Opis:
Background: Pet therapy could help individuals improve their emotions; and physical and mental health. It also could be effective in the treatment of pain, anxiety, depression, and fatigue. The aim of this study was to determine the effectiveness of pet therapy, concurrent with common medication on positive, negative, cognitive and motor symptoms of schizophrenia. Methods: This was a randomized control trial. Statistical population of the current study included all patients who were admitted to the Razi Psychiatric Center of Tehran and received a diagnosis of schizophrenia based on a clinical interview and DSM criteria by a psychiatrist. Thirty six patients were recruited using snowball sampling. Members of the experimental group were transported by a bus to that spot at 9 a.m on the planned days, in the company of the researcher and a nurse. Patients gave care of the rabbits (including feeding, tidying their cages, moving their cages) for 24 sessions of 90 minutes, three days per week during autumn 2016. The One-way covariance test was also used to evaluate effects of Pet therapy on positive, negative, cognitive and motor symptoms of schizophrenia. Results: finding indicated that considering scores of pre-test for positive, negative and cognitive symptoms, there is a significant difference between the two controls and experimental groups, respectively, (F = 17.04, p < 0.05), (F = 17.39, p < 0.05), (F = 152.12, p < 0.05). Conclusion: Pet therapy could be successfully applied by parents, psychologists and care givers of these patients. We suggest using pet therapy for treatment of other psychiatric disorders as well and preferably like dogs and cats.

Opis:
This study aimed to evaluate possible health effects associated with long-term occupational exposure to low levels of mercury vapors. Forty-six subjects exposed to mercury and 65 healthy unexposed employees were studied. The subjects were administered a questionnaire on experienced symptoms and underwent clinical examinations as well as routine biochemical tests. Atmospheric and urinary concentrations of mercury were measured, too. Environmental concentrations of mercury were estimated to be 3.97 ± 6.28 μg/m3 and urinary concentrations of mercury in exposed and referent groups were 34.30 ± 26.77 and 10.15 ± 3.82 μg/dm3, respectively. Additionally, symptoms such as somatic fatigue, anorexia, loss of memory, erethism, blurred vision and teeth problems were significantly more common among exposed individuals. These observations indicate that occupational exposure to mercury vapors, even at low levels, is likely to be associated with neurological and psychological symptoms.

ObjectivesComputer workstations are considered a potential workplace hazard. This study sought to evaluate computer workstation ergonomics in a university office environment, and to determine its relationship with musculoskeletal (MS) and visual symptoms reported by employees.Material and MethodsThis was a cross-sectional observational study. A total of 231 university employees were recruited using a stratified random sampling technique. By means of direct observation, computer workstations were evaluated using the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) Ergonomic Computer Workstation Evaluation Checklist. In addition, the participants reported MS and visual symptoms during the past week and 12 months by completing questionnaires.ResultsSeveral ergonomic deficiencies in computer workstations were identified. Seating, working area, and keyboard and input devices had the most documented deficits. A significant proportion of employees reported various MS symptoms during the past 12 months. The most affected body parts were the shoulders (37%), the lower back (34%), and the neck (29%). The most prevalent visual symptom was tired eyes (68%). Logistic regression analysis indicated that MS symptoms, such as ache, pain and discomfort, were significantly associated with the total scores on the OSHA components. Deficits in monitor ergonomics and its placement, particularly the presence of glare reflected on the screen, were also associated with reported visual symptoms. Independent variables, such as gender, age, employment duration, job type, daily computer work hours, and work pattern, reliably predicted the participants’ reported experience of various MS and visual symptoms.ConclusionsBoth MS and visual symptoms are associated with deficits in computer workstation ergonomics. Appropriate strategies, work practices, and preventive measures are needed to eliminate occupational hazards associated with computer workstations.

Opis:
The word autism increasingly appears on the lips of most pedagogues, teachers and parents. Why? This disorder is more and more common today in our environment: at school, in the family. The causes of this disease are not well known yet, but there are more and more methods and ways or means of treatment that allow the child with autism to "function as normal" in the society. It is very important to diagnose and start treatment as soon as it is possible. The following article introduces the theoretical aspects of this disorder, such as the concept or symptoms, which have been thoroughly discussed and summarized in a table form.In this article have been described only some of the possible ways to work with autistic children, such as behavioral therapy, Option Method, Activity Plans, sensory integration method. Each of these methods largely supports the development of a child with autism. The article ends with a summary and the conclusion of the theoretical study.

Objectives To document if manganese from welding causes health effects including neurological symptoms associated with manganese exposure. Material and Methods An anonymous questionnaire survey for a total of 505 welders at 3 welding facilities in Qingdao City, China was administered and analyzed. Results Numerous symptoms were reported by the welders including difficulty with eyes for 43% of them, sore throat for 30% of them, and tremors were reported by over 18% of them. Tremors were associated with longer periods of work as a welder and correlated with the relative cleanliness at the 3 different facilities. Tremors did not correlate with smoking. Conclusions Manganese-exposed welders reported a variety of symptoms related to work and showed neurological disturbances that correlated with amount of exposure.

Opis:
Acute appendicitis (AA) still remains the most common acute surgical abdominal emergency. Although 90% of cases occur in children and young adults, the incidence in the elderly amounts up to 10% and is constantly rising. The aim of the study was to assess the differences between clinical presentation in the elderly patients with AA compared to the younger patients. Additional aim was to assess the correlation between in-hospital time delays and patients’ outcomes. Material and methods. We conducted a retrospective analysis of medical data of 274 patients admitted to 3rd Department of General Surgery in Cracow between January 2011 and December 2013 due to AA. The elderly group comprised 23 patients aged 65 and above and the non-elderly group consisted of 251 patients. Results. The groups did not differ in symptoms and their duration, type of surgery and its duration. However, time from admission to ED to the beginning of the procedure was significantly lower in the elderly group (575.56 vs 858.9 min; p=0.03). The elderly had longer hospital stay (6.08 vs 4.69 days; p=0.004). In the elderly group the perforation rate was close to reaching statistical significance (26.1% vs 12.4%; p=0.06). No mortality was noted in both groups and morbidity was slightly higher in elderly group (17.4% vs 10%; p=0.26). Conclusions. There was no difference in the clinical presentation between elderly and non-elderly patients group. However, elderly patients presented with a more progressed inflammation of the appendix. The hospital stay was longer in the elderly group, without any mortality and with higher rate of morbidity in this group. The length of the preoperative phase was significantly shorter, confirming the awareness of importance of time in the elderly patients with acute abdomen.

Opis:
Appropriate treatment of symptomatic carotid artery stenosis can reduce ischemic cerebral strokes' risk and in some cases eliminate neurological symptoms. Endarterectomy is the most common surgical treatment.The aim of the study was to examine the influence of carotid endarterectomy on neurological symptoms and patients' life quality.Material and methods. The material comprised of 102 patients who underwent endarterectomy. All of the patients were given a questionnaire with a list of neurological symptoms (vertigos, headaches, left hemiparesis, right hemiparesis, numbness, acroparaesthesia, single syncope, recurrent syncopies, diplopia, tinnitus, concentration disturbances and aphasia) and with a numerical life quality scale to fill in before and a year after the surgery.Results. Vertigo, headache, single and recurrent syncopies and aphasia as well as cerebral stroke and amaurosis fugax were significantly more rarely observed after endarterectomy. The mean value of patients' life quality evaluated on a 10-point Likert scale after the surgery increased (3.9 vs 6.3).Conclusions. A year after carotid endarterectomy patients' life quality improves which is connected with neurological symptoms' regression and no further symptoms' occurrence due to a preventive role of the surgery.

The aim of the current study was to determine the relationship between the intensity of symptoms of attention deficit, impulsiveness/hyperactivity, and oppositional or rebellious behaviours among school-age children and the practices undertaken by their parents. The participants were 103 mothers and 69 fathers. They were the parents of 108 children aged between 8–11 years old. In the study the questionnaires were used, among others the Polish version of The Alabama Parenting Questionnaire. The results point to a relationship between the intensity of oppositional or rebellious behaviours and more frequent negative practices implemented by mothers and also less frequent positive parental activities. Among the fathers’ group no such strong trends occurred, although fathers were more likely to use an incoherent discipline and a corporal punishment when the intensity of oppositional or rebellious behaviours of their children increased. Also, a relationship between an incoherent discipline and a weak control performed by mothers, with a higher intensity of attention deficit and impulsiveness/hyperactivity among their children emerged. No such relationship emerged among fathers. In accordance with the previous research, the current results suggest a stronger relationship between the actions taken by parents with the intensity of the oppositional or rebellious behaviours than with the intensity of attention deficit and impulsiveness/hyperactivity symptoms of children.

The aim of this paper was to present how mental symptoms are connected to the use of desktop, portable or minicomputers (communicators and hand-held computers), mobile phones, and background information such as age and gender in the Finnish working-age population. The study was carried out as a cross-sectional study by posting a questionnaire to 15 000 working-age (18–65) Finns. The mental symptoms of 6 121 respondents were analysed using the model factors age, gender, the use of computers and the use of mobile phones. In all data, the use of desktop computers was related to mental symptoms. However, the results of our data are not highly reliable, because the nonresponse rate was over 50%. Nevertheless, it may be essential to take into account in the future that working with computers can increase workers’ mental symptoms, and it is important to observe their mental health.

The objective of the study was analysis of the occurrence and intensity of menopausal symptoms in postmenopausal women from Poland, Belarus, Ukraine, Czech Republic, Slovakia and Poland. The study was conducted during the period 2014–2015 among postmenopausal women living in the areas of Poland, Belarus, Ukraine, Czech Republic and Slovakia. The degree of menopausal complaints was assessed using the Kupperman Menopausal Index and Greene Climacteric Scale. The respondents were additionally asked about age, educational level, place of residence, marital status and age at last menstrual period. Into the study were enrolled women aged 50–65, minimum 2 years after the last menstrual period, who had a generally good state of health and did not use hormone replacement therapy. The results were subjected to statistical analysis. The intensity of all menopausal symptoms measured by the Kupperman Menopausal Index and Greene Climacteric Scale was similar in Poland, Czech Republic and Slovakia. In these countries, severe, moderate and mild menopausal symptoms measured by Kupperman Menopausal Index occurred with a similar frequency. Similar results were also obtained in the subscales of psychological, somatic and vasomotor symptoms according to the Greene Climacteric Scale. Nearly a half of the women from Belarus did not report symptoms measured by Kupperman Menopausal Index. They obtained significantly lower menopausal complaints in the subscales of psychological and somatic symptoms according to the Greene Climacteric Scale, compared to the inhabitants of the remaining countries. The majority of women from the Ukraine had mild menopausal symptoms as measured by the Kupperman Menopausal Index. They had significantly more severe complaints in the subscales of psychological, somatic and vasomotor symptoms according to the Greene Climacteric Scale, compared to the inhabitants of the remaining countries in the study. The intensity of menopausal symptoms in women from Ukraine and Belarus was related with educational level, place of residence, and marital status, whereas in women from Poland, Czech Republic and Slovakia, only with marital status.

Opis:
Introduction: Colorectal cancer is one of the most common cancers occurring in Poland. Unfortunately, this cancer is most often diagnosed at the time of great advancement. This is caused by the appearance of specific symptoms only in the late stages of cancer. Also, such low detection of early stages of adenocarcinoma may be caused by disregarding of slight symptoms. Purpose: To analyse symptoms in patients with colorectal cancer and correlate with chosen clinical-pathological parameters. Materials and methods: The study group consisted of 46 patients diagnosed with colorectal cancer. Information on symptoms associated with cancer (subjective and objective) have been selected from patients' medical history. The presence of these symptoms was correlated with the age and sex of patients, tumor location, histological type of cancer, grade of histological malignancy (G), stage of tumor (T stage), presence of lymph node metastases and distant metastases. Results: It has been shown that the presence of pain complaints described by the patient are associated with the occurrence of cancer in the colon. The painfulness and pathological resistance diagnosed by the physician are more often associated with cancer located in the colon. In the case of tumors located in the rectum, faecal admixtures appear more frequently. It has also been shown that the presence of admixtures of blood and mucus in the stool is associated with more advanced local tumors, infiltrating pericolorectal tissues (T3 + T4). Conclusions: Familiarity with clinical symptoms of colorectal cancer could make patients more sensitive to more often screening for cancer. Analysis of these symptoms could indicate to the physician the location or stage of the cancer.

Na podstawie przeglądu literatury oraz własnych doświadczeń inżynierskich, przedstawiono w pracy aktualny stan wiedzy na temat diagnostyki technicznej obiektów budowlanych. Podano uwarunkowania hamujące diagnostykę techniczną w budownictwie. Pokazano możliwości diagnostyki technicznej obiektów budowlanych, z wykorzystaniem metod właściwych diagnostyce maszyn, diagnostyce maszyn roboczych, procesów. Wykazano potrzebę wprowadzenia symptomów granicznych i alarmowych. Wykazano potrzebę modyfikacji programów nauczania na wydziałach budownictwa wyższych uczelni o naukowe podstawy diagnostyki technicznej. Wskazano, że celowym byłoby wprowadzenie nowego przedmiotu pod nazwą "Diagnostyka techniczna obiektów budowlanych", niezależnie od istniejących rozdrobnionych przedmiotów typu diagnostyka i wzmacnianie konstrukcji stalowych, żelbetowych, drewnianych, kompozytowych czy diagnostyka i wzmacnianie fundamentów.
The present state of knowledge of the subject of technical diagnostics of structures was discussed in the paper. The conditions that impede technical diagnostics, which is an important area of knowledge, were presented. The possibilities of technical diagnostics of structures with the use of the methods useful in diagnostics of machinery and processes were also described. The need of introducing a limit and alarm symptoms was stated. It was shown that it is necessary to extend the civil engineering syllabus to include the scientific bases of technical diagnostics. It was indicated that the new subject could replace diverse subjects such as diagnostics and strengthening of steel, concrete timber and composite structures and diagnostics and strengthening of foundations.

Opis:
Objectives: Evaluation of the correlation between efficiency of working memory and positive and negative symptoms in patients with the first episode of schizophrenia, those who have not been treated so far and those after six weeks’ treatment with antipsychotics. Methods: The study covered 32 patients (20 men and 12 women) aged 18-46 years (22 years on average) with diagnosed first episode of schizophrenia (ICD-10), admitted to hospital, not treated so far. Prior to treatment and after six weeks of antipsychotic treatment (14 – TN and 18 – NAP in typical doses) clinical state (PANSS) and working memory were evaluated (WCST, TMT B, Digit Span backward from Wechsler Intelligence Scale WAIS-R – PL). Conclusions: 1) In previously untreated patients, during severe symptoms of schizophrenia the working memory dysfunction was mostly correlated with the presence of negative symptoms, to a less extent – with the presence of general symptoms. 2) After six weeks of antipsychotic treatment of patients with the first episode of schizophrenia an advantageous change in the working memory functioning and significant change of mental state were observed, expressed by abatement – to a significant extent – of both positive and negative symptoms. 3) The advantageous change in the working memory functioning after six weeks’ treatment of patients with the first episode of schizophrenia was associated with abatement of all groups of pathological symptoms, but it mostly correlated with an improvement within negative symptoms. 4) Finding a strong correlation between the working memory disorders and the presence and severity of negative symptoms before and after pharmacotherapy, whatever its type (TN or NAP), perhaps indicates a similar aetiology of these symptoms (common neuroanatomic basis) and existence of a special subtype of schizophrenia.
Cele: Ocena związku między sprawnością pamięci operacyjnej a objawami pozytywnymi i negatywnymi u pacjentów z pierwszym epizodem schizofrenii, dotychczas nieleczonych oraz po sześciu tygodniach kuracji lekami przeciwpsychotycznymi. Metody: Do badania włączono 32 chorych (20 mężczyzn i 12 kobiet) w wieku 18-46 lat (średnio 22 lata), z rozpoznaniem pierwszego epizodu schizofrenii (ICD-10), przyjętych do szpitala, dotychczas nieleczonych. Przed leczeniem i po sześciu tygodniach leczenia przeciwpsychotycznego (14 – LPIG i 18 – LPIIG w typowych dawkach) oceniono stan kliniczny (PANSS) oraz pamięć operacyjną (WCST, TMT B, Powtarzanie Cyfr wspak z WAIS-R – PL). Wnioski: 1) U chorych wcześniej nieleczonych w okresie ostrych objawów schizofrenii dysfunkcja pamięci operacyjnej miała związek przede wszystkim z obecnością objawów negatywnych, w mniejszym stopniu z obecnością objawów ogólnych. 2) Po sześciu tygodniach leczenia przeciwpsychotycznego pacjentów z pierwszym epizodem schizofrenii stwierdzono korzystną zmianę funkcjonowania pamięci operacyjnej oraz znamienną zmianę stanu psychicznego, wyrażoną ustępowaniem w istotnym stopniu zarówno objawów pozytywnych, jak i negatywnych. 3) Pozytywna zmiana funkcjonowania pamięci operacyjnej po sześciu tygodniach leczenia chorych z pierwszym epizodem schizofrenii wiązała się z wycofywaniem się wszystkich grup objawów choroby, lecz w największym stopniu korelowała z poprawą w zakresie objawów negatywnych. 4) Stwierdzenie silnego związku między zaburzeniami pamięci operacyjnej a obecnością i nasileniem objawów negatywnych przed farmakoterapią i po niej, niezależnie od jej rodzaju (KN lub LPIIG), wskazuje być może na podobną etiologię tych objawów (wspólne podłoże neuroanatomiczne) oraz istnienie szczególnego podtypu schizofrenii.

