Opis:
Sjogren’s syndrome (SS) is a complex connective tissue disease with autoimmune background and high clinical, radiological and molecular heterogeneity. SS is typically manifested by sicca syndrome, characterized by dry eyes and dry mouth due to autoimmune-induced inflammation of the lacrimal and salivary glands. Complications of sicca syndrome are dental caries, oral candidiasis, dysosmia, dysgeusia, difficulties in swallowing and chewing. SS may coexist with other diseases of rheumatoid and autoimmune etiology. SS is linked to an 16-fold increased risk of non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Early diagnosis results in appropriate treatment and may slow down the course of the disease and limit extraglandular involvement. Due to diverse clinical phenotypes and symptomatology, establishing of the diagnosis is often difficult. In 2016 the AmericanEuropean Consensus Group (AECG) and European League Against Rheumatism (EULAR) proposed a classification system that defines SS as a systemic disease. Diagnostic tools in establishing SS diagnosis are serological tests, ultrasonography, Schirmer’s test, unstimulated whole saliva flow rate and Ocular Staining Score. The complete curing of SS is still not possible. As a complex multisystem disease, SS requires multidisciplinary cooperation and individual diagnostic and therapeutic approaches in patients. Therapy is focused on the treatment of symptoms and prophylaxis of complications. The laryngological treatment of oral cavity symptoms in SS include supervision of proper oral hygiene habits and adequate fluids supplementation. The EULAR Sjögren’s syndrome disease activity index (ESSDAI) and Clinical Oral Dryness Score(CODS) are used to monitor disease progression and treatment effectiveness.

Opis:
Delusional misidentification syndrome (DMS) is an umbrella term for syndromes of intermetamorphosis, Fregoli, and Capgras. DMS) is thought to be related to dissociation between recognition and identification processes. DMS was described for the first time in 1932 as a variant of the Capgras syndrome and is currently on the DSM-V list of diseases as an independent disease entity. Patients affected by DMS believed that people around them, most often family, have changed physically (appearance) and mentally (character). Other symptoms include confabulation, derealization or depersonalization. In patients, aggressive behavior is often observed, aimed at alleged doppelgangers resulting from the sense of being cheated and manipulated. With the intermetamorphosis syndrome, for example, schizophrenia, depression, bipolar disorder or other misidentification syndromes (Fregoli's, Capgras) may coexist. There is also a reverse intermetamorphosis, where the object of the changed appearance or character becomes the patient himself. One of its forms may be lycanthropy. The etiology of the intermetamorphosis has not been fully understood, one of the reasons may be brain damage and changes in the parietal and/or temporal lobes of the right hemisphere. It may then damage long neuronal connections to the frontal areas of the brain, disturbances of working memory (WM) accountable for the keep and online management of data, so that it is available for further processing, and the patient's will be uncritical. The basic method of diagnosis of this delusion is a medical interview with the patient. Other diagnostic methods include computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, EEG and ERPs. Experimental methods include searching for the neuromarker of DMS. Currently, there are no treatment guidelines of this delusional disorder, and pharmacotherapy experimental, but the drugs from the group of neuroleptics and lithium seem effective. Some hope for the treatment is created by neurotherapy, but it is also experimental.

In these considerations, I undertake a polemic with thinking based on the assumption that the value of scientific achievements can be measured with almost mathematical accuracy and give fully reliable point indicators for them. It is not only part of those who introduce the current reform of higher education and science in Poland, but also experts who support them, as well as some representatives of science and natural sciences. This thinking was called point syndrome and expert syndrome. Although it was diagnosed as a manifestation of academic disease a few years ago, it still not only finds its supporters, but also translates into activities, which in some scholars cause astonishment, in others indignation, and still strong opposition in others.

Opis:
Dry eye syndrome is a group of medical conditions that can be caused by many factors, as a result of which there is an abnormality in moisturizing of the eye surface by a tear film. One of the causes of this disorder is Sjögren’s syndrome, which is an autoimmune disease in which the body produces antibodies against its own proteins. The glands of external secretion, mainly lacrimal and salivary glands are damaged as a result of inflammation. Associated with this side effects, affect negatively and reduce the quality of life, which is why in the following article we present the available therapeutic options for patients suffering from ophthalmological manifestations of Sjögren’s syndrome.

Introduction: The aim of the study was to assess the effectiveness of surgical treatment of patients with Eagle’s syndrome, taking into account both early and late results. Material and methods: The study group consisted of 15 patients who underwent resection of the styloid process due to Eagle syndrome in the period of 2005–2017. During the follow-up visit, the patients were asked to fill in a post-operative questionnaire that compared the pre-operative symptoms and their severity with the patients’ current health condition. The VAS pain scale was used to assess each symptom, and the Laitinen scale was used to assess the quality of life. Data from patients’ medical records were also included. The results of the surveys were subjected to statistical analysis. Results: The study showed that in 11 out of 15 cases there was a significant improvement in the level of pain (70.5% on average) and an improvement in quality of life (on average 65%) comparing to the pre-operative condition. The Wilcoxon test for binding pairs, the Mann-Whitney test, the Kruskal-Wallis test and the Spearman correlation coefficient were used in the statistical analysis. There were statistically significant correlations between the recorded improvement rate and the length of the resected styloid process and its setting. Discussion: The study proved that resection of prolonged styloid process from extraoral approach in most cases is an effective method of treatment of Eagle syndrome, that carries low risk of complications.

BACKGROUND: Dizziness is the second most frequent symptom that make patients seek specialized examination. The effective solution of dizzy conditions requires treatment in cooperation with different branches of medicine. OBJECTIVE: To analyze data from the database of patients with vertigo examined in the Hearing and Balance Disorder Centre in Ostrava, to find out whether, and in what factors, the sets of patients with diagnosed central and peripheral vestibular syndrom differ from each other. METHODS: Retrospective study that was carried out from October 2012 to February 2013. The data was gathered from documentation of all vertiginous patients who were examined by an otoneurologist. RESULTS: The statistically significant difference between the two sets was found in: occurrence of hypertension and mild obesity, impaired hearing and otitis media, stabilometric testing CONCLUSIONS: There was a statistically significant difference between the sets with the central and peripheral vestibular syndrome in the frequency of occurrence of hypertension, impaired hearing, otitis media, in mild obesity categorization and in balance disorders. There was not any statistically significant difference found in the other observed factors. The results confirm the need of a multidisciplinary approach to patients with vertigo.

Opis:
Introduction: Endocrine and metabolic paraneoplastic syndromes in the course of malignant tumors result from ectopic production of hormones or hormone precursors in tumor cells. Production of hormones by endocrine tumors is relatively frequent, while such production by adenocarcinoma cells is definitely rare. The study presents a case of triple-negative invasive breast cancer, with the ectopic secretion of ACTH (adrenocorticotropic hormone), which provokes serious metabolic disorders. Materials and methods: The patient was admitted to hospital with symptoms of Cushing`s syndrome. Diagnostic tests revealed that the cause of metabolic disorders was breast cancer. After proper preparation, the patient was qualified for surgery. Results: After the mastectomy, the patient’s metabolism stabilized. The patient underwent adjuvant chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Four months after the last cycle of systemic treatment, cancer dissemination was found. The patient was treated with second-line chemotherapy, however, control CT revealed progression. The patient died 20 months after surgery and two months after the last cycle of chemotherapy. Conclusions: The case reported in this study – triple-negative invasive breast cancer, responsible for ectopic production of ACTH and causing Cushing’s syndrome – is a rare phenomenon. Treatment of patients with breast cancer showing hormonal activity should not differ from general rules applied for breast cancer. However, due to accompanying metabolic disturbances, the patients need individualized oncological approach, precise diagnostic tests, and adequate preoperative preparation.

ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome
Opis:
Introduction: Ascites is observed in cancer patients as well as in other non-neoplastic processes. In some patients, it may cause severe symptoms that can become directly life-threatening. The assessment of the degree of ascites seems useful in the determination of treatment effects as well as in the monitoring of fluid accumulation and early planning of decompression procedures. Aim: Determination of the clinical usefulness of a quantitative method of determining the degree of ascites, so-called Ascites Index. Material and methods: The Ascites Index is an ultrasonographic way of assessing the grade of ascites. The examination result is an index which is analogous to the amniotic fluid index determined in pregnant patients. The Ascites Index was determined in patients with ascites in the course of stage III–IV ovarian carcinoma (7 patients) and ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (12 patients). Results: The patients with ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome required decompressive paracentesis at the median Ascites Index above 290 mm (range: 216–386 mm). In the patients with ovarian carcinoma, the median value of the Ascites Index at which paracentesis was required was 310 mm (range: 273–389 mm). To avoid complications associated with excessive protein loss, 2000 mL of fluid was evacuated at a single occasion. Following the procedure, the median value of the Ascites Index was 129 mm (range: 121–145 mm) in the patients with ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome and 146 cm (119–220 mm) in cancer patients. Conclusions: The proposed index is simple and rapid to determine. It makes evaluation of the degree of ascites considerably easier. Moreover, it only minimally burdens patients and enables assessment of the effect of decompression or treatment. It seems that this method might be useful also in the assessment of ascites caused by other factors, but this requires further clinical studies.
Wstęp: Wodobrzusze jest objawem występującym u chorych z chorobą nowotworową, obserwowanym także w procesach nienowotworowych. W nielicznej grupie pacjentów wywołuje silne dolegliwości, które mogą bezpośrednio zagrażać życiu. Przydatność oceny wielkości wodobrzusza wydaje się uzasadniona w określaniu efektów leczenia, a także w monitorowaniu narastania płynu i wcześniejszym planowaniu procedur odbarczających. Cel: Wykazanie klinicznej przydatności metody ilościowego oznaczania wielkości wodobrzusza – indeksu wodobrzusza (ascites index). Materiał i metody: Indeks wodobrzuszajest ultrasonograficznym sposobem oceny wielkości wodobrzusza. Badanie wykonuje się, tworząc indeks analogiczny do indeksu płynu owodniowego u ciężarnej. Ascites index oznaczano u pacjentek z wodobrzuszem w przebiegu raka jajnika w stopniu III–IV (7 pacjentek) oraz zespołu hiperstymulacji jajników (12 pacjentek). Wyniki: Przy wartości mediany indeksu wodobrzuszapowyżej 290 mm (zakres: 216–386 mm) pacjentki z zespołem hiperstymulacji jajników wymagały wykonania odbarczającej punkcji jamy otrzewnej. U pacjentek z rakiem jajnika wartość mediany indeksu wodobrzuszawymagająca paracentezy wyniosła 310 mm (zakres: 273–389 mm). Aby uniknąć komplikacji związanych z nadmierną utratą białka, jednorazowo upuszczono 2000 ml płynu. Po paracentezie u pacjentek leczonych z powodu zespołu hiperstymulacji jajników wartość mediany ascites indexwyniosła 129 mm (zakres: 121–145 mm), natomiast u kobiet z rakiem jajnika wartość tę oszacowano na 146 cm (119–220 mm). Wnioski: Zaproponowany indeks jest prosty i szybki do wykonania, znacznie ułatwia oszacowanie wielkości wodobrzusza, minimalnie obciąża osoby badane, a także umożliwia ocenę efektu odbarczenia lub leczenia. Wydaje się, że metoda ta będzie przydatna również w ocenie wielkości wodobrzusza spowodowanego innymi czynnikami niż analizowane, wymaga to jednak dalszych badań klinicznych.

Violence is beyond any doubt a social phenomenon which does not have any moral, territorial, or religious borders. Experiencing violence in childhood often determines undertaking destructive behaviours by an individual.

