Conflict & Compassie: een hedendaagse blik op Wagner en een wagneriaanse blik op onszelf.
No full text(text in Dutch) Mediated by the so-called Dream-organ ('Traumorgan') which opera composer Richard Wagner mentions in his writings, the author engages in a fictitious dialogue with Wagner. Their dialogue focuses on a few topics related to the conference theme 'Conflict and compassion' that were of concern to Wagner in his days and which have undergone some serious changes since his death. The author discusses with Wagner the 'death of tragedy', sexuality and desire after the sexual revolution, the attractivity of musical genres like film and dance music, and the role of travel
Relationship Between Micronutrient Ferritin, Vitamin D, And Calcium With The Severity Of Diabetic Foot Based On The Wagner-Meggitt Criteria At Adam Malik Hospital
No full textBackground: Diabetic foot is a significant complication for Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus’s (T2DM) patients. Previous studies have linked diabetic foot to micronutrients such as ferritin, vitamin D, and calcium, but there have been no follow-up studies in Medan.
Objective: This study aimed to analyze the relationship between levels of ferritin, vitamin D, and calcium with the severity of diabetic foot, as measured by the Wagner-Meggit criteria, in T2DM patients at Adam Malik Hospital.
Method: A cross-sectional study with 48 T2DM patients at Adam Malik Hospital from December 2022 to December 2023. Micronutrient levels were measured, and the severity of diabetic foot was assessed using the Wagner-Meggitt classification.
Result: The majority of participants (64.6%) were female. High ferritin levels were observed in 91.6% of patients, while 93.75% had low levels of calcium and vitamin D. Bivariate analysis revealed no significant correlations between ferritin, corrected calcium, or vitamin D levels and Wagner grades 2-5 (p=0.515, p=0.646, p=0.377, respectively). Non-parametric correlation analysis showed significant relationships between corrected calcium (p=0.022) and vitamin D (p=0.027) with Wagner grades.
Discussion: Among the 48 subjects, bivariate testing found that ferritin levels above 150 ng/ml were not linked to diabetic foot severity. Low calcium levels (below 8.5 ng/dl) were significantly associated with increased severity of diabetic foot (p < 0.03). 93.75% of participants had low vitamin D levels, which also correlated significantly with foot severity (p=0.027).
Conclusion: The study concluded that calcium and vitamin D levels correlate with the severity of diabetic foot, whereas ferritin levels do not
The Association Between Lipid Profiles and Atherogenic Index with Diabetic Foot Severity According to the Wagner-Meggitt Classification at Adam Malik Hospital
No full textABSTRACTIntroduction: Diabetic foot is a serious complication that leads to ulcers and amputations. Identifying risk factors, such as lipid profiles and atherogenic indices is crucial for prevention and treatment for cardiovascular disease and peripheral arterial disease. This study aims to investigate the relationship between lipid profiles and atherogenic indices with the severity of diabetic foot, categorized by the Wagner-Meggitt classification, at Adam Malik Hospital.
Methods: This analytical observational study with cross-sectional design was conducted at Adam Malik Hospital, involving 70 diabetic foot patients. Data were collected from medical records, focusing on lipid profiles. Atherogenic indices were calculated as ratios: TC/HDL, TG/HDL, and LDL/HDL. The severity of diabetic foot was measured using the Wagner-Meggitt classification. Statistical analysis included Chi-square and Spearman's rho tests.
Results: Of the 70 patients, most were aged 51-60 (41.4%), male (60%), and had normal BMI (57.1%). There was a significant correlation between diabetic foot severity and triglyceride levels (p=0.0002, r=0.358) as well as the TC/HDL ratio (p=0.02, r=-0.277). However, no significant relationships were found for total cholesterol (p=0.533), HDL (p=0.254), LDL (p=0.533), the TG/HDL ratio (p=0.158), or the LDL/HDL ratio (p=0.92).
Discussion: In this study, 60% of the participants were male. The findings align with previous studies, demonstrating a correlation between elevated triglycerides and lipid profile abnormalities with the severity of diabetic foot ulcers.
Conclusion: Triglycerides and the total cholesterol/HDL ratio are significantly associated with the severity of diabetic foot based on the Wagner-Meggitt classification.

Dom Pedro II e Wagner
No full textRESUMO
Com base na autobiografia de Wagner e na correspondência de Dom Pedro, o autor evoca a grande admiração do Imperador brasileiro em relação ao compositor alemão, tendo inclusive contribuído financeiramente para a construção do teatro de Bayreuth, dedicado exclusivamente à música de Wagner, e assistido à sua inauguração em companhia do Imperador da Alemanha. Descreve como Dom Pedro contribuiu indiretamente para a escolha do tema da ópera Tristão e Isolda e levou o compositor a começar a escrever essa obra, cuja estréia foi planejada para o Rio de Janeiro e dedicada ao Imperador brasileiro. Comenta os motivos que levaram Wagner a tal empreendimento e analisa os equívocos decorrentes das más condições de comunicação da época, bem como os fatores que impediram a visita de Wagner ao Brasil.
ABSTRACT
Dom Pedro II and Wagner. v. 19, n. 2, p. 215-232, jul./dez. 1991
Based on the autobiography of Wagner and the correspondence of Dom Pedro, the author evokes the great admiration that the Brazilian Emperor had for the German composer, including his having contributed financially to the construction of the Bayreuth which is dedicated exclusively to Wagner´s music, and having attended its inauguration in the company of the German Emperor. The author describes how Dom Pedro contributed indirectly to the thematic choice of the opera Tristão e Isolda, and led the composer to begin to write this work whose première was planned for Rio de Janeiro and dedicated to the Brazilian Emperor. The author comments on the motives which led Wagner to undertake such a project and analyses the errors caused by the precarious conditions of communication at the time, as well as the factors that impeded Wagner´s visit to Brazil.