Travel to developing countries is associated with possibility to acquire different, also parasitic, diseases which have become a diagnostic and therapeutic problem. The ENT specialist is one of the medical officers who may make initial contact with a patient with a suspected parasitic disease. One of them is leishmaniosis: a parasitic disease classified as Neglected Tropical Diseases (NTD), which occurs in the tropics, subtropics and southern Europe. While asymptomatic invasion is observed in some cases, three forms of symptomatic leishmaniosis can be distinguished: cutaneous leishmaniosis (CL), visceral leishmaniosis (VL), and mucosal leishmaniosis (ML). Signs and symptoms of these forms, as well as the differential diagnosis, diagnostic procedures and treatment are presented in the paper.

Opis:
Preliminary study of the total dust exposure in the textile industry of Semarang city is 233 μg/Nm3, which exceeds the quality standard. The high concentration of dust is influenced by increased productivity, so that it has the potential as a source of pollutants that can affect the respiratory system of workers. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between dust exposure and respiratory disorders symptoms in workers. The method used is a cross-sectional study with a sample size of 161 people and 6 points of dust measurement locations. The Modified Medical Research Council (MMRC) standardized questionnaire was used to collect data. The data were analyzed using the SPSS 24 with Chi square and Binary logistic regression tests to determine the relationship. The results showed that the average dust concentration exceeded the quality standard, namely 4 location points for PM2.5, 1 location point for PM10, and 2 location points for total dust. The average exposure to respirable dust is 3.93 μg/m3, which exceeds the quality standard. A total of 57% of workers experienced symptoms of respiratory disorders with the results of bivariate statistical analysis of 5 significant variables, namely PM2.5 (p = 0.021), PM10 (p = 0.002), total dust (p = 0.000), respirable dust (p = 0.002), and working period (p = 0.037). Meanwhile, the results of the binary logistic regression test had 2 significant variables, namely total dust (p = 0.000) and respirable dust (p = 0.006). The conclusion of this study is that total dust and respirable dust that exceed the quality standard have a higher risk of causing respiratory disorders symptoms with a probability of 71.6% and dust may be minimized by adding a pneumablo to each machine.

Objectives Many facts indicate the important role of psychosomatic symptoms that occur due to traumatic events. This study is an analysis of the coexistence of psychosomatic symptoms and traumatic events. Though not every person taking part in these events develops a fully symptomatic post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), psychosomatic symptoms with a strong psychological component are observed in many. This study focuses on a comparison of the intensity of somatization, anxiety, depression, and distress of medical university students, who encountered a traumatic event and those who have not experienced trauma. Material and Methods The data was collected from 594 students of different academic majors at the Poznan University of Medical Sciences, Poland. The participants were asked if they had experienced situations that caused psychological trauma as well as about the intensity of their psychosomatic symptoms. The data was collected with 2 questionnaires: Post-traumatic Stress Diagnostic Scale and Four-Dimensional Symptom Questionnaire. Results The study reveals that 78% of students experienced a traumatic event, in 15% moderate and severe symptoms of PTSD are observed, 45% presents average and high stress levels, 23% experiences symptoms of depression, whereas 30% has anxiety and 26% somatic symptoms. Conclusions Studies show that experiencing traumatic events in life is linked to the higher intensity of an/the entire range of psychosomatic symptoms.

The aim of our work was to study the physical symptoms of upper- and lower-level white-collar workers using a questionnaire. The study was cross-sectional with a questionnaire posted to 15 000 working-age persons. The responses (6121) included 970 upper- and 1150 lower-level white-collar workers. In the upper - and lower-level white-collar worker groups, 45.7 and 56.0%, respectively, had experienced pain, numbness and aches in the neck either pretty often or more frequently. When comparing daily computer users and nonusers, there were significant differences in pain, numbness and aches in the neck or in the shoulders. In addition, age and gender influenced some physical symptoms. In the future, it is essential to take into account that working with computers can be especially associated with physical symptoms in the neck and in the shoulders when workers use computers daily.

This paper presents the use of new technical equipment by young adults (30 years old or younger), and the physical symptoms they have. The paper then analyses how the symptoms are associated with the use of computers and mobile phones, taking into account the background information. The study is based on a survey of 15 000 working-age (18–65) Finns. The responses (1563) covering young adults’ physical symptoms were analysed. Altogether 53.3% of all young adults had pretty often or more frequently pain, numbness or aches in the neck and 32.2% had aches in the hip and lower back. Women experienced more pain, numbness or aches in the neck (65.0%) than men (34.5%). The use of different computers at leisure quite often had an association with some symptoms in different parts of the body. In addition, exhaustion at work had associations with some physical symptoms. In the future, it is essential to note ergonomic reasons and exhaustion at work when young adults experience pain, numbness or aches.

Background: The changes that occur in a woman’s body during the perimenopausal period may influence feelings of attractiveness and perception of status in an intimate relationship, which may play a role in overall sexual satisfaction. Aim of the study: The present study aimed to analyze the influence of selected perimenopausal symptoms on the perception of satisfaction with sexual life in urban and rural women. Material and methods: This study included 224 women from urban areas and 106 women from rural areas who were using general practice services. Inclusion criteria were women who had not menstruated for 2–5 years. The measures used were the Menopause Rating Scale (MRS) and the Sexual Quality of Life-Female questionnaire (SQoL-F). Spearman’s rank correlation coefficient was used to assess the relationship between the severity of perimenopausal symptoms and satisfaction with sexual life. Results: A greater proportion of urban women reported symptoms in the perimenopausal period than rural women. Statistically significant correlations were observed for irritability (P = 0.03) and sexual problems (P = 0.01). However, rural women reported a greater degree of symptom severity. There was a statistically significant difference in severity of somatic and psychological symptoms between urban and rural women. In urban women, the average score for general satisfaction with their sexual life was 62 ± 19.96, whereas the average score for rural women was slightly less, 59 ± 23.56. A statistically significant inverse relationship was observed between the severity of perimenopausal symptoms and quality of sexual life, with values of Spearman’s rank correlation coefficients ranging from −0.490 to −0.064. Conclusions: Urban or rural residence had a slight influence on the frequency and severity of perimenopausal symptoms, and severity of symptoms had a significant influence on women’s satisfaction with their sexual life.

Zaprezentowane badania koncentrują się na poszukiwaniu najefektywniejszych metod przetwarzania sygnałów pomiarowych wielkości procesowych w celu ustalenia optymalnego zestawu ich cech stanowiących symptomy stanu procesu szlifowania wgłębnego. Wykorzystano pomiary emisji akustycznej, drgań i składowych siły szlifowania uzyskane w wyniku przeprowadzonych badań doświadczalnych. Stan i wyniki procesu dla każdej próby szlifowania zostały także określone poprzez pomiary parametrów topografii CPS oraz chropowatości i falistości przedmiotu po każdej próbie szlifowania. Otrzymane wyniki mogą być zastosowane do budowy modeli stanu ściernicy i procesu szlifowania oraz pozwalają na ustalenie ogólnych zaleceń dla realizacji zautomatyzowanych systemów nadzorowania procesu szlifowania wgłębnego. Zaprezentowano sposób wykorzystania wielu układów pomiarowych wielkości procesowych do nadzorowania stanu ściernicy i procesu szlifowania wgłębnego oraz oceniono doświadczalnie efektywność takiego podejścia.
In the paper, an efficient way of several sensors fusion for grinding wheel wear and some process outputs model building during the external cylindrical grinding is presented and the performance of the system is experimentally evaluated. The sensors of grinding force components, chatter vibration, and acoustic emission are used. First, the training and testing sets of data has been established. A level of the grinding wheel wear has been assigned to every data sample using especially designed sensors for tactile measurements of the wheel topography features. The principle of this measuring system is based on the technology of surface roughness measurement. The process state has been verified by measurements of the workpiece roughness and shape error. The laboratory research presented in the paper focuses mainly on a search for the best configuration signal processing methods. Different feature selection methods have been used to establish an optimal set of informative features as process state symptoms. The selected features can be used for the process state model building. The research results allow to find out general recommendations for building of the automated supervisory systems for plunge grinding processes.

Opis:
Menopause Symptom List was developed in Australia as a tool to depict severity and intensity of symptoms related to menopause. Three scales of the questionnaire – psychological, vasomotor and somatic symptoms – were extracted by factor analysis. The paper gives account of the Polish version of the questionnaire (Moje samopoczucie), its validity and reliability. Factor analysis has confirmed the original 3 factors structure of the questionnaire. Realiability coefficients (test-retest, Cronbach’s and Spearmann-Brown’s coefficient) were sufficiently high. Validity was estimated by comparing the results of the questionnaire and a physician’s evaluation of intensity and severity of menopausal symptoms. Most subjects with high questionnaire scores were also given high scores on medical record. Results of women with different menopausal status were significantly different. The scores changed significantly in women treated with hormone replacement therapy. All these results indicate that Polish version of Menopause Symptom List is a valid tool to be used in studies on menopausal transition.

Opis:
INTRODUCTION: COVID-19 (coronavirus disease 2019), a disease caused by SARS-CoV-2 (severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2) infection, may have a more or less severe course. The aim of this study was to analyse the symptoms which occurred in a group of people who tested positively for the presence of the genetic material of the virus. MATERIAL AND METHODS: The analysis was based on the results of 337 questionnaires collected from Polish patients – 185 (55%) females and 152 (45%) males aged 18–86. The questionnaire included 26 questions, of which 11 were related to systemic symptoms. The frequency of their occurrence and their severity were determined according to Visual Analogue Scale (VAS). RESULTS: The most common symptoms that occurred in over 50% of the respondents included: general weakness (91% of the respondents, severity of 6.25 on VAS), musculoskeletal pain (77%, VAS 5.67), headache (65%, VAS 5.37) and cough (56%, VAS 4.76). Runny nose, fever above 38℃ and sore throat were less common and occurred in 39% of the subjects. The least frequent symptoms were diarrhoea (23%), skin lesions (7%) and vomiting (3%). When determining the correlation coefficient, it was also found that dyspnoea occurred most often with general weakness (r = 1), whereas general weakness was less frequently associated with musculoskeletal pain (r = 0.8). No statistically significant relationships were found between the frequency of the symptoms and age, gender or the presence of comorbidities in the respondents. CONCLUSIONS: The observations showed that in the analysed group of people with SARS-CoV-2 infection, the disease had a mild-to-moderate course. General weakness, musculoskeletal pain, cough, and upper respiratory tract infection symptoms were the most common.
WSTĘP: COVID-19 (coronavirus disease 2019), choroba wywołana infekcją SARS-CoV-2 (severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2), może charakteryzować się mniej lub bardziej nasilonym przebiegiem. Celem niniejszego opracowania była analiza objawów, jakie wystąpiły w grupie osób z dodatnim wynikiem testu na obecność materiału genetycznego wirusa. MATERIAŁ I METODY: Analizę przeprowadzono na podstawie wyników ankiety przeprowadzonej wśród 337 polskich pacjentów – 185 (55%) kobiet oraz 152 (45%) mężczyzn w wieku 18–86 lat. Kwestionariusz zawierał 26 pytań, z czego 11 dotyczyło objawów ogólnoustrojowych. Określono częstość ich występowania oraz nasilenie w skali VAS (Visual Analogue Scale). WYNIKI: Do najczęstszych objawów, występujących u ponad 50% ankietowanych, należą: ogólne osłabienie (91% ankietowanych, nasilenie 6,25 w skali VAS), bóle układu mięśniowo-szkieletowego (77%, VAS 5,67), bóle głowy (65%, VAS 5,37) oraz kaszel (56%, VAS 4,76). Chorobie rzadziej towarzyszyły katar, gorączka powyżej 38°C oraz bóle gardła, które wystąpiły u 39% pacjentów. Najrzadziej występowały biegunka (23%), zmiany skórne (7%) oraz wymioty (3%). Określając współczynnik korelacji, stwierdzono również, iż duszności występowały najczęściej z ogólnym osła-bieniem (r = 1), natomiast rzadziej ogólnemu osłabieniu towarzyszyły bóle mięśniowo-szkieletowe (r = 0,8). Nie stwierdzono statystycznie istotnych zależności między częstością występowania danych objawów a wiekiem, płcią czy chorobami współistniejącymi u ankietowanych. WNIOSKI: Obserwacje wykazały, iż w analizowanej grupie zakażonych SARS-CoV-2 choroba miała przebieg łagodny lub umiarkowany. Najczęstszymi objawami były: ogólne zmęczenie, bóle mięśniowo-szkieletowe, kaszel oraz objawy nieżytu górnych dróg oddechowych.

Opis:
Objectives Gold miners use mercury to extract gold from ore adding liquid mercury to the milled gold-containing ore. This results in a mercury-gold compound, called amalgam. Miners smelt this amalgam to obtain gold, vaporizing it and finally inhaling the toxic mercury fumes. The objective was to merge and analyze data from different projects, to identify typical signs and symptoms of chronic inorganic mercury exposure. Material and Methods Miners and community members from various artisanal small-scale gold mining areas had been examined (Philippines, Mongolia, Tanzania, Zimbabwe, Indonesia). Data of several health assessments were pooled. Urine, blood and hair samples were analyzed for mercury (N = 1252). Questionnaires, standardized medical examinations and neuropsychological tests were used. Participants were grouped into: Controls (N = 209), living in an exposed area (N = 408), working with mercury as panners (N = 181), working with mercury as amalgam burners (N = 454). Chi2 test, linear trend test, Mann-Whitney test, Kruskal-Wallis test, correlation coefficient, Spearman’s rho, and analysis of variance tests were used. An algorithm was used to define participants with chronic mercury intoxication. Results Mean mercury concentrations in all exposed subgroups were elevated and above threshold limits, with amalgam burners showing highest levels. Typical symptoms of chronic metallic mercury intoxication were tremor, ataxia, coordination problems, excessive salivation and metallic taste. Participants from the exposed groups showed poorer results in different neuropsychological tests in comparison to the control group. Fifty-four percent of the high-exposed group (amalgam burners) were diagnosed as being mercury-intoxicated, compared to 0% within the control group (Chi2 p < 0.001). Conclusions Chronic mercury intoxication, with tremor, ataxia and other neurological symptoms together with a raised body burden of mercury was clinically diagnosed in exposed people in artisanal small-scale mining areas. The mercury exposure needs to be urgently reduced. Health care systems need to be prepared for this emerging problem of chronic mercury intoxication among exposed people.

INTRODUCTION: : Coronavirus can cause respiratory disease ranging from mild upper respiratory tract illness to severe pneumonia, acute respiratory distress syndrome, and death. The purpose of this research was to analyze the relationship of gender and age with symptoms of COVID-19 disease. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Consecutive sampling methodology was used, and all real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) confirmed patients of COVID-19 were included. Data regarding age, gender, and symptoms with onset was recorded and analyzed using Chi-square and Student t-tests with P-value ≤ .05 considered as significant. Data was entered and analyzed using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 25.0 RESULTS: Ninety-eight patients, 68 (69.4%) males and 30 (30.6%) females were included in the study. Fifty-five (56.1%) were symptomatic and the rest were asymptomatic. Mean duration of symptoms in symptomatic cases was 2.8±1.1 days. Of these, 60 (61.85%) were older than 40 years and 17 (17.34%) had a history of travel. Fever and persistent cough were reported by more than 50% patients. Fatigue, sore throat, shortness of breath and myalgias and headaches were reported by 32-21% patients. Nausea, Vomiting, runny nose, sputum, diarrhea and anorexia were reported by less than 11% patients. Fever, dyspnea and nausea were more in individuals over 40 years. Dyspnea was more in males and fatigue was more in females. CONCLUSIONS:Many of our COVID-19 infected patients were symptomatic with fever and cough as the most common symptoms. Recognition of the pattern of these symptoms is essential for early diagnosis and management of the disease.

