Opis:
This article aims to present the overview of the situation during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic about issues concerning the prevalence of mental disorders such as depression, anxiety, rate of suicide attempts, and long COVID (LC) infections in the general population during COVID-19 pandemic. Analysis of the literature (in English, Polish and Spanish language) on topics related to COVID-19, mental disorders (suicide attempts, depression, anxiety) and LC infection published during the 4 years (2020–2023) was done using Pubmed and PubMed Central search engine. Keywords such as “COVID-19,” “mental disorders,” “long COVID infection,” “depression,” “anxiety,” “suicide attempts” were used during the search. The conduct of this review/comment followed the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses (PRISMA) protocol, which corresponds to a checklist of 27 items designed to facilitate the development and reporting of a robust protocol for systematic reviews or meta-analyses. Overall 35 studies were selected and analyzed in the review on topics: including among others LC (14 studies), suicide attempts (7 studies), mental disorders (depression, anxiety) (14 studies). The main issues raised in the articles were: higher risk of LC symptoms in women, fatigue and brain fog listed as frequently encountered patient’s complaints together with anxiety, depression, loneliness, especially in younger age groups and in women. Issues regarding LC, mental disorders and suicide attempts requires further research as the results vary in different countries.

Opis:
The objective of the article is to present the influence of COVID-19 on international and long distance passenger rail transport in Italy and Poland. Despite differences in the development of the pandemic the decision to put limits on long-distance rail services was taken in both countries at the very same time. On 23 March 2020 the last large-scale cancellations so far were introduced both in Italy and Poland. The entire rail transport in the two countries has been stopped to a very large extent. The only remaining international trains in Italy and Poland are cross-border regional trains operated by some railway companies from the neighbouring countries – France and Switzerland in the case of Italy and Germany in the case of Poland. As far as long-distance rail traffic is concerned, in Italy over 90% of all trains of this kind have been cancelled whereas in Poland the figure is 43%. A similar characteristic is the fact that almost all prestigious high speed trains have been cancelled. This is probably connected with the fact that their main target are business trips which in the time of pandemic have come almost to a complete stop.

SUMMARY The purpose of this study was to determine the quality of life of a patient with persistent complications of SARS-CoV-2 infection requiring urgens surgical intervention – endarterectomy with emergency angioplasty of an inflamed, bleeding Right Internal Carotid Artery (RICA) by direct access via Right Common Carotid Artery (RCCA), known as Transcarotid Artery Revascularization (TCAR). A patient in her 60s was infected with the SARS-CoV-2 virus and contracted COVID-19 in March 2022, as confirmed by RT PCR antigen test. The infection was followed by short- and long-term complications, many of which can be linked to COVID. These include significant weakness persisting for months after the illness, rapid weight loss of 25 kg, sleep disturbances, chronic fatigue, severe dizziness, onset of diabetes, decrease dimmunity with increased periodontal inflammation (including formation of a periapical abscess of a molar tooth) and secondary suppuration of the submandibular lymphnodes, one of which lying jacent to the right internal carotidartery (RICA). This accumulation of symptoms led the patient to seek medical and neuropsychological help. Test ingusing the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) confirmed depression, with vegetative disorders being the most predominant. Eight months after undergoing COVID-19, the patient suffered a Transient Ischemic Attack (TIA). The accumulation of diseases (diabetes mellitus, stage III hypertension and TIA) had a dramatic impact on the patient's health, including life-threatening conditions.A vascular surgeon consulted the patient advised immediate surgical treatment: carotid endarterectomy. The urgency of the situation was exacerbated by bleeding during the operation from the operated, secondarily inflamed wall of the RICA (lying adjacent to the suppurated submandibular node). This prompted an emergency decision for an endovascular procedure: the implantation of a stent covered with water-proof material (peripheral stent graft). This was made by a direct access via puncture of the common carotid artery (RCCA) below the endarterectomy level (TCAR). The SF-36 questionnaire was chosen to measure health-related quality of life (HRQOL).The SF-36 results are presented in such a way that higher scores correspond to fewer complaints, indicating better health and higher quality of life. Before revascularization, the patient's HRQOL was found to be lower, which was related to the negative impact of long COVID, while after the procedure, the quality of life gradually improved in subsequent surveys. A significant difference was found in physical function, with a mean score of 66.0 (p<0.001) compared to a score of 94.9 (±9.4) for 100 age-matched health subjects. A similar result was found in the physical role (p < 0.001). The patient's overall quality of life score was 331.0 compared to a score of 578.0 (±111.9) for age-matched normal healthy people. Better quality of life in patients with long COVID is an important therapeutic goal that can be achieved through comprehensive, multispecialty treatment for both physical and psychological conditions.