Opis:
Paraneoplastic syndromes consist of disorders that accompany benign and malignant tumours, but are not directly related to mass effects or invasion by the primary tumour or its metastases. The pathophysiology of mostly paraneoplastic syndromes is not well known. The usual mechanism of their development is the aberrant production of substances (protein hormones, hormone precursors or hormone-like substances) by tumour tissue or autoimmune disorder. The neurological paraneoplastic syndromes are autoimmune disorders that can affect almost any part of the nervous system. The endocrine paraneoplastic syndromes are often certain clinical syndromes like paraneoplastic hypercalcaemia or the aberrant production of hormones by cancers. Many haematologic conditions, including anaemia, leucocytosis, thrombocytopenia or thrombocytosis, coagulapathy have been reported in association with cancer. Also paraneoplastic rheumatic syndromes have been reported in association of cancer. Skin can be involved in cancer in different ways: by metastases, as a part of a genetic disorder with a cutaneous component in which there is an inherited predisposition to the later development of malignancy, as a part of an acquired syndrome due to the toxicity of a carcinogen that induces malignant change and accompanying skin changes, as a consequence of immunosuppression, or by the development of specific lesions that occur as a paraneoplastic syndromes The most frequently diagnosed dermatologic conditions include acrokeratosis paraneoplastica, Sweet’s syndrome and paraneoplastic pemphigus. The purpose of this article is to describe the most popular in internal clinical practice neurologic, endocrine, haematologic, rheumatologic and dermatologic paraneoplastic syndromes associated with cancer.

Opis:
Introduction. Fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS) and myofascial pain syndrome (MFPS) can be ranked among disease entities being difficult to diagnose clinically, manifesting themselves mainly through pain in specific hypersensitivity points. Aim. To present the current state of medical knowledge about pain spots appearing on hypersensitive points of soft tissue in the context of selected disease entities. Summary of the knowledge. MFPS is defined as sensory, motor and autonomic complaints, caused by the occurrence of trigger points (TrP). Yet the FMS is stated during the anamnesis on the basis of generalized pain, and pressure achiness of at least 11 out of 18 tender points (TP) of precisely determined location. Patients with FMS report numerous additional complaints – apart from the above mentioned ones; these are however highly non-specific and are not confirmed during routine medical check-ups. There are also no laboratory tests that can confirm presence of TrP being characteristic to MFPS and differentiating it from other muscles’ disease entities. Such points are identified only with the use of palpation. Unfortunately while examining a patient this way TrP – being symptoms of MFPS – can be quite easily confused with TP – being symptoms of FMS. Patients with MFPS which is developing in consequence of long-lasting global disorder of muscle tension balance and sensitivity of nociceptors as a result of chronically remaining pain, frequently suffer from achiness fulfilling the criteria of generalized pain. Moreover – in effect of static overload of soft tissues (especially of tonic muscles) – there occur hypersensitive palpable areas (points). Stimulating them cause lively reaction of the patient. Described symptoms can suggest a suspicion of FMS – the more so that making a diagnosis of MFPS does not exclude its coexistence. Having this in mind, there is a pretty large group of authors who raise a supposition that the differential diagnosis between TrP and TP should be observed in the quantitative rather than in the qualitative categories, despite the still binding definition and nomenclature. Recapitulation. Looking at the MFPS and at the FMS from the perspective of evolution of knowledge about them and from the point of view of period when scientific researches were conducted and their results published, it must be stated that during last years a considerable progress has been obtained in scope of better understanding of pathogenesis and pathophysiology of pain in specified points of soft tissue hypersensitivity, and the parallel clinical studies – confirming the hypotheses that were made – clearly increased the diagnostic and therapeutic capabilities of clinical practice.

Opis:
Being a component of many proteins and enzymes, iron is an essential microelement for humans. However, this element can also be toxic when present in excess because of its ability to generate reactive oxygen species. This dual nature imposes a strict regulation mechanism of the iron concentration in the body. In humans, systemic iron homeostasis is mainly regulated on the level of intestinal absorption. A patient diagnosed with excess iron in the body should be treated safely and effectively. And the therapy should be consistent with the treatment of concurrent diseases. On the other hand, iron deficiency is one of the most common disorders affecting humans. Iron-deficiency anaemia continues to represent a major public health problem worldwide, being prevalent among pregnant women, where it represents an important risk factor for maternal and infant health. A problem detecetd relatively recently and therefore not fully clarified yet is the iron therapy in patients with restless legs syndrome (RLS). RLS is a common neurological condition defined clinically as the urge to move the legs. Reduced brain iron is strongly associated with restless legs syndrome. RLS can also be a consequence of iron deficiency in the body. This review will focus on iron as an element whose abnormal metabolism or deficiency in the body can lead to diseases e.g. anaemia, restless legs syndrome and iron overload. Here we will describe methods of therapy, paying particular attention to the types and dosages of medications.
Żelazo jest podstawowym mikroelementem organizmu ludzkiego, stanowi bowiem istotny element wielu białek i enzymów. Jednak pierwiastek ten może wykazywać działanie toksyczne, gdy występuje w nadmiarze, ze względu na jego zdolność do generowania reaktywnych form tlenu. Ten podwójny charakter żelaza narzuca ścisłą regulację stężenia żelaza w organizmie. U ludzi homeostaza ustrojowa żelaza jest głównie regulowana na poziomie wchłaniania jelitowego. Pacjent, u którego zdiagnozowano nadmiar żelaza w organizmie, powinien być poddany bezpiecznemu i skutecznemu leczeniu, które jest zgodne z terapią współistniejących schorzeń. Niedobór żelaza jest jednym z najczęstszych zaburzeń dotykających ludzi. Niedokrwistość spowodowana niedoborem żelaza nadal stanowi istotny problem zdrowia publicznego na całym świecie. Szczególnie dotyczy kobiet w ciąży, stanowiąc istotny czynnik ryzyka dla zdrowia matki i dziecka. Stosunkowo nowym i nie do końca wyjaśnionym zagadnieniem jest terapia żelazem chorych na zespół niespokojnych nóg (RLS). Jest to stan neurologiczny klinicznie określany jako przymus poruszania nogami. Z zespołem niespokojnych nóg związana jest ściśle redukcja żelaza w mózgu. RLS może być również konsekwencją niedoboru żelaza w organizmie. W pracy omówiono nieprawidłowy metabolizm żelaza lub jego brak w organizmie, co może prowadzić do ww. jednostek chorobowych. Opisano również metody terapii, zwracając szczególną uwagę na rodzaj i wielkość dawki proponowanych leków.

Opis:
Kounis syndrome (KS) is an acute coronary syndrome developing as a consequence of an anaphylactic or allergic reaction. Multiple mediators (especially histamine) released by mast cells, platelets, and some immune cells may lead to coronary vasospasm or thrombosis and cause an acute coronary syndrome. A clinical case of the KS in a hospitalized patient being treated for the COVID-19-associated pneumonia is presented. A 62-year-old woman was treated for COVID-19-associated pneumonia. In 15 min after the beginning of the Moxifloxacin infusion, the patient complained of severe headache, crushing chest pain, abdominal pain, severe general weakness, shortness of breath. Hypotension and decrease in SpO2 developed. Immediately performed ECG showed the ST-segment elevation in leads I and aVL. There were reciprocal changes in leads III, aVF, V3-V6. Troponin I was slightly elevated. Coronary angiography showed no hemodynamically significant coronary artery lesions. The KS type 1 was diagnosed. Repeated ECG in 2 hours showed isoelectric ST segments in all leads. It may be difficult to diagnose KS. Clinical signs of an allergic or anaphylactic reaction should raise the suspicion of KS. Moxifloxacin as well as other fluoroquinolones may be associated with the development of KS. We suggest a possible association of COVID-19 with KS. However, this issue requires further observation.

Opis:
Cholelithiasis is diagnosed in 10% of the population of the USA and Western Europe. A rare but serious complication of cholelithiasis is the obstruction of the digestive tract caused by a gall-stone (Bernard syndrome). It can add up to 1-4% of the mechanical obstructions of a small intestine among the general population but it can result in nonstriangulational mechanical obstructions of a small intestine in 25% cases among the patients over the age of 65. 5 patients have undergone an operation due to a small intestine gall-stone ileus in years 2011-2013 (within 27 months) in the General Surgery Ward of the Beskid Oncology Center - Municipal Hospital. In 4 patients simple enterotomy with a gall-stone extraction was performed. In the fifth patient enterolitotomy was conducted together with cholecystectomy and fistulotomy.

iliac crest pain syndrome
Opis:
Background: Iliac crest pain syndrome is a regional pain syndrome that has been identified in many patients with low back pain. Based on anatomical studies, it was suggested that the potential substrate of this syndrome might be the enthesis of the erector spinae muscle at the posterior medial iliac crest. As there have been no imaging studies of this important enthesis, our aim was to assess its characteristics by ultrasound. Methods: Erector spinae enthesis was first studied in a cadaver. Then its characteristics were recorded in 25 healthy volunteers (median age: 28.92, SD: 5.31, mean Body Mass Index 22.61, SD: 3.38), with Esaote My Lab 7 machine using linear transducer (4–13 MHz). Results: The cadaver study confirmed the attachment of a substantial part of erector spinae to a well-defined region on the medial posterior iliac crest. The US study in the volunteers consistently showed the entheses as typical hyperechoic fibrillar structures, slightly oblique to the skin in the longitudinal plane and attaching to the iliac crest. In the transverse plane, the entheses were seen as oval, densely dotted structures in contact with the superior edge of posterior superior iliac spine. Their mean thickness (4.9 ± 0.6 and 5.2 ± 0.7 mm longitudinally; 4.3 ± 0.6 and 4.4 ± 0.7 mm transversely), maximum width (16.3 ± 2.8 and 15.7 ± 2.3 mm) and depth (10.8 ± 7.3 and 10.6 ± 6.2 mm) on the left and right side, respectively, as well as their echostructure were recorded and described. Conclusions: The erector spinae entheses could be assessed in detail by ultrasound, thus their pathological transformation associated with iliac crest pain syndrome could be identified.
Wprowadzenie: Zespół bólowy grzebienia biodrowego jest często rozpoznawany u pacjentów z bólem okolicy lędźwiowo-krzyżowej. Na podstawie badań anatomicznych wysunięto hipotezę, że podłożem tego zespołu może być przyczep mięśnia prostownika grzbietu do tylno-środkowej części grzebienia biodrowego. Ponieważ dotychczas nie przeprowadzono badań obrazowych tej ważnej entezy, naszym celem była ocena jej charakterystycznych cech w badaniu ultrasonograficznym. Metoda: Przyczep mięśnia prostownika grzbietu zbadano najpierw na zwłokach. Następnie uzyskano jego obrazy ultrasonograficzne u 25 zdrowych ochotników (mediana wieku: 28,92, OS: 5,31; średnie BMI: 22,61, OS: 3,38) za pomocą aparatu Esaote MyLab 7, przy użyciu głowicy liniowej (4–13 MHz). Wyniki: Badanie na zwłokach potwierdziło lokalizację przyczepu istotnej części mięśnia prostownika grzbietu do wyraźnie określonego obszaru znajdującego się na tylno-środkowej części grzebienia kości biodrowej. Badania ultrasonograficzne wykonane u zdrowych osób każdorazowo uwidoczniały przyczepy jako typowe hiperechogeniczne włókniste struktury, położone nieco skośnie w stosunku do skóry w przekroju podłużnym, łączące się z grzebieniem kości biodrowej. W przekroju poprzecznym przyczepy były widoczne jako owalne, drobnopunktowe struktury stykające się z górną krawędzią kolca biodrowego tylnego górnego. Odnotowywano, odpowiednio po stronie lewej i prawej, ich średnią grubość (4,9 ± 0,6 oraz 5,2 ± 0,7 mm w przekroju podłużnym; 4,3 ± 0,6 oraz 4,4 ± 0,7 mm w przekroju poprzecznym), maksymalną szerokość (16,3 ± 2,8 oraz 15,7 ± 2,3 mm) oraz głębokość (10,8 ± 7,3 oraz 10,6 ± 6,2 mm), jak również opisywano ich echostrukturę. Wnioski: Szczegółowa ocena ultrasonograficzna przyczepów mięśnia prostownika grzbietu może pozwolić na rozpoznawanie patologii tej struktury będących przyczyną zespołu bólowego grzebienia biodrowego.

Opis:
Introduction. Xerostomia is one of the most common and disturbing adverse effects of systemic diseases and their therapies. This complication markedly increases the risk for dental caries, difficulties with chewing, swallowing and sleep disorders with a significant impact on the patient’s quality of life. Sjögren’s syndrome (SS) is a systemic autoimmune disease that primarily affects the exocrine glands, resulting in dryness of the mouth due to lymphocytic infiltration of the salivary glands. Aim. The aim of this paper is to present the current recommendations in diagnosing and treating SS-related xerostomia. Material and methods. Analysis of literature Results. For the assessment of SS-related xerostomia, only an unstimulated salivary flow with rates of 0.1 mL/min is included in the current SS classification criteria. Saxon test, sialography, ultrasonography of salivary glands play supporting function. Treatment of SS -related xerostomia includes an application of secretagogues and the implementation of specific dental prophylaxis measures. Adjuvant therapies include herbal remedies, photobiomodulation, and acupuncture. Conclusion. Treatment of SS requires multidisciplinary care. There is no fully effective treatment of xerostomia that provides immediate and long-lasting results.