Relationship Between Lipid Profiles and Atherogenic Index with the Severity of Diabetic Foot Based on the Wagner-Meggitt Criteria at Adam Malik Hospital
No full textAbstract: Diabetic foot is a serious complication in patients with diabetes mellitus that can lead to ulcers, infections, and amputations. Identifying risk factors that influence the severity of diabetic foot is crucial for effective prevention and management. Lipid profiles and atherogenic indices have been widely identified as potential risk factors for atherosclerosis, cardiovascular disease, and peripheral arterial disease; however, their relationship with diabetic foot severity is not yet fully understood. This study aims to investigate the relationship between lipid profiles and atherogenic indices with the degree of severity of diabetic foot based on the Wagner-Meggitt criteria at RS. Adam Malik.
Methods: Analytical observational study with cross-sectional design was conducted at RS. Adam Malik in 70 diabetic foot patients. Data were obtained from secondary medical records, including lipid profile data such as total cholesterol (TC), LDL, HDL, and triglycerides (TG). The atherogenic index was calculated based on the ratio of total cholesterol to HDL (TC/HDL), triglycerides to HDL (TG/HDL), and LDL to HDL (LDL/HDL). The severity of diabetic foot was assessed using the Wagner-Meggitt classification. Data analysis was performed using statistical tests with Chi-square and Spearman's rho analysis.
Results: From a total of 70 samples obtained, the majority of patients were aged 51-60 years (41.4%), male (60%) and a normal BMI category (57.1%). A significant relationship was found between the degree of severity of diabetic foot and TG levels (p=0.0002, r=0.358) and the TC/HDL ratio (p=0.02, r=-0.277). In contrast, TC levels (p=0.533), HDL (p=0.254), LDL (p=0.533), TG/HDL ratio (p=0.158), and LDL/HDL ratio (p=0.92) did not show a significant relationship with the degree of severity of diabetic foot.
Conclusion: Triglycerides and the total cholesterol/HDL ratio are significantly related to the degree of severity of diabetic foot based on the Wagner- Meggit criteria.111 PagesTesis Magiste
Subpicosecond vibrational relaxation of the S 1 states of azulene and guaiazulene in solution
No full textThe S-1 population decay times of azulene and 1,4-dimethyl-7-isopropylazulene (guaiazulene) in solution have been determined as a function of their initial vibrational energy content, E(vib)(i), using a pump-probe experiment with subpicosecond time resolution. The S-1 lifetime of azulene does not depend on E(vib)(i) for energies up to 1760 cm(-1), whereas the lifetime of the shorter-lived S-1 state of guaiazulene is independent of E(vib)(i) only for energies up to similar to 1000 cm(-1). At higher energies, the lifetime decreases with increasing E(vib)(i), and exhibits the same behavior in two structurally different solvents. It is suggested that internal conversion to the electronic ground state from a vibrationally unrelaxed S-1 state is responsible for the effects observed in guaiazulene, and that intramolecular vibrational redistribution occurs with a time constant of several hundred femtoseconds.PT: J; CR: AMIRAV A, 1984, J CHEM PHYS, V81, P4200 AVOURIS P, 1977, CHEM REV, V77, P793 ELSAESSER T, 1991, ANNU REV PHYS CHEM, V42, P83 ENGLMAN R, 1970, MOL PHYS, V18, P145 HERITAGE JP, 1976, CHEM PHYS LETT, V44, P76 HUPPERT D, 1977, ISRAEL J CHEM, V16, P277 IPPEN EP, 1975, APPL PHYS LETT, V27, P488 IPPEN EP, 1977, CHEM PHYS LETT, V46, P20 KULKARNI SK, 1988, J CHEM PHYS, V89, P4441 MATSUMOTO T, 1992, CHEM PHYS LETT, V191, P627 SCHWARZER D, 1991, BER BUNSEN PHYS CHEM, V95, P933 SHANK CV, 1978, CHEM PHYS LETT, V57, P433 SOBOLEWSKI AL, 1987, CHEM PHYS, V115, P469 TITTELBACHHELMR.D, 1993, CHEM PHYS LETT, V209, P464 TRAN P, 1994, J CHEM PHYS, V100, P4165 WAGNER BD, 1992, J PHYS CHEM-US, V96, P7904 WAGNER BD, 1993, J CHEM PHYS, V98, P301; NR: 17; TC: 5; J9: CAN J CHEM; PG: 4; GA: QQ128Source type: Electronic(1

«Fugitive beauté»:Villiers de l’Isle-Adam et Wagner ou le miroir déformant d’une reconnaissance fantasmée
No full textIl s’agit de réexaminer la double rencontre entre Villiers et Wagner: sur le plan humain lors de trois séjours en Suisse et en Allemagne en 1869- 1870, sur le plan artistique à travers une relation d’influence. Villiers s’est reconnu dans la figure de Wagner qu’il a érigée en exemple pour son art sans souligner leurs différences, suivant un processus de “miroir déformant”. Cette identification lui a permis de réinventer les œuvres et théories wagnériennes et d’en livrer une image toute personnelle