Celem niniejszego artykułu jest przedstawienie zmian, które zaistniały na rynku kolejowych przewozów pasażerskich w pierwszym roku pandemii COVID-19 wywołanej SARS-CoV-2. Zwrócono szczególną uwagę na pasażerski transport kolejowy w Polsce. Przedstawiono dwa segmenty przewozów pasażerskich: regionalny – reprezentowany przez Spółkę POLREGIO działającą na terenie kraju i dalekobieżny – reprezentowany przez PKP Intercity. Analiza danych wskazuje, że niezależnie od zajmowanego segmentu, 2020 rok charakteryzował się znacznymi spadkami przewozów, które w kwietniu i maju osiągnęły najniższy poziom, a wyniki fi nansowe Spółki PKP Intercity uległy pogorszeniu w stosunku do lat ubiegłych, jednak udział Spółki POLREGIO w rynku pasażerskich przewozów pasażerskich zwiększył się. Na potrzeby artykułu dokonano kwerendy literatury i dostępnych źródeł oraz wykorzystano metody analizy i syntezy. Tekst publikacji wzbogacono rysunkami.

Opis:
The purpose of this article is to present the changes that took place on the market of passenger transport by rail in the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic caused by SARS-CoV-2. Particular attention has been paid to the railway passenger transport in Poland. Two segments of this transport sector are presented: regional (represented by the POLREGIO company) and long-distance (represented by the PKP Intercity company). An analysis of the available data shows that irrespective of the segment, the year 2020 was characterized by significant reductions in terms of transport, which reached the lowest volumes in April and May, and the financial results of PKP Intercity were worse than in previous years; however, the share of POLREGIO in the market of passenger transport by rail increased. For the purpose of the article, literature and other available sources have been researched and analytical and synthetic methods have been applied. In addition to text, drawings are included.

Opis:
Nearly two years into the pandemic, a large body of data has emerged on how COVID-19-positive patients function with the viral infection. It is now known that the virus targets the central nervous system(CNS). As a result, in addition to the expected common health complaints, patients display cognitive and emotional problems. Cognitive deficits should be expected particularly in patients who have arrived at an intensive care unit as a result of respiratory failure, in patients suffering from comorbid neurodegenerative diseases and respiratory conditions, as well as in the elderly. However, these may also occur in patients with moderate to mild symptoms as well as in those of a younger age. The cognitive impairment has an unknown profile. Given the hypothesised hippocampal vulnerability to the SARS-CoV-2 virus, one might expect particular difficulties with memory, attention, information processing, and executive functions. With varying neuropsychological and emotional problems, convalescents in trying to return to their social, family and professional life require professional psychological assistance. The role of neuropsychologists is here crucial. Indeed, many patients will require a detailed, multifaceted neuropsychological diagnosis that will form the basis for subsequent neuropsychological rehabilitation. An early detection of neuropsychological manifestations could modify the risk of subsequent irreversible impairment and further neurocognitive decline.