Opis:
Liver transplant provides a definitive therapeutic measure for patients with chronic and acute liver diseases. Apart from the improvement of overall health, an organ transplant entails several metabolic complications. They are multi-agent and depend, among others, on the function of organ being transplanted, adverse effects of immunosuppression being applied, organ complications induced by failure of the organ being transplanted, current treatment, concomitant diseases and consequences of the acute and chronic rejection processes. Improvements in surgical techniques, peritransplant intensive care, and immunosuppressive regimens have resulted in significant improvements in short-term survival. Focus has now shifted to address long-term outcomes of liver transplantation. Therefore, this paper presents the current review of literature referring to specificity of the prevalence of metabolic syndrome and its complications in patients after liver transplantation.

IBS
Opis:
Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) belongs to functional gastrointestinal disorders and is characterized by abdominal pain and change in stool consistency and/or bowel habits. Etiological factors include gastrointestinal peristalsis disturbances, visceral hypersensitivity, chronic inflammation of the mucous membrane, dysbacteremia, intestinal infections, psychosomatic and nutritional factors. Gastrointestinal motility disturbances in case of IBS are manifested by the inhibition of the intestinal passage, which favors the development of constipation or occurrence of diarrhea. The aim of the study was to evaluate IBS symptoms and demonstrate the relationship between physical activity and place of residence amongst Warsaw University students. Material and methods. The study was conducted in march, 2014 using a specific questionnaire, amongst Warsaw University students. The study group comprised 120 female patients, aged between 19 and 27 years (M=23.43; SD=1.29). The chi-square test was used for analysis, p<0.05 was considered as statistically significant. Results. The BMI of investigated patients ranged between 16.30-31.22 kg/m2 (M=21.27; SD=2.71). The majority of respondents (76.6%) weighed within the normal limits. Abdominal pain or discomfort occurred more frequently in the group of students who considered their physical activity as low. In case of respondents with a low physical activity bowel movement disorders and stool continence changes occurred more often, as compared to those with moderate physical activity. The most common symptom was rectal tenesmus, the least common-presence of mucous in the stool. Analysis showed that students with low physical activity were more frequently absent from school/work, due to abdominal symptoms. The respondents with moderate activity more often considered their abdominal symptoms, being associated with stress. Conclusions. IBS symptoms are common amongst Warsaw University students. In case of respondents with low physical activity, abdominal pain or discomfort occurred more often. It has been demonstrated that diet and stress might contribute to the occurrence of abdominal symptoms, being evidence of IBS.

Opis:
The goal of the study was twofold: 1) to evaluate the QEEG/ ERPs indexes of functional brain impairment in a TBI patient diagnosed with chronic lost cognitive control and lost self caused by post traumatic, and here increasing over time, delusional misidentification syndrome concluded with Cotard syndrome in the blooming stage, with nihilistic delusions concerning the body and existence, and the delusion of being dead, and 2) to explore the mind of a patient whose identity has been disengaged, and who experiences the loss of his self and relations with his immediate surroundings with all the tragic consequences that entails. I herein present a 52-year-old patient, who – after a serious head injury due to a car accident 20 years ago, which re- sulted in focal injuries in the frontal and temporal areas of the right hemisphere – developed Cotard syndrome. After arousal from a 63-day coma and 98 days of post-traumatic amnesia, he manifested: (1) the loss of autobiographical memory, (2) a lost self, (3) forgotten family ties (including his lover). The study revealed that the patient’s cognitive control system is completely destroyed: no cognitive components have been found. Recall from memory has been completely disturbed (a low amplitude of N170). The two hemispheres work inco- herently with the right hemisphere revealing a serious delay in memory recall.

Opis:
Cough is the most common symptom of the upper and lower airway diseases. In its nature, cough is a defence re-flex mechanism of the respiratory tract that is used to clear the upper and lower airways. Chronic cough, defined as cough lasting for more than 8 weeks, is reported in 3–40% of the general population and has an important impact on patients’ quality of life, by causing anxiety, physical discomfort, social isolation and personal emabarrassment, be-ing an often medical complaint and one of the most common reasons for outpatient visits. Upper airway cough syn-drome, asthma, eosinophilic bronchitis and gastroesophageal reflux diseases account for most chronic cough after excluding somking, angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor use and chronic bronchitis. Many patients have more than one reason for chronic cough. Some complex diagnostic procedures, in many individuals are necessary to rec-ognized the cause/causes of chronic cough and to establish the accurate diagnosis, which implies a higher chance of effective treatment. Despite detailed diagnostic procedures, in many cases, the efficacy of chronic cough treatment is questionable and ambiguous. We observe not always satisfactory response to therapy. There are some coughs that seem refractory despite an extensive work-up. The possibility of hypersenitive cough reflex response, defining pa-tients with Cough Hypersensitivity Syndrome has been proposed to explain these cases, rather resistant to cough treatment, previously known as idioapthic cough or refractory, unexplained cough. The concept of Cough Hypersen-sitivity Syndrome helps us to understand the mechanisms underlying cough and provides better therapeutic options to treat chronic cough, like neuromodulating drugs, and speech therapy.

Opis:
Introduction. Patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS) is a disorder of the front compartment of the knee joint with incompletely investigated, probably multifactorial pathogenesis. It mostly affects young people and runners. In patients with PFPS conservative management is a therapy of choice with fundamental importance of physiotherapeutic procedures. Therapy should be highly individualized and considering all possible factors that may cause PFPS symptoms. Aim. The aim of this report was presentation of management of a 23 year old female patient with PFPS that developed secondary to a knee sprain. The medical history, diagnostic and therapeutic procedures were thoroughly described, then obtained results were presented and thereafter discussed. Methods. Clinical assessment included functional and provocative tests of the patellofemoral joint as well as thigh and calf muscles tests, range of motion measurement of the knee joint and pain assessment using the VAS scale. Therapeutic management included 5 sessions of post-isometric muscle relaxation (PIR), mobilizations of the patella and applications of elastic tapes. Results. After 5 sessions of therapeutic management PFPS symptoms were significantly reduced. Pain did not occur during normal activity, whereas in heavy joint loading, it occurred later and was of lower intensity. Range of motion as well as subjective sense of joint stability was also improved. Conclusions. Individually adjusted conservative management based on PIR techniques, mobilizations of patella and kinesiotaping seems to be effective form of therapy for PFPS of functional nature

Opis:
Background: Dizziness, numbness, and paresthesia of upper limbs are common symptoms in patients who undergo physiotherapy. Most of the symptoms are caused by neurological and skeletomuscular diseases. Subclavian steal syndrome is a rare case of such symptoms. Aim of the study: This study aimed to analyze how to proceed with symptomatic patients suspected of subclavian steal syndrome. Material and methods: Medical documentation was used. Case report: A 69-year-old patient, long term cigarette smoker, with the anamnesis of spine surgery due to discopathy, atherosclerosis of the lower extremities, and hypertension was referred to our hospital due to exacerbation of coronary artery disease. During his stay in the cardiac department, after smoking a cigarette, he felt pain and numbness in his left arm. He began intense movement of this hand, and then lost consciousness. A difference in pulse filling and blood pressure between the upper extremities was noted. In a duplex Doppler study, reversal flow in the left vertebral artery due to stenosis of the left subclavian artery was found. Angio-CT of the head vessels confirmed a significant stenosis of the proximal left subclavian artery. The patient was referred for further treatment to a Vascular Surgery Clinic. Conclusions: The subclavian steal syndrome is a rare cause of dizziness and paresthesia of the upper extremities. Physiotherapy procedures on the affected limb can exacerbate neurological symptoms. It is easy to identify the disease based on differences in pulse amplitude and blood pressure between upper limbs. Diagnosis should be established before proceeding with physiotherapy, due to the fact that some procedures can worsen the patient’s condition.

Opis:
Introduction. Acute coronary syndrome (ACS) and stroke are the leading causes of mortality and long-term morbidity across the world. Post-hospital rehabilitation (PHR) is strongly recommended in both groups. Objective. The purpose was assessment of awareness of the PHR need in patients after ACS and after ischaemic stroke (IS). Materials and method. The study included 60 patients (17 F, 43 M), 62 ± 13.6 years of age, admitted to hospital due to ACS (n=30 pts) or IS (n=30 pts). A cross-sectional survey was carried out in order to evaluate awareness of the PHR need through a questionnaire composed of 14 one-choice answer questions. Results. There was no significant correlation between place of residence and willingness to participate in the PHR programme: 69.2% (n=9) of the pts living in rural areas and 80.9% (n=38) living in the city declared their willingness to partcipate. The majority of patients declared that PHR is needed (87.5% of pts with basic educational level, 63.2% with vocational education, 61.1% with technical education, 80% with university education level). 43.3% (n=13) of pts after ACS and 66.7% (n=20) pts after IS declared they had been informed about the possibility of PHR. Altogether, 46.7% (n=14) of pts after ACS and 33.3% (n=10) after stroke understood it to be a stay in a spa; only 10% (n=3) of pts after ACS and 33.3% (n=10) after IS understood it correctly. 30% (n=9) pts after ACS and 13.3% (n=4) after IS saw it as a change in lifestyle and 13.3% (n=4) pts after ACS and 20% (n=6) after IS declared they did not know what PHR was. Conclusions. Type of place of residence and educational level had no association with the PHR need. Patients after IS were more aware than those after ACS. Increased independence was the main expectation in both groups. The majority of patients perceived PHR to consist of treatment in a spa. Too few patients were informed about the possibility of PHR.

Opis:
Introduction. Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is one of the most common endocrinopathies among women at reproductive age, but its pathology remains unknown. From epidemiological studies it is known that endogenous, mainly genetic and exogenous, environmental factors are of importance. Objective. The aim of the study was to compare the phenotype of women diagnosed with PCOS from urban and rural areas of Poland. According to the knowledge of the authors, this is first such study. Materials and method. The retrospective study included 3,877 PCOS patients: 2511 women living in cities and 1,366 village inhabitants, aged between 18 – 45 years. Clinical data, including medical history, body mass, height and hirsutism severity was obtained from each patient. Hormones were also tested in each patient: follicle stimulating hormone, luteinizing hormone, prolactin, estradiol [E2], testosterone, dehydroepiandrosterone sulphate [DHEAS], thyroid stimulating hormone, free thyroxin, insulin [INS], 17 hydroxyprogesterone, cortisol [CORT]) and metabolic (75g oral glucose tolerance test, Chol – total cholesterol, HDL-C – high density lipoprotein cholesterol, LDL-C low density lipoprotein cholesterol, and the TG (triglicerides) profile. Results. PCOS women from urban areas had a higher mean serum concentration of E2 in comparison to the inhabitants of rural areas. Women from cities had a lower mean level of DHEAS, CORT, and INS measured in the morning than rural residents. Insulin-resistance, using homeostasis model assessment, was more pronounced among women from villages. The prevalence of menstrual disorders, in general, was higher in PCOS women living in rural comparing to urban areas. Conclusions. The clinical and biochemical indices differed significantly between women diagnosed with PCOS living in cities and villages. In general in Poland, the PCOS phenotype is more severe in women living in rural areas. This study shows that different living conditions significantly affect the PCOS phenotype.

Opis:
The article focuses on the reception of literary works by James Arthur Baldwin (1924-1987) in the West and in Russia. This classic of American literature showed himself to contemporary readers not only as a gifted prose writer, playwright and feature writer, but also as a radical social activist committed to the fight against American racism. The book Giovanni ’s Room, ranking among the golden hundred of the world literature of the second half of the 20th century, is regarded as the first American novel featuring homosexual love and an important voice in the fight against homophobia. Baldwin proves that we are slaves to the culture the main character, David, is a victim of.