Opis:
COVID-19 manifests itself in a wide spectrum of clinical symptoms, both in terms of their variety and severity. It can be asymptomatic or abortive, mild, moderate, severe and lightning, as septic with multiple organ failure and shock Typical leading symptoms of COVID-19 are: high fever poorly responding to drugs, severe loss of strength, chest pain, dyspnoea, pain headaches, bone and joint pain and muscle pain, until the onset of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). However, many publications mention among the possible symptoms also others, not related to the involvement of the lower respiratory tract. These are gastrointestinal disorders, damage to the central and peripheral nervous system, catarrh of the upper respiratory tract and dysfunctions of the sensory organs. The aim of this literature review was to determine the frequency of various head and neck dysfunctions that are part of COVID-19. Symptoms of conjunctivitis, nasal mucosa, pharynx and larynx are reported by about of patients, but they do not always occur at the same time, as in infections caused, for example, by rhinoviruses. Anosmi / hyposmia or ageusia / hypogeusia occur with a similar frequency. Symptoms of damage to the equilibrium system, such as dizziness, are reported by approx. 1/3, vertigo and hearing loss approx. 5-6%, tinnitus approx. 10% of patients. Reports of coexistence with COVID-19 of peripheral paresis of the facial nerve are so far relatively few and often included in the neurological disorders, the frequency of which is also about 1/3 of COVID-19 cases. Importantly, both catarrhal symptoms and the others listed here may precede, co-occur or follow the appearance of the leading symptoms of COVID-19. They can also be the only symptoms of this disease. This should prompt otorhinolaryngologists to be particularly vigilant in this regard
COVID-19 manifestuje się szerokim spektrum objawów klinicznych, tak pod względem ich różnorodności, jak natężenia. Może przebiegać bezobjawowo lub poronnie, lekko, średnio, ciężko oraz piorunująco, jako stan septyczny z niewydolnością wielonarządową i wstrząsem Typowymi wiodącymi objawami COVID-19 są: wysoka gorączka słabo reagująca na leki, mocno odczuwalna utrata sił, ból w klatce piersiowej, duszność, ból głowy, bóle kostno-stawowe i mięśniowe, aż do wystąpienia zespołu ostrej niewydolności oddechowej ARDS (acute respiratory distress syndrome). Jednakże wiele publikacji wymienia wśród możliwych objawów także inne, nie związane z zajęciem dolnych dróg oddechowych. Są to zaburzenia żołądkowo-jelitowe, uszkodzenia ośrodkowego i obwodowego układu nerwowego, nieżyt górnych dróg oddechowych i dysfunkcje narządów zmysłów. Celem niniejszego przeglądu piśmiennictwa było określenie częstości różnych dysfunkcji w obrębie głowy i szyi, będących elementami COVID-19. Objawy nieżytu spojówek, błony śluzowej nosa, gardła i krtani podaje ok. ¾ chorych, jednak nie zawsze występują one wszystkie i jednoczasowo, jak w infekcjach wywoływanych np. przez rhinowirusy. Z podobną częstością występują Anosmi/hyposmia lub ageusia/hypogeusia. Objawy uszkodzeń układu równowagi, w postaci dizziness zgłasza ok. 1/3, vertigo i niedosłuch ok. 5-6%, szum uszny ok. 10%, pacjentów. Doniesienia o współwystępowaniu z COVID-19 obwodowego niedowładu nerwu twarzowego są na razie stosunkowo nieliczne i często zaliczane do zaburzeń neurologicznych, których częstość wynosi również ok. 1/3 przypadków COVID-19. Co ważne, tak objawy nieżytowe, jak i pozostałe tu wymienione mogą poprzedzać, współwystępować lub następować po wystąpieniu wiodących objawów COVID-19. Mogą być także jedynymi objawami tej choroby. Powinno to skłaniać otorynolaryngologów do szczególnej czujności w tym zakresie.

Background: Though the absence of vertigo in Meniere disease is often interpreted as remission, patient-centered subjective assessment of quality of life remains the best indicator of such remission. Study Objective: To assess the presence and severity of aural pressure/tinnitus, hearing loss, unsteadiness, nausea and vomiting in MD patients during remission. Setting: Urban tertiary care referral hospital in a developing country. Methodology: Consecutive patients with diagnosis of Definite Meniere were selected from the Balance and Dizziness Clinic of National Hospital Abuja for the study. Quality of life assessment was carried out using 3 validated tools – Modified MD-POSI, Vertigo Symptom Scale and Tinnitus Handicap Inventory (THI). Patients were included only when they have been vertigo free for at least 4 weeks. Pure tone audiometry was carried out in those with subjective hearing loss at recruitment and 4 weeks later. Results: A total of 26 patients completed the study. All had cinnarizine for acute vertigo control and Betahistine for maintenance of vertigo control. There was female preponderance (17:9). The age range was 32–56 years. The duration of MD ranges from 4 months to 12 years. The total and subscale MD-POSI scores for “between attacks” significantly correlated with hearing, unsteadiness and tinnitus/pressure when compared to during attack. 69.2 per cent of participants experienced symptoms of unsteadiness during remission. 13/26 of participants reported persistent, though less annoying tinnitus that poorly correlated with THI score during remission. Conclusion: Our study showed that significant non-vertigo symptoms affect the quality of life during remission. Perhaps there is need to properly define, in future studies, what constitutes remission in patients with MD.

Opis:
Objective: to evaluate knowledge about phytoestrogens among Polish menopausal women, and to assess their applicability and safety. Methods: The study included 300 women from the Wielkopolska Region, aged 40-60 years. The questionnaire was designed especially for the study. Crosstabulation tables and Perason’s chi-squared test was used for the statistical analysis. Results: 147 respondents continued to menstruate. Hormone Replacement Therapy was used by 69 subjects; 114 respondents, used phytoestrogens. The place of inhabitance influenced the reasons for not using phytoestrogens. Media, healthcare providers and personnel were the main source of information about phytoestrogens. Most of respondents perceived phytoestrogens as substances displaying a beneficial effect on health. 69% of the subjects reported positive effects of non-hormonal preparations for the relief of climacteric symptoms, mainly reduction in hot flushes and alleviation of joint pain. Conclusions: Our results support the postulate of efficacy and safety of phytoestrogen use to relieve climacteric symptoms. Both education and place of inhabitance appear to affect the opinions of the affected females about phytoestrogen use during menopause.

Opis:
Customers of pharmacies in conversations with their pharmacists, when asking for help in choosing a treatment, often refer to various symptoms, including depression. Communication with the pharmacists is an important factor in shaping the consumers’ health knowledge and behaviors. The aim of the study was to investigate specific characteristics of pharmacist – patient conversations during which patients refer to depressive symptoms. The questionnaire included questions addressing various independent factors related to the communicative situation which may affect the number and kind of reported depressive symptoms. The study participants were 60 pharmacists (with university level and postsecondary education). The results of the statistical analysis confirmed the hypotheses about differences in reported symptoms of depression. A hypothesis that the confidence of customers in their communication with the pharmacists increases with the age and education of the pharmacists was confirmed only in part. In addition, the results revealed that factors such as community size, number of pharmacies in a community and number of employees per work shift significantly correlate with more intensive communication of depressive symptoms.

The purpose of this study was to distinguish histopathological changes in carp fish (Carassius auratus) infected by Aeromonas hydrophila with different densities. Five treatments were used in the survey for this research method. The treatments used were bacterial infusion of A. hydrophila in the test fish through intramuscular injection with various densities, namely: A. without infection, B: 105 CFU/mL, C: 106 CFU/mL, D: 107 CFU/mL, and E: 108 CFU/mL. The parameters observed were histopathological changes in gill organs, kidneys and hearts of carp fish (gold fish). Data from histopathological observations were analyzed descriptively. The results present gill organs, liver and kidneys of carp fish infected with the bacteria A. hydrophila at various densities experiencing histopathological changes in the form of hemorrhages, necrosis and congestion and hyperplasia of the renal tubules. Other changes that occur were in the kidney organ experiencing a melanomacrophage center (MC). Tubules were coated with connective tissue and lymphocyte infiltration. The most severe organ damage that occurs in carp fish infected with the bacteria A. hydrophila at a density of 108 CFU/mL (treatment E) is shown by a low survival of 5%.

Introduction and objectives. Although physical activity has been found to reduce the risk of cardiovascular diseases and depression in the general population, little is known about physical patterns and the link with postnatal depressive symptoms and awareness of cardiovascular risk factors in postpartum women. The aim of this study was to examine physical activity patterns and their link to depressive symptoms in postpartum women. The secondary endpoint was the assessment of health awareness in women six months after delivery. Material and methods. Eighty postpartum women with a mean age of 27±4 years (group A – 40 physically active women, group B – 40 women leading a sedentary lifestyle) completed a self-report questionnaire and The Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS) questionnaire. Results. In group A, the types of physical activity undertaken in the six-month period after delivery were as follows: 20 women – housework (180 min/session), 18 women – gentle walks (180 min/session), 16 women – group fitness classes (60 min/session), 6 – rapid walking (40 min/session), 3 women – swimming (60 min/session), 2 women – jogging (45 min/session), 1 woman – squash, (45 min/session) 1 – dancing (90 min/session), 1 – tennis (60min/session). Group B declared a sedentary lifestyle and physical activity of less than 30 min a day. The level of health awareness was statistically better in women who were physically active six months after delivery than in women who led a sedentary lifestyle. On a scale with a maximum 55 points, the mean scores were 47.4 in group A and 31.2 in group B (p=0.001). Depressive symptoms were more pronounced in group B. Twenty seven women from group A and three women from group B returned to their pre-pregnancy weight (p=0.04). Conclusions. Women who were physically active after delivery were characterized by higher health awareness and more frequent return to pre-pregnancy weight. Physical activity may be important for reducing the risk of postnatal depression.

The genus Phytopythium is a relatively new group of organisms distinguished from the Pythium genus. These are organisms closely related to Pythium and Phytophthora, with similar structure and biology. Despite many similarities, this genus is characterised by several morphological features that allow it to be easily identified. Until now, more than 20 species belong to this genus, most of which are saprophytic organisms. However, there is also a group of species particularly dangerous to plants. These species include, among others, Pp. litorale, Pp. helicoides and Pp. vexans. The purpose of this work was to collect information about these organisms and present them in a condensed form. The study contains basic information about the history of the type of separation, differences in morphology distinctive genus of Phytopythium, Phytophthora and Pythium and information about diseases and host plants. Information is also provided on the potential threat posed by these organisms to forest ecosystems.

Opis:
Antraknoza ziemniaka jest chorobą skórki bulw i liści ziemniaka wywoływaną przez grzyba Colletotrichum coccodes (Wallr.) S. J. Hughes (synonimy C. atramentarium (Berk. & Br. Taub) and C. phomoides). Jest chorobą powszechnie występującą w większości rejonów uprawy ziemniaka na świecie i może powodować straty plonu na odmianach podatnych sięgające do 30%–75%. Objawy antraknozy (C. coccodes) mogą występować na wszystkich częściach podziemnych (bulwy potomne, stolony i korzenie), podstawie łodygi i na liściach. Cechą charakterystyczną antraknozy ziemniaka jest występowanie małych czarnych sklerocjów na korzeniach, łodygach, rozłogach i bulwach potomnych zakażonych roślin. Stosunkowo małe znaczenie antraknozy wzrosło po części z powodu rosnącego rynku ziemniaków świeżych i ziemniaków półprzetworzonych wynikającego ze wzrostu popytu na wysokiej jakości ziemniaki myte.
Black dot is a tuber blemish and foliar disease of potato caused by the fungus Colletotrichum coccodes (Wallr.) S. J. Hughes (synonyms C. atramentarium (Berk. & Br. Taub) and C. phomoides). It is common in most potato growing areas in the world and may cause up to 30%–75% yield reduction on susceptible cultivars. Colletotrichum coccodes can colonize all underground parts (daughter tubers, stolons and roots), basal stems and foliage of potato plants. The typical symptoms of the disease are small black sclerotia on the roots, stems, stolons, and progeny tubers of infected plants. The relative importance of Colletotrichum coccodes on potato has increased, in part due to the growing market for fresh, prepacked potatoes, which has resulted in an increase in the demand for washed potatoes with a high-quality appearance.

Opis:
Trichotillomania, also known as hair pulling disorder, is a chronic psychiatric condition common among women. It is a condition that causes impairment in social, occupational, or other important areas of functioning. The rate of presentation of such cases to medical practitioners is low, as affected individuals conceal it because of the shame associated with hair pulling behaviour. This makes the aetiology and management of the condition to be fairly understood; creating the need for extensive empirical research. This paper discusses the clinical and epidemiological features of trichotillomania and its management.

Introduction: Newborns born prematurely and treated in intensive care units are at greater risk of experiencing pain than patients treated in other units. Purpose: To evaluate the severity of pain perceived by children during the performance of medical procedures related to the treatment and care process. Materials and methods: The study was conducted at one of the Intensive Care Units in Opole. The study group consisted of 100 newborns, 60% of the subjects were prematurely born newborns, and 40% - were full-term. The degree of procedural pain associated with blood collection, peripheral puncture insertion, upper respiratory tract suction, gastric tube insertion and ophthalmic examination was assessed by an observation method using the standard Neonatal Infant Pain Scale Form (NIPS). Results: Out of the analysed medical procedures, 100% of children experienced acute, severe pain over the course of suction and ophthalmological examination. The highest perception of pain was experienced by 88.3% of premature newborns and 71.8% of full-term newborns. Over the course of medical procedures, 84% of male and 79.6% female newborns experienced acute pain. It was shown that the degree of pain perception was determined by the type of performed medical procedure (p=0.001) and the gestational age of the newborn (p=0.037). On the other hand, there was no correlation between the sex of the newborn child and the degree of pain perception (p=0.758). Conclusions: Based on the foregoing study result, bearing in mind the need to minimise the effects of pain stimulation, it seems important to use standardised tools to assess the severity of pain in newborns treated in Intensive Care Units on a larger scale.

Wskazano postulatywnie na zwiększenie diagnostycznego oprzyrządowania turbogeneratora i określanie podstawowych miar i cech sygnałów diagnostycznych. Omówiono podstawowe wzorce sygnałów diagnostycznych i zaproponowano ogólne zależności transformacji i oceny tych sygnałów. Celem takiego ujęcia jest zwiększenie jednoznaczności, czułości, informatywności i wielowymiarowości symptomów stanu.
The paper presents the elements of the principles of diagnosing the technical condition of turbogenerators. The problem was examined in terms of methodology based on the types of sensors and their distribution structure and principles of analysis of symptoms of the technical condition of machines. We postulate to increase the diagnostic instrumentation of the turbogenerator and to determine the basic characteristics and measurement of diagnostic signals. The work also discusses the basic patterns of diagnostic signals and proposes general dependencies of transformation and evaluation of these signals. The aim of this approach is to increase the unambiguity, sensitivity, informativity and multidimensionality of the condition symptoms.

Opis:
Accurate diagnosis of acute appendicitis (AA) is still a problem and is not always easy, even for experienced surgeons. Studies have shown that 20 to 30% of the appendices removedwere normal. Therefore, various scoring systems have been developed to aid in the diagnosis of doubtful cases and reduce the number of unnecessary appendectomies. The aim of this study was to assess the diagnostic value of different scoring systems in acute appendicitis. Material and methods. The study involved 94 patients who underwent laparotomy due to suspected acute appendicitis. Medical examination at hospital admission was performed by a resident and a general surgery specialist. The probability of AA was evaluated using six different scoring systems: Alvarado, Fenyo, Eskelinen, Ohman, Tzankis, and RIPASA. The resident calculated the results in individual systems. The decision to perform the operation was taken by a specialist surgeon who did not know the results. Results. Normal appendix was removed in 26% of cases. Eskelinen, RIPASA and Alvarado systems showed highest sensitivity (99%, 88% and 85%, respectively). Tzankis and Fenyo systems showed highest specificity (62% and 50%, respectively). Conclusions. Our study has shown limited value of scoring systems for the diagnosis of acute appendicitis. The systems may improve diagnostic accuracy as they require obtaining a more detailed medical history, and making a more thorough and organized data analysis. However, the scoring systems should be treated only as an aid to diagnosis

Opis:
Psychological distress associated with body image disorders in patients with breast cancer is well described in the literature. Given the known insults to body image caused by both disease and oncological treatment, body image distress is commonplace within this patient population. Stress is also a frequent sequela of a diagnosis of and treatment for cancer and may manifest various forms. This study undertook to investigate the nature of stress and body image distress within a cohort of 80 female breast cancer patients drawn from three outpatient cancer treatment facilities in the Durban, South Africa region and to examine its correlation with psychological and behavioural indices reported by these patients as compared to a group of 80 female patients undergoing treatment for other types of cancer. The results indicated that although there were no significant differences between the two groups in terms of depressive symptomatology and measures of self-esteem, where scores largely fell within normal ranges, the breast cancer patients experienced higher levels of body image dissatisfaction as compared to the other group and that stress tended to be expressed in psychological and behavioural indices as opposed to physiological expression.