Opis:
Aim: The paper measures the impact of negative interest rates on listed firms in the original euro zone countries. It also measures the impact of the first COVID-19 year. Design / research methods: The paper uses panel data to measure the influence of the short-term ECB deposit rate and the 10-years German bond yield on short-term and long-term firm variables. Cross section fixed effects are applied to first differences and dummy variables. For liquidity and non-liquid assets the effects are also measured for small and large companies, for sectors, and for countries. Conclusions / findings: Corporate liquidity ratios and creditor ratios decline when short-term ECB-rates fall. If ECB rates are negative, liquidity ratios are further reduced by 0.6 percentage points. Declining long-term German government bond yields increase non-liquid assets, while negative yields boost these assets by 4.5% extra. In the first COVID-19 year, the investments in non-liquid assets were 7.6% smaller, while liquidity ratios increased by 2.3 percentage points. Originality / value of the article: Papers on the influence of negative interest rates and of COVID-19 on European firms are unavailable. This makes the paper relevant for firm managers and policy makers and a benchmark for future research. Implications of the research: Because the issues addressed are new, further research is valuable. One may think of comparable studies for different countries. Many other suggestions for further research are given in the conclusions.

Objectives The aim of the study was to analyze the long-term burnout levels of healthcare professionals (HCPs) working in Slovenian nursing homes during the fifth wave of the pandemic; to compare the results of similar facilities in 2020 and 2013; and to examine the correlation between demographics and burnout and fatigue among HCPs. Material and methods The study used a descriptive, correlational cross-sectional method. Results In the fifth wave, HCPs suffered more from emotional exhaustion, depersonalization and lack of personal accomplishment than in the first wave of the pandemic and in the spring of 2013. The HCPs caring for COVID-19 patients and younger women had higher rates of burnout and fatigue than other occupational groups. There is a strong positive correlation between burnout and fatigue. Conclusions There is an urgent need to address the problem of fatigue and burnout with administrative measures.

Introduction and aim. Long-term outcomes of COVID-19 pose a global challenge, particularly impacting individuals with underlying health conditions, including those who have undergone hemodialysis (HD). The study aimed to investigate the relationship between preexisting dialysis dose, measured by single pool Kt/V (spKt/V), and long-term outcomes of COVID-19 in patients undergoing HD. Material and methods. Demographic, clinical, and laboratory parameters following COVID-19 recovery, and long-term outcomes, including the presence of COVID-19 sequelae, hospitalization, and all-cause mortality during a year after COVID-19 were retrospectively analyzed. Results. Out of the 195 patients included, there were 108 males (55.4%) and 87 females (44.6%), with a median age of 56 (44-63) years and a dialysis duration of 49 (31.3–85.2) months. Patients with spKt/V<1.4 had a significantly increased risk of long-term COVID-19 sequelae (HR 9.1, 95% CI: 3.4; 24.6), hospitalization (HR 7.6, 95% CI: 3.9; 14.6), and all-cause mortality (HR 8.5, 95% CI: 2.9; 25.8) within one year after COVID-19 recovery compared with those with spKt/V≥1.4. spKt/V cutoff point of ≤1.3 emerged as a significant risk factor for one-year hospitalization and mortality within our cohort. Conclusion. Suboptimal dialysis dose, as indicated by spKt/V < 1.4, is associated with adverse long-term COVID-19 outcomes in patients undergoing HD. Optimizing dialysis adequacy may mitigate these risks. Further research is needed to validate these findings and explore interventions to improve outcomes in this vulnerable population.