Opis:
The article concerns social functioning of women with Turner syndrome, focusing particularly on their family life (relations with parents, siblings, partner and children), and relations with others (friends, acquaintances, workmates and members of TS support organizations). The author also tries to find correlations between growth hormone treatment, sex hormones treatment, age of TS diagnosis, karyotype and social functioning of TS women. Turner Syndrome is a quite common (1 in every 2500 live female births) human genetic disorder which affects only females. Females with TS lack all or part of one of two sex X chromosomes. The phenotype of TS women includes short stature and ovarian failure (which usually causes infertility) specific anatomic abnormalities (such as a short neck with a webbed appearance, a low hairline at the back of the neck, and low-set ears) and characteristic neurocognitive profile, which usually does not include mental retardation. The treatment of TS girls includes growth hormone and sex hormones therapy. 71 women took part in the study (30 from Poland and 41 from other countries – USA, Australia and United Kingdom). Researches indicated that generally women with TS showed relatively good functioning in relations in family of origin (with parents and siblings) and in social environment (quite high professional activity, good functioning in relations with friends and acquaintances). Relations with parents, especially with mothers, were usually very close, but often revealed overprotective parents’ attitude towards TS women (even in their adult life). Relations with fathers were slightly worse, more often revealing lack of fathers’ acceptance towards TS women. Relations with siblings were rather close, but again revealed overprotective siblings’ attitude towards TS sisters. Researches also revealed relatively weak functioning of TS women in relations in family of procreation (with partner and children).

Opis:
Introduction and aim. Favre-Racouchot syndrome though mostly reported in Caucasian men (with an estimated prevalence of 6% in adults older than 50 years), cases have been reported in dark-skinned population including Indians, albeit rarely. It is characterized by large open and closed comedones along with epidermal cysts over the nose, cheeks, temples, forehead and periorbital areas. The association of this condition with chronic heavy smoking is what it makes compelling. Description of the case report. We report a case of elderly male, chronic heavy smoker who was diagnosed as a case of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) as per standard guidelines. He presented with multiple nodulo-cystic lesions and had undergone a skin biopsy. Histomorphology features were consistent with Favre-Racouchot syndrome. Conclusion. Early identification of this skin condition in mildly symptomatic and asymptomatic smokers may help clinicians to forewarn the patients regarding development of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).

Opis:
Introduction. Osmotic demyelination syndrome (ODS), or central pontine myelinolysis (CPM), is a complication of severe and prolonged hyponatremia, particularly when hyponatremia is corrected too rapidly. However, even slow correction of hyponatremia can result in ODS. Aim. In this paper, we describe a patient who developed ODS following slow correction of hyponatremia. Description of the case. This article describes a case of chronic hyponatremia occurring in the course of alcoholism. The patient was admitted in severe condition with extremely low sodium level. Electrolyte supplementation was carried out according to the European Renal Best Practice (ERBP) guidelines; however, there was a rapid increase in sodium level leading to the development of symptomatic osmotic demyelinating syndrome. Following several weeks of rehabilitation and supplementation of B vitamins, the patient’s condition gradually improved. Conclusion. Sodium deficiency should be equilibrated very carefully, especially in patients with chronic hyponatremia in the course of alcoholism. Even small doses of sodium administered in accordance with the guidelines in chronic hyponatremia can cause a rapid increase in serum sodium level resulting in osmotic demyelination syndrome.

Opis:
The attitude towards people with disabilities has changed over the last century. Both deinstitutionalisation as well as integration and normalisation allowed many people with intellectual disabilities to improve their social situation. An example of such a systemic solution supporting the development of disabled persons are integration groups. The subject of this article is a report from a pilot study on the functioning of a group of children with Down syndrome within an integration group. The objective of this study was the presentation of the reasonability of inclusion within the integration group of children with Down’s Syndrome (with the homogeneous dysfunction). Observation and sociometric tests covered children with Down syndrome from two integration groups from kindergarten no. 109 in Wrocław, Poland. I consider the essence of integration, following A. Maciarz, to be the feeling of social bonds experienced by a disabled individual, a sense of belonging to a group, as well as the conviction that one is accepted by it, despite the fact that the standards adopted by their community are not always and not fully met by them. The research was carried out for six months in a kindergarten where I was a special educator.

Introduction. Reports continue to show that a significant association exists between serum vitamin D level and metabolic syndrome (MS)-associated inflammation. However, information on the serum levels of vitamin D and alterations in inflammation in different vitamin D status is presently lacking. Aim. To determine the serum levels of vitamin D and TNF-α, and assess their possible relationship with gender in individuals with MS. Material and methods. Sixty adults with MS and 40 controls were enrolled into this case-control study. Serum vitamin D and TNF-α levels were measured and participants stratified into different vitamin D status. Results. None of the participants had vitamin D deficiency and the mean vitamin D level was similar in MS compared with the controls. However, TNF-α level was significantly higher in MS compared with the controls. Serum vitamin D level had significant inverse correlation with serum TNF-α level in MS. Also vitamin D level was significantly lower while TNF-α level was significantly higher in female-MS compared with the male-MS. Conclusion. Adults with MS have elevated TNF-α level which appears to be associated with the serum level of vitamin D. Also, females with MS have low vitamin D level and this may exacerbate the MS-associated inflammation in them.

A case of a progressive ischemia of the right upper extremity in a 57-year-old male caused by primarily undiagnosed compression of a subclavian artery by an accessory cervical rib is presented. Critical limb ischemia persisting for 7 years despite conservative treatment and a thrombectomy of upper extremity arteries and thoracic sympathectomy, led to a loss of three fingers and development of a non-healing ulceration of right upper extremity. Eventually a cervical rib resection together with a subclavio-brachial venous bypass graft permanently reversed the critical limb ischemia and allowed the ulceration to heal.The presented case underscores the importance of an early surgical intervention in patients with upper limb ischemia and anatomic abnormalities in a thoracic outlet.

Opis:
Introduction. Metabolic Syndrome is a set of interrelated risk factors for the emergence and progression of cardiovascular disease and diabetes, such as central obesity (abdominal), elevated blood pressure and disorders of carbohydrate and lipid metabolism. Peri- and postmenopausal women are particularly at risk for developing MS by the aging and loss of the protective effect of estrogen on the body, additionally by intellectual work associated with a sedentary lifestyle and job stress. Obective. The aim of the study was to analyze the frequency of MS and its criteria in perimenopausal and postmenopausal women performing intellectual work, as well as selected factors on which the metabolic syndrome depends. Materials and method. The study group consist of 300 women aged 44–66 working intellectually. Research methods used: metabolic syndrome’s criteria, Greene Climacteric Scale, body fat accumulation, medical interview. Statistical methods used: logistic regression analysis, analysis of variance, χ2 test of stochastic independence. Results. The MS was diagnosed in about ¼ of the women in perimenopausal and postmenopausal period working intellectually; in most of them, abdominal obesity (¾), in more than a half hypertension, in every sixth hypertriglyceridaemia, in every seventh hyperglycaemia and in every tenth low HDL-C. Prevalence of MS and its criteria was correlated with BMI, body fat accumulation and parity. Prevalence of arterial hypertension was associated with the severity of menopausal symptoms and lack of physical activity. Conclusions. Prevalence of MS and some of its criteria depended on BMI, body fat accumulation, parity, severity of menopausal symptoms and lack of physical activity, whereas it did not depend on: age between 44–66, educational level, marital status or HRT taking.

A paraneoplastic syndrome is the state of clinical symptoms related to tumors, not being a close implication of a local neoplastic and metastatic infiltration. The objective of this article is drawing attention to the possibility of concealment of Hodgkin disease through symptoms of nephrotic syndrome by the case of a 13-year old boy.
Idiopatyczny zespół nerczycowy diagnozowany jest u 16 na 100 000 dzieci, co pozwala określić go jako jedną z najczęstszych chorób nerek wieku dziecięcego. Postępowanie lecznicze opiera się na wynikach serii badań, z których diagnostycznie najistotniejszy jest stosunek białka do kreatyniny w moczu wynoszący >2 oraz obniżenie stężenia albumin w surowicy wynoszące <2,5 g/l. Powyższym objawom towarzyszy wystąpienie obrzęków oraz hiperlipidemii. Należy zwrócić uwagę na staranną ocenę stanu dziecka na podstawie wywiadu i badania przedmiotowego uzupełnionego o badanie ultrasonograficzne. Nie często zdarza się, że obraz kliniczny charakterystyczny dla zespołu nerczycowego z uogólnionym powiększeniem węzłów chłonnych, powiększeniem wątroby i śledziony może sugerować występowanie chłoniaka. Zespół paraneoplastyczny to stan klinicznych objawów związanych z nowotworami, nie będącymi ścisłą implikacją miejscowego nacieku nowotworowego lub przerzutowego. Celem artykułu jest zwrócenie uwagi na możliwość zatajenia choroby Hodgkina przez objawy zespołu nerczycowego na przykładzie trzynastoletniego chłopca.

Opis:
Bickerstaff’s brainstem encephalitis (BBE) is a rare, immune-dependent disease of brainstem characterized by progressive ophthalmoplegia, ataxia and central nervous system involvement, which may take the form of impaired consciousness and/or pyramidal signs. BBE requires differentiation with many neurological conditions and it is extremely difficult to make the proper diagnosis. We describe the case of a 63-year-old female patient admitted to the Department of Neurology due to speech changes, balance disorder, diplopia and weakness of the right limbs. On admission, neurological examination revealed depressed gag and palatal reflexes, central facial nerve palsy on the right side of the face and paresis of the right limbs. On the second day, progression of neurological deficit was observed – quantitative disturbances of consciousness, absence of gag and palatal reflexes and bilaterally positive Babinski sign. Head MRI did not confirm the presence of recent ischemic changes in the brain. From the fourth day, the patient's general and neurological condition was very severe. She was unconscious with ophthalmoplegia and narrow, non-reactive pupils. Multimodal therapy was administered during hospitalization, observing a gradual improvement in the patient's condition from the thirteenth day of hospitalization. Due to the ambiguous clinical picture, the following diseases were considered in the differential diagnosis: ischemic stroke of the brainstem region, venous sinus thrombosis, posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome, reversible cerebral vasoconstriction syndrome, paraneoplastic brainstem encephalitis and Bickerstaff’s brainstem encephalitis. On the thirty-fifth day, the patient was discharged home. The patient maintained verbal contact with clear speech, proper eye movement and persistent four-limb paresis. After 5 months, the patient was re-admitted to the Department of Neurology to assess the neurological condition and undergo medical check-ups.

Introduction: The frailty syndrome (FS) is a syndrome of functional limitations related to the older age, and its specificity, as well as the scale of occurrence, justify the need for its description and ordering of knowledge in this area. Aim: The aim of the literature review is to systematize knowledge in the field of individual descriptive elements of FS and rehabilitation dedicated to FS. Material and metods: The publication is a review and systematizes research material in the field of syndrome frailty. The narrative review was based on the analysis of publications contained in the Pubmed database in the period 2012-2017 and Polish sources published in this period. The sources were selected in accordance with the purpose of the work. Results: The frailty syndrome is defined and defined in various ways, although the main reference refers to its first description, formulated by L. Fried et al. There are three main phenotypes of the weakness group, classified based on the criteria of the creators of this team. Different scales are used in diagnostics: CHS, FRAIL, ESF, as well as GFI, TFI and PLFI indicators. The frailty syndrome develops based on the causes and effects of the so-called a cascade of weaknesses, among them chronic inflammatory processes, sarcopenia and immunological changes are of key importance. Recommended physiotherapy regimens cover various cycles and types of physical activity, with the use of a 12-week program of exercises of various types most often emphasized. Conclusions: Frailty is a state of exhaustion of reserves and functional limitations of the older age, also referred to as a team of weakness, frailty and fragility. Most reports confirm the use and usefulness of the CHS scale. Lack of unambiguous physiotherapy regimens for FS. Article received: 04.01.2019; Accepted: 16.07.2019 Key words: frailty, weakness syndrome, exhaustion syndrome, the elderly, rehabilitation
Wstęp: Zespół słabości (FS) jest syndromem ograniczeń funkcjonalnych związanych z wiekiem starszym, a jego specyfika, jak i skala występowania, uzasadniają potrzebę jego opisu i uporządkowania wiedzy w tym zakresie Cel: Celem dokonanego przeglądu literatury jest systematyzacja wiedzy w zakresie poszczególnych elementów opisowych FS oraz rehabilitacji dedykowanej FS. Materiał i metody: Publikacja ma charakter przeglądowy i dokonuje systematyzacji materiału badawczego w zakresie frailty syndrome. Przegląd narracyjny oparto na analizie doniesień opublikowanych w bazie Pubmed w okresie 2012-2017 oraz polskich źródłach wydanych w tym okresie. Dokonano selekcji źródeł zgodnie z celem pracy. Wyniki: Zespół słabości jest określany i definiowany w różnorodny sposób, choć główne odniesienie odnosi się do pierwszego jego opisu, sformułowanego przez Fried i wsp. Istnieją trzy główne fenotypy zespołu słabości, klasyfikowane w oparciu o kryteria twórców tego zespołu. W diagnostyce stosowane są różne skale: CHS, FRAIL, EFS, a także wskaźniki GFI, TFI i PLFI. Zespół słabości rozwija się w oparciu o przyczyny i skutki wpisane w tzw. kaskadę słabości, a wśród nich kluczowe znaczenie mają przewlekłe procesy zapalne, sarkopenia i zmiany immunologiczne. Rekomendowane schematy fizjoterapii obejmują różnorodne cykle i rodzaje aktywności fizycznej, przy czym najczęściej podkreślana jest przydatność 12-tygodniowego programu ćwiczeń o różnym charakterze. Wnioski: Frailty jest stanem wyczerpania rezerw i ograniczeń funkcjonalnych wieku starszego, określanym też mianem zespołu słabości, kruchości i wątłości. Najwięcej doniesień potwierdza stosowanie i przydatność skali CHS. Brak jednoznacznych schematów postępowania fizjoterapeutycznego w odniesieniu do FS.

