an essential role in many fundamental biological reactions, as it is involved in more than 300 metabolic reactions. Deficiency of magnesium may result in many disorders, including cardiac arrhythmias. As intravenous magnesium has a high therapeutic to toxic ratio and a minimal negative inotropic effect, it has long been used in treatment and prevention of cardiac arrhythmias. Several studies have shown the beneficial effect of intravenous infusion of Mg during an attack of supraventricular tachycardia, indicating that the effectiveness of magnesium depends on the type of tachycardia. Magnesium has also an advantageous effect in the case of atrial fibrillation, considered a criterion of the effectiveness of atrial fibrillation acute treatment at the ventricular rate ? 100 min –1 . As intravenous magnesium seems to be useful in prevention and treatment of various cardiac arrhythmias, it is a common component of a complex antiarrhythmic therapy

The RECORD Experimental Map: innovative research organisations in European accession countries: Budapest, January 2004

This Experimental Map is the first application of the RECORD Benchmarking Manual, which was designed for benchmarking the activities in scientific research organisations, the institutions that play a central role in a country's innovation system. The book contains empirical information (survey results and case studies) on research institutions of Central and Eastern Europe, showing how the fashionable term of the 'centres of excellence' can be treated in practice in this region of the European Research Area. The main message of the experimental map is that the internationally competitive and innovative research organisations are few in number in these countries and with the help of the Benchmarking Manual the most important gaps in the management of these organisations can be identified in order to learn and improve performance

The RECORD Manual: benchmarking innovative research organisations in European accession countries: Budapest, January 2004

This manual was designed in the benchmarking of the activities pursued in scientific research organisations that do or intend to support innovation in their economy and society. The authors of this manual think that the RECORD benchmarking methodology proposed serves a fourfold objective in the Accession States: - to help the spread of a modern management tool; - to map competitive innovative excellence, competencies, factors of success (and failures); - to improve performance and practice in the organisations and the national innovation systems concerned, in learning organisations and in the policy making process; - to provide a better basis for channelling of funds and allocation of resources and factors
