Opis:
Purpose: To develop a system of automated protection of employees from Covid-19 and other infections, it is implemented through minimizing the risks of contracting the SARS-CoV-2 virus and other respiratory viral infections within the enterprise. Design/methodology/approach: Analysis of legal normative documents and scientific and technical literature – to update the scientific problem and formulate the research tasks; methods of system analysis - to build the overall structure of the system and to establish relationships between its elements; simulation methods - to develop the algorithms of functioning and interaction of sensors and actuators of the corresponding subsystems; methods of decision theory and data mining - to develop the training programs and testing the knowledge of employees on epidemic safety. Findings: The system of automated protection of employees from Covid-19 and other infections was developed, which, due to the connection of functionally independent elements according to a certain scheme, allows minimizing the risk of contracting the SARS-CoV-2 virus and other respiratory viral infections of employees at the enterprise and increasing their protection from the occurrence of the corresponding infections by implementing a complex of anti-epidemic measures within the system and providing and constant support of the quarantine regime at the enterprise in accordance with WHO recommendations. The developed system was implemented and pilot tested at the industrial enterprise "Odessa Experimental Plant" (Odessa, Ukraine). Based on the results of the development of the system, an application was filed for obtaining a patent for invention No. a 202105894 dated 20.10.2021. Research limitations/implications: The number of system elements can change (increase/decrease) depending on the number of workplaces, as well as areas requiring control. Practical implications: The implementation of the proposed system allows increasing the level of economic sustainability of the enterprise in a complex epidemiological situation of the state or world level by minimizing the risks of enterprise shutdown as a result of the need to limit social and labour connections between employees due to implementation a full range of antiepidemic measures (in accordance with WHO recommendations) at the enterprise and constant compliance with the established quarantine regime by the employees at enterprise. Originality/value: For the first time, the system of automated protection of employees from Covid-19 and other infections was developed and proposed for use at enterprises, institutions and organizations, which, unlike others, allows the implementation of a full range of appropriate anti-epidemic measures at the enterprise (according to WHO recommendations) and ensure compliance with the established quarantine regime by the employees, due to the constant management of the sanitary-epidemic control modes of admission to the enterprise, disinfection of surfaces, ventilation and air decontamination of industrial premises etc.

Opis:
This is an application paper of applying standard methods of computational intelligence to identify diagnostic gene targets and to use them for a successful diagnosis of a medical problem - acute graft-versus-host disease (aGVHD). This is the major complication after allogeneic haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) in which functional immune cells of donor, recognize the recipient as ”foreign” and mount an immunologic attack. In this paper we analyzed gene-expression profiles of 47 genes associated with allo-reactivity in 59 patients submitted to HSCT. We have applied different dimensionality reduction techniques of the variable space, combined with different classifiers to detect the aGVHD at onset of clinical signs. This is a preliminary study which utilises both computational and biological evidence for the involvement of a limited number of genes for the diagnosis of aGVHD. Directions for further studies are also outlined in this paper.

A case is presented of mucormycosis in a patient with acute myeloblastic leukemia following liver transplantation for Wilson’s disease. A 58-year-old female was admitted to the Department of Haematology with deterioration of her general condition, loss of appetite, tiredness and difficulty with mental contact for a few days. Blood and urine cultures for bacteria and fungus, galactomannan antigen were negative. Whole body computed tomography demonstrated bilateral hilar lymphadenopathy with necrotic lesions: splenomegaly with a hypodensive lesion 13 × 20 × 19 mm and lower pulmonary infiltrates suggested fungal etiology. Magnetic resonance imaging of the brain showed thickened meninges. Finally, mucormycosis was diagnosed. Treatment with amphotericin B lipid complex was started, resulting in an partial improvement of the general condition and decreased level of inflammatory markers. However, the patient’s condition continued to deteriorate, with sepsis etiology Escherichia coli, and despite the intensive managements she eventually died.

