Gyakorlatban szerzett kutatási, együttműködési tapasztalatainkat mutatjuk be ebben az írásban egy hajléktalanság és pszichoszociális fogyatékosság témájú kutatási projektből, amit magyar egyetemi keretek között végeztünk hárman, egy egyetemi hallgató és két tapasztalati szakértő, érintett kutatótárs. Érvelünk a szociális szolgáltatásokat igénybe vevő, hátrányos helyzetű emberek kutató-szerepben való gyakoribb bevonása mellett olyan kutatásokban, amik hátrányos helyzetű emberekről és a szociális szolgáltatásokról szólnak. Ehhez kiemelünk előnyöket és kihívásokat az ilyen bevonással kapcsolatban, és megfogalmazunk néhány gyakorlati javaslatot főleg olyanok számára, akik kezdők ezen a területen.

Background Retinopathy of prematurity is treated with laser photocoagulation under general anaesthesia with intubation using endotracheal tube (ETT), which carries a risk for postoperative mechanical ventilation (MV). Laryngeal mask airway (LMA) may provide a safe alternative. We assessed the need for postoperative MV in preterm infants who received LMA versus ETT. Methods In this single-centre, retrospective cohort study, preterm infants who underwent laser photocoagulation between 2014–2021 were enroled. For airway management, patients received either LMA ( n  = 224) or ETT ( n  = 47). The outcome was the rate of postoperative MV. Results Patients’ age were 37 [35;39] weeks of postmenstrual age, median bodyweight of Group LMA was higher than Group ETT’s (2110 [1800;2780] g versus 1350 [1230;1610] g, respectively, p  < 0.0001). After laser photocoagulation, 8% of Group LMA and 74% of Group ETT left the operating theatre requiring MV. Multiple logistic regression revealed that the use of LMA and every 100 g increase in bodyweight significantly decreased the odds of mechanical ventilation (OR 0.21 [95% CI 0.07–0.60], and 0.73 [95% CI 0.63–0.84], respectively). Propensity score matching confirmed that LMA decreased the odds of postoperative MV (OR 0.30 [95% CI 0.11–0.70]). Conclusion The use of LMA is associated with a reduced need for postoperative MV. Impact Using laryngeal mask airway instead of endotracheal tube for airway management in preterm infants undergoing general anaesthesia for laser photocoagulation for treating retinopathy of prematurity could significantly decrease the postoperative need for mechanical ventilation. According to our current understanding, this has been the largest study investigating the effect of laryngeal mask airway during general anaesthesia in preterm infants. Our study suggests that the use of laryngeal mask airway is a viable alternative to intubation in the vulnerable population of preterm infants in need of laser treatment.

(1) Introduction: Negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) is a frequently applied open abdomen (OA) treatment. There are only a few experimental data supporting this method and describing the optimal settings and pressure distribution in the abdominal cavity during this procedure. The aim of our study was to evaluate pressure values at different points in the abdominal cavity during NPWT in experimental abdominal compartment syndrome (ACS) animal model; (2) Methods: In this study (permission Nr. 13/2014/UDCAW), 27 Hungahib pigs (15.4–20.2 kg) were operated on. ACS was generated by implanting a plastic bag in the abdomen through mini-laparotomy and filled with 2100–3300 mL saline solution (37 °C) to an intraabdominal pressure (IAP) of 30 mmHg. After 3 h, NPWT (Vivano Med® Abdominal Kit, Paul Hartmann AG, Germany) or a Bogota bag was applied. The NPWT group was divided into −50, −100 and −150 mmHg suction groups. Pressure distribution to the abdominal cavity was monitored at 6 different points of the abdomen via a multichannel pressure monitoring system; (3) Results: The absolute pressure levels were significantly higher above than below the protective layer. The values of the pressure were similar in the midline and laterally. Amongst the bowels, the pressure values changed periodically between 0 and −12 mmHg which might be caused by peristaltic movements; (4) Conclusions: The porcine model of the present study seems to be well applicable for investigating ACS and NPWT. It was possible to provide valuable information for clinicians. The pressure was well distributed by the protective layer to the lateral parts of the abdomen and this phenomenon did not change considerably during the therapy.

Rice (Oryza L) is the species, which is most widely consumed grain staple food for human under wetland cultivation especially in Asia and Europe. Oryza sativa L as a cereal grain started cultivate about 600 years ago in Hungary and restarted the production in high quality at the latest decade. The first aim of this study was to follow the preparation of new rice products comparing different functional parameters in rice variants and second aim was to estimate the stability and process ability of the future of rice cultivation in Hungary. For this purpose, we measured the values of consistency by amylograph and calculated the optimal parameters producing rice cakes. The values of consistency demonstrated that the different variety of rice show diversity. First from boiled rice we made traditional boils, called \"mochi\" and prepared a new cake and baked. Fruit was added, that raised the quality of the flavour. Comparing brown rice and white rice, the tack is similar, but the flavour of the cake is different. Rice can be a good addition to daily diets in particular diseases. The produced goods have similarity in flavour to the Asian products with typical Hungarian characteristics. Rice consumption will be raised most likely, due to its complete value and gluten allergy. The background of rice production can be ensured, and new rice products need to be developed sustainably in the future in Hungary.

Globular clusters have proven to be essential to our understanding of many important astrophysical phenomena. Here we analyse spectroscopic observations of ten Halo globular clusters to determine their dark matter content, their tidal heating by the Galactic disc and halo, describe their metallicities and the likelihood that Newtonian dynamics explain their kinematics. We analyse a large number of members in all clusters, allowing us to address all these issues together, and we have included NGC 288 and M30 to overlap with previous studies. We find that any flattening of the velocity dispersion profiles in the outer regions of our clusters can be explained by tidal heating. We also find that all our GCs have M/L_V < 5, therefore, we infer the observed dynamics do not require dark matter, or a modification of gravity. We suggest that the lack of tidal heating signatures in distant clusters indicates the Halo is not triaxial. The isothermal rotations of each cluster are measured, with M4 and NGC 288 exhibiting rotation at a level of 0.9 +/- 0.1 km/s and 0.25 +/- 0.15 km/s, respectively. We also indirectly measure the tidal radius of NGC 6752, determining a more realistic figure for this cluster than current literature values. Lastly, an unresolved and intriguing puzzle is uncovered with regard to the cooling of the outer regions of all ten clusters.
