Autorka omawia film Uczta wigilijna (Plácido, 1961) w reżyserii Luisa Garcíi Berlangi w kontekście przemian, jakie na początku drugiej połowy XX w. przechodziło kino narodowe w Hiszpanii. ...Okoliczności powstania filmu, ingerencja cenzury oraz jego tematyka i styl autorski to zagadnienia, którym autorka przygląda się w ramach dyskursu kina propagandowego (historycznego) i eskapistycznego (filmowe españolady), programowo wprowadzanego przez frankistów na przełomie lat 30. i 40. XX w. Berlanga blisko współpracował z pisarzem i scenarzystą Rafaelem Azconą, a jako przedstawiciel Nowego Kina w latach 50. i 60. XX w. był jednym z tych twórców, którzy zrewolucjonizowali pojęcie kina narodowego w swoim kraju. Powołując się na prace hiszpańskich teoretyków i znawców twórczości Berlangi, autorka podkreśla znaczenie Uczty wigilijnej w ówczesnej sytuacji społeczno-politycznej, a także wpływ tej produkcji na reinterpretację kategorii kina narodowego w Hiszpanii.
Lymphadenectomy is an essential part of complete surgical operation for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). This retrospective, multicenter cohort study aimed to identify factors that influence the ...lymphadenectomy quality. Data were obtained from the Polish Lung Cancer Study Group Database. The primary endpoint was lobe-specific mediastinal lymph node dissection (L-SMLND). The study included 4271 patients who underwent VATS lobectomy for stage IA NSCLC, operated between 2007 and 2022. L-SMLND was performed in 1190 patients (27.9%). The remaining 3081 patients (72.1%) did not meet the L-SMLND criteria. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that patients with PET-CT (OR 3.238, 95% CI: 2.315 to 4.529;
< 0.001), with larger tumors (pT1a vs. pT1b vs. pT1c) (OR 1.292; 95% CI: 1.009 to 1.653;
= 0.042), and those operated on by experienced surgeons (OR 1.959, 95% CI: 1.432 to 2.679;
< 0.001) had a higher probability of undergoing L-SMLND. The quality of lymphadenectomy decreased over time (OR 0.647, 95% CI: 0.474 to 0.884;
= 0.006). An analysis of propensity-matched groups showed that more extensive lymph node dissection was not related to in-hospital mortality, complication rates, and hospitalization duration. Actions are needed to improve the quality of lymphadenectomy for NSCLC.
Primary thymic carcinomas are very rare tumors. Their incidence is estimated around 1 to 3 cases per 10 million inhabitants. In this group, lymphoepithelioma-like carcinoma occurs (LELC) in 5–32% and ...the prognosis of advanced cases is poor. A 17-year-old man was admitted to the hospital because of an enlarged right cervical lymph node. A computed tomography (CT) scan of the chest revealed an 8 cm tumor in the anterior mediastinum, with suspected left brachiocephalic vein infiltration (Figure 1). Besides the tumor in the mediastinum and metastasis in the right cervical lymph node (Figure 2), no other lesions with increased 18F-FDG uptake on positron emission tomography (PET)-CT were demonstrated. All other tests (laryngological examination, abdominal CT, blood tests including -FP and -HCG, bone marrow biopsy) were negative for cancer involvement. The right cervical lymph node was excised and the patient was diagnosed with thymic LELC.
The outcomes of non-small cell lung cancer surgery are influenced by the quality of lymphadenectomy. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of different energy devices on lymphadenectomy quality and ...identify additional influencing factors. This secondary analysis of the prospective randomized trial data (clinicaltrials.gov: NCT03125798) compared patients who underwent thoracoscopic lobectomy with the LigaSure device (study group,
= 96) and monopolar device (control group,
= 94). The primary endpoint was the lobe-specific mediastinal lymphadenectomy. Lobe-specific mediastinal lymphadenectomy criteria were met in 60.4% and 38.3% of patients in the study and control groups, respectively (
0.002). In addition, in the study group, the median number of mediastinal lymph node stations removed was higher (4 vs. 3,
0.017), and complete resection was more often achieved (91.7% vs. 80.9%,
0.030). Logistic regression analysis indicated that lymphadenectomy quality was positively associated with the use of the LigaSure device (OR, 2.729; 95% CI, 1.446 to 5.152;
0.002) and female sex (OR, 2.012; 95% CI, 1.058 to 3.829;
0.033), but negatively associated with a higher Charlson Comorbidity Index (OR, 0.781; 95% CI, 0.620 to 0.986;
0.037), left lower lobectomy (OR, 0.263; 95% CI, 0.096 to 0.726;
0.010) and middle lobectomy (OR, 0.136; 95% CI, 0.031 to 0.606,
0.009). This study found that using the LigaSure device can improve the quality of lymphadenectomy in lung cancer patients and also identified other factors that affect the quality of lymphadenectomy. These findings contribute to improving lung cancer surgical treatment outcomes and provide valuable insights for clinical practice.
During all economic activity very entrepreneur has contact with at least four Offices.Depending on type of the business he number of public institutions which entrepreneur willcontact may increase. ...Presented in this article public administration institutions are the mostcommon that participate in the economic life of the entrepreneur.

The purpose of this publication is to show and analyse the issue of transsexual people who feel the need to reassign their sex assigned at birth and their biological sex due to a gender identity ...disorder. The paper is a polemic against the views presented in the case-law practice, suggesting the uniform and statutory regulation of transgender people’s situation in Polish law, drawing from the achievement of the ‘Principles’ written in Yogyakarta. One of the main postulates resulting from this publication concerns the regulation of the conditions and procedure of the legal sex transition that guarantee transsexual people the enjoyment of their fundamental rights and freedoms on equal terms with other members of society. The article is supposed to contribute to combating discrimination and increasing awareness in the area of transsexuality which is viewed stereotypically and is unknown to most people, with the exception of a small group of experts who fight against exclusion that conditioned by a different gender identity.
The author discusses the film Plácido (1961) by Luis García Berlanga in the context of the changes of national cinema in Spain at the beginning of the second half of the 20th century. The ...circumstances of the film’s production, the interference of censorship, as well as the subject matter and the author’s style are the issues that the author reflects on as part of the discourse of propaganda (historical) and escapist (film españolades) cinema, introduced by Francoists programmatically at the turn of the 1930s and 1940s. As a representative of New Cinema, in the 1950s and 1960s Berlanga was one of those who, in cooperation with the author and screenwriter Rafael Azcona, revolutionized the concept of national cinema in the country. Referring to the works of Spanish theoreticians and experts on Berlanga’s work, the author underlines the importance of Plácido in the socio-political context of the time, as well as the impact of the movie on the reinterpretation of the category of national cinema in Spain.