Opis:
We present the case of a subject developing anosmia, preceded by nasal transient irritation and short lasting phantosmia and torqosmia, upon re-entrance into a room treated with a pyrethrin-based insecticide. The concentration of the insecticide in the room is unknown, but relatively high levels are predicted basing upon the modality of exposure and by the irritation symptoms in the subject. Despite corticosteroids therapy, anosmia has persisted unmodifi ed for more than three years; according to, and based on evidence in the literature on olfactory disturbance prognosis, anosmia in this patient is likely to be permanent. The signifi cance of this case report is related to the current wide use of insecticides containing pyrethrin and pyrethroids and highlights the need for more adequate attention to lowering airborne concentrations of pyrethrins and pyrethroids prior to re-entering the treated rooms. In particular, in a closed space sprayed with pyrethrins and pyrethroids insecticide, any irritant symptoms and/or dysosmia should be immediately considered relevant warning signs, and must be avoided.

Opis:
Objectives: The aim of our study was to assess the health conditions and subjective symptoms of the inhabitants living in the base stations vicinity and to analyse the relationship between the complaints and level of exposure to electromagnetic fields (EMF). Materials and Methods: Our study was performed in housing estates located in five regions of Łódź. The electric field measurements were performed in the buildings located closest to the azimuth of the antennas. Respondents were selected by trained interviewers using an uniform procedure. The number of the households to be examined was set at a minimum of 420. The questionnaire contained: demographic data, occupational and environmental exposure to EMF, health condition, subjective complaints. Results were adjusted for confounders (age, gender, EMF at the workplace and EMF emitted by household equipment) using multiple regression model. Results: 181 men and 319 women from 500 households were examined. Electric field above 0.8 V/m was recorded in 12% of flats. There was no significant correlation between electric field strength and the distance of examined flats from the base stations. To make possible comparison with relevant literature, we analysed also the frequency of the reported symptoms vs. the distance. Headache was declared by 57% people, most frequently (36.4%) living 100–150 m away from the base station compared to people living at longer distances (p = 0.013). 24.4% subjects, mostly living at a distance above 150 m, declared impaired memory. Difference was statistically significant in comparison with people living at other distances (p = 0.004). Conclusions: The explanation why we did not find any correlation between the electric field strength and frequency of subjective symptoms but found a correlation between subjective symptoms and distance from base station needs further studies. Maybe new metrics of exposure assessment should be adopted for this purpose.

Opis:
The objective of the study was to test how selected respondents (psychologists and police officers) evaluate the diagnostic value of symptoms (cues) of deception listed in literature on the subject. To achieve that, 16 verbal and non-verbal (behavioural) symptoms listed in literature as most typical and most frequently accompanying deceit were ever located by 100 police officers and 101 psychologists (n=201). Their task was to group the symptoms according to the following categories: “oft en present”, “rarely present”, and “never present”. Both the groups of respondents claimed that in their work they have to frequently decide whether their interlocutors tell the truth or lie, and are convinced that they are capable of accurate detection of deception through their assessment of verbal and non-verbal (behavioural) symptoms accompanying lie. The latter belief is clearly refuted by the results of all known experimental studies. In fact, police officers and psychologists agreed that the most diagnostic symptom is “avoidance of eye contact” (143 respondents categorised it as often present). “High frequency of eye blinking” was considered least diagnostic of the symptoms, with only 47 respondents claiming that it is frequent, together with “head scratching” with 51 considering it as occurring “often”). Convergence of the respondents’ opinions was high. No significant differences between the occupational and age groups, and genders were discovered. The results of the study remain coherent with the results of studies by other authors maintaining that the skill of detecting deception in the interlocutor is determined neither by education, nor occupation, nor gender, nor the age of the person performing the detection.

Opis:
SARS-CoV-2 (severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2) wywołujący COVID-19 (corona virus disease 2019) rozprzestrzenił się po świecie w błyskawicznym tempie, prowadząc do ogłoszenia przez Światową Organizację Zdrowia (World Health Organization, WHO) stanu pandemii. COVID-19 najczęściej kojarzony jest z objawami ze strony układu oddechowego. Dotychczasowe doniesienia w piśmiennictwie z zakresu nauk medycznych informują również o występowaniu objawów pochodzących z innych układów m.in. sercowo-naczyniowego, pokarmowego oraz nerwowego. Objawy neurologiczne powszechnie kojarzone z COVID-19 to ból głowy oraz utrata węchu i smaku. Nie są to jednak jedyne symptomy ze strony układu nerwowego, które mogą wystąpić w przebiegu COVID-19. Choć najbardziej narażone na zachorowanie są osoby starsze, obciążone chorobami przewlekłymi, to wirus dotyka również dzieci. Większość z nich przechodzi zakażenie łagodnie lub bezobjawowo. Zdarzają się jednak przypadki, gdy w przebiegu choroby występują objawy neurologiczne, nierzadko prowadzące do stanu zagrożenia życia. Celem pracy jest podsumowanie informacji na temat dotychczas opublikowanych objawów neurologicznych COVID-19 w populacji pediatrycznej, ocena możliwych patomechanizmów ich powstawania oraz porównanie z objawami występującymi u dorosłych.
The SARS-CoV-2 causing COVID-19 has spread around theworld at a rapid pace leading the WHO to declare a pandemic.COVID-19 is most often associated with respiratory symptoms.Unfortunately, on the basis of previous reports, symptoms fromother systems were also observed including cardiovascular, digestive and nervous. Neurological symptoms commonly associated with COVID-19 are headache and loss of smell and taste.However, these are not the only symptoms from the nervoussystem that may occur in the course of COVID-19. Although theelderly with chronic diseases are most at risk, the virus also affects children. Most of them are infected mildly or asymptomatically. However, there are cases when neurological symptomsoccur in the course of the disease, not infrequently leading toa life-threatening condition. The aim of the study is to summarize the information on the previously described neurologicalsymptoms of COVID-19 in the pediatric population, to evaluatepossible pathomechanisms of their formation and to comparethem with the symptoms occurring in adults.

Opis:
Autism is a disorder that becomes today the subject of many interdisciplinary studies. You can talk about a wide spectrum of autism. It concerns adults, but also children. In the article special attention is paid to autism during preschool and early school age. It should be noted that the term "autism" has enough short history as it appeared in the 40s of the twentieth century. This concept can be understood in three main areas: 1) breaking social ties or limited ability to enter into interpersonal relationships; 2) abnormal communication; 3) stiffness behaviour, restricted repertoire of activities and interests connected with to the lack of imagination. Another element of the article is the presentation of the core symptoms of autism. It is worth noting that autism is reflected by the diversity of its syndromes. It was important to pay special attention to autism. The specificity of childhood autism must be taken into account in the selection of methods situations and psychotherapeutic techniques. The point is that the effectiveness of the therapy does not undermine the fundamental norms and moral principles. One of the basic principles is the trust and respecting professional secrecy. In this context, there is a very important proposal for the therapists and other professionals working with autistic children to constantly work on raising not only professional skills, but also care about raising the moral qualifications.

Objectives Manicurists are exposed to various chemicals in nail and skin care products and may develop ocular, nasal, respiratory or skin adverse reactions to them. To investigate the occurrence of ocular, nasal, respiratory and skin problems among manicurists and to identify their causal factors, particularly allergic etiology and occupational origin. Material and Methods Manicurists employed in beauty salons in the central region of Poland were invited to fill in the questionnaire and undergo medical examination, skin prick tests with common aeroallergens, patch tests with European Baseline Series and (Meth)Acrylates Series-Nails and spirometry. Results In the questionnaire adverse nasal symptoms were reported by 70%, ocular – by 58%, respiratory – by 42%, hand eczema – by 43% of manicurists. In the medical interview, the frequency of those complaints was lower: nasal ones – 41%, ocular – 24%, cough – 18%, hand skin dryness – 20%, hand eczema – 6%. Cough and hand skin dryness occurred significantly more frequently than in the case of controls. Contact allergy was found for 41% of manicurists and 35% of controls. The prevalence of nickel sensitization was high in both groups (38% and 27%, respectively). Only 3 manicurists reacted to (meth)acrylates. The frequency of atopic diseases was similar in compared groups. Irritant nasal and respiratory reactions were significantly more prevalent among manicurists (nasal – 18% vs. 2%, p < 0.01; respiratory – 18% vs. 1%, p < 0.001). Work-related nasal irritant reactions were finally diagnosed for 19%, ocular ones – for 13%, respiratory – for 18% and within hand skin – for 23% of manicurists. Conclusions The frequency of workattributed irritant mucosal and skin symptoms among manicurists is high. Exposure to acrylates is an important source of mucosal irritant reactions while occlusive gloves cause irritation of hand skin. The prevalence of nickel allergy among Polish females is high.

Opis:
RSI and RFS questionnaires are a basic and common method used for initial diagnosis of laryngopharyngeal reflux (LPR). However, they only measure symptoms which may or may not be concurrent with LPR. The severity of these symptoms is assessed either by the patients themselves (with the use of the Reflux Symptoms Index – RSI) or by the doctor specialising in the field (with the use of the Reflux Finding Score – RFS). Therefore, the findings of the questionnaire may to a large extent depend on the study population – its demographic and cultural characteristics; the extent to which the medical terms used in the questionnaires are understood; and on the linguistic aspects and translation choices. As for the Polish language versions of these questionnaires, there is no reliable analysis of their consistency and if they reach the assumed goal. The studies we have conducted on a group of 84 patients show that we encounter at least one of the above-mentioned problems. Therefore, to make the questionnaires reliable and useful for diagnosis, it is necessary to conduct a formal validation of their translation and to conduct studies on reference groups.

The paper presents results of the calculation, based on simplified engine model, aimed on prediction of IAS (Instantaneous Angular Speed) of the crankshaft fluctuations under faulty engine condition. Gas forces were calculated basing on results of in-cylinder pressure measurements which were used as inputs to the dynamic model. Mass forces were calculated basing on technical particulars of the engine Sulzer 3Al 25/30.Measurements of the incylinder pressure was carried out at laboratory stand in Gdynia Maritime University, equipped with diesel engine Sulzer 3AL 25/30 driving electro-generator. Sulzer 3AL 25/30 is three cylinder, medium speed, four stroke marine diesel engine, with maximum output 408 kW at 750 rpm. In order to evaluate of IAS model utility for diagnostic prediction of the engine behavior, two kinds of malfunctions of engine’s fuel system were simulated. First malfunction was fuel leakage from high pressure line; the second was partly plugged injector’s nozzle. Construction of high pressure fuel pump enable to fuel leakage simulation. The engine was run out at load 250 kW what is around 65% of nominal. Results of all measurement were smoothed in order to eliminate a noise using SG (Savitzky – Golay) filter. Results of fault condition modeling were compared with healthy engine model and with results of in -cylinder pressure diagrams, in order to create a map of deviations from normal condition.

Introduction. Every farming method, whether conventional or organic, has been associated with some sort of risky behaviors leading to health issues among farmers. Substantial evidence is not available in the literature to determine whether the magnitudes of health outcomes vary between conventional and organic farmers. The study investigated whether selfreported neurological and mental health symptoms differ between conventional and organic farmers living in Indiana, USA. Materials and method. A self-reported questionnaire survey collected information from 200 conventional and 157 organic farmers of Indiana on demographic characteristics, depression and neurological symptoms. Statistical analyses were conducted to observe the differences in self-reported symptoms by groups of farmers. Results. It was observed that the conventional farmers had significantly higher age-adjusted mean neurological symptom score (p<0.01) than the organic farmers. Regression models revealed positive and significant associations of conventional farming with total (β =1.34; p=0.02), sensory (β =0.83; p=0.001) and behavioural (β =0.09; p=0.03) symptoms after accounting for age, income, education and years in farming. Positive but non-significant associations were also observed in conventional farmers with cognitive and motor symptoms, and with all subscales of depression symptoms in the adjusted models. Conclusion. The findings obtained suggest the importance of a larger study to further explain the difference in mental and neurological health effects in these two categories of farmers.

Objectives To explore the relationship between depressive symptoms, fatigue and psychological flexibility, as well as their interactions on depression in Chinese nurses. Material and Methods Using convenience sampling, a cross-sectional survey of 796 nurses in municipal hospitals of Zhengzhou, Henan Province, China, was conducted. The questionnaires of Work-related Acceptance and Action Questionnaire, Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale and Fatigue Assessment Instrument were used. Hierarchical regression and bootstrap methods were used to examine the mediating effect of psychological flexibility between fatigue and depression. Results More than 51.8% of the nurses were at risk of depression and 62.3% were at risk of fatigue. There was a significantly positive and moderate correlation between depression and fatigue severity, situation specificity, and consequences (r = 0.43, r = 0.24 and r = 0.31, respectively, p < 0.01). Depression was negatively correlated with psychological flexibility (r = –0.28, p < 0.01). Psychological flexibility had a negative impact on depression with the explained variance increased by 4.2% (β = –0.211, p < 0.001). The bootstrap method showed that the mediating effect of psychological flexibility accounting for 8.5% and 12.3% on fatigue and depressive symptoms, respectively. Conclusions Psychological flexibility plays a partial mediating role between the fatigue severity, consequences of fatigue and depressive symptoms of nurses. Hospital managers should improve medical staff work acceptance to alleviate their depressive symptoms.

Opis:
Background: Patients often seek out the help of general practitioners for problems that need a holistic, biopsychosocial approach. Having a psychologist present to support the GP in treatment allows for a more complete response to the patient’s distress, which is aided by the integration of the two specialists’ areas of expertise. Aim of the study: The aims of the study were to ensure all patients had direct access to a psychologist during treatment, even if they had not put in a specific request for one, to take care of accidental crises in real time, to reduce spending on inappropriate pharmaceutical prescriptions and diagnostic examinations, and to facilitate health promotion. Material and methods: The experiment took place between January 2014 and December 2015, in Pordenone, Italy. The psychologist was present in the GP practice every Thursday. The psychologist was present to provide consultation for each person who went to the GP practice for treatment. The study also explored the significance of any request, the psychological framework of the observed situations, and included an additional meeting with the psychologist in the GP practice, for individual interviews. Results: Of about 1,300 consultations with both the psychologist and GP present, the majority of the patients accepted the psychologist’s presence favorably. The most frequent source of discomfort for patients related to the grieving process during separation from people to whom the individual has a strong emotional attachment. 30 patients (6 males, 24 females) took part in individual follow-up meetings, 5 abandoned the project, 21 completed the full series of meetings, and 4 were sent to a mental health facility. Because of this holistic approach, spending on medical investigations was reduced by 6%, and the cost of pharmaceutical expenditure decreased by 10%. Conclusions: The joint medico-psychological treatment prevented, even at early stages, the appearance of somatic and psychic symptoms. This study has positively promoted health and well-being and shown that this type of treatment can help to limit expenses for pharmaceutical prescriptions and specialist diagnostic examinations.

Background: Jute industry workers constantly exposed themselves to jute dust and are at risk of impairment of lung function. Investigation on various studies revealed the effects of exposure to jute dust but limited studies so far undertaken regarding its bearing on pulmonary function of jute workers of West Bengal,India. Purpose: To evaluate the respiratory status of jute mill workers of West Bengal exposed to occupational hazards. Materials and Methods: This cross sectional study was conducted on 203 male jute mill workers of age range 18 – 60 yrs. from West Bengal and a control group of 141 men of similar age .Dynamic pulmonary function parameters were carried out including physical parameters, respiratory abnormalities, year of exposure and smoking history. Results: FVC, FEV1, FEF 200-1200 and PEFR values of higher age group non smoker of low dust zone were significantly higher in comparison to the non smoker of high dust zone. The prevalence of chest tightness was 33.49% and liver dysfunction was 41.9% in dusty zone workers of jute mill in comparison to less dusty zone. Again, incidence of chest tightness and cough was highest (35.44%) in higher age group workers and prevalence of byssinosis like symptoms and chronic bronchitis was 30- 37% after 10 – 30years of exposure. But occurrence of bronchial asthma was 11.9% in workers of greater than 20 years of exposure. Prevalence of all the above respiratory abnormalities was higher among smokers than non-smokers. Conclusions: Concentration of jute dust exposure had been associated with decrease in FVC, FEV1, and PEFR with a higher risk of developing chronic bronchitis, bronchial asthma, byssinosis and other respiratory symptoms. This indicated high occupational health hazards which would create an alarming situation, if remained unchecked.