Opis:
Uromodulin (also known as Tamm-Horsfall protein) is a glycoprotein produced exclusively in the kidneys, mainly in the epithelial cells of the thick ascending limb of the loop of Henle. Under physiological conditions, it is the most abundant urinary protein. A small proportion is released into the renal interstitium and then into the blood, where it can be detected and used as a potential parameter of renal function. Uromodulin has numerous physiological roles and potential pathogenetic significance, including providing protection against urinary tract infections and the formation of urinary deposits, as well as being involved in the immunomodulatory functions and regulation of water and electrolyte balance by the kidneys. Unlike classic renal markers (such as creatinine), uromodulin levels decrease with progressive renal dysfunction. A significant advantage of this parameter is therefore the detectable changes in concentration at the early stages of development of chronic kidney disease. In addition, assessment in clinical materials, such as urine and blood, is relatively simple by immunoenzymatic methods. It is evident that the quantitative determination of uromodulin in blood serum is associated with a lower risk of laboratory error and has a better correlation with renal function. Based on previous studies, Tamm-Horsfall protein / uromodulin can be considered a valuable parameter for standard diagnostics of kidney function and renal diseases. It appears that no other marker is currently able to reflect the integrity and functional state of the renal tubules as sensitively as uromodulin. Due to the potential of this parameter, the article presents and overview of the current information available about uromodulin, as well as the available diagnostic tests and the frequency of their use in clinical practice.

Opis:
Introduction. COVID-19 (coronavirus disease 2019) – the epidemic outbreak caused by coronavirus-severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) – is a global public health problem. Children are less affected and have a mild form of the illness. The association between SARS-CoV-2 disease, COVID-19 and late symptoms of vasculitis is often suspected, in particular in young asymptomatic patients, especially due to the post-viral immune response. Objective. The aim of the review is to describe the characteristics of children and adolescents affected by the development of Kawasaki-like mult-system inflammatory syndrome (KD) (MIS-C), and assesses its possible temporal association with SARS-CoV-2 infection. Brief description of the state of knowledge. A group of children who presented with KD-type MIS-C during the COVID-19 pandemic have been identified in the United Kingdom, the United States, and Italy. Some children were diagnosed with SARS- CoV-2 infection by real-time polymerase chain reaction and IgG antibodies. SARS-CoV-2 infection and hyperinflammation in COVID-19 can serve as an ‘initial trigger’ for KD. IVIG should be administered within seven days of onset of illness until KD symptoms disappear and COVID-19 test is negative. Large numbers of children in African countries with the SARS-CoV-2 epidemic are likely to be affected by KD, and in such cases, a shortage of IVIG supplies is expected. Conclusions. This article suggests a correlation between COVID-19 and Kawasaki-like MIS-C, which is important for the care of sick children. However, the definitive relationship between childhood KD and COVID-19 needs to be confirmed by a large cohort study on a large numbers of infant and children patients worldwide.

Opis:
Introduction and aim. The novel advancements of upcoming iron regulators used to treat diabetic nephropathy have implicated a common manifestation of combination chelation therapy used to eliminate end-stage renal disease associated with inflammation and iron imbalance that is altered by renal iron absorption. However, iron accumulation in the clustered kidneys that filter blood may cause problems that affect diabetic blood sugar regulation. Material and methods. A well-designed method was employed to discover relevant research publications on iron chelators and their potential to treat diabetic nephropathy. “Iron chelators”, “diabetic nephropathy”, “end-stage renal disease”, and “chelation therapy” were searched in Google Scholar, Web of Science, PubMed, and EMBASE. Analysis of literature. Although the specific etiology and development have not been fully explored, emerging evidence on iron pathophysiology helps comprehend the pathogenesis of acute kidney damage and chronic kidney disease, which crucially provides novel iron chelation therapy techniques. Ferroptosis and hepcidin marker proteins increase oxidative/nitrifying stress and kidney injury. Iron chelator medicines including deferoxamine, deferasirox, and deferiprone were tested as prophylactic strategies. Conclusion. This article covers both preclinical and clinical aspects of iron chelators to avoid diabetic nephropathy, including novel iron therapies that must be reviewed when selecting dosing regimens.