Materials and method. The study included 425 women, aged 45–59 years, from the general population of the West Pomeranian Province in north-west Poland. The research procedure involved a structured interview, anthropometric and blood pressure measurements, biochemical analysis of serum, and genetic analysis. Results. The carriers of the A/A genotype of the FTO polymorphism had higher LDL levels than their counterparts with the T/T genotype (p=0.01). The carriers of the T/T genotype of the MC4R polymorphism had lower non-HDL levels than those with the C/C and C/T genotypes (p=0.019). Weight was related to the C/C and the C/G + G/G genotypes of the PPAR-γ gene polymorphism (p=0.046). The model of inheritance for the MC4R polymorphism had a significant effect on TG (p=0.039) and non-HDL (p=0.05) levels. Conclusions. The genotypes analyzed in the study had only a slight direct effect on the biochemical and anthropometric abnormalities typical of metabolic disorders. Nonetheless, the risk alleles (A allele of the FTO rs9939609 and the C allele of the MC4R rs17782313) were found to be related to lipid metabolism disorders in 45–60-year-old women.

Opis:
FAS- Fetal Alcohol Syndrome - is a disease consisting in neurobehavioral incorrectness as well as some changes in internal organs. This incorrectness occur at these children whose mothers drank alcohol during pregnancy. The FAS-children, apart from numerous changes in a body build, have problems with notice concentration, communication, incompetence of solving problems as well as with a weak impulse control. Their growing difficulties result from injury to Central Nerve system. Implementation of prophylaxis for the women is very important. It has in view to limit drinking alcohol by the pregnant women. The prenatal care of the pregnant women and her child is carried on by specialist health service centre and anti-alcoholic clinics. My work aimed at representing and trating defects that occur at these children whose mothers drank alcohol during pregnancy. The representing of methods of prophylaxis for the alcohol drinking women and trating a post – natal care of the mother and her child was a very important element of the paper.
FAS czyli Płodowy Zespół Poalkoholowy to jednostka chorobowa obejmująca nieprawidłowości neurobehawioralne oraz zmiany w organach wewnętrznych. Nieprawidłowości te występują u dzieci, których matki spożywały alkohol w okresie ciąży. Dzieci z FAS oprócz licznych zmian w budowie ciała mają problemy z koncentracją uwagi, komunikowaniem się, nieumiejętnością rozwiązywania problemów oraz ze słabą kontrolą impulsów. Trudności rozwojowe, jakie występują u tych dzieci wynikają z powodu uszkodzenia Ośrodkowego Układu Nerwowego. Bardzo ważnym elementem jest wdrażanie profilaktyki wśród kobiet, która ma na celu ograniczenie spożywania alkoholu przez kobiety ciężarne. Opieka perinatalna nad kobietą ciężarną powinna być już prowadzona przed ciążą oraz podczas porodu. Natomiast opieka poporodowa nad kobietą i jej dzieckiem powinna mieć na celu zapewnienie kontaktów z ośrodkiem specjalistycznym i poradnictwem antyalkoholowym. Celem pracy było przedstawienie i omówienie problemów związanych ze spożywaniem alkoholu przez kobiety ciężarne oraz omówienie wad, jakie występują u dzieci, których matki spożywały alkohol w okresie ciąży. Kolejnym ważnym aspektem było przedstawienie metod profilaktyki wśród kobiet spożywających alkohol oraz omówienie opieki okołoporodowej nad matką i jej dzieckiem.

Opis:
Wolf–Hirschhorn syndrome is a severe genetic condition that affects many systems of the human body. The genetic mechanism is based on the deletion of the distal portion of the short arm of chromosome 4 (4p). Individuals affected by the syndrome have a special phenotype: wide bridge of the nose, widely spaced eyes, micrognathia, microcephaly, growth retardation, cryptorchidism, heart defects, hearing loss and severe intellectual disability. The patient from our case report was hospitalised at the Lviv City Children’s Hospital at the age of six hours in a severe condition, with distinctive features of a genetic syndrome, which was connected with intraventricular haemorrhage. At the age of three months, he showed delayed physical and neurocognitive development and a characteristic appearance, which led to a specialist consultation to diagnose the genetic disease. This time, on the basis of clinical, laboratory and instrumental findings, the boy was diagnosed with Wolf–Hirschhorn syndrome.
Zespół Wolfa–Hirschhorna jest ciężką chorobą genetyczną objawiającą się szeregiem wad wrodzonych dotykających różnych układów ludzkiego organizmu. Mechanizm genetyczny tego zespołu polega na delecji dystalnej części krótkiego ramienia chromosomu 4 (4p). Osoby dotknięte tym schorzeniem mają charakterystyczny fenotyp, na który składają się m.in. szeroka podstawa nosa, szeroko rozstawione oczy, mikrognacja, mikrocefalia, upośledzenie wzrostu, wnętrostwo, wady serca, ubytki słuchu oraz ciężkie upośledzenie intelektualne. Przedstawiony w pracy pacjent był hospitalizowany w Miejskim Szpitalu Dziecięcym we Lwowie w 6. godzinie życia w stanie ciężkim, z wyraźnymi cechami zespołu zaburzeń genetycznych oraz krwawieniem dokomorowym. W wieku 3 miesięcy, ze względu na wyraźnie opóźniony rozwój motoryczny oraz neuropoznawczy, a także charakterystyczne cechy fizjonomiczne, pacjenta skierowano do konsultacji genetycznej w celu ustalenia rozpoznania. W oparciu o wyniki badań fizykalnych, laboratoryjnych i genetycznych stwierdzono u niego zespół Wolfa–Hirschhorna.

Opis:
Parental alienation is a phenomenon that appears after the divorce or break-up in a situation, where there is high conflict between the separating parents accompanying the termination of the relationship. It includes actions intentionally taken by one of the sides, who is seeking to distort the relationship between the child and the other parent. As a result of the alienation, the child starts to excessively prefer the custodial parent and intensively reject the non-custodial parent. The discussion concerning parental alienation was initiated by Richard Gardner, a psychiatrist, who introduced the idea of PAS ‘parental alienation syndrome’. His concept was widely commented by its supporters as well as by sceptics and opponents, as a result of which its modified version, PA ‘parental alienation’, was developed. Published research concerning the subject can be found in English-language scientific articles as early as in 1998. However, in Polish academic literature parental alienation is almost non-existent. The objective of this article is to open a discussion on this subject. Apart from theoretical analysis of the phenomenon, the narratives of parents who believe to experience PA were analysed. The analysis regarded aspects such as: definition, characteristics and sources of parental alienation. The article analyses also actions, which are the alienated parents’ reactions to PA. The performed analysis was of netnographic nature.

Opis:
The aim of the study is to present Gerstmann syndrome, manifested as a neuropsychological deficit resulting from the damage to the parietal lobe of the left hemisphere. Here it is discussed based on the studies conducted mainly since the 1950’s when it attracted considerable interest, as well as and controversy at the same time. The classic symptoms are briefly described, including the clinical tasks useful in any the diagnosis for during the neuropsychological assessment. The paper also presents recent studies and a alternative different proposal for the understanding of this clinical syndrome. Josef Gerstmann described a clinical tetrad in his patients, which was later to be known as Gerstmann syndrome. The symptoms included finger agnosia, agraphia, acalculia and left-right disorientation. He associated the above symptoms with damage to the left angular gyrus, hence the alternative a different name for of the syndrome i.e., the angular gyrus syndrome. The existence of the syndrome was questioned for some time, something which was never approved by Gerstmann. Currently, the occurrence of the syndrome is confirmed by studies. However, the full and pure tetrad of the classic symptoms as observed is not common. The clinical picture of the syndrome often usually remains incomplete and is related to other neuropsychological deficits such as aphasia, which frequently occurs. In modern considerations, the language deficiencies of semantic aphasia are not treated as non- Gerstmann syndrome, disturbing its pure form, but are considered to be a part of Gerstmann syndrome as such.

Introduction: The aim of the study was to present selected cases with Eagle’s syndrome diagnosed and treated at the Department of Otolaryngology, Laryngological Oncology, Audiology and Phoniatrics, Medical University of Lodz, in the years 2016–2020. Material and method: Five selected clinical cases with Eagle’s syndrome are presented, including three male patients and two female patients, aged 28 to 42 years. Results: The prevalence of Eagle’s syndrome was similar for both female and male patients. The carotid artery syndrome, which is characterized by: visual disturbances, unilateral pain located along cervical vessels, headache and migraine, was more common. Lack of proper diagnosis of Eagle’s syndrome often significantly delays the implementation of proper treatment and thus exposes patients to long-term struggle with pain. Our observations have shown that the time between the onset of symptoms and correct diagnosis in patients averaged about five years. 3D-CT scan is the gold standard for detecting Eagle’s syndrome. An intraoral approach was used in surgical treatment. Although this approach offers shorter treatment time and better cosmetic effect, there is also a greater risk of complications associated with limited visibility of the surgical field and infection. Conclusions: Although styloid syndrome usually occurs bilaterally, these patients reported unilateral symptoms. No correlations were found between the prevalence of Eagle’s syndrome and sex, the length of the styloid process or age, nor side of the body. The best healing effect is obtained by surgical correction/reduction of the elongated styloid process.

Horner's syndrome is most often caused by a tumour compressing the sympathetictrunk. Spindle cell lipoma (SCL) is a rare tumour, corresponding to just 1.5% of the benigntumours of soft tissues. Its most common localisation is subcutaneous tissue in theupper part of the body. This paper presents a rare case of Horner's syndrome caused bya SCL of the neck.A 42-year-old male patient was admitted to the ENT Ward of the Mazovian SpecialHospital in Siedlce because of a neck tumour on the left side. Laryngological examinationrevealed only a hard tumour with a limited mobility on the left side of the neck. Oph-thalmological and neurological consultations indicated Horner's syndrome. Fine-needleaspiration biopsy gave no clear diagnosis. The patient was qualified for surgery. Thetumour was radically excised and sent for histopathological examination. Thefinal his-topathological diagnosis was: SCL. Symptoms of the Horner's syndrome disappearedwithin 3 weeks after the surgery.The discussed case should be noted because of untypical SCL localisation within thecervical perivascular space, and also because of presence of symptoms of Horner's synd-rome caused by compression of the tumour on the sympathetic trunk that disappearedfollowing the surgical treatment.

Additionally, the factors determining the respondents’ opinions were analyzed. The paper uses the author’s questionnaire was placed on groups for parents of children with Down syndrome on the social network site Facebook. In addition, surveys were sent by e-mail to the primary school districts and non-governmental organizations that help children with Down syndrome. Fifty two questionnaires were collected. The results indicate that, despite intellectual disability, parents recognize the intellectual potential of their children. It can be assumed that assessments of the intellectual potential of students with Down syndrome and diagnosed intellectual disability are determined by their siblings in the intellectual norm, gender, using verbal speech, communication skills, social skills and opinions of their parents about their successes in school and progress as a result of the therapy.