Opis:
Pandemia COVID-19 nie wpłynęła w istotny sposób na wzrost bezrobocia, w tym na zmianę struktury bezrobocia długotrwałego. Bezrobocie długotrwałe rośnie z pewnym opóźnieniem po recesji. W prezentowanym artykule dokonano analizy zmian sytuacji osób długotrwale bezrobotnych w Polsce przed i w czasie pandemii COVID-2019. Przedstawiono działania podejmowane w tym czasie przez służby zatrudnienia i służby społeczne oraz przedstawiono rekomendacje na przyszłość uwzględniające informacje zebrane od pracowników powiatowych urzędów pracy. W warunkach polskich powodem utrzymywania się relatywnie wysokiego poziomu bezrobocia długotrwałego w ogóle mogą być takie czynniki, jak: rejestrowanie w urzędach pracy osób, które głownie z powodów zdrowotnych nie są gotowe uczestniczyć w procesach przywracających zdolność do pracy, ograniczona ilość środków przeznaczana na działania aktywizacyjne bezrobotnych i wreszcie brak mechanizmów premiujących publiczne służby zatrudnienia (PSZ) za przywracanie rynkowi pracy osób długotrwale bezrobotnych.
The COVID-19 pandemic has not significantly affected the increase in unemployment, including the change in the structure of long-term unemployment. Long-term unemployment increases with some delay after the recession. This article analyses the changes in the situation of long-term unemployed people in Poland before and during the COVID-2019 pandemic, presents actions taken at that time by employment and social services, and presents recommendations for the future, considering information collected from employees of poviat labour offices. In Poland, the reasons for the persistence of a relatively high level of long-term unemployment in general may include the following factors registration in labour offices of people who, mainly for health reasons, are not ready to participate in processes of restoring the ability to work, a limited amount of funds allocated to activation of the unemployed activities and, finally, the lack of mechanisms rewarding the public employment services (PES) for bringing the long-term unemployed back to the labour market.

Long-COVID (długo utrzymujący się COVID-19) lub post-COVID syndrome (PCS) to dolegliwości związane z infekcją wirusem SARS‑ CoV‑2 utrzymujące się >4 tygodni od wystąpienia pierwszych objawów. Celem niniejszego przeglądu narracyjnego była odpowiedź na pytanie, jaka jest skala występowania 3 często manifestujących się w long-COVID objawów, tj. przewlekłego zmęczenia, duszności i kaszlu, oraz czy takie choroby współistniejące jak cukrzyca i nadciśnienie tętnicze zwiększają ryzyko powikłań po przebytej infekcji SARS‑ CoV‑2. W pracy zastosowano metodę przeglądu narracyjnego. Artykuły dotyczące występowania objawów long-COVID-19 wyszukano w bazie PubMed (31 maja 2021 r.). Wyłączono badania, w których okres obserwacji był <30 dni oraz średnia wieku badanych przekraczała 60. r.ż., oraz te, w których nie podano informacji o zastosowanej metodologii, a w szczególności o sposobie rekrutacji uczestników. Za wysoką częstość występowania cukrzycy przyjęto wartości >10%, a nadciśnienia tętniczego >40%. Za średnią częstość występowania cukrzycy przyjęto wartości <10%, a nadciśnienia tętniczego <40%. Na podstawie powyższych danych można wnioskować, że w okresie >30 dni od wypisu ze szpitala w populacjach obciążonych wysoką częstością cukrzycy i nadciśnienia tętniczego przewlekłe zmęczenie i kaszel występowały częściej niż w pozostałych analizowanych grupach. Najczęściej występującą duszność stwierdzono w populacjach o wysokiej częstości cukrzycy i średniej częstości nadciśnienia tętniczego. Utrzymujące się objawy charakterystyczne dla long-COVID mogą znacząco ograniczać możliwość wykonywania pracy. W tej sytuacji badania kontrolne wykonywane przed powrotem do pracy po długotrwałym zwolnieniu nabierają nowego wymiaru.
”Long-COVID” is described as long-term effects of SARS‑ CoV‑2 infection that last >4 weeks after the acutephase of infection. The aim of this narrative reviews to evaluate the frequency of occurrence of 3 symptoms often observed in Long-COVID, i.e., chronic fatigue, shortness of breath and cough, and whether comorbidities such as diabetes and arterial hypertension increase the risk of complications after a history of SARS‑ CoV‑2 infection. The method of narrative review was used in this paper. PubMed (May 31, 2021) search was performed to retrieve articles concerning the occurrence of long COVID-19 chronic fatigue, dyspnoea and chronic cough. Studies in which the observation period was <30 days and the average age of subjects exceeded 60 years, as well as studies with no information on the methodology used, in particular without the method of recruiting people for the study, were excluded. Populations with a high frequency of diabetes were defined as the prevalence >10%, and in the case of arterial hypertension >40%. The average frequency of diabetes <10%, hypertension 40%. It can be concluded that in the period of >30 days after discharge from the hospital, in populations with a high incidence of diabetes and hypertension, the incidence of chronic fatigue and cough was higher than in the other analyzed groups. Symptoms of dyspnea were most frequently reported in populations with high rates of diabetes, but at the same time in the average percentage of people with arterial hypertension. Persistent symptoms specific to “Long-COVID” can significantly reduce the ability to perform work. In this situation, check-ups performed before returning to work after long-term leave tape on a new dimension.