Opis:
Topiramate is an antiepileptic drug prescribed in the treatment of numerous psychiatric disorders and in epilepsy. Topiramate exerts its antiepileptic effect through different mechanisms, such as by the blockage of sodium channels, increasing GABAergic neurotransmission, antagonizing excitatory amino acid receptors (glutamate) or blocking calcium channels. Its prescription in psychiatric diseases has increased in recent years and psychotic symptom development due to the usage of topiramate has been observed in some studies. Therefore, it is essential to evaluate the patient for psychotic symptoms while using topiramate. This article presents a case of a 37-year-old woman who developed depression, anxiety and auditory hallucinations during the treatment with 150 mg of topiramate. After stopping topiramate, 5 mg of olanzapine bid was started and the symptoms gradually decreased and finally disappeared.
Topiramat to lek przeciwdrgawkowy przepisywany w leczeniu wielu zaburzeń psychicznych i padaczce. Mechanizm działania przeciwdrgawkowego jest wielokierunkowy – np. lek ten blokuje kanały sodowe, stymuluje neurotransmisję w układzie GABA-ergicznym, antagonizuje receptory dla pobudzających aminokwasów (glutaminian) oraz blokuje kanały wapniowe. Jakkolwiek w ostatnich latach topiramat przepisywany jest coraz częściej w leczeniu zaburzeń psychicznych, to jednak w kilku badaniach zgłaszano występowanie objawów psychotycznych w następstwie jego stosowania. Z tego względu szczególnie ważna jest ocena pacjentów stosujących ten lek pod kątem występowania objawów psychotycznych. Autorzy przedstawiają przypadek 37-letniej pacjentki, u której w związku z leczeniem z użyciem 150 mg topiramatu rozwinęły się depresja, zaburzenia lękowe i omamy słuchowe. Po odstawieniu topiramatu zalecono stosowanie 5 mg olanzapiny dwa razy dziennie. Objawy stopniowo zanikały, aż do całkowitego ustąpienia.

Opis:
Despite multidirectional activities in the sphere of politics, health care and limiting direct interpersonal contacts to a minimum, the Covid-19 pandemic has covered the whole world and the number of new cases is rising exponentially. This demonstrates the considerable severity of the situation. The doctors and other health professionals are and will be at the forefront of the fight against the pandemic, being at the same time the group most at risk of infection. SARS-CoV-2 virus infection applies to patients of all ages, with a median age of 49–59 years. The most common complaints in patients with Covid-19 include fever, caught, dyspnea, general malaise and muscle aches. In the course of Covid-19 may occur pneumonia, which in about 20% of cases is moderately to severe and associated with respiratory distress. Important for otorhinolaryngologists are reports of smell and taste disorders. Post-infective loss of smell can make up about 30% of all patients with Covid-19. The confirmation of SARS-CoV-2 infection in patients with symptomatic or epidemiological suspicion of Covid-19 are genetic tests RT-PCR. Biological material is usually taken from the nose or nasopharynx. The management of Covid-19 is symptomatic because there is currently no specific cure drug. There is a particularly high risk of transmitting infection from a patient to the physicians, who are treating diseases of the respiratory tract or perform any interventions on the upper and lower respiratory tract. Low-symptomatic first stages of the disease with high viral load mean that during a pandemic, scheduled examinations and procedures should be limited. During the examination of patients or their treatment, adequate full PPE protection is indicated, reducing the risk of accidental infection of the treatment team. For the treatment of patients with confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection or requiring immediate treatment without the possibility of determining epidemiological factors Covid-19, full protection in PPE is obligatory.

Opis:
Objectives: Days off, on call, night duty, working hours and job stress can affect physicians’ mental health, and support from supervisors and co-workers may have a buffering effect. This study elucidates whether job strain and job factors affect physicians’ mental health, and whether support from supervisors and co-workers has a protective effect on their mental health. Material and Methods: The subjects included 494 physicians. The Brief Job Stress Questionnaire (BJSQ) was used to evaluate job demand, job control and support. High job strain was defined as a combination of high job demand and low job control. Depressive symptoms were assessed using the Patient Health Questionnaire-9. The Maslach Burnout Inventory- General Survey was used to evaluate burnout. Possible confounder adjusted logistic regression analyses were performed to obtain odds ratios for depressive symptoms and burnout. Results: As per the analysis, high job strain had significantly higher odds ratios, and support from co-workers had significant protective odds ratios for depressive symptoms. High job strain and having only 2–4 days off per month (compared to > 8 days off per month) had significantly higher odds ratios, and support from co-workers had significant protective odds ratios for burnout. Conclusions: High job strain was related to depressive symptoms and burnout, and support from co-workers had a buffering effect on depressive symptoms and burnout. An inadequate number of days off was related to burnout. Assessment of job strain may be a good tool to measure physicians’ mental health, and a sufficient number of days off may be needed to prevent burnout.

Opis:
Chronic constipation is one of the most common complaints among children. It is a cause of about 3% visits in paediatric outpatient clinic. The problem, which is often belittled, is an unpleasant and persistent complaint for both child and its family. The causes of constipation may be both organic and non-organic. Among non-organic problems, the most important is probably the chronic retention of faeces, which is made by incorrect hygienic habits, incorrect diet, and insufficient physical activity. The problem often appears when child’s environment changes, for example when child goes to kindergarten or school, which are the places where child for different reasons prevents from defecating. However, to make the final diagnosis, the organic causes should be definitely rejected, because they require causal treatment. Treatment of the most common functional constipation needs complex pharmacological and non-pharmacological methods. The therapy of constipation is usually long. The aim of therapy is to consolidate such model of defecation when child regularly deposits soft faeces without unpleasant pain. Extremely important is also a psychological support for whole family, often absorbed in difficult child’s problem. To achieve the therapeutic success a patient and conscientious cooperation between doctor and patient and his family is required, because positive and permanent effects of treatment are reached after a relatively long time.
Przewlekłe zaparcia są jedną z najczęstszych dolegliwości w populacji dziecięcej. Stanowią przyczynę około 3% wizyt w poradniach pediatrycznych. Problem, niejednokrotnie bagatelizowany, stanowi przykrą, uporczywą dolegliwość, zarówno dla pacjenta, jak i całej jego rodziny. Zaparcia mogą wynikać z przyczyn organicznych lub nieorganicznych. Wśród przyczyn nieorganicznych kluczowa wydaje się przewlekła retencja stolca, wynikająca ze złych nawyków higienicznych, niewłaściwej diety oraz zbyt niskiej aktywności fizycznej. Zaparcia często pojawiają się wraz ze zmianą otoczenia dziecka, np. po rozpoczęciu nauki w przedszkolu czy szkole, w których pacjent z różnych przyczyn powstrzymuje się od oddania stolca. W celu ustalenia ostatecznego rozpoznania należy wykluczyć przyczyny organiczne zaparć, które wymagają leczenia przyczynowego. Terapia najczęściej występujących zaparć o charakterze czynnościowym obejmuje zastosowanie kompleksowych metod farmakologicznych i niefarmakologicznych; zwykle jest długotrwała. Ma ona na celu utrwalenie takiego modelu defekacji, w którym pacjent regularnie oddaje miękki stolec bez przykrych dolegliwości bólowych. Niezwykle istotne jest wsparcie psychologiczne całej rodziny, niejednokrotnie zaangażowanej w trudny problem dziecka. Sukces terapeutyczny wymaga przede wszystkim cierpliwej i sumiennej współpracy pomiędzy lekarzem a pacjentem i jego rodziną, gdyż pozytywne i trwałe efekty leczenia osiągane są po stosunkowo długim czasie.

Aim: To study the in/direct relationship between fear of COVID-19 contraction and academic stress during the first wave of the pandemic. Method: The sample consisted of 835 university students (597 female students, 71.5%, M = 22.71 years of age, SD = 3.69). Data were gathered online by the questionnaire of the international study The COVID-19 International Student Well-being Study (C19 ISWS). Results: An above-average level of academic stress and a below-average gender-related level of fear of contracting the virus were found. The relationship between fear of contracting the virus and academic stress was serially mediated by loneliness and depressive symptoms. Conclusion: The findings stress the importance of monitoring the level of fear of virus contraction and the student-perceived perspective of academic achievement during actions taken by academic authorities to support the quality of teaching and students’ mental health.

Opis:
Zespół Turnera (ang. Turner’s syndrome, łac. syndroma Turner) spowodowany jest całkowitym lub częściowym brakiem jednego z chromosomów X we wszystkich komórkach organizmu lub w pewnej ich części. Występuje u 1 na 2000 – 2500 żywo urodzonych noworodków płci żeńskiej. Jest jedną z najczęstszych aberracji chromosomowych. Szerokie spektrum problemów zdrowotnych w tym zespole nakłada obowiązek zapewnienia pacjentce wielospecjalistycznej opieki medycznej Artykuł oparty jest na przeglądzie najnowszej literatury, a jego celem jest zwrócenie uwagi na to, że zaburzenia neurologiczne w tym neuropsychiatryczne oraz neuropsychologiczne, choć nie stanowią objawów osiowych w zespole to opracowywanie procedur medycznych dla tych nieprawidłowości powinno być uwzględnione w optymalnym modelu opieki nad pacjentkami z zespołem Turnera. Przeprowadzenie dalszych prac badawczych i poszerzenie wiedzy w tej dziedzinie może spowodować rozwój metod terapeutycznych, których zastosowanie z pewnością korzystnie wpłynie na codzienne funkcjonowanie chorych i poprawi ich jakość życia.
Turner’s syndrome is caused by the complete or partial absence of one of the X chromosomes in all or part of the body’s cells. It occurs in 1 in 2000 - 2500 live-born female babies and is one of the most common chromosome aberrations. The wide spectrum of health problems in this syndrome makes it necessary to provide the patient with multi-specialist medical care. The article is based on a review of the recent literature and its aim is to draw attention to the fact that the development of medical procedures for neurological, including neuropsychiatric and neuropsychological disorders, although they do not constitute axial symptoms in the syndrome, should be included in the optimal model of care for patients with Turner syndrome. Conducting further research and expanding knowledge in this field may lead to the development of therapeutic methods, the application of which will certainly have a beneficial effect on the daily functioning of patients and improve their quality of life.

Opis:
The study presented a patient with asymptomatic gastric cancer, in whom the first symptom was metastasis to the brain. The patient was initially diagnosed by a neurologist and subject to surgical intervention in the area of residence, where he underwent craniotomy with the excision of the metastatic lesions located in the occipital lobe. The histopathological examination revealed the presence of adenocarcinoma metastases. Following complex diagnostics the patient was diagnosed with cardial carcinoma, being subject to cerebral radiotherapy and chemotherapy. The patient was then referred to surgery at the Wielkopolska Cancer Center in Poznań. After final exclusion of disease dissemination (by means of PET-CT) the patient underwent total gastrectomy with D2 lymphadenectomy, and gastrointestinal tract reconstruction by means of the Roux-en-Y method. The histopathological examination result was as follows: tubular-papillary G2 adenocarcinoma (intestinal type), pT2 pN0 (23 evaluated lymph nodes without cancer metastasis), vascular neoplastic emboli, and positive HER2 protein expression. After surgery the patient was subject to adjuvant chemotherapy. Control brain CT examinations revealed the presence of 4 recurrent metastatic lesions-the patient was disqualified from stereotactic radiation therapy and was subject to palliative chemotherapy. The discussion presented the problem of treating patients with stage IV gastric cancer, including current management guidelines, as well as literature review concerning the treatment of patients with diagnosed gastric cancer and brain metastases.

Ojective. To investigate respiratory health problems related to pesticide exposure in the inhabitants of agricultural areas. Materials and method. This study included 252 participants prior to pesticide application and 66 participants from the first group after pesticide application across four cotton farms. Symptom questionnaires were filled out by participants and respiratory function tests were measured before and after pesticide exposure. In addition, PM10, PM2.5, air temperature, and humidity were measured in all four farming villages before and after pesticide administration. Results. PM10 and PM2.5 levels were significantly increased after pesticide application. After pesticide application, all participants’ nose, throat, eye, and respiratory complaints increased significantly. Expected forced vital capacity (FVC) and forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1) percentage values decreased significantly. The rates of FVC and FEV1 values lower than 80% were 23.5% and 22%, respectively, before pesticide application, and this rate increased to 42.4% and 43.1%, respectively, after pesticide application. There was a significant negative correlation between PM10 levels and FVC, FEV1, and PEF values. After PM2.5 pesticide application, the risk of experiencing burning in the mouth, nose, and throat increased by 2.3-fold (OR: 2.316), 2.6-fold for burning symptoms in the eyes (OR: 2.593), 2.1-fold for wheezing (OR: 2.153), and 2.2-fold for chest tightness (OR: 2.211). With increased PM10 levels, the risk of chest tightness increased 1.1-fold (OR: 1.123). Conclusions. After pesticide administration, the respiratory health of the participants deteriorated. Performing pesticide applications in agriculture with harmless methods is the most important measure to be taken to protect public health

Opis:
Background. Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is the most common gastrointestinal disorder that is driven by the gut- brain axis and affects 1-20% of the population. Most patients note that various foods elicit abdominal symptoms, and they eliminate these products from their diets. A diet that is low in fermentable oligosaccharides, disaccharides, monosaccharides and polyols (FODMAP) is currently one of the mainstays in IBS treatment. Objective. The aim of this study was to assess the knowledge of IBS patients about the disease, treatment and the principles of the low-FODMAP diet that can alleviate gastrointestinal symptoms. Material and methods. The participants were adults diagnosed with IBS, the inclusion criteria were: absence of comorbidities requiring an elimination diet, age over 18 years, and consent to participate in the study. The respondents filled out an anonymous questionnaire containing questions about the IBS diagnosis, disease history and treatment, as well as 45 questions assessing the participants’ knowledge about the low-FODMAP diet. Results. In 28% of the cases, IBS was diagnosed by a general practitioner; in nearly 40% of the cases – by a gastroenterology specialist; in 10% of the cases – by a dietitian, whereas the remaining respondents had arrived at the diagnosis independently or with the help of support groups for IBS patients. After diagnosis, only every fourth respondent sought treatment in a gastroenterology clinic. In the studied population, 237 of the respondents had followed to the low-FODMAP diet, and the differentiating factors were sex (p=0.002), place of residence (city with apopulation higher than 100,000 vs. rural area; p=0.0001) and education (university vs. vocational school p=0.0043). Respondents who had been recently diagnosed with IBS (less than 12 months vs. more than 12 months before the study) were more likely to follow the FODMAP diet. Conclusions. The surveyed population was characterized by high levels of knowledge about the low-FODMAP diet, but many respondents did not strictly comply with dietary guidelines, in particular the duration of each dietary phase. Age was significantly correlated with the respondents’ knowledge, and the participants’ familiarity with low-FODMAP guidelines decreased with age. Nutritional consultations did not significantly improve the respondents’ knowledge about the low-FODMAP diet.

Opis:
The aim of this article is to analyze the alcohol addiction of Erwin Sommer, the main character in the novel The Drinker by Hans Fallada. This article focuses solely on his alcohol-related problems, and not on that of his temporary stay in prison or in sanatorium. The analysis of Sommer’s alcohol addiction is based not only on literary studies and the biography of the writer but most of all on current medical studies concerning alcoholism. I also compare Erwin Sommer with another classic figure with respect to literature about alcoholism – Jack London and his famous autobiographical novel John Barleycorn. Although the symptoms of alcoholism by Erwin Sommer are actually typical, the aetiology of his alcohol addiction is not so obvious. For this reason, I attempt to discover the real genesis of his disease. The basis of my considerations are, among others, the classification of alcohol disease stages, developed by E. M. Jellinek, the precursor of alcoholism studies, the International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems ICD-10 created by the World Health Organisation (WHO) and the S3-Guideline, published by the Association of the Scientific Medical Societies, German Society of Psychiatry, Psychotherapy, Psychosomatics and Neurology, and German Society of Addiction Studies and Addiction Therapy. In current scientific articles and studies about alcohol-related problems, one can find plenty of details which are very helpful to fully understand Hans Fallada’s life and his fascinating and frightening report about the social, financial and personal fall of a human being.