I used three case studies to describe the problems faced by small public schools in small communities. In spite of the parents' commitment to make their children feel comfortable among their students, this has not always been the case. What seems to be important here is the teacher's involvement, knowledge, and willingness, which has not always been the case. I believe that this paper will help to look at these challenges and that the teachers or parents reading this article will understand the complexity of the problem.

Introduction. Analysis of the medical literature shows that non-specific low back pain is a multifaceted affliction. Determining the unequivocal definition and classification of the ailment could be somewhat difficult. The following review presents a multiplicity of common low back pain nuances. The paper also shows necessity of unification of the definition and clarification, for placing non-specific low back pain among other musculoskeletal disorders. Aim. The author will attempt to provide the answers to basic questions about non-specific low back pain. In its form, the paper will have similarities to the prospect study with narrative review features. Although the reader should remember that the article is neither a result of expert team efforts nor non-specific low back pain leading authority opinion. Therefore the suggestions should be interpreted with necessary distance and scientific scepticism. Material and methods. Proper publications were searched in PubMed and EBSCO scientific articles databases, using terms: ‘nonspecific low back pain’ or ‘non-specific low back pain’, ‘definition’, ‘diagnostic triage’, and ‘classification’ in different combinations. Results. As a result of the review, subtle correction of the current non-specific low back pain definition has been proposed. Acknowledgments. The author of this review wishes to show his appreciation to Prof. Edward Saulicz, the promotor and mentor for didactic support, methodologic and merythoric advice, and for manuscript correction. Thanks also extended to colleague Łukasz Sejboth, master of physiotherapy, for help with appropriate references and motivation to scientific exploration with his unassailable attitude and professionalism. Furthermore, author would like to acknowledge Keith Littlewood for his kind and valid amendments in the English version of the manuscript.

Opis:
Zespół Retta po raz pierwszy został opisany w 1966 roku przez austriackiego lekarza Andreasa Retta. Jest to zespół całościowych zaburzeń rozwoju współistniejących w obrębie układu nerwowego, szkieletowego oraz żołądkowo-jelitowego. Jest to rzadkie i uwarunkowane genetycznie postępujące schorzenie neurologiczne występującym głównie u dziewczynek. Według danych statystycznych zespół Retta występuje z częstością 1 na 10 000 – 15 000 urodzeń, jednak rzeczywista liczba chorych jest prawdopodobnie większa z powodu nierozpoznania choroby. W pracy zaprezentowano obraz kliniczny, etapy choroby oraz kryteria rozpoznania klinicznego Zespołu Retta. Przedstawiono patogenezę Zespołu Retta oraz rolę białka MECP2 w ludzkim organizmie.
Rett syndrome was first described in 1966 by Austrian physician - Andreas Rett. It is a set of comprehensive development disorders coexist in the nervous system, skeletal system and gastrointestinal tract. It is a rare genetic neurological disorder occurring primarily in girls. According to statistical data Rett syndrome occurs in 1 in 10 000 - 15 000 births, but the actual number of patients is probably higher because the disease is not recognized. This paper presents the clinical picture of the disease, stages and criteria for clinical diagnosis of Rett syndrome. The paper highlights the pathogenesis Rett syndrome and the role MeCP2 protein in the human body

Opis:
The birth of a child is a major event in family life, which makes parents take on an important role in their lives, characterised by new tasks, chief among which are the care and upbringing of their offspring. Unfortunately, in many families, some factors emerge that may affect their functioning, disrupt the course of family life, and leave a permanent mark on the family’s history. Such a situation can be difficult for many –and many parents find the process of accepting a child with a disability (Down syndrome) and themselves as parents of a child with Down syndrome a long and arduous journey, since taking care of a child, upbringing and supporting their development is an issue in itself, but also a challenge for parents. In many cases, both the child and their parents need support in their daily life, ensuring their high quality of life. The objective of this study is to outline the functioning of families of children with Down syndrome. Due to the complex nature of the issue at hand, only selected aspects of the functioning of families were diagnosed, showcasing the changes in the family life and its functioning as a result of the birth of children with Down syndrome. The study was based on qualitative methodologies, by analysing individual cases using interview technique and interview dispositions. The research group comprised 10 families of children with intellectual disabilities, and the interviewed group was made up of 10 mothers and 3 fathers in Zielona Góra.

The research was conducted according to the qualitative methods. Data was collected from semistructures interviews with 50 mothers of children with TS. The interviews were analyzed using a content analysis method. Conclusions derived from the research findings found that lack of accurate diagnosis and information leaded mothers to a state of imbalance and great stress. When they were given accurate information, they seemed to be more able to advocate for the child with TS and thus preventmisunderstandings, and consequent unpleasant situations and confusion.

Opis:
Background: Poor knowledge about Fragile X syndrome (FXS) may be a major barrier to early diagnosis that could improve quality of life and prognosis especially in the developing countries. Aim: The aim of this study was to evaluate simple and reproducible method for premutation detection in females of fragile X families for the first time in Egypt. Subjects and Methods: We have developed a rapid modified polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based screening tool for expanded Fragile X mental retardation 1 (FMR1) alleles. This method utilizes betaine as additive to facilitate FMR 1 gene amplification. We screened fifty three males, thirty two first-degree females; twenty normal healthy controls in addition to six reference samples. Results: Simple PCR method showed 16 males with abnormal CGG repeats, where 10 of their mothers and four sisters had FMR 1 premutation. Consanguineous marriage was present in 66.6% percent of the studied families. Studying the correlation between genotype and clinical manifestations showed premature ovarian failure in 40% and learning disability in 50% of the studied female carriers. Conclusion: FXS has to be ruled out in families with consanguineous parents, before assuming that familial mental retardation is due to autosomal recessive gene defects. Early carrier detection may reduce the number of affected children. In conclusion, more studies are still needed of much larger sample size with known allele sizes in order to guarantee the accuracy of the method used.

Opis:
The study aims to uncover and explore the social identities of women suffering from a genetic disorder called Turner syndrome (TS), and whose main symptoms are a short stature and gonadal dysgenesis. Such a genetically-determined physical appearance is argued to influence the positioning of TS women in the web of social relationships and identities. This linguistic analysis of narratives delivered by Polish women with TS in semi-structured interviews aims to explicate the extent to which they are actors or recipients in creating their own identities. The analysis draws on the assumptions of the ‘small story’ paradigm developed by Michael Bamberg (1997, 2005) who claims that in interaction, narrative is not only used to convey meaning, but also to construct the identities of the interlocutors. Thus, narrative is treated in a functional way, in which its formal structure and content are integrally associated with its use and any deviations are relativized as a consequence of a user’s deliberate activity.

Opis:
ObjectivesTo evaluate: a) the prevalence of bilateral idiopathic carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) in manual workers; b) a correlation between the duration of unilateral and bilateral CTS symptoms; c) a correlation between the onset of CTS symptoms in the unilateral dominant/non-dominant hand and the time of developing bilateral CTS; and d) findings of the nerve conduction study (NCS) in symptomatic and asymptomatic hands of patients with unilateral CTS.Material and MethodsClinical and neurophysiological examinations were conducted along with a detailed analysis of job exposure of 332 manual workers admitted to the Occupational Medicine Department, the Nofer Institute of Occupational Medicine, with suspected occupational CTS. Eventually, 258 patients were excluded from the study: 34 with associated neuropathies and 206 with other conditions potentially associated with CTS. Cases with work-related CTS (18) were also excluded.ResultsA total of 74 patients were diagnosed as idiopathic CTS. In idiopathic CTS, the right hand was affected in 15 (20.3%) patients, the left hand in 4 (5.4%) patients, and both hands in 55 (74.3%) patients. Symptoms duration was longer in the patients with bilateral CTS (4.01 years) than in those with a unilateral right (1.7 years, p = 0.002) or left hand condition (2.8 years, p = 0.313). Median nerve impairment at the wrist was revealed by NCS in 6 left and 2 right asymptomatic hands.ConclusionsThe findings of the study indicate the need for “alerting” patients with unilateral CTS about the risk of the disease developing in the contralateral hand. Therefore, NCS should be routinely performed in the asymptomatic hands of patients with unilateral CTS, which is essential for the prevention of neuropathies, especially among manual workers performing repetitive manual tasks.

Objectives: This study aims to assess the frequency and factors relevant to metabolic syndrome in workers employed in the collection and disposal of solid waste sector. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted in the major solid waste collecting and disposal company named İSTAÇ AŞ (İstanbul Environmental Protection and Waste Processing Corporation) in Istanbul, Turkey. All 715 male employees of the company were included in the study without sampling. The study was completed with 619 subjects. Since it was a small group, female workers were not taken into account in the study. Metabolic syndrome frequency was investigated according to the NCEP-ATP III criteria including the levels of systolic and diastolic blood pressure, waist perimeter, HDL, triglyceride, fasting blood glucose values. Results: Metabolic syndrome was present in 40.9% of participating employees. Metabolic syndrome was more common in those working in the excavation field (54.0%), such as caterpillar operators (56.5%), and less common in employees working in administrative offices, such as office staff or managers, who were under 35 years old and who had been working for less than 10 years (p < 0.05). Employees working in work stations other than administrative offices had a 2.60 times higher risk compared to those working in administrative offices. Conclusions: Metabolic syndrome may be related to work station, job, age and period worked by the subjects.

Additionally, the factors determining the respondents’ opinions were analyzed. The paper uses the author’s questionnaire was placed on groups for parents of children with Down syndrome on the social network site Facebook. In addition, surveys were sent by e-mail to the primary school districts and non-governmental organizations that help children with Down syndrome. Fifty two questionnaires were collected. The results indicate that, despite intellectual disability, parents recognize the intellectual potential of their children. It can be assumed that assessments of the intellectual potential of students with Down syndrome and diagnosed intellectual disability are determined by their siblings in the intellectual norm, gender, using verbal speech, communication skills, social skills and opinions of their parents about their successes in school and progress as a result of the therapy.

Introduction and aim. Autoimmune rheumatic diseases are a group of disorders with similar clinical, laboratory and immunological manifestations. Connective tissue diseases include systemic scleroderma, dermatomyositis or polymyositis, Sjögren’s syndrome, rheumatoid arthritis, and systemic lupus erythematosus. If the patient meets the diagnostic criteria for at least two of these diseases and has specific serologic markers, a diagnosis of overlap syndrome is possible. Description of the case. This case describes a 27-year-old man who had a history of paroxysmal fever, night sweats, erythema-like skin lesions on the forearms and lower legs, a feeling of progressive muscle weakness especially in the proximal muscles, and dry mouth. The patient was diagnosed with an overlap syndrome: systemic lupus erythematosus, dermatomyositis, and Sjögren’s syndrome. Conclusion. Overlap syndrome is difficult to treat due to its multisystem nature, requiring a symptomatic therapeutic approach and careful control of medication doses to reduce side effects while controlling disease activity.

Opis:
Asperger syndrome has been included in the common category of autistic disorders in current medical classifications. In spite of that, there are still some researches allowing us to see the differences in the structure and functioning of the brains of people with autism and Asperger syndrome. Differentiation at the level of diagnosis is important because of the different educational and therapeutic needs of children with autism and AS. This paper presents the concept of dimensional case assessment of children with Asperger syndrome. The dimensional approach allows for viewing the disorder multidimensionally, taking into account the severity of the phenomenon and in connection with other factors, not only other disorders, which significantly reduces the omission of non-prototypical cases in diagnoses and accelerates the use of therapeutic measures. It is necessary because of the low effectiveness of the diagnostic categorical approach.

