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.