Najczęściej choroba ta wywoływana jest przez samych chorych, którzy prowadzą nieodpowiedni tryb życia, ze zbyt dużą ilością stresu, nieprawidłową dietą oraz unikają kontaktu z lekarzem. Wraz z postępem medycyny można szybciej wdrożyć odpowiednie leczenie, a nawet zapobiegać chorobie. Celem naszej pracy było przedstawienie problemu, jakim są ostre zespoły wieńcowe, ich następstwa oraz wykazanie, że nasze zdrowie jest zależne od naszego trybu życia.
Acute coronary syndromes is more occurring disease, which is affecting younger people. Mostly this disease is caused by patients, who have wrong lifestyle with a lot of stress, wrong diet and they don’t go to the physician. With medicine progress we can earlier implement right treatment even we can prevent disease. The target of our work was showing the problem which is acute coronary syndromes, their aftermaths and show that our health is dependent from our lifestyle.

Breast cancer has high metastatic potential with distant metastases involving mainly lungs, liver and bones. Less frequently it gives distant spread to other organs. Herein we would like to present a very rare case of an acute cholecystitis which turned out to be a metastatic breast cancer in previously healthy woman. A female patient, 64-years old, presented to the emergency department with symptoms of biliary colic and acute abdomen. During the emergency cholecystectomy, we diagnosed the gallbladder empyema with thickened wall. There were also multiple metastatic nodules in the peritoneal cavity and an excessive amount of free fluid. The emergency physicians diagnosing female patient with the acute abdominal symptoms and a breast cancer history might suspect malignant spread into abdominal organs including gallbladder. On the other hand, acute cholecystitis symptoms might be the first symptoms of metastatic process in the gallbladder from the unknown primary source, which may be breast.

The objective of the study was the evaluation of the frequency of occurrence of acute respiratory infections among rural population from the Lublin Region, and verifi cation of the appropriateness of the use of antibiotics in empirical fi rst-line therapy of these diseases. The analysis covered medical records concerning 1,839 patients selected from 27 rural health centres within the period of one year (1 September 2005–31 August 2006). As many as 656 patient visits were recorded, the reasons for which were qualifi ed by physicians as infections of the upper and lower airways. These disorders were diagnosed in 450 patients, which constituted 24.46% of the population examined. The following diagnoses were most frequently made: acute pharyngitis and tonsillitis (31.25% of the total number of diagnoses), acute upper respiratory infections of multiple and unspecifi ed sites (22.25%), and common cold (21.64%). Antibiotics were used in empirical fi rst-line therapy in as many as 82% of the total number of patients. The analysis showed that in the great majority of cases the use of antibiotics was inappropriate. If this situation persists, in the near future it will lead to an increase in the phenomenon of antibioticoresistance in Poland. In order to prevent this situation, it is necessary to carry out an extensive educational action concerning the hazardous effect of excessive use of antibiotics, both among physicians and the whole society.

Introduction and objective. The article focuses mainly on SARS-CoV-2 neurotropism and its consequences for hearing and otolaryngological disorders. The leading hypotheses regarding the mechanisms of the virus internalisation as well as its influence on the nervous system in extenso are presented, as well as the latest available knowledge, after a selective choice of articles relating to the subject. Brief description of the state of knowledge. Dizziness, tinnitus and sudden hearing loss are the main symptoms in the organ of hearing and balance, but it is often not possibile to objectively investigate their etiology and make a proper diagnosis. Among the most common causes of hearing disorders, such as vestibular neuritis, sudden sensorineural hearing loss and tinnitus, there are infections, injuries, and diseases that predispose to the occurrence of symptoms of hearing disorders. Despite the numerous possible causes, a high percentage of clinical symptoms still remain without diagnosis. Conclusions. The global health crisis has provoked a change in the perspective of thinking about infections and the consequences of viral infections; it haalso given rise to a new perception and conceptualisation of the impact of infections on other human systems. The challenge faced by scientists due to this virus is multi-dimensional, and it requires explication and reinterpretation of the knowledge to-date. It even forces us to retrospect the existing explanations of the known disorders, as well as to conduct prospective correlative studies that will help in understand the mechanisms of SARS-CoV-2 pathogenesis, and consequentl, to be able to establish a management pattern in order to prevent the spread of the virus causing the pandemic.

