Stress-induced cardiomyopathy

В кардиологична клиника постъпва 70-годишна жена с гръдна болка. Ангинозният характер на болката, наличните ЕКГ промени и дискинезия на сърдечния връх насочват към остър коронарен синдром. Проведената коронарна ангиография не установява промени в епикардните съдове. След няколко дни настъпва пълно възстановяване на кинетиката. Приета е диагноза стрес-индуцирана кардиомиопатия.А 70-year-old woman is admitted to the Cardiology Department because of retrosternal pain. The typical angina, ECG changes and apical dyskinesia lead to the diagnosis of acute coronary syndrome. The coronary angiography does not show any significant lesions. The kinetics of left ventricle is fully restored in few days. The final diagnosis is stress-induced cardiomyopathy

Design and specific features of a study of the long term cardiovascular and metabolic risk in type 1 diabetes mellitus

Among the traditional risk factors for cardiovascular diseases (CVD) in individuals with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM), new ones are constantly being sought for timely prophylaxis and treatment. The increasing knowledge of the role of inflammation and visceral adipose tissue in the pathogenesis of T1DM complications is an integral part of the work of leading European centers. Obesity is a progressing risk factor and its role in the cardiovascular pathology of patients with T1DM is unclear. Lack of established practices and algorithms for management in these individuals has been poorly studied and presented to date. With prevalence of intensified insulin therapy in T1DM, leading sometimes to relatively high doses, and with the contemporary habits of eating, the patients’ risk of morbidity and mortality increases. Prioritization of cost-effective projects and specific timely commitment to protect disability in these patients is of utmost importance in scientific and healthcare aspects. The aim of this article is to present the design of the study of the cardiovascular and metabolic risk in patients with long-term T1DM

IDENTIFICATION OF LACTIC ACID BACTERIA ISOLATED FROM KATYK, GOAT’S MILK AND CHEESE

Eighteen lactic acid bacterial strains were isolated from home made katyk, goat's milk and cheese. Nine of them belonged to lactic acid cocci and others were referred to genus Lactobacillus. Five strains were identified to species by determination of morphological, cultural, physiological and biochemical characteristics - Pediococcus acidilactici, Pediococcus pentosaceus, Lactobacillus delbrueckii ssp. bulgaricus, Lactobacillus helveticus and Lactobacillus plantarum