The purpose of the study was twofold: (1) to present post-COVID-19 syndrome, which involves a variety of ongoing neurological, neuropsychiatric, neurocognitive, emotional and behavioral disorders resulting from SARS-CoV-2 infection followed by a severe course of COVID-19 treated in long term pharmacologically induced coma in a visual artist, which impacted on her artwork; (2) to present QEEG/ERP results and neuropsychological testing results in the evaluation of the effectiveness of a comprehensive neurotherapy program, with individualized EEG-Neurofeedback, and art-therapy in the reduction of post-COVID-19 syndrome in this artist. Ms. G., 42, a visual artist, portraitist, with good health, became ill in May 2022. Allegedly flu symptoms appeared first. After a few days, shortness of breath joined in. The PCR test for SARS-CoV-2 was positive. The patient was hospitalized, referred to the ICU, put on a respirator and treated over 11 days of a pharmacologically induced coma. Two months after leaving hospital the patient developed post-COVID-19 syndrome. She was diagnosed by an interdisciplinary team: a neurologist, neuropsychiatrist and neuropsychologist. A PET scan of her brain revealed extensive changes involving a loss of metabolism in various brain areas. The presence of complex post-COVID, neurological, neuropsychiatric, neurocognitive, emotional and behavioral disorders was found and a neuropsychiatrist suggested a diagnosis of post-COVID schizophrenia. She was refered to the Reintegration and Training Center of the Polish Neuropsychological Society. We tested the working hypothesis as to the presence of schizophrenia and there was no reduction in the difference of ERPs waves under GO/NOGO task conditions. The absence of a neuromarker for schizophrenia allowed us to exclude this diagnosis and to propose a new disease entity, that being post-COVID-19 syndrome. She received a comprehensive two-component program of neurotherapy: (1) program A, consisting in goal-oriented neuropsychological rehabilitation, including art therapy, and (2) program B, based on the most commonly used form of EEG-Neurofeedback: frequency/ power EEG-Neurofeedback, using 2 bipolar surface electrodes, with the protocols written for her specific needs. The comprehensive neurotherapy program lasted 10 weeks, EEG Neurofeedback and art therapy classes were conducted 3 times a week for 45 minutes each. We found that after the completion of the comprehensive neurotherapy program there was a statistically significant reduction in high beta activity compared to the normative HBI database, which is associated with a reduction of anxiety. Also, we observed the improvement of neurocognitive functioning in neuropsychological testing (a significant reduction of anxiety and a noticeable improvement in neurocognitive functions). It should be stressed that the artist was happy that she had regained the ability to create, and even sells her artwork, although her style of painting had changed. Almost all the neurological, psychiatric, neurocognitive, emotional and behavioral disturbances, were reduced in their severity. The artist showed marked improvement and was able to return to painting. The artwork she produced after her illness is in high demand with art collectors. It can be also helpful in the reintegration of the Self System, and the improvement in her quality of life. Human Brain Index (HBI) methodology might be very useful in diagnosing and developing therapies for patients with Post-COVID-19 Syndrome.