Introduction: Diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis (DISH), also known as Forestier’s disease, is a noninflammatory disease and is characterized by ossification of the anterolateral aspect of vertebral bodies, mostly in thoracic part of the spine. Although, usually, DISH is asymptomatic, in rare cases osteophytes located in the cervical part of the spine can cause otolaryngological manifestations, such as dysphagia (most common), hoarseness and stridor Case report: In differential diagnosis of upper respiratory tract symptoms, we should consider DISH. We present case of 82-years old male patient with acute dyspnea, who was diagnosed with osteophytes of C4–C7 vertebral bodies. In this case conservative therapy was not efficient, therefore successful surgical treatment was performed. BMI – Body Mass IndexCRP – C Reactive Protein CT – computed tomography DISH – diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis GERD – gastro-esophageal reflux disease MRI – magnetic resonance imaging NSAIDs – nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs ORL PPI – proton pump inhibitors Diffuse idiopathic skeletal hypMRerostosis (DISH), also known as Forestier’s disease, was first described under the name “senile ankylosing hyperostisis of the spine” by Jacques Forestier in 1950 [1]. It is a noninflammatory disease, characterized by ossification of the anterolateral aspect of vertebral bodies, mostly in thoracic part of the spine. It may also involve enthesopathy of the extremities. Forestier’s disease is a rather common condition, which affects approximately 40% of older (>65 years old) male patients. Prevalence of DISH increases with age (56% for age >80 years old), BMI and blood pressure [2] and is associated with diabetes mellitus, elevated insulin-like growth factor and hyperuricemia [3].Although usually DISH is asymptomatic, in rare cases osteophytes located in the cervical part of the spine can cause otolaryngological manifestations, such as dysphagia (most common), hoarseness and stridor [4–10]. null null null null An 82-years old man was admitted to the Department of Otolaryngology due to acute dyspnea with stridor at rest. Respiratory disorder was progressing for 2 months. Moreover, patient complained of dysphagia and hoarseness, which were present for a year. The patient was diagnosed with GERD and treatment was administrated. Medical history was significant of duodenal ulcer with perforation and prostate cancer treated with hormonal therapy for 13 months. Flexible nasopharyngoscopy revealed large mass protruding from the posterior wall of hypopharynx and oedema, which concealed interarytenoid notch and partly rima glottis (Fig. 1.). No other abnormalities in ORL examination were present. Increased CRP level and impaired fasting glucose were found in laboratory tests during hospitalization. CT (Fig. 2.) and MRI (Fig. 3.) revealed massive osteophytes on the anterior part of vertebral bodies C4–C7 without intervertebral disc space narrowing, thickened vestibular folds and peri-arytenoid region. X-ray revealed no changes in sacro-iliac joints. Hypopharyngoscopy and microlaryngoscopy were performed in due to rule out neoplastic changes. Antibiotis, steroids and high doses of PPI (proton pump inhibitors) were administered, resulting in oedema decrease and resolution of the symptoms. After 7 months patient was hospitalized again, due to acute dyspnea and stridor. Increased CRP level was found in laboratory tests. Despite conservative therapy (corticosteroids, antibiotics and PPI) no significant respiratory improvement was achieved, therefore decision on surgical treatment was made. Patient was referred to the Department of Neurosurgery where, after elective tracheotomy, cervical osteophytes (C2–C5) were removed, using an anterolateral transcervical approach, without any complications (Fig. 4.). Because of postoperative laryngeal and hypopharyngeal oedema, steroid therapy was maintained. Decannulation was performed on 7th postoperative day, although patient complained of more severe dysphagia with aspiration while swallowing. Nasogastric feeding tube was inserted for 3 weeks. At the 6-month follow up dyspnea and dysphagia are absent, patient successfully swallows solid food and liquids. Endoscopic examination revealed only small protrusion and minor oedema on posterior wall of hypopharynx on the level of arytenoids (Fig. 5., 6.). null null Forestier’s disease otolaryngological manifestations are extremely rare. The most common symptom is dysphagia, aside from it aspiration [11], dyspnea (with or without stridor) and hoarseness [4].Our patient’s main complaint and reason of hospitalization was dyspnea, while dysphagia was secondary problem. Foregoing symptoms can occur not only due to osteophytes compression on larynx and esophagus, but also because of chronic inflammation and chronic or recurrent edema caused by mechanic irritation. Other symptoms, such as aspiration while swallowing, can be caused by impaired movability of epiglottis or vocal chords [8, 11].In presented case symptoms (especially dyspnoe) were increasing during upper respiratory tract infections and due to exacerbation of GERD.In literature authors described similar cases, where inflammation led to oedema, chronic or remitting during infection, which worsened patient’s condition [12, 13] and caused respiratory decompensation, necessitating even urgent tracheotomy [10].During diagnosis of DISH with otolaryngologic manifestations, mirror laryngoscopy and fiberoscopy should be performed. It can reveal fine, firm protrusion on the posterior wall of pharynx, accompanied by oedema and impaired movability of larynx [8].In differential diagnosis of protrusion on the posterior wall of pharynx we should consider retropharyngeal pathologies, such as malignant tumors (including lymphoma), benign tumors, metastases, congenital defects (e.g. vascular malformations), lymphadenopathy, retropharyngeal abscess or massive oedema. Imaging (CT, MRI) can rule out these diseases [14].Forestier’s disease should also be distinguished from other pathologies, which involve vertebral bodies, including ankylosing spondylitis, osteophytes in osteoarthritis or osteomas [3]. Differential diagnosis can be based on Resnick’s radiological classification criteria of DISH [15]: presence of flowing calcification and ossification along with the anterolateral aspects of at least four contiguous vertebral bodies, relative preservation of intervertebral disc height in the involved vertebral segments and absence of apophyseal joint bony ankylosis and sacro-iliac joint erosion, sclerosis or bony fusion.In cases with dysphagia being the main patient’s complaint, esophagogram with barium swallowing should be performed [5, 9, 11]. Elective panendoscopy with biopsy should always be considered to rule out neoplasm [5, 16].If DISH is diagnosed accidently in imaging, we can assume an expectant attitude. Conservative treatment with NSAIDs, steroids and dietary measures can be introduced in cases without weight loss and with minor respiratory symptoms. Gastroesophageal reflux can be symptom-worsening factor, therefore PPI treatment should be considered. If conservative treatment is not effective, osteophytes’ surgical removal is recommended, preferably using anterolateral approach [16].In our case, conservative therapy was not sufficient. Massive hypopharyngeal oedema and stridor were present in spite of high doses of corticosteroids. Due to the pre-operative oedema we decided to perform an elective tracheotomy before neurosurgical intervention, to avoid possible complications [13].It is remarkable, that after surgery dyspnea resolved after few days, whilst dysphagia and aspiration worsened in post-operative time and nasogastric tube insertion was necessary.Authors present this case in aim to draw attention to Forestier’s disease as possible reason for respiratory and gastrointestinal symptoms among elderly people.