Opis:
Ultrasound (US) is one of the methods for imaging entrapment neuropathies, post-traumatic changes to nerves, nerve tumors and postoperative complications to nerves. This type of examination is becoming more and more popular, not only for economic reasons, but also due to its value in making accurate diagnosis. It provides a very precise assessment of peripheral nerve trunk pathology – both in terms of morphology and localization. During examination there are several options available to the specialist: the making of a dynamic assessment, observation of pain radiation through the application of precise palpation and the comparison of resultant images with the contra lateral limb. Entrapment neuropathies of the upper limb are discussed in this study, with the omission of median nerve neuropathy at the level of the carpal canal, as extensive literature on this subject exists. The following pathologies are presented: pronator teres muscle syndrome, anterior interosseus nerve neuropathy, ulnar nerve groove syndrome and cubital tunnel syndrome, Guyon’s canal syndrome, radial nerve neuropathy, posterior interosseous nerve neuropathy, Wartenberg’s disease, suprascapular nerve neuropathy and thoracic outlet syndrome. Peripheral nerve examination technique has been presented in previous articles presenting information about peripheral nerve anatomy [Journal of Ultrasonography 2012; 12 (49): 120–163 – Normal and sonographic anatomy of selected peripheral nerves. Part I: Sonohistology and general principles of examination, following the example of the median nerve; Part II: Peripheral nerves of the upper limb; Part III: Peripheral nerves of the lower limb]. In this article potential compression sites of particular nerves are discussed, taking into account pathomechanisms of damage, including predisposing anatomical variants (accessory muscles). The parameters of ultrasound assessment have been established – echogenicity and echostructure, thickness (edema and related increase in the cross sectional area of the nerve trunk), vascularization and the reciprocal relationship with adjacent tissue.
Badanie ultrasonograficzne jest jedną z metod dodatkowych wykorzystywanych w diagnostyce neuropatii uciskowych, urazów i guzów nerwów, a także w celu oceny powikłań pooperacyjnych dotyczących nerwów. W ostatnim czasie badanie to zyskało na popularności ze względów nie tylko ekonomicznych, ale przede wszystkim ze względu na wartość diagnostyczną. Pozwala na bardzo precyzyjną ocenę patologii pnia nerwu obwodowego – zarówno morfologii, jak i lokalizacji. W czasie badania istnieje możliwość oceny dynamicznej, wypromieniowania bólu poprzez precyzyjną palpację oraz porównania obrazu z kończyną kontrlateralną. W pracy omówiono zespoły uciskowe nerwów obwodowych kończyny górnej, z pominięciem najczęstszej, tym samym szeroko prezentowanej w literaturze medycznej, neuropatii nerwu pośrodkowego na poziomie kanału nadgarstka. Przedstawiono zespół mięśnia nawrotnego obłego, neuropatię nerwu międzykostnego przedniego, zespół rowka nerwu łokciowego i zespół kanału łokciowego, zespół kanału Guyona, neuropatię nerwu promieniowego, neuropatię nerwu międzykostnego tylnego, chorobę Wartenberga, neuropatię nerwu nadłopatkowego oraz zespół górnego otworu klatki piersiowej. Technika badania nerwów obwodowych została przedstawiona w poprzednich artykułach, prezentujących anatomię prawidłową nerwów obwodowych [Journal of Ultrasonography 2012; 12 (49): 120–163 – Anatomia prawidłowa i ultrasonograficzna wybranych nerwów obwodowych. Część I: Sonohistologia oraz ogólne zasady badania na przykładzie nerwu pośrodkowego; Część II: Wybrane nerwy obwodowe kończyny górnej; Część III: Nerwy obwodowe kończyny dolnej]. W niniejszym artykule omówiono potencjalne miejsca ucisku poszczególnych nerwów, biorąc pod uwagę patomechanizmy uszkodzenia, w tym predysponujące warianty anatomiczne (mięśnie dodatkowe). Określono parametry oceny ultrasonograficznej – echogeniczność i echostrukturę, grubość (obrzęk i wiążący się z tym wzrost pola powierzchni przekroju poprzecznego pnia nerwu), unaczynienie oraz wzajemne relacje z przylegającymi tkankami.

Opis:
Background. PCOS (polycystic ovary syndrome) is called a pathology of the XX century and affects at least 10-15% women of childbearing age. The therapy involves pharmacotherapy of hormonal imbalance, as well as the change of lifestyle, including the diet. Objective. Performing the quantitative assessment of components of diets of women with PCOS, comparing the results with current dietary standards for Polish people and defining dietary requirements for the patients. Material and Methods. The study was performed on 54 women of childbearing age (average age 26.03± 5.52) with PCOS syndrome diagnosed according to on the Rotterdam criteria. Anthropometric measurements of the patients were made and BMI and WHR calculated. Quantitative assessment of women’s diets was performed based on the analysis of 3-day food diaries and food records taken from the previous 24h with the interview method. The data were introduced to a dietary software DIETA 5.0, calculating the average intake of the energy, nutrients, vitamins, minerals, cholesterol and dietary fibre. The obtained results were compared to Polish dietary guidelines. Results. Examined group was characterized by increased waist circumference (98.71± 13.6 cm) and an average WHR was 0.92± 0.08. An increased average value of BMI was also shown (28.91± 5.54 kg/m2). The patients consumed, on average, 1952.5±472.7 kcal daily, and the risk of insufficient intake of protein was determined in 36.7% of examined women. The highest risk of deficiency in minerals in women with PCOS was related to calcium (634 mg), potassium (3493 mg) and magnesium (250.1 mg), whereas with reference to vitamins deficiency as much as 70% of tested women were at risk of insufficient intake of folic acid, 36.7% of them - vitamin C, and 26.7% - vitamin B12. The average consumption of vitamin D was at the level of 3.4 μg. Test group was characterized by excessive average consumption of total fat (50%), SFA (70.4%) and saccharose (50%). The percentage of people with excessive average intake of cholesterol was at the level of 40.74%. As much as 83.3% patients consumed too low amounts of dietary fibre in their diets (<25g). Conclusions. In diet therapy of women with PCOS there should be higher intake of folic acid, vitamins D and C, cobalamin, dietary fibre and calcium. The consumption of total fats, saturated fatty acids and cholesterol should be reduced, as through facilitating the development of diabetes and cardio-vascular diseases, they affect the dysfunction of ovaries. The diet of some of the patients should be also supplemented by potassium, magnesium and zinc. The introduction of a properly balanced diet should be the key in the treatment of women with PCOS diagnosed according to Rotterdam criteria.
Wstęp. Syndrom policystycznych jajników (PCOS) nazywany jest patologią XX wieku i dotyka co najmniej 10–15% kobiet w wieku reprodukcyjnym. Terapia dotyczy zarówno leczenia farmakologicznego zaburzeń hormonalnych, metabolicznych jak również zmiany stylu życia, w tym sposobu żywienia. Cel. Ocena składu ilościowego jadłospisów kobiet z PCOS, porównanie go z obowiązującymi normami żywienia dla ludności polskiej oraz sprecyzowanie zaleceń żywieniowych dla pacjentek. Materiał i metody. Badaniami objęto 54 kobiety w wieku rozrodczym, z rozpoznanym, według kryteriów Rotterdamskich, zespołem PCO (średni wiek to 26,03± 5,52 lat). Wykonano pomiary antropometryczne oraz obliczono wskaźniki BMI i WHR. Oceny ilościowej sposobu żywienia kobiet dokonano w oparciu o analizę trzydniowych dzienniczków oraz jadłospisu zebranego metodą wywiadu o spożyciu z ostatnich 24 godzin. Dane wprowadzono do programu dietetycznego DIETA 5.0, obliczając średnią podaż energii, składników odżywczych, witamin, składników mineralnych, cholesterolu oraz błonnika. Uzyskane wyniki porównano z obowiązującymi w Polsce normami żywienia. Wyniki. Badana grupa charakteryzowała się zwiększonym obwodem pasa 98,71± 13,6 cm, a średnia WHR była równa 0,92± 0,08. Wykazano zwiększoną średnią wartość wskaźnika BMI (28,91± 5,54 kg/m2). Pacjentki spożywały średnio 1952,5±472,7 kcal dziennie, a zagrożenie niedostatecznym spożyciem białka stwierdzono u 36,7% badanych kobiet. Największe ryzyko wystąpienia deficytu składników mineralnych u kobiet z PCOS dotyczyło wapnia (634 mg), potasu (3493mg), magnezu (250,1 mg) natomiast wśród witamin aż 70% kobiet badanych było zagrożonych niewystarczającym spożyciem folianów, 36,7% niedoborem witaminy C a 26,7% witaminą B12. Średnie spożycie witaminy D kształtowało się na poziomie 3,4 μg. Badana grupa charakteryzowała się nadmiernym średnim spożyciem tłuszczu ogółem (50%) NKT (70.4%) i sacharozy (50%). Odsetek osób z nadmiernym średnim poborem cholesterolu był na poziomie 40.74%. Aż 83.3% pacjentek miało zbyt niską podaż błonnika w diecie (<25g). Wnioski. W dietoterapii kobiet z PCOS należy zwiększyć podaż folianów, witaminy D i C, kobalaminy, błonnika oraz wapnia. Powinno ograniczyć się spożycie tłuszczu ogółem, nasyconych kwasów tłuszczowych i cholesterolu które pogłębiając rozwój cukrzycy i chorób sercowo-naczyniowych wpływają na dysfunkcję jajnika. Dietę części pacjentek z PCOS należałoby również uzupełnić w potas, magnez, cynk. Wprowadzenie prawidłowo zbilansowanej diety powinno być kluczem w leczeniu kobiet z PCOS rozpoznawanych kryteriami Rotterdamskimi.

Opis:
Przeniesiony zespół Münchausena został opisany w 1977 roku przez brytyjskiego pediatrę Roya Meadowa w artykule Munchausen syndrome by proxy. The hinterland of child abuse. Autor opisał dwa przypadki intencjonalnego manipulowania wywiadem chorobowym, a także fabrykowania wyników badań diagnostycznych przez opiekuna w celu wzbudzenia u personelu medycznego podejrzenia choroby somatycznej dziecka. W artykule Meadow podkreślał, że poszukiwanie przez lekarzy źródła przyczyn objawów chorobowych występujących u dzieci wiązało się z wieloma potencjalnie szkodliwymi procedurami diagnostyczno-terapeutycznymi, w tym zabiegami przeprowadzonymi w trzech różnych ośrodkach klinicznych. Jedno dziecko, przewlekle zatruwane solą kuchenną przez matkę, zmarło. W niniejszym artykule przeanalizowano wykorzystywane przez opiekunów metody intencjonalnie pogorszające stan zdrowia dziecka w celu poddania go procedurom diagnostycznym i leczniczym. Do analizy włączono 68 artykułów, zarówno polskich, jak i zagranicznych, zawierających opisy 100 przypadków przeniesionego zespołu Münchausena. W analizie wykazano, że opiekunowie mogą stosować różnorodne, często wymyślne i bardzo złożone sposoby indukowania objawów chorobowych, a jedynymi ograniczeniami wydają się być są motywacja, fantazja, wiedza i doświadczenie sprawcy.
Münchausen Syndrome by Proxy was described in 1977 by British pediatrician, Roy Meadow. In the article “Munchausen syndrome by proxy. The hinterland of child abuse” Meadow presented two cases of disease symptom induction in children done by the biological mother. The author drew attention to the phenomenon of intentional manipulation of medical history, as well as fabricating the results of diagnostic tests by the caregiver in order to arouse suspicion of a child’s somatic illness in medical staff. In his article Meadow emphasizes that diagnostic and therapeutic efforts have been associated with numerous potentially harmful procedures, including surgeries in three different clinical centers. One child, chronically intoxicated with salt by his mother, died. Since the first publication about Munchausen Syndrome by Proxy many similar cases have been described in Polish and world literature. The aim of this paper is to analyze the methods which caregivers use to intentionally worsen their children’s health in order to force medical staff to perform diagnostic and therapeutic procedures. Analysis of 68 articles containing descriptions of 100 Munchausen syndrome by proxy cases was conducted. Analysis has shown that caregivers can use various and elaborate methods of disease symptom induction which may be limited by motivation, ingenuity, knowledge and perpetrators’ experience only.