An organizational change among 82 postal workers was studied with the aim of evaluating the effects on the work environment, work ability, and musculoskeletal complaints. The study was undertaken in 2 suburbs of Stockholm, Sweden. Psychological work demands were estimated to be reduced at the 1-year follow-up but physical work demands had changed very little. In an observation study in a subgroup of older workers, the risk of overexertion at work and musculoskeletal complaints was reduced. In spite of that, most of the older participants (>35 years) had unchanged or increased musculoskeletal symptoms. This shows the need for early preventive measures.

Introduction. The main purpose of this study was to investigate the respiratory effects of exposure to high airborne concentrations of wheat flour dust. Methods. This cross-sectional study was carried out at a local wheat flour mill in Shiraz, southern Iran. Thirty-five male workers exposed to flour dust and 32 healthy male nonexposed employees were investigated. The prevalence of respiratory symptoms among them was evaluated and parameters of their pulmonary function were measured. Moreover, to assess the extent to which subjects were exposed to flour dust, airborne concentrations of its inhalable and respirable fractions were measured.Results. Airborne concentrations of dust exceeded current permissible level. The prevalence of regular cough, productive cough, wheezing, phlegm and dyspnea was significantly higher in exposed subjects than in nonexposed employees. Similarly, both acute and chronic significant (p < .05) decrements in most parameters of pulmonary function were noted. Conclusions. Our findings provide corroborative evidence to further support the notion that exposure to flour dust is associated with a significant increase in the prevalence of respiratory symptoms as well as ventilator disorders of the lungs.

We analyzed the relationship between personality traits and smoking status and nicotine withdrawal symptoms using two comprehensive models of personality: the Five-Factor Model and the Cloninger`s Temperament and Character Inventory. In total 295 people were examined, 149 smokers and 146 who have never smoked. To measure the severity of the nicotine dependence we used the Fagerstroem Tolerance Questionnaire and the DSM-IV criteria of nicotine dependence and to measure the nicotine withdrawal symptoms the Nicotine Dependence History. The results showed significant differences between the groups in particular dimensions: Neuroticism, Agreeableness and Conscientiousness. The analyse of the TCI demonstrate, that smokers are higher in Novelty Seeking and lower in Reward Dependence than never smokers and show less Self-Directness and Cooperativeness. The mediation analyses showed that Self-Directness is the significant mediator between Extra-Introversion and nicotine withdrawal symptoms measured by NDHIS and between Neuroticism and DSMIV criteria of nicotine dependence.

Dyslexia manifests itself as an imbalance of skills whereby the dyslexic is unable to commit paper ideas and information which are commensurate with their intellectual ability as evidenced by spoken understanding or demonstration. Research shows that the dyslexic students in this study were all self – referred volunteers and presented with a classic picture of specific reading difficulties accompanied by spelling problems. Although on the basis of non - verbal ability (WAIS-R block design) they were generally of above average intelligence, their reading and spelling skills were significantly below average. The dyslexic students had more difficulty, reading non-words than controls but non-word spelling was at a similar level. It is important to note that the reading comprehension diffculties of dyslexic participants may not be apparent when they are tackling shorter texts. Longer passages will require the information that is necessary for the formation of integrative inferences to be held for longer in working memory. It was concluded that dyslexic students needs special tactics for teaching. Dyslexic students with strong visual/weak auditory processing skills. The degree of success which they experince is dependent on accurate assessment of their reading bahaviours and instructional strategies tailored to their reading characteristics. Student with certification or without certification, if it will manage claims of preliminary examinations and direction of study has been accepted on chosen by, it is subordinated in problem situation from good will leading, about respecting certification. Situation of dyslexic student in Poland is not comfortable, does not have legal regulations in this range.

Celem artykułu jest przedstawienie wyników badań własnych na temat poszukiwania związków pomiędzy doświadczonymi w życiu traumami a wzorcem objawów impulsywnych u kobiet chorujących na bulimię i zespół kompulsywnego objadania się.

Grupę badawczą utworzyło 120 kobiet chorujących na zaburzenia odżywiania: 60 kobiet w wieku od 20 do 28 lat z bulimią oraz 60 kobiet z zespołem kompulsywnego objadania się. Badania przeprowadzono w latach 2007-2014 w ośrodkach leczenia nerwic i zaburzeń odżywiania, poradniach zdrowia psychicznego na terenie Polski. W badaniach zastosowano wywiad kliniczny i metodę psychometryczną (Kwestionariusz Zaburzeń Odżywiania EDI D. Garnera, polskie oprac. C. Żechowski). Analiza statystyczna potwierdziła istnienie istotnych różnic między kobietami chorującymi na bulimię lub kompulsywnie objadające się, które jednocześnie doświadczyły w swoim życiu (szczególnie w dzieciństwie i okresie dorastania) traum psychicznych, a tymi, które tego rodzaju traum nie ujawniły. Diagnoza obecności traum relacyjnych w autobiografiach to ważny element do uwzględnienia w przebiegu procesu psychoterapii osób cierpiących na zaburzenia odżywiania (bulimię i kompulsywne objadanie się).
The aim of the article was to demonstrate results of the Author’s own study that sought relationships between having experienced psychological trauma and the impulsive symptoms in women suffering from bulimia and compulsive overeating . The basic research question was the following: To what degree are the trauma experienced by females with bulimia and symptoms, compulsive overeating related with these females’ impulsive symptoms? The sample comprised 120 females with eating disorders, particularly: 60 females aged between 20 and 28 diagnosed with bulimia nervosa, 60 females diagnosed with binge-eating disorder. The research was carried out in the years 2007-2014 in outpatient clinics treating neuroses and eating disorders and mental health outpatient clinics in Poland. The study employed clinical interview and psychometric methods (Eating Disorders Inventory D. Garnera, polish version C. Żechowski). Statistical analysis confirmed the existence of a higher frequency of impulsive symptoms in women with bulimia and binge-eating disorder who have experienced trauma(s) in their lives (particularly in their childhood and adolescence) and those who did not reveal such experience. Diagnosing the occurrence of relational trauma in patients’ autobiographies is a key element that should be involved in the process of psychotherapy for people with eating disorders.

Opis:
Introduction: The role of cross-reactive carbohydrate determinants (CCDs) in diagnostics of occupational allergy remains unclarified and its clinical relevance is still questioned. The aim of the study was to assess the frequency of positive response to CCDs in the subjects with suspected occupational allergy and the relationship between other diagnostic test results and final diagnosis. Material and methods: The study group included 201 patients. They underwent clinical examination, skin prick test (SPT) to common and occupational allergens, specific serum immunoglobulin (sIgE) determinations, spirometry and specific inhalation challenge test. Moreover, sIgE to CCDs from bromelain was assessed in all subjects. Results: Occupational respiratory allergy was recognized in 64.3% of CCD-positive and 52.4% of CCD-negative patients. Positive SPT results to common and occupational allergens were found in 64.3% and 35.7% of CCD-positive subjects, respectively. In all subjects with CCDs, the sIgE to grass pollens as well as to occupational allergens were detected. The total IgE level > 100 kU/l was significantly associated with the presence of sIgE to CCDs. Conclusions: sIgE to CCDs were found in 7% of subjects suspected to suffer from occupational respiratory allergy. The presence of CCDs is not significantly associated with occupational respiratory allergy. It is also not more frequent in subjects reporting work-related respiratory symptoms in whom occupational allergy was not confirmed. The elevated total IgE level was related with CCD positivity. In patients with suspected occupational allergy, the presence of sIgE to CCDs in serum did not indicate the irrelevance of positive sIgE to occupational allergens.

Opis:
Celem prezentowanego badania było poszukiwanie związków między nasileniem objawów nieuwagi i impulsywności/nadaktywności bądź zachowań opozycyjno-buntowniczych u dzieci w wieku szkolnym a podejmowanymi przez ich rodziców praktykami. Wzięło w nim udział 103 matki i 69 ojców. Byli oni rodzicami 108 dzieci w wieku 8-11 lat. W badaniu zastosowano narzędzia kwestionariuszowe, w tym polską adaptację The Alabama Parenting Questionnaire. Uzyskane wyniki wskazują na istnienie związku pomiędzy nasileniem objawów zachowań opozycyjno-buntowniczych występujących u dzieci a częstszym podejmowaniem przez matki praktyk negatywnych oraz rzadszym stosowaniem pozytywnych oddziaływań rodzicielskich. W grupie ojców nie otrzymano tak silnych zależności, mimo że stosowali oni niespójną dyscyplinę i kary cielesne częściej wraz ze wzrostem nasilenia zachowań opozycyjno-buntowniczych u dzieci. Zaobserwowano również związek między podejmowaniem przez matki niespójnej dyscypliny i słabej kontroli a większym nasileniem objawów nieuwagi i impulsywności/nadaktywności u dzieci. Zależności te nie wystąpiły w grupie ojców. Zgodnie z wcześniejszymi doniesieniami otrzymane wyniki pokazują silniejszy związek między podejmowanymi przez rodziców oddziaływaniami a nasileniem zachowań opozycyjno-buntowniczych niż nasileniem objawów nieuwagi i impulsywności/nadaktywności.
The aim of the current study was to determine the relationship between the intensity of symptoms of attention deficit, impulsiveness/hyperactivity, and oppositional or rebellious behaviours among school-age children and the practices undertaken by their parents. The participants were 103 mothers and 69 fathers. They were the parents of 108 children aged between 8–11 years old. In the study the questionnaires were used, among others the Polish version of The Alabama Parenting Questionnaire. The results point to a relationship between the intensity of oppositional or rebellious behaviours and more frequent negative practices implemented by mothers and also less frequent positive parental activities. Among the fathers’ group no such strong trends occurred, although fathers were more likely to use an incoherent discipline and a corporal punishment when the intensity of oppositional or rebellious behaviours of their children increased. Also, a relationship between an incoherent discipline and a weak control performed by mothers, with a higher intensity of attention deficit and impulsiveness/hyperactivity among their children emerged. No such relationship emerged among fathers. In accordance with the previous research, the current results suggest a stronger relationship between the actions taken by parents with the intensity of the oppositional or rebellious behaviours than with the intensity of attention deficit and impulsiveness/hyperactivity symptoms of children.

Opis:
Rice (Oryzae sativa L.) is one of important crops in the world and Ethiopia. Productivity of rice is decreasing due to different factors. It is second in production next to wheat in the world and almost half of world population and 90% of south Asia countries use rice. Disease like Rice blast and insect pests like stem borer are important pests for reduction of rice productivity. Integrated rice pest management (IPM) is the best method to solve problems of pests and it is combination of different methods to control pests in sound environmental management and cost effective way. Control methods like resistant cultivars, healthy seed, fertilizer management, cultural systems, burning or composting of diseased tissues and chemical control are commonly used.

Opis:
Background: As dental technicians are exposed to a variety of airborne chemicals that can act as irritants and sensitizers, and may give rise to work-related respiratory symptoms, the aim of this study was to estimate the prevalence of respiratory symptoms of exposure to substances in the workplace and associated risk factors in dental laboratory technicians. Material and Methods: A cross-sectional study was performed among 539 dental technicians in the Plovdiv region using a self-report questionnaire. A multiple logistic regression analysis was performed in order to investigate the relationship between sex, work experience, daily exposure to chemicals from the dental environment, and a history of atopic disorder with work-related respiratory symptoms. Results: A total of 539 dental technicians completed the questionnaire. The prevalence of self-reported work-related respiratory symptoms was 26.2%. Based on logistic regression, the most significant factors associated with work-related respiratory symptoms were daily exposure of >8 h (OR = 5.83, 95% CI: 1.96–17.34) and the lack of a ventilation system (OR = 4.26, 95% CI: 2.39–7.58). Dental technicians with work experience of <5 years more often reported work-related respiratory symptoms (OR = 1.83, 95% CI: 1.14–3.44) compared to those with long-term exposure of >20 years. A personal history of asthma (OR = 3.74, 95% CI: 1.39–10.07), allergic rhinoconjunctivitis (OR = 2.10, 95% CI: 1.29–3.41) and atopic dermatitis (OR = 2.32, 95% CI: 1.23–4.38) was also associated with work-related respiratory symptoms. Conclusions: The findings of this study suggest that work-related respiratory symptoms are frequent among dental technicians and occur early in their career. A more comprehensive study should be conducted throughout the country in order to estimate the prevalence, and to establish effective programs and techniques of preventing work-related respiratory symptoms in dental technicians.

Opis:
Cerebellopontine angle tumors are a group of tumors that originate from the posterior cranial fossa. Most of them are acoustic neuromas arising from the Schwann cell sheath of the vestibular branch of VIII cranial nerve. Those benign tumors usually present with unilateral hearing loss (53–57%), tinnitus (79–82%), and vertigo/imbalance (18–50%). The objective of this study was documentation-based evaluation of 53 out of 96 patients that received surgical treatment in the ENT Department of Medical University in Warsaw during the period from May 2012 to May 2014, with special consideration of vertigo/imbalance in relation to other symptoms. Statictical analysis has shown larger frequency of vertigo/imbalance in patients with mild to moderate hearing loss and positive corelation between the largest diameter of the tumor and the vestibular deficit in VNG (videonystagmography). The corelation of vestibular deficit in VNG and imbalance symptoms was only estabilished in the group with intrameatal localization of the tumor (T1).

Opis:
Objectives: Several studies, mostly based on questionnaire-derived data, have shown an increased risk of allergic diseases, especially asthma, among cleaners. The risk factors and etiological mechanisms are still being investigated. Occupational exposure to various chemical and biological agents may induce specific sensitization and/or irritant effects. The aim of our study was to estimate the prevalence of work-related symptoms suggesting the presence of allergic disease reported by cleaners, and to relate them to the results of commercially available and standardized objective tests used for screening detection of occupational sensitization and chronic respiratory disorders. Material and Methods: A cross-sectional study was performed among 142 Polish workers of cleaning service in their workplaces. A detailed questionnaire, skin prick tests to common allergens and chemicals used by these workers for cleaning purposes (chloramine T, chlorhexidine, formaldehyde, glutaraldehyde, benzalconium chloride), total and specific serum IgE antibodies to disinfectants and rest spirometry were performed in all the subjects. Results: Fifty nine percent of all the subjects declared occurrence of at least 1 symptom suggesting allergic ailment during cleaning activities at work. Skin prick tests and specific serum IgE antibodies to disinfectants were negative in all the subjects. In 8 cases wheezing was detected during auscultation, but only in 5 of them obstructive pattern in rest spirometry was found. Conclusions: Occupational allergic causation of symptoms among cleaners could be less likely than work-related symptoms associated with exacerbations of new-onset or pre-existing respiratory diseases. Therefore, in this group of workers, mainly the non-specific irritant impact of chemicals on airways should be taken into consideration.

Opis:
The purpose of this article is to find answers to two questions of practical nature regarding the effectiveness of psychotherapy by referring to research results. These questions are the following: (1) In the case of which mental disorders is there a need to increase the skills of coping with stress in order to prevent the recurrence of symptoms? (2) What would that increase in coping skills be based on? A review of research on the deferred effects of psychotherapy showed that, firstly, studies address only depressive disorders, and, secondly, that teaching different cognitive and behavioral skills is effective in preventing the recurrence of these disorders. A review of studies on the contribution of stress to the etiology of mental disorders showed that in case of 13 disorders the contribution of stress is confirmed by empirical evidence. The theoretical clinical literature suggests that stress contributes to the induction of symptoms in cases of a larger number of disorders. Based on a review of research on coping with stress in representative general populations of adults experiencing stressful situations or traumatic events, it was determined what the ability of effective coping with stress consists in. It consists in adapting appropriate coping strategies aimed at eliminating the stressor or at mitigating the negative emotions associated with stress. In psychotherapy, teaching this skill seems to be a promising method of preventing the recurrence of mental disorder symptoms whose formation is associated with stress.

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.