Opis:
Use of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation is increasing continuously as a consequence of continuing progress of medical techniques, allowing implementation of this procedure even in patients where previously it was considered contraindicated. It is successfully used in the treatment of both several hematologic malignancies and other conditions. Still, a major concern remains the development of graft-versus-host disease (GvHD) as a complication of this kind of therapy. Treatment of choice in acute forms of stage II-IV GvHD are steroids (prednisolone, 1-2 mg/kg/d) combined with calcineurin inhibitors (cyclosporine A or tacrolimus). Steroid-resistant patients constitute a considerable therapeutic challenge, as they require enhanced immunosuppression. Standard management of these patients depends on experiences of particular center and usually an individual therapeutic strategy is warranted. No controlled clinical trials are available, documenting a favorable effect on survival of a particular salvage procedure in the setting of a steroid-resistant GvHD. In this situation, the following agents may be used: mycophenolate mofetil, methotrexate, pentostatin, mTOR inhibitors, anti-TNF-α and anti-IL-2 antibodies as well as mono- and polyclonal anti-T-lymphocyte antibodies. Non-pharmacological options include the use of extracorporeal photopheresis and infusion of allogeneic mesenchymal stem cells. In order to improve its effectiveness, salvage therapy should be instituted as quickly as possible, at best during the first 2 weeks after diagnosis of GvHD. Nevertheless, overall effectiveness and toxicity of most therapeutic modalities are far from satisfactory. Current research focuses on regulatory T-lymphocytes and small molecules affecting signal transmission between antigen-presenting cells and effector cells.
Zastosowanie przeszczepiania alogenicznych komórek macierzystych krwiotworzenia stale wzrasta z uwagi na stały postęp technik medycznych, pozwalających na kwalifikację do wykonania tej procedury u chorych, którzy uprzednio mieli do niej przeciwwskazania. Jest ona z powodzeniem stosowana w leczeniu wielu nowotworów hematologicznych oraz innych schorzeń. Nadal poważnym problemem pozostaje rozwój choroby przeszczep przeciwko gospodarzowi (GvHD) jako powikłanie użycia tej formy terapii. Leczeniem z wyboru ostrej postaci GvHD w stopniu II-IV są glikokortykoidy (prednizolon) w dawce 1-2 mg/kg/dziennie, w połączeniu z inhibitorami kalcyneuryny (cyklosporyna A lub takrolimus). Chorzy stery-dooporni stanowią bardzo poważny problem terapeutyczny, wymagają bowiem nasilenia immunosupresji. Standard postępowania u tych pacjentów zależy od doświadczeń ośrodka leczącego i zazwyczaj obowiązuje indywidualne podejście do chorego. Brakuje kontrolowanych badań klinicznych udowadniających wpływ na przeżycie konkretnego postępowania ratunkowego w leczeniu sterydoopornej ostrej GvHD. Można zastosować w tej sytuacji: kwas mykofenolowy, metotreksat, cyklofosfamid, pentostatynę, inhibitory mTOR, przeciwciała przeciwko TNF-a czy IL-2 oraz mono- i poliklonalne przeciwciała skierowane przeciwko limfocytom T. Opcje niefarmakologiczne obejmują użycie zewnątrzustrojowej fotote-rapii czy alogenicznych mezenchymalnych komórek macierzystych. W celu poprawy jego skuteczności leczenie ratunkowe w przypadku stwierdzenia sterydooporności powinno być zastosowane jak najszybciej, najlepiej w ciągu 2 tygodni od rozpoznania GvHD. Niemniej jednak ogólna skuteczność i toksyczność większości podejść terapeutycznych są niezadowalające. Przyszłość to zastosowanie regulatorowych limfocytów T czy użycie małych cząsteczek wpływających na przekazywanie sygnału pomiędzy komórkami prezentującymi antygen a komórkami efektorowymi.