Background To evaluate incidence and search for possible predictors of brain fog and quality of life at work (QoL-W) among low-to-moderate risk subjects previously hospitalized due to COVID-19. Material and Methods Participants aged ≥18 retrospectively reported 8 brain fog symptoms pre-COVID-19, at 0–4, 4–12 and >12 weeks post-infection via validated clinical questionnaire. The QoL-W was assessed with a 4-point Likert scale where 0, 1, 2, and 3 meant no, mild, moderate, and severe impairment in performing activities at work, respectively. Data on age, sex, comorbidities, and laboratory results (including first in-hospital high-sensitivity cardiac troponin I [hs-cTnI] measurement) were gathered. Results The study included 181 hospitalized subjects (age Me = 57 years), 37.02% women. Most had low disease severity (Modified Early Warning Score = 1, 77.90%) and low comorbidity (Charlson Comorbidity Index 0: 28.72%, 1–2: 34.09%), with no intensive care unit treatment needed. COVID-19 led to almost 3-fold increased brain fog symptoms, with incidence of 58.56%, 53.59%, and 49.17% within 4, 4–12, and >12 weeks, respectively (p < 0.001). First in-hospital hs-cTnI levels were 47.3% higher in participants who later presented with brain fog at median follow-up of 26.7 weeks since the diagnosis of the SARS-CoV-2 infection. Individuals who experienced at least one brain fog symptom at follow-up, had elevated hs-cTnI, less often presented with atrial fibrillation, and used anticoagulants during initial hospitalization due to COVID-19. The Hs-cTnI >11.90 ng/l predicted brain fog symptoms in multivariable model. COVID-19 was associated with 3.6‑fold, 3.0‑fold, and 2.4-fold QoL-W deterioration within 4, 4–12, and >12 weeks post-infection (p < 0.05). Subjects with QoL-W decline >12 weeks were younger, mostly women, had more brain fog symptoms, and higher platelet counts. Multivariable models with self-reported brain fog symptoms (responding coherently and recalling recent information), age, and sex exhibited good discriminatory power for QoL-W impairment (area under the receiver operating characteristic curve 0.846, 95% CI: 0.780–0.912). Conclusions This study highlighted that in non-high-risk subjects hospitalized during the first 2 pandemic’s waves: 1) brain fog was common, affecting nearly half of individuals, and impacting QoL-W >12 weeks after initial infection, 2) after 3 months of COVID-19 onset, the decline in QoL-W was primarily attributed to brain fog symptoms rather than demographic factors, health conditions, admission status, and laboratory findings, 3) components of brain fog, such as answering in an understandable way or recalling new information increased the likelihood of significantly lower QoL-W up to tenfold, 4) biochemical indicators, such as the first hs-cTnI level, might predict the risk of experiencing brain fog symptoms and indirectly decreased QoL-W >12 weeks after COVID-19 onset. Occupational medicine practitioners should pay particular attention to younger and female subjects after COVID-19 complaining of problems with answering questions in understandable way or recalling new information as they have an increased risk of QoL-W impairment.

Opis:
Background The SARS-CoV-2 virus, causing acute respiratory disease, is responsible for the COVID-19 pandemic, which began in early 2020. In addition to symptoms typical of respiratory tract infections, the virus causes a number of non-specific, often long-lasting effects that hinder the daily functioning of individuals. The aim of the study was a subjective assessment of life quality and health perception among recovered COVID-19 patients. Material and Methods The study included 337 subjects who had been infected with SARS-CoV-2 confirmed by a positive RT-PCR test. The study participants were of legal age. The convalescents completed a questionnaire that contained 26 questions about gender, height, body weight, blood type, general and specific symptoms, comorbidities, hospital stay and duration of specific symptoms, the severity of which was assessed on the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS). The subjects determined whether the COVID-19 infection influenced their health perception and life quality. Results According to 46% of the respondents, COVID-19 had an impact on their quality of life and health. The chance for patients to notice the negative effects of COVID-19 on their current health status and life quality increased with each subsequent symptom of the disease by 49%, with each day of its occurrence by 3%, and with each VAS point of the severity of all infection symptoms by 30%. Conclusions The study shows that COVID-19 disease affects life quality and overall health perception after recovery. Significant impact of COVID-19 on the quality of life should be a signal to create mental support and rehabilitation programs for convalescents to minimize discomfort and shorten the duration of absenteeism from work.
