    Abstract Chronic kidney disease patients appear to be predisposed to heart rhythm disorders, including atrial fibrillation/atrial flutter, ventricular arrhythmias, and supraventricular tachycardias, which increase the risk of sudden cardiac death. The pathophysiological factors underlying arrhythmia and sudden cardiac death in patients with end-stage renal disease are unique and include timing and frequency of dialysis and dialysate composition, vulnerable myocardium, and acute proarrhythmic factors triggering asystole. The high incidence of sudden cardiac deaths suggests that this population could benefit from implantable cardioverter-defibrillator therapy. The introduction of implantable cardioverter-defibrillators significantly decreased the rate of all-cause mortality; however, the benefits of this therapy among patients with chronic kidney disease remain controversial since the studies provide conflicting results. Electrolyte imbalances in haemodialysis patients may result in ineffective shock therapy or the appearance of non-shockable underlying arrhythmic sudden cardiac death. Moreover, the implantation of such devices is associated with a risk of infections and central venous stenosis. Therefore, in the population of patients with heart failure and severe renal impairment, periprocedural risk and life expectancy must be considered when deciding on potential device implantation. Harmonised management of rhythm disorders and renal disease can potentially minimise risks and improve patients' outcomes and prognosis.

    Abstract The essence of VGI (volunteered geographic information) lies not only in obtaining spatial data from residents (the classic “citizens as sensors” approach (Goodchild, 2007), but also in stimulating them to be active as far as social (geo)participation shaping the development of urban space. The contemporary challenge of the “smart city” era is the creation of a Digital Agora, which facilitates (and analytically supports) not only social debate on spatial planning, but also enabling the acquisition of spatial knowledge. The article presents the application of geoinformation technology and spatial data mining in the analysis of VGI data and knowledge acquisition for the purpose of sustainable urban development. The aim of the article is to propose a general model of digital social debate on the participatory creation of a smart city and sustainable spatial development. This approach can be used to collect spatial data and transform them into useful spatial knowledge. The article discusses two cases of using the Digital Agora model to collect and analyze spatial data.

    Abstract Psoriasis is a chronic, inflammatory, often relapsing disease that is frequently associated with other diseases of similar pathogenesis. The multi-morbidity in the psoriasis population significantly impedes both diagnosis and implementation of appropriate preventive measures. However, the common denominator for this group of diseases is the inflammatory process that initiates the appearance of subsequent symptoms and health consequences, most of which can be avoided or alleviated by modifying the patient's lifestyle and incorporating appropriate treatment. Health consequences associated with systemic inflammation include cardiovascular incidents and other cardiometabolic diseases. This article was based on available publications on the onset, incidence, and prevention of cardiovascular disease in the psoriasis patient population.

    Abstract Background: Brachial aortic Pulse Wave Velocity (baPWV) and bone mineral density (BMD) are important indicators of cardiovascular health and bone strength, respectively. However, the gender-specific association between baPWV and BMD remains unclear. The aim of our study is to evaluate the relationship between baPWV and BMD in men and women populations METHODS: A comprehensive search was conducted in electronic databases for relevant studies published between the 1th and 30rd of April 2023. Studies reporting the correlation between baPWV and BMD in both males and females were considered. A random-effects model was used to calculate pooled correlation coefficients (r).
    Results: Relevant data for both genders were found in six articles. In all publications included in the meta-analysis, the total number of studied individuals was 3800, with 2054 women and 1746 men. Pooled correlation coefficient was -0,24 (95 % CI: -0.34; -0.15) in women population, and -0.12 (95 %CI: -0.16, -0.06) in men.
    Conclusions: Based on the published data, we found that baPWV is negatively correlated with bone density in women. However, in men we do not find such a relationship. These findings suggest the importance of considering gender-specific factors when assessing the cardiovascular and bone health relationship.

    Abstract Objective: To identify, investigate and categorize the most frequently shared content related to COVID-19 by social media users.
    Methods: The BuzzSumo analytic tool was used to identify the most frequently shared content about COVID-19 between July and August 2020. They were then analyzed and classified into eight main categories according to their topic.
    Results: Among 120 articles that were shared 6,189,187 times in total during the analyzed period, the most popular were those that referred to methods for decreasing COVID-19 spread and characteristics. No myths or misinformation were found in the most frequently shared articles. The most popular content included humorous yet educational videos.
    Conclusions: The most frequently shared content by social media users is reliable and refers to prevention in the first place. As humorous videos about prevention attracted the most attention, it seems an attractive and potentially effective strategy to foster online preventive behaviors during the pandemic.
    Lay summary: The most popular articles that were shared more than 6 million times in total during the analyzed period of time referred methods for decreasing COVID-19 spread and COVID-19 characteristics. The Internet and social media provide countless opportunities and audiences to deliver accurate knowledge and recommendations on COVID-19 and may contribute to fostering preventive and responsible behaviors.

    Abstract Introduction: In recent years, healthcare systems around the world have been subject to profound changes driven by advances in technology, new regulations as well as demographic and societal trends. This volatile and stressful environment has had its consequences for healthcare organizations and their employees. The resulting phenomena of burnout or lowered well‑being may affect key aspects of healthcare delivery on individual, organizational, and financial levels.
    Objectives: The objective of this paper was to investigate the level of burnout and well‑being in a group of Polish physicians, its impact on errors, and associations with other factors.
    Patients and methods: This was a cross‑sectional survey using a self‑administered questionnaire with 65 questions and validated tools such as the Maslach Burnout Inventory and the World Health Organization-5 Well‑being Index (WHO‑5). Correlations between variables were investigated using Spearman rank correlation analysis. Univariable and multivariable logistic regression models were used to evaluate predictors of burnout and errors. The study included residents and physicians of various specialties.
    Results: A total of 125 residents and physicians, mostly internists and cardiologists, participated in the study, out of which 84 (67%) were found to be burned out. The median WHO‑5 score was 40 points. Two‑thirds of all physicians admitted to making an error in the last 3 months, which was strongly  associated with burnout.
    Conclusions: The level of burnout among respondents was high and had numerous negative consequences that may affect the entire healthcare system. The results suggest there is an urgent need to address the problem of burnout among physicians.

    Abstract This paper proposes a methodology for numerical modeling of terraforming Mars’ atmosphere using high-energy asteroid impact and greenhouse gas production processes. The developed simulation model uses a spatial data science approach to analyze the Global Climate Model of Mars and cellular automata to model the changes in Mars’ atmospheric parameters. The developed model allows estimating the energy required to raise the planet’s temperature by sixty degrees using different variations of the terraforming process. Using a data science approach for spatial big data analysis has enabled successful numerical simulations of global and local atmospheric changes on Mars and an analysis of the energy potential required for this process.