Opis:
Patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) due to old age and comorbidities are at a higher risk of SARS-CoV-2 infection. These patients should protect themselves by limiting contact with other people to an absolute minimum and they should be educated about hygiene, including careful hand washing. In general, the principles of antiarrhythmic drug treatment of quarantined, infected and asymptomatic individuals remain unchanged. In the hospital setting it is important to remember about possible interactions between antibiotics, anticoagulants, antiarrhythmic, antiviral and antimalarial drugs. The current pandemic also led to limitations regarding the implantation and control of implantable devices to an absolute minimum.

Opis:
BACKGROUND: The Coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19) primarily affects respiratory system leading to acute hypoxemic respiratory failure. Invasive mechanical ventilation has been a gold standard in the respiratory therapy of patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). It requires advanced ventilators, qualified intensivists and trained intensive care unit (ICU) staff to manage, which is not readily available and of which there has been a perpetual shortage during the current pandemic. Non-invasive ventilation (NIV) is one of the bridging non-invasive respiratory supports to avoid invasive intubation intended to improve oxygenation and ventilation in severe COVID-19 patients where conventional oxygen therapy fails. CASE: The authors report a series of four cases where prolonged NIV was used under expert supervision in patients with severe COVID-19 disease. CONCLUSIONS: This case series showed that NIV can be prolonged successfully under supervision in severe COVID-19 patients that can avoid intubation and its complications.