Background The authors aimed to explore carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) among electronic sports (esports) athletes, to compare hand symptoms and their severity between esports athletes and the control group and within the esports athletes, and to study the relationship between esports athletes’ variables. Material and Methods A cross-sectional survey study via telephone with systematic randomized approach was used for esport athletes sampling. Control group were non-esports athletes who do not use computer for prolonged duration. The survey consisted of sports athletes’ characteristics, hand symptoms and functions, and the Boston Carpal Tunnel Questionnaire (BCTQ). The unpaired student’s t-test, Mann-Whitney U test, and χ2 test were utilised for statistical comparison, with p < 0.05. Pearson’s and Spearman’s correlation coefficient tests were used for relationship analyses. Results Eligible participants were 198 out of 229. Compared to control group, esport athletes reported more CTS (p = 0.01), and radiated pain and numbness in their hands (p = 0.05). Males complained of hand symptoms (p < 0.01) and its radiation (p < 0.01) more than females among esports athletes. Higher BCTQ Symptom Severity Scale (BCTQ-SSS) scores were reported for esports athletes who had been playing esports for prolonged periods compared to those who had playing recently (p = 0.003), with a moderate positive correlation (+0.59, p = 0.004). A significant moderate positive correlation was reported for BCTQ Functional Severity Symptoms (BCTQ-FSS) scores in terms of hours of playing (+0.44, p = 0.04). Esports athletes who used armrests and a PC with a controller for gaming reported less hand symptoms and had milder BCTQ scores than those who used a PC with a keyboard/mouse. Generally, esports athletes spend 5–10 h/day on gaming. Conclusions Esports athletes might be at risk of developing upper-extremity nerve compression and CTS. Prolonged playing, hours of playing, type of esports device, and using armrests are possible risk factors.

The study aimed to replicate our research findings of 2019 by comparing the incidence of emotional disorder symptoms and global trait emotional intelligence (EI) and assessing the closeness of relationships of the observed variables in the context of the new COVID-19 pandemic situation. The data were gathered by self-report tests measuring levels of fears (KSAT), anxiety (STAI), depression (CDI) and trait emotional intelligence (TEIQue-ASF) in Slovak adolescents (N 270) aged 18 to 20 years (AM 18.42; SD 0.59) before (N 138) and during (N 132) the COVID-19 pandemic. Results revealed an increased incidence of emotional disorders (situational anxiety, stage fright, fear, and trait anxiety) and also a decreased level of global trait EI in the pandemic of 2019. Strong negative relationships were identified between global trait EI and trait anxiety (r -0.578; p ≤ .001), as well as medium negative relationships with overall fear (r 0.398; p ≤ .01) and stage fright (r 0.398; p ≤ .01). There were weak or no relationships between global trait EI and the other variables. Thus, higher global trait EI is related to a lower incidence of symptoms of specific emotional disorders. Our findings point to the validity of implementing socio-emotional learning elements into secondary school students' education.

Opis:
Bacteriologist’s and clinician’s point of view to infection is variable. What about bacterial infection throat and tonsil? Characteristic: Bacteriologist: Acute pharyngitis and tonsillitis (APT) mainly caused by viruses (rhinovirus, adenovirus, influenza and parainfluenza viruses, RSV). Bacterial etiology is only in 10–30%. The most common bacterial etiologic factor is Streptococcus pyogenes. The gold diagnostic standard is the throat swab culture with antibiogram. Clinician: The infection usually occurs through droplets. The incubation period continues from 12 hours to 4 days. The diagnosis is based on symptoms: sore throat, fever, headache, malaise, slight enlargement of the cervical lymph nodes. On clinical examination: swollen and congested mucous membrane of the throat. Treatment: Bacteriologist: Correct swabbing the throat has a major impact on the entire diagnostic process. We take the swab from the surface or tonsil crypts. Swab is seeded and incubated at 35–37°C. The first assessment is in 18–24 hours. In the GP practice the rapid diagnostic tests (RADT) streptococcal antigen detection clinic may be helpful. Clinician: the first step is limiting the spread of infec‑tion (elimination of contact), second – symptomatic treatment, if there is S. pyogenes etiology, the first-line treatment is fenoksymetylpenicylina (p.o. or .iv.) In case of hypersensitivity, macrolides should be used. Azithromycin: Bacteriologist: Azithromycin is macrolide, and including the spectrum of the most common pathogens causing pharyngitis and tonsillitis. Clinician: Azithromycin is an effective drug in APT, commonly used at a dose: in children (10 mg/kg once daily for three days), and adults (1×500 mg – three days). Recent studies suggest a better antibiotic activity double dose (cumulative dose – 60 mg/kg/treatment). These two approaches (bacteriologist and clinician) complement each other.
Spojrzenie bakteriologa i klinicysty na infekcje bywa różne. W pracy zaprezentowano opinie obu specjalistów na temat bakteryjnego zapalenia gardła i migdałków. Charakterystyka: Bakteriolog: Ostre zapalenie gardła i migdałków (OZGM) głównie wywołują wirusy (rynowirusy, adenowirusy, wirusy grypy i paragrypy, RSV). Tylko 10–30% przypadków ma etiologię bakteryjną. Najczęstszym czynnikiem etiologicznym bakteryjnego zapalenia jest Streptococcus pyogenes. Za złoty standard diagnostyczny uchodzi badanie bakteriologiczne – posiew wymazu z gardła z antybiogramem. Klinicysta: Do zakażenia najczęściej dochodzi drogą kropelkową, okres inkubacji wynosi od 12 godzin do 4 dni. Rozpoznanie ustala się głównie na podstawie objawów: bólu gardła, gorączki, bólów głowy, złego samopoczucia, niewielkiego powiększenia węzłów chłonnych szyi. W badaniu przedmiotowym stwierdza się obrzękniętą i przekrwioną błonę śluzową gardła, czasami z nalotami. Postępowanie: Bakteriolog: Prawidłowe pobranie materiału do badania bakteriologicznego ma zasadniczy wpływ na całość procesu diagnostycznego. Wymaz pobiera się z powierzchni lub krypt migdałków. Pobrany wymaz jest posiewany i inkubowany w temperaturze 35–37°C. Pierwszą ocenę przeprowadza się po 18–24 godzinach. W ambulatorium pomocne mogą być szybkie testy diagnostyczne (RADT) wykrywające antygen paciorkowcowy. Klinicysta: Kluczowe jest ograniczenie szerzenia się zakażenia (wyeliminowanie kontaktu), leczenie objawowe. W OZGM o etiologii S. pyogenes lekiem pierwszego rzutu jest fenoksymetylopenicylina (p.o. lub i.v.). W przypadku nadwrażliwości należy zastosować makrolidy. Azytromycyna: Bakteriolog: To makrolid, obejmujący w spektrum działania najczęstsze patogeny wywołujące OZGM. Klinicysta: Skuteczny lek w OZGM, stosowany w dawce: u dzieci 10 mg/kg mc. raz na dobę przez 3 dni, u dorosłych 1×500 mg przez 3 dni. Ostatnie badania sugerują lepsze działanie podwójnej dawki antybiotyku (dawka kumulacyjna – 20 mg/kg/raz na dobę przez 3 dni). Podsumowując, należy stwierdzić, że te dwa spojrzenia – klinicysty i bakteriologa – uzupełniają się.

Opis:
The authors present the classification, symptoms and diagnostic methods of renal injuries. These injuries can be life-threatening, but most of them are mild and can be managed conservatively. No less than 75% patients who were diagnosed with renal injuries are men. The group which is particularly exposed to renal injuries are young men doing sports, the injured of road accidents, victims of accidents in the house or at work, victims of fights and assaults. The results of conducted studies indicate that haematuria, pain and ecchymosis in the lumbar region, fractured ribs as well as abdominal mass can be the symptoms of renal injury. There are blunt and penetrating renal injuries as well as a 5-level classification of kidney injuries according to a degree of injuries – AAST. This classification enables to perform a standardization of different patient groups to choose a proper therapy and to predict the results of treatment. The mechanism of injury, its placement and severity are the standard guidelines within a choice of diagnostic methods and indications for treatment’s strategy. The imaging examinations are necessary in diagnostics of abdomen injuries with a suspicion of renal injury. Among the imaging examinations used in diagnostics of injuries of urogenital system and renal injuries it is to enumerate: ultrasonography, computed tomography, urography, arteriography and angiography. Computed tomography of abdomen with contrast injected into an intravenous line is a gold standard in diagnostics of renal injuries. If computed tomography is not available, it is recommended to perform ultrasonography as an examination of first choice.
Autorzy przedstawiają klasyfikację, objawy i metody diagnostyczne urazów nerek. Urazy te mogą zagrażać życiu, jednak większość z nich ma łagodny przebieg i można je leczyć zachowawczo. Aż 75% pacjentów, u których stwierdzono uszkodzenia nerek, to mężczyźni. Grupę szczególnie narażoną stanowią młodzi mężczyźni uprawiający sport, uczestnicy wypadków drogowych, ofiary wypadków w domu lub w miejscu pracy, ofiary bójek i napadów. Z przeprowadzonych badań wynika, że objawami urazu nerek mogą być: krwiomocz, bóle i zasinienia w okolicach lędźwiowych, złamania żeber, napięty brzuch. Wyróżnia się urazy tępe i penetrujące oraz pięciostopniową klasyfikację urazów nerek według stopnia odniesionych obrażeń – AAST. Klasyfikacja ta pozwala na dokonanie pewnej standaryzacji różnych grup pacjentów i wyboru właściwej terapii oraz stwarza możliwość przewidywania wyników leczenia. Mechanizm urazu, jego umiejscowienie i ciężkość stanowią podstawowe wytyczne w wyborze metod diagnostycznych oraz postępowania leczniczego. Niezbędnym elementem diagnostyki urazu jamy brzusznej z podejrzeniem uszkodzenia nerek jest wykonanie badań obrazowych. Wśród badań obrazowych mających zastosowanie w diagnostyce urazów układu moczowo-płciowego oraz nerek należy wymienić: ultrasonografię, tomografię komputerową, urografię, angiografię i arteriografię. Tomografia komputerowa jamy brzusznej z dożylnym podaniem środka cieniującego stanowi złoty standard w diagnostyce urazów nerek. Przy braku dostępności tomografii komputerowej zalecane jest wykonanie ultrasonografii jako badania pierwszego rzutu.

Opis:
The paper is devoted to the physical aspects of asceticism and mystical experience of Prussian female mystic, the blessed Dorothy of Montau, analysed based on the detailed and vivid description of John Marienwerder. It makes an attempt of hypothetic identification of actual character of somatic effects of visions and mystical unions with Christ (sweating, hot flushes, pain) with special consideration of spiritual “stabbings” of heart (and other bodily parts) with arrows and spears of Divine Love and the symptom of enlarged womb. The interpretation by John Marienwerder, rooted in the medieval knowledge of physiology and set in categories of the bridal mysticism, made a considered apology of the Prussian recluse. In effort to reinterpret the somatic symptoms described by medieval theologian, this paper controverts also the attempt of their evaluation and analysis appearing in contemporary scientific literature employing methods of the so called psycho-history. Most likely neither the female psychology nor the religious hysteria were responsible for the carnal symptoms described by John Marienwerder. The mystic throughout all her life heroically struggled with the consequences of scalding she had suffered as a child and of multiple childbirth intertwined with carnal mortifications, however the main cause of her painful experiences most probably was a progressing heart disease. Its increasing untreated symptoms (natural history of illness) can be identified in the writings by John Marienwerder and analysed in the light of contemporary medical knowledge. The holiness of the recluse manifested not only in the sphere of asceticism, renouncement, zealous religious practice and contemplation, but also in transmitting the corporal suffering of somatic origin into the sphere of deep spiritual experience based on the idea of Compassio Christi.

ObjectivesIntoxication with novel psychoactive drugs poses a significant challenge for medicine due to diagnostic difficulties, complex clinical patterns resulting from the polyethiology of poisoning, and the risk of fatal complications.Material and MethodsThe authors of the present work have made a retrospective review of medical records of the patients hospitalized at the Toxicology Unit (TU), diagnosed with poisoning by novel recreational drugs.ResultsIn 2008–2013, 576 patients diagnosed with that type of poisoning were admitted to the TU. Of those, 192 (33.3%) patients were positive for ethanol in addition to the most popular toxins found in the material collected from the patients, such as tetrahydrocannabinol (50 [8.6%] patients) and amphetamine (35 [6.1%] patients). The most frequent clinical symptoms observed on admission were: anxiety (433 [75.1%] patients), agitation (275 [47.7%] patients), and complaints associated with the circulatory system (225 [39.1%] patients). In the subgroup of 104 (18.0%) psychiatrist-interviewed people, a relationship was found between the suicidal ideation reported during history-taking and the following factors: earlier psychiatric treatment (p = 0.000), financial problems (p = 0.015) and prolonged unemployment (p = 0.022).ConclusionsThe observed clinical pattern may be associated with sympathomimetic syndrome due to poisoning by novel psychoactive substances. Preliminary results of this research show that financial problems and a history of psychiatric treatment may enhance suicidal ideation in patients after acute poisoning by psychoactive substances.

Introduction. It was established that intragestational depression is a common disease, with the estimated average prevalence of 10–25% in all expectant mothers worldwide. Aim of the study. The aim of the study was to evaluate the frequency of depressive symptoms in pregnant women in Poland and to identify which factors may be related to a higher risk of depressive symptoms during pregnancy. Material and methods. A prospective cross-sectional study was performed. Depressive symptoms were assessed with the validated Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS). 346 women were enrolled in the study. Results. 130 women (37.6%) scored 13 or more points and were considered as presenting with depressive symptoms. Independent risk factors of depressive symptoms during pregnancy including mood disorders diagnosed before the current pregnancy (aOR=2.68, 95%CI 1.37-5.22), mental disorders confirmed in family members (aOR=2.72, 95%CI 1.24-5.98), unhappiness in their current relationship (aOR=4.0, 95%CI 1.77-9.01), lack of support from family members (aOR=2.73, 95%CI 1.51-4.96) increased the risk of DS and good financial status decreased the risk of DS occurrence (aOR=0.45, 95%CI: 0.25-0.80). Conclusions. Pregnant women commonly report depressive symptoms. The evaluation of relations with the family members, socio-economic status, former depressive symptoms and possible prenatal depression are essential for proper screening of depression in pregnant women.

Introduction: According to the specialists, our health condition is significantly determined by our lifestyle. Consequently, prevention, health promotion and pro-health behavior pattern advertising are the priorities that should be taken into account while dealing with the modern health care system. The aim of this study was to analyse the women’s attitudes towards the prevention of the female reproductive system diseases. Research Material and Methods: The research was conducted among women from four gynecological wards. These women were hospitalized because of the need of diagnosis and/or treatment within the genital organ. A diagnostic survey was applied as a research method. The instrument for data collection was a specially designed questionnaire. Results: Most of the respondents were women who saw a gynecologist because of the disease symptoms (85,2%). Most women (29,6%) saw a doctor within 1-2 months after having observed anxious symptoms and 20% of respondents had been waiting until 10 months or even longer before they saw a specialist. The most women (46,4%) who did not see a doctor immediately (1-3 days), in spite of complaints, claimed that the reason for that was their negligence. Conclusions: 1. In spite of complaints, the most of respondents did not visit a gynecologist immediately; 2. Negligence and low health awareness were the main reasons for delaying a visit to the specialist; 3. To change women’s attitudes towards the health protection, it is necessary to acquire the ability of having preventive examinations in a systematic way; 4. In order to increase the women’s attendance at the reproductive system preventive examinations, it is recommended to carry out educational activities supported by the application of the modern mass media.
Wstęp: W ocenie specjalistów, styl życia w największym stopniu determinuje stan zdrowia człowieka. Z tego względu zagadnienia profilaktyki, promocji zdrowia i propagowania zachowań prozdrowotnych zalicza się do priorytetowych zadań współczesnego systemu ochrony zdrowia. Celem pracy była analiza zachowań kobiet w zakresie profilaktyki chorób żeńskich narządów płciowych. Materiał i metoda: Grupę badaną stanowiły pacjentki czterech oddziałów ginekologicznych. Badane kobiety hospitalizowane były z powodu potrzeby diagnozowania i/lub leczenia chorób w obrębie narządu rodnego. Metodą badawczą był sondaż diagnostyczny. Zastosowano kwestionariusz ankiety według własnego opracowania. Wyniki: W badanej populacji przeważały kobiety, które zgłosiły się do lekarza ginekologa w związku z wystąpieniem objawów choroby (85,2% kobiet). W analizowanej grupie, najwięcej kobiet (29,6%) udało się do lekarza w ciągu 1-2 miesięcy po wystąpieniu niepokojących objawów, a około 20% respondentek czekało aż 10 miesięcy lub dłużej zanim zgłosiły się do specjalisty. Wśród badanych, które mimo odczuwanych dolegliwości nie zgłosiły się natychmiast (1-2-3 dni) do lekarza, najwięcej kobiet (46,4%) jako główny powód swojego zachowania wymieniło zaniedbanie. Wnioski: 1. Mimo odczuwanych dolegliwości większość respondentek nie zgłosiła się natychmiast do lekarza ginekologa. 2. Zaniedbanie i niska świadomość zdrowotna kobiet były głównymi przyczynami odwlekania wizyty u specjalisty. 3. Warunkiem uzyskania zmiany zachowań kobiet w zakresie ochrony własnego zdrowia jest nabycie umiejętności systematycznego zgłaszania się na badania profilaktyczne. 4. W celu zwiększenia frekwencji kobiet w profilaktycznych badaniach narządu rodnego należy stale prowadzić działania edukacyjne z wykorzystaniem nowoczesnych środków masowego przekazu.