Opis:
Choroba Zalewu Wiślanego (Haff disease) jest zespołem objawów spowodowanych rabdomiolizą rozwiniętą po spożyciu niektórych gatunków ryb i skorupiaków. Patofizjologia choroby pozostaje nieznana. Jej ogniska epidemiczne były do tej pory odnotowywane w wielu regionach świata. W niniejszym artykule przedstawiono przypadek 38-letniego pacjenta, zawodowego rybaka, u którego wysunięto podejrzenie choroby Zalewu Wiślanego. Jako objawy chory podawał rozlane bóle mięśniowe, ból głowy, uczucie ucisku w klatce piersiowej, ciemne zabarwienie moczu oraz podwyższone wartości ciśnienia tętniczego. Dominującymi nieprawidłowościami w badaniach laboratoryjnych były podwyższone stężenia kinazy kreatynowej oraz kreatyniny w surowicy krwi. W trakcie hospitalizacji pacjent wymagał leczenia nerkozastępczego. W wyniku zastosowanego postępowania uzyskano poprawę kliniczną oraz laboratoryjną. Pacjenta wypisano do domu w stanie ogólnym dobrym. Choroba Zalewu Wiślanego powinna być uwzględniana w diagnostyce różnicowej rabdomiolizy. Kluczowe w postawieniu prawidłowej diagnozy jest szczegółowe badanie podmiotowe, a przede wszystkim istotne są pytania o ostatnio spożywane pokarmy oraz narażenie zawodowe. Med. Pr. 2021;72(5):605–610
Haff disease is a group of symptoms caused by rhabdomyolysis following ingestion of some species of fish and crayfish. Pathophysiology remains unknown. Outbreaks of the Haff disease have been reported in many regions of the world. In this article we present the case of a 38-years-old patient, professional fisherman, suspected of suffering from Haff disease. He developed symptoms of diffuse myalgia, headache, chest pressure, brown-colored urine and elevated blood pressure. Predominant laboratory abnormalities were elevated serum creatine kinase and creatinine concentrations. During hospitalization the patient required the renal replacement therapy. As a result of applied procedures, clinical and laboratory improvement was achieved. The patient was discharged home in good general condition. The Haff disease should be included in the differential diagnosis of rhabdomyolysis. Detailed medical interview, especially questions about recently consumed food and occupational exposure, is crucial in making a proper diagnosis. Med Pr. 2021;72(5):605–10

Opis:
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a syndrome defined by acute increase of serum creatinine or decrease in glomerular filtration rate (GFR). AKI is common in patients undergoing cardiac surgery, imaging modalities and endovascular procedures with using iodinated contrast, those who suffer from sepsis and other critically ill patients. Serum creatinine, the current main diagnostic test for AKI, rises late in AKI pathophysiology and is not precise marker of acute changes in glomerular filtration rate. The serum creatinine measurements are confounded by a large number of variables, including age, gender, race, muscle mass, muscle metabolism, hydration status and medications. New studies presented laboratory markers of AKI detected in serum and urine. These include cystatin C, NGAL, KIM-1, L- FABP, IL-18 and others. These new biomarkers offer promise for early AKI diagnosis and for the depiction of severity of renal injury occurring with AKI. They can reflect the progression of AKI to chronic kidney disease (CKD). The aim of this article is to review specific biomarkers for early detection of AKI and progression to CKD.
Ostre uszkodzenie nerek (acute kidney injury, AKI) jest rozpoznawane w oparciu o stężenie kreatyniny w surowicy i upośledzenie filtracji kłębuszkowej (glomerular filtration rate, GFR). AKI, które zastąpiło w ostatnich latach termin ostra niewydolność nerek, jest rozpoznawane między innymi u pacjentów po operacjach kardiochirurgicznych, w wyniku nefrotoksycznego uszkodzenia radiokontrastem podczas zabiegów naczyniowych i badań obrazowych, u pacjentów oddziałów intensywnej terapii, we wstrząsie septycznym. Stężenie surowiczej kreatyniny jest ciągle głównym testem diagnostycznym, chociaż zmienia się w przebiegu AKI później niż GFR, który stanowi dokładniejszy wskaźnik czynności nerek. Użyteczność stężenia kreatyniny jako obiektywnego parametru jest jednak ograniczona, ponieważ zależy ono od wielu czynników, w tym od stopnia nawodnienia, diety, masy ciała, masy mięśniowej, wieku, płci, stosowanych leków. Nowe badania zaprezentowały inne, bardziej użyteczne laboratoryjne markery AKI, możliwe do oznaczenia w surowicy i/lub w moczu. Należą do nich m.in. cystatyna C, NGAL, KIM-1, L-FABP i IL-18. Nowe biomarkery stwarzają większe możliwości we wczesnym wykrywaniu AKI, a także mogą określać stopień uszkodzenia nerek w przebiegu AKI. Mogą być również przydatne w prognozowaniu zagrożenia przewlekłą chorobą nerek (PChN) w wyniku AKI lub z innych przyczyn. Celem opracowania jest przedstawienie przeglądu aktualnych doniesień dotyczących zastosowania nowych biomarkerów we wczesnym wykrywaniu AKI oraz progresji do PChN.