Opis:
Marfan syndrome is a disorder of the connective tissue (fibrillins and elastins). It is an autosomal dominant disease associated with a defect of chromosome 15 which encodes fibrillin-1. The syndrome is characterised by a varying extent of connective tissue disorders. A mutation in the gene encoding connective tissue can be manifested in all organs irrespective of the patient’s age. This disorder is characterised by multiple symptoms manifested mainly in the cardiovascular and skeletal systems as well as in the organ of vision. Ghent criteria are commonly recognised in the diagnosis of Marfan syndrome. Moreover, clinical symptoms reported by patients should also be considered. Patients presenting at the office of a general practitioner with symptoms resembling Marfan-like syndromes should undergo a detailed medical interview for the presence of cardiovascular diseases in the family. A general practitioner should examine the patient, drawing particular attention to organs that are frequently affected by disorders of connective tissue encoding (chest, oral cavity and general body stature). The family of a patient with Marfan syndrome should be referred to a genetic clinic to conduct tests for the presence of gene mutation. The diagnosis of Marfan syndrome in neonates is complex since not all symptoms of the syndrome are clinically manifested. In female patients with Marfan syndrome, pregnancy is contraindicated if the size of the aorta exceeds 50 mm. In other cases, women must be informed about possible risks and monitored for a change in the width of the aorta. Sometimes, procedures of prophylactic aortic replacement on its entire course are conducted prior to a planned pregnancy. Regular echocardiographic check-ups (every 4–7 weeks) as well as cooperation of a gynaecologist and cardiologist are necessary. A general practitioner should inform the patient’s family about any sudden conditions that can develop in the course of Marfan syndrome (aortic dissection) and explain to them the algorithms of management (immediate call for an ambulance).
Zespół Marfana wynika z wady tkanki łącznej (fibryliny, elastyny). Choroba najczęściej przenoszona jest w sposób autosomalny dominujący, związany z defektem chromosomu 15 kodującego białko fibrylinę-1. Cechą charakterystyczną zespołu jest różnorodna ekspresja zaburzeń tkanki łącznej. Mutacja w genie kodującym tkankę łączną może objawić się we wszystkich narządach, niezależnie od wieku pacjenta. Zaburzenie to cechuje się mnogością objawów, manifestujących się głównie w układzie krążenia i kostno-stawowym, a także w narządzie wzroku. Powszechnie przyjętymi kryteriami rozpoznawania zespołu Marfana są kryteria Ghenta. Ocenie powinny zostać poddane także objawy kliniczne zgłaszane przez pacjenta. Osoby zgłaszające się do lekarza pierwszego kontaktu z symptomatologią zespołów marfanopodobnych powinny przejść dokładny wywiad medyczny pod kątem chorób sercowo-naczyniowych występujących w rodzinie. Lekarz rodzinny powinien zbadać pacjenta, zwracając szczególną uwagę na narządy najczęściej dotknięte zaburzeniem kodowania tkanki łącznej (klatka piersiowa, jama ustna, ogólna budowa ciała). Rodziny pacjentów z zespołem Marfana należy skierować do poradni genetycznej w celu przeprowadzenia testu na obecność mutacji. Diagnostyka noworodków jest skomplikowana, z uwagi na fakt, że nie wszystkie symptomy zespołu Marfana demonstrują się klinicznie. U pacjentek ze stwierdzonym zespołem Marfana ciąża jest przeciwwskazana, gdy wymiar aorty przekracza 50 mm. W innych przypadkach pacjentkę należy poinformować o istniejącym ryzyku oraz monitorować zmiany w szerokości aorty. Przed planowaną ciążą wykonuje się czasami zabieg profilaktycznej wymiany aorty na całym przebiegu. Nieodzowna jest stała kontrola echokardiograficzna (co 4–7 tygodni) oraz współpraca lekarza ginekologa i kardiologa. Lekarz pierwszego kontaktu powinien wyjaśnić rodzinie chorego stany nagłe mogące wystąpić w przebiegu zespołu Marfana (rozwarstwienie aorty) oraz wytłumaczyć algorytmy postępowania (natychmiastowe wezwanie pogotowia).

Purpose. The aim of this study was to investigate musculoskeletal symptoms and working conditions of university workers with and without contact with an Erggi action model. Methods. A quasi-experimental and longitudinal field study design examined effects of the Erggi action model with 3 types of questionnaires filled by 1000 university workers. The statistical analyses used logistic regression. Results. Subjects who had contact with the Erggi action model had a higher probability of weekly musculoskeletal symptoms impairing their work, perceived more possibilities to influence their musculoskeletal symptoms and had lower risk for sick leave compared to those without contact with the Erggi action model. Conclusions. The Erggi action model increases the probability of influencing workers’ musculoskeletal symptoms, decreases the number of sick leave and increases awareness of musculoskeletal symptoms and working conditions.

Opis:
Objective: Exposure to Second Hand Smoke (SHS) has been associated with an increased risk of respiratory symptoms, upper and lower respiratory tract diseases and an increased risk of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. The majority of cases of mortality and morbidity is attributable to exposure of adults to SHS and is related to cardiovascular diseases and lung cancer. In Egypt, comprehensive smoke-free laws exist, however, in many workplaces they are poorly enforced consequently exposing workers to the detrimental health hazards of SHS. We aimed at determination of workplace exposure to Second Hand Smoke (SHS) and its association with respiratory and sensory irritation symptoms in hospital workers in Port-said governorate in Egypt. Material and methods: A cross-sectional face to face survey was conducted by the use of a standardised questionnaire among 415 adult hospital workers; representing 50% of all employees (81% response rate); recruited from 4 randomly selected general hospitals in Port-said governorate in Egypt. Results: All hospitals employees reported exposure to SHS - on average 1.5 (SD = 2.5) hours of exposure per day. After controlling for potential confounders, exposure to SHS at work was significantly associated with an increased risk of wheezes (OR = 1.14, p < 0.01), shortness of breath (OR = 1.17, p < 0.01), phlegm (OR = 1.23, p < 0.01), running and irritated nose (OR = 1.14, p < 0.01) as well as a sore, scratchy throat (OR = 1.23). Conclusions: These findings point out that workplace exposure to SHS is evident in hospitals in Port-said governorate and that workers are adversely affected by exposure to it at work. This underlines the importance of rigorous enforcement of smoke-free policies to protect the workers' health in Egypt.

Objectives To identify blood lead predictors and the prevalence of neuropsychiatric symptoms in firearm users of public security in Mexico. Material and Methods A cross-sectional study was performed on 65 males. We obtained socio-occupational data and determined venous blood lead (blood (B), lead (Pb) – BPb), as well as neuropsychiatric symptoms using the Q-16 questionnaire. A multiple linear regression model was constructed to assess determinants of BPb. Results The mean age in the study group was 34.8 years (standard deviation (SD) = 6.9, range: 21–60); the mean number of years spent in the company amounted to 14 years (SD = 8.5, range: 1–48). Twenty percent of the respondents (N = 13) used leaded glazed clay pottery (lead (Pb), glazed (G), and clay pottery (C) – PbGC) in the kitchen. During practice they fired a mean of 72 shots (SD = 60, range: 20–250), and during their whole duration of employment 5483 shots (SD = 8322.5, range: 200–50 000). The mean BPb was 7.6 μg/dl (SD = 6.8, range: 2.7–51.7). Two caretakers from the firing range had 29.6 μg/dl and 51.7 μg/dl BPb. The subjects who had shooting practice sessions ≥ 12 times a year reported a greater percentage of miscarriages in their partners (24% vs. 0%). Twelve percent of the respondents showed an increase in neuropsychiatric symptoms. The BPb multiple linear regression model explained R² = 44.15%, as follows: those who had ≥ 12 practice sessions per year – β = 0.5339 and those who used PbGC – β = 0.3651. Conclusions Using firearms and PbGC contributes to the increased BPb in the studied personnel. The determinants of BPb were: shooting practices >12 times a year and using PbGC. Blood lead concentrations reported in the study, despite being low, are a health risk, as evidenced by the prevalence of neuropsychiatric symptoms.

Introduction. Researchers who study the problems of Internet addiction point out that this dependence is often co-morbid with symptoms of a variety of pathological disorders, including anxiety, depressive, somatization, and obsessive-compulsive disorders. The goal of this study was to compare the severity of psychopathological symptoms in individuals at risk of Internet addiction (according to Young’s criteria) and those not at risk of developing this addiction with respect to gender and place of residence (urban vs. rural). Materials and method. The study included a group of 692 respondents (485 females and 207 males). The average age of the participants was 20.8 years. 56.06% of them lived in urban areas and 43.94% in rural areas. The following instruments were used: a sociodemographic questionnaire designed by the authors, Young’s 20-item Internet Addiction Test (IAT, Polish translation by Majchrzak and Ogińska-Bulik), and the “O” Symptom Checklist (Kwestionariusz Objawowy “O”, in Polish) by Aleksandrowicz. Results. Individuals at risk of Internet addiction showed significantly more severe pathological symptoms than the individuals who were not at risk of this addiction. There were differences in the severity of psychopathological symptoms between people at risk of Internet dependence living in urban and rural areas. Conclusions. Individuals at risk of Internet addiction were found to be characterized by a significantly higher severity of obsessive-compulsive, conversion, anxiety, and depressive symptoms. Persons at risk of Internet addiction who lived in rural areas had significantly more severe psychopathological symptoms, mainly obsessive-compulsive, hypochondriac and phobic, compared to their urban peers.

The aim of the study was to establish whether any relation exists between depression symptoms and the extent to which adolescents accept the changes their bodies undergo (the physical changes they experience at different stages of growing up), and if the connection does exist – is it gender-related. Method: Data were collected from four sub-groups: younger girls (aged 12–13), older girls (aged 17–18), younger boys (aged 12–13), and older boys (aged 17–18). The participants were asked to complete questionnaires that allow to measure the subjective intensity of depression symptoms (BDI), the current stage of biological changes (the Tanner scale) and whether these changes are accepted by the individual who experiences them (the original Feelings Towards the Body questionnaire). Results: The less adolescents accept the changes in their bodies, the higher depression symptoms they demonstrate. For younger girls, older girls and older boys, no links were established between levels of accepting bodily changes and early/late maturation (in comparison with the population of their peers). For younger boys, the later the stage of their development, the less likely they are to accept the changes in their bodies. Girls report more intense depression symptoms than boys do, but their levels of accepting changes that occur around puberty are significantly lower only when compared to those of older boys. Conclusions: Whether biological changes during puberty (mainly feelings of anxiety and shame related to the body) are accepted or not, was proven to be a significant predictor of more intense depression symptoms.

Objectives The humidifier disinfectant catastrophe in South Korea was a social disaster caused by toxic chemical substances. The present study aimed to examine the relationships between psychological symptoms and adaptive life functioning in survivors of humidifier disinfectants. This study examined the differential effects of psychological symptoms on life adjustment between survivors of humidifier disinfectant and the general population. Material and Methods A total of 452 individuals (228 general and 224 survivor groups) participated in this research. This study utilized the Adult Self-Report, one of the most widely used comprehensive mental health scales for measuring both psychological symptoms (e.g., anxiety/depression) and life adjustment functioning (e.g., interpersonal relationship). For the data analysis, multi-group structural equation modeling analysis was conducted using AMOS 21.0 program. Results The results of this study indicated that attention problems out of 8 psychological symptoms was the only significant factor related to life adjustment in both general and survivor groups. In addition, there was a significant 2-way interaction effect of group status and somatic complaints on life adjustment. Conclusions When the somatic complaint symptom was higher, participants in the survivor group were less likely to adjust in life than the general group. Taken together, the somatic complaints of the survivors more strongly influence the life adjustment than the general population. Finally, the authors discuss practical implications for survivors of humidifier disinfectants for designing suitable intervention strategies.

Opis:
Desmoplastic small round cell tumor (DSRCT) is an extremely rare malignancy rated among the sarcomas. It was first described in 1989. As there are only a few hundred cases reported in world literature, to date there are no uniform standards of management of patients presenting with such a diagnosis. This malignancy is characterized by a extremely aggressive clinical course. The disease affects mainly young males in their second and third decade. Most often described primary location of DSRCT is abdominal cavity. Identified cytogenetic marker of DSRCT is translocation t(11;22)(p13q12). Therapy relies in surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy. In spite of continuous progress in the treatment of DSRCT, prognosis in this group of patients is still very poor. High propensity to dissemination already at the time of first diagnosis considerably reduces the effectiveness of surgical excision and all patients require systemic treatment. Chemotherapy usually resorts to cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, ifosfamide and etoposide (their combination is known as “protocol P6”). Other cytostatics of confirmed effectiveness in the treatment of DSRCT are cisplatin, carboplatin, topotecan, vinorelbine and irinotecan. In spite of clear clinical activity of chemotherapeutics, eventually all patients develop resistance to implemented treatment and suffer disease progression. Therefore, selection of optimal treatment for this group of patients remains a considerable clinical challenge.
Desmoplastic small round cell tumor (DSRCT) jest bardzo rzadkim nowotworem zaliczanym do rodziny mięsaków. Po raz pierwszy został opisany w 1989 roku. Ponieważ w światowej literaturze przedstawiono dotychczas kilkaset przypadków, do chwili obecnej nie ma jednoznacznych standardów postępowania z pacjentami z tym rozpoznaniem. Nowotwór ten charakteryzuje się bardzo agresywnym przebiegiem. Choroba dotyka głównie młodych mężczyzn. Szczyt zachorowań przypada na drugą i trzecią dekadę życia. Najczęściej opisywaną pierwotną lokalizacją DSRCT jest jama brzuszna. Zidentyfikowanym cytogenetycznym markerem DSRCT jest translokacja t(11;22)(p13q12). W leczeniu ogromną rolę odgrywają chirurgia, radioterapia i chemioterapia. Pomimo ciągłego postępu w leczeniu DSRCT rokowanie w tej grupie chorych nadal pozostaje bardzo złe. Duża skłonność do rozsiewu choroby już w chwili jej rozpoznania ogranicza skuteczność postępowania chirurgicznego, dlatego wszyscy pacjenci wymagają leczenia systemowego. W chemioterapii wykorzystuje się najczęściej cyklofosfamid, doksorubicynę, winkrystynę, ifosfamid i etopozyd (kombinacja tych leków znana jest pod nazwą protokołu P6). Innymi cytostatykami wykazującymi aktywność w leczeniu DSRCT są cisplatyna, karboplatyna, topotekan, winorelbina i irinotekan. Mimo wyraźnej aktywności klinicznej chemioterapeutyków praktycznie u wszystkich chorych po pewnym czasie rozwija się oporność na stosowane leczenie i dochodzi do progresji choroby. Z tego powodu dużym wyzwaniem staje się wybór optymalnego leczenia dla tej grupy pacjentów.

Opis:
Millions of men across the world suffer from enlarged prostate or benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) that causes lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS). Medications and surgical procedures for BPH have serious side effects, reducing quality of life and wellbeing. 10 years empirical evidence and outcomes of a clinical study have shown effectiveness of innovative Thermobalancing therapy (TT) with Dr Allen’s therapeutic device (DATD) to treat the cause of BPH. Dynamics of urinary symptoms by International Prostate Symptom Score, quality of life (QoL), ultrasound prostate volume (PV mL) and uroflowmetry (maximum flow rate, Qmax mL/s) were evaluated at the beginning and end of the study in 124 patients who received TT for 6 months, comparing with no-treatment group. TT has diminished PV from 45 mL to 31 mL (P<0.001) and the urinary symptoms from 14.2 to 4.9 (P<0.001), increased Qmax 8.1 to 17.7 mL/s (P<0.001) and improved QoL from 3.9 to 1.3(P<0.001). Thus, the obtained data explores the substantial positive changes in PV and urine flow rate and, consequently, the significant improvement of urinary symptoms and QoL after use of TT with DATD as mono-therapy. Given the lack of side effects after use of DATD, which should be expected after BPH drugs and operations, it should be stated that TT should be used worldwide as first line treatment for men with LUTS due to BPH to improve men’s health and wellbeing.