Portable hyperbaric chambers are a therapeutic option for altitude disease in the mountains. By an increase of the oxygen partial pressure the patient’s symptoms ameliorate significantly. Portable hyperbaric chambers may be used as ‘stand alone therapy’ as well as in combination with other therapeutic options. Here we present the recommendation how to use the device and how to avoid problems. The recommendation has been agreed by all members of the medical commission of the world umbrella organization Union Internationale des Associations d’Alpinisme (UIAA MedCom).

Opis:
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a rare disease of the central nervous system in the patients at developmental age. The onset of MS occurring in childhood constitutes less than 10% of the cases. The majority of data originating from the publications concerns the clinical course and laboratory investigations. At present not much is known about the sufficient competence in the histopathological findings, immunopathogenesis and genetic factors in the aforementioned age group. The suitable diagnostic criteria for the paediatric MS have not been defined yet, but many attempts have been made. At present McDonald’s criteria are obligatory, but they are less specific and sensitive for the children. To distinguish acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (ADEM) from the first attack of MS is still a challenging problem. In the differential diagnosis of paediatric MS it should be also taken into account: borreliosis, vasculitis, mitochondrial and metabolic disorders. Paediatric MS is associated with a more favourable course compared to adult MS, however, children can become disabled at a younger age. The relapsing-remitting course in paediatric MS concerns about 90% cases. The primary progressive course occurs rarely. The application of immunomodulatory therapies for children have been recommended, but still there is a lack of prospective investigations and long-term observations. Tolerability and efficacy of interferon β and glatiramer acetate appear to be similar to those observed at adults. In this paper we present the individualities of the childhood MS based on the literature available over the past decade. In particular, the authors present the symptoms, diagnostic and therapeutic difficulties of paediatric MS.
Stwardnienie rozsiane (łac. sclerosis multiplex, SM) należy do rzadkich chorób ośrodkowego układu nerwowego w wieku rozwojowym. SM o początku w dzieciństwie stanowi mniej niż 10% przypadków. Najwięcej danych z piśmiennictwa dotyczy przebiegu klinicznego i badań laboratoryjnych. Do tej pory niewiele wiadomo o obrazie histopatologicznym, immunopatogenezie i czynnikach genetycznych w tej grupie wiekowej. Podejmowane są próby stworzenia odpowiednich kryteriów rozpoznania SM wieku rozwojowego. Obecnie obowiązują kryteria McDonalda w modyfikacji Polmana z 2005 roku, jednak w przypadku dzieci są one mniej czułe i specyficzne. Wyzwaniem nadal pozostaje różnicowanie ostrego rozsianego zapalenia mózgu i rdzenia (acute disseminated encephalomyelitis, ADEM) z pierwszym rzutem SM. W diagnostyce różnicowej SM u dzieci należy również uwzględnić neuroboreliozę, zapalenia naczyń, choroby mitochondrialne i metaboliczne. Dziecięce SM jest związane z łagodniejszym przebiegiem w porównaniu z dorosłymi, jednak najmłodsi osiągają niepełnosprawność we wcześniejszym wieku. Przebieg remitująco-rzutowy u dzieci dotyczy około 90% przypadków, a przebieg pierwotnie postępujący występuje znacznie rzadziej niż u dorosłych. U dzieci zaleca się stosowanie leków immunomodulacyjnych, niemniej brak jest badań prospektywnych i obserwacji długoterminowych. Tolerancja i skuteczność interferonów β oraz octanu glatirameru wydają się podobne do obserwowanych u dorosłych. W niniejszym artykule przedstawiono odrębności dziecięcego SM zebrane na podstawie publikacji z ostatniego dziesięciolecia. Autorzy opisują przede wszystkim objawy oraz trudności diagnostyczne i terapeutyczne.