Pacjenci dotknięci PSF często tracą możliwość komunikacji, także niewerbalnej, przy względnie zachowanej świadomości. Uważa się, że poprawa następuje spontanicznie w okresie do 6 miesięcy. Częściowe deficyty w zakresie funkcji językowych, ruchowych i poznawczo-afektywnych utrzymują się często wiele lat. Prawidłowe postępowanie może skrócić czas ostrej fazy objawów i poprawić dalsze funkcjonowanie pacjenta. Nie ma udowodnionej skuteczności leczenia farmakologicznego w przypadku CMS, a kluczowe znaczenie ma terapia neuropsychologiczna i psychologiczna. Podejmowane wobec pacjenta działania powinny mieć na celu w pierwszej kolejności odbudowę komunikacji i uwzględniać wiek dziecka i jego ewentualne deficyty neurologiczne.
Posterior fossa syndrome (PFS) is a collection of neurological symptoms that occurs following a surgical resection of a posterior fossa tumour. It is characterised by either a reduction or an absence of speech (Cerebellar Mutism Syndrome), motor deficits as well as cognitive and affective symptoms. Patients affected by PSF often lose the ability to communicate, including non-verbal communication, staying at least partially aware. It is believed that the improvement occurs spontaneously over the period of up to 6 months. However, partial deficits in language, motor control and cognitive-affective functions may be chronic. A proper treatment scheme may shorten the time of the acute phase of symptoms and improve the patient’s further functioning. The effectiveness of pharmacological treatment for CMS is limited. The neuropsychological and psychological therapy can contribute to the recovery of these patients. The main aim of the therapy should always be to rebuild the communication skills, taking into consideration the child’s age and his/her possible neurological deficits.

Opis:
Five families with the Lesch-Nyhan syndrome (LNS) and two families with the Kelley-Seegmiller syndrome (KSS) were studied. Seven different mutations were identified. Two transitions, C526→ T (Prol76Ser) and G481→A (Ala161Thr), in patients with a milder form of hypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribo-syltransferase (HPRT) deficiency were detected. In patients with the Lesch-Nyhan syndrome two transitions, G569→A (Glyl90Glu) and C508→T (Arg170Ter), two transversions, C222→A (Phe74Leu) and C482→A (Ala161Glu), and a deletion of seven nucleotides (from A394 to G400) were observed. All except two of the identified mutations are novel. The C222→A substitution in exon III is located within one of the clusters of hot spots of the HPRT gene and has been previously described in four unrelated patients. The other recurrent mutation C508→T in exon VII has been reported in eight families.

Opis:
The 5p deletion syndrome (5p-, Cri-du-chat syndrome, CdCS) is a genetic disorder which results from a partial deletion of the short arm of chromosome 5. It was first described by Lejeune et al. in 1963. The incidence ranges from 1:15 000 to 1:50 000 live births. The 5p- is usually diagnosed in the first days of life because of the characteristic monotonous high pitched cat-like cry and relatively constant dysmorphic features. Other symptoms often present in the neonatal period include low birth weight, muscle hypotonia, asphyxia and feeding difficulties due to impaired suction and swallowing, which may all lead to failure to thrive. Organ malformations, with various larynx abnormalities, although not very frequent, can also be present. Symptoms that are prevalent in later life include severe motor delay and intellectual disability with significant speech impairment, as well as behavioral problems. The case report presents a female infant in her 5th month of life in whom, despite the typical symptoms of 5p-, stridor and episodes of choking were the main problems. Laryngotracheal endoscopy revealed the type I laryngeal cleft. Genetic analysis confirmed the diagnose of 5p- syndrome. The presented case shows that it is critically important to perform a further investigation and refer a child with laryngological problems coexisting with dysmorphic features to a clinical geneticist.

Cutaneous and mucosal lesions are seen in many diseases, frequently being the main element of the clinical presentation. It is not uncommon that the patient with mucosal lesions of the upper respiratory tract consults the otolaryngologist first, therefore it is important that those specialists know the mucosal symptoms of dermatological diseases and consider them in the differential diagnosis. In this article diseases with the mucosal lesions of the upper respiratory tract are described, including pemphigus, pemphigoid, lichen planus, and Behçet’s disease. Knowledge of the morphology of these mucosal manifestations is essential in the clinical practice of both dermatologists and otolaryngologists, and the diagnostic and therapeutic success may be achieved only with the cooperation of these specialists.

Work-related overload syndromes are chiefly associated with the upper limbs, where carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) plays a leading role. This article analyses methods of diagnosing CTS, with special emphasis on those that can be used by physicians in early diagnosis of CTS in workers doing monotonous work. It also discusses occupational (e.g., assembly work, typing, playing instruments, packaging and work associated with the use of a hammer or pruning scissors) and extra-occupational factors (e.g., post-traumatic deformation of bone elements of the carpal tunnel, degenerative and inflammatory changes in tendon sheaths, connective tissue hypertrophy or formation of crystal deposits) leading to CTS; diagnostic methods (subjective symptoms, physical examination, manual provocative tests, vibration perception threshold, electrophysiological examination and imaging methods); and therapeutic and preventive management tools accessible in occupational medicine practice.

Introduction and objective. A nationwide survey, carried out in Poland in 2013, showed that 42% of an examined group of doctors reported occupational burnout syndrome (OBS). The phenomenon of OBS among medical personnel shows a relationship with perceived stress scale (PSS) scores. The aim of the study was to estimate the prevalence of OBS in a group of Polish doctors, and the relationship with selected risk factors and personal resources. Materials and method. A cross-sectional study using quantitative methodology was used with the application of a questionnaire method and correlation design. Questionnaires were administered to 318 doctors (42 different specialties) working in medical facilities in Poland. All participants in the study completed two standardized questionnaires: Link Burnout Questionnaire (LBQ), Perceived Stress Scale (PSS), and responded to the questions on a proprietary questionnaire. ANOVA variance analysis and analysis of regression was performed. Results. The results of the measurement of four aspects of occupational burnout: psychophysical exhaustion (PE), commitment to relationships with patients (CP), effectiveness in performed work (EW), and existential expectations (EE), were in the medium and high levels range. Every second medical doctor who participated in the research declared a high degree of occupational burnout in each of the aspects of OBS. The high level of PSS scores, the large number of duties per month, the short work experience (years of employment) and the low number of holiday leaves, were the predictors of occupational burnout in the group of doctors taking part in the study. Conclusions. The prevalence of the signs of OBS among Polish doctors is consistent with the results of research in other countries. Failures in the interventions taken to reduce stress seem to co-exist with the severity of signs of burnout.

Opis:
Background. The paper deals with the problem of burnout among the anaesthesiologists of the Western Ukraine region and its causative factors. Burnout is characterized by mental and physical exhaustion owing to prolonged emotional stress. Material and methods. 105 anaesthesiologists were questioned as to the causes of job-related stress and their personal attitude to the job based on the Maslach Burnout Questionnaire. Questionnaire survey findings were compared in relation to the doctors’ practical experience. Results. Burnout symptoms were found to occur in 82% of anaesthesiologists with practical experience less than 5 years, and in 84% of doctors with practical experience above 20 years. These groups revealed high values of emotional burnout on the Maslach scale. Anaesthesiologists with 5-20 years of work experience revealed moderate levels of emotional burnout. High level of depersonalization was found in those with 5-20 years of work experience. For doctors who had less than 5 years and more than 20 years of work experience, depersonalization level was moderate. Conclusions. The group of anaesthesiologists with more than 20 years of work experience had the highest values of professional relationship reduction. The lowest value of this component of burnout was found in the young doctors with work experience of less than 5 years. About 80% of the doctors pointed out working intensity and insufficient salary as the main causes of work-related stress.
Wprowadzenie. Artykuł przedstawia problem wypalenia zawodowego wśród anestezjologów zachodniej Ukrainy oraz czynniki przyczyniające się do powstawania tego zjawiska. Zespół wypalenia zawodowego charakteryzuje się fizycznym i psychicznym wyczerpaniem wskutek chronicznego napięcia emocjonalnego. Materiał i metody. W badaniu wzięło udział 105 anestezjologów, którzy odpowiadali na pytania dotyczące stresu związanego z pracą oraz ich postawy wobec pracy z wykorzystaniem kwestionariusza wypalenia zawodowego Christiny Maslach (MBI). Wyniki badań porównano w oparciu o doświadczenie zawodowe lekarzy. Wyniki. Objawy zespołu wypalenia zawodowego rozpoznano u 82% anestezjologów pracujących w zawodzie krócej niż 5 lat oraz u 84% lekarzy tej specjalności z ponad dwudziestoletnim stażem pracy. Obie grupy cechował wysoki poziom wyczerpania emocjonalnego zgodnie z wynikami na skali MBI (Maslach Burnout Inventory). Anestezjolodzy ze stażem pracy od 5 do 20 lat wykazują umiarkowany poziom wyczerpania emocjonalnego. Wysoki poziom depersonalizacji stwierdzono u lekarzy ze stażem pracy od 5 do 20 lat, natomiast pracujących w zawodzie krócej niż 5 lat oraz dłużej niż 20 lat cechuje umiarkowany poziom depersonalizacji. Wnioski. Grupę anestezjologów z ponad dwudziestoletnim stażem pracy cechuje najbardziej obniżone zadowolenie z osiągnięć zawodowych. Z kolei ci, którzy pracują w zawodzie najkrócej, mniej niż 5 lat, są najbardziej zadowoleni ze swoich zawodowych osiągnięć. Około 80% anestezjologów jako główne przyczyny stresu zawodowego wskazuje zbyt dużą intensywność pracy oraz zbyt niskie zarobki.

Opis:
Introduction. Waardenburg syndrome (WS) is an autosomally inherited disorder with the most common state compounding pigmentary abnormality and sensorineural deafness. The rarest type of the disease is WS4 with the general characteristic discriminated from other types by the attendance of Hirschsprung disease (HD). Among the several genes, one of the causative genes in WS4 is endothelin 3 (EDN3) with both autosomal recessive and dominant inheritance. Aim. The intention of the present study is to report a pathogenic mutation as the genetic cause of WS in an Iranian family with four patients without any segregation criteria for the type of the disease. Material and methods. In order to detect of causing gene or genes related to the disease, Whole exome sequencing (WES) technique in proband’s sample was done. To confirm the detected mutation in proband and some family members with or without the disease direct sequencing of END3 gene was performed using Sanger method. Results. Pedigree analysis suggested segregation of WS as an autosomal recessive trait in the family. WES analysis suggested a gene (EDN3) related to WS type 4B. DNA sequencing confirmed a pathogenic missense mutation c.293C>T, p.T98M in EDN3 gene in all of the four patients. Conclusion. Determination of WS can usually be missed owing to the lack of some attributes in every sufferer and also conventional clinical variance, in spite of several affected members in a single family. So, Genetic counseling is pivotal for families with multiple members influenced. We detected c.293C>T, p.T98K mutation in EDN3 gene as a pathogenic variant which has b een known as a likely pathogenic state in the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics (ACMG) guidelines, despite one prior report. It will be helpful in genetic diagnosis of affected persons and increases the mutation spectrum of EDN3 gene.

Purpose: To assess how certain clinical symptoms of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) affect the quality of life of women, their activity, and their sexual lives.Materials and methods: The World Health Organization quality of life questionnaire (WHOQOL-Bref) was used to assess the quality of life and health of 78 women diagnosed with PCOS, and the female sexual function questionnaire -28 (FSQ-28) was used to assess their sexual activity and associated disorders.Results: Among three groups of women with varying body mass indexes and aged26.93 years on average, significant differences (p<0.05) were found in quality of life. In individual domains of the WHOQOL-Bref, the median score of women with obesity was lower than that of women with normal body weight or with overweight. Women with symptoms of hirsutism showed lower quality of life than women without these symptoms, while womenwho had undergone treatment for 4–6 years experienced significantly worse quality of life than those who had undergone therapy for less than 3 or more than 6 years. In the various domains of sexual response, regression analysis showed a positive correlation (p <0 .05) between better quality of life and women’s sexual activity.Conclusions: Clinical symptoms of PCOS such as obesity and hirsutism affect women’s quality of life, as does the length of infertility treatment, whereas general quality of life affects the occurrence of disorders in women at particular stages of sexual response.

The term metabolic syndrome (MetS) defines the cooccurrence of the related risk factors of metabolic origin that promote the development of cardiovascular diseases with atherosclerotic background and type 2 diabetes. The diagnostic criteria of MetS have undergone modifications for years. Until now no clear definition of MetS has been established. The latest diagnostic criteria of MetS published in 2009 by a group of IDF (International Diabetes Federation) and AHA/NHLBI (American Heart Association/ National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute) experts discern three out of five risk factors: abdominal obesity (taking into consideration population differences), elevated level of triglycerides, reduced HDL cholesterol, hypertension and fasting hyperglycemia. Genetic predispositions and environmental factors, such as lack of physical activity and improper diet are considered to be responsible for MetS development. Therefore, prevention and treatment of MetS should be based first of all on a change in modifiable lifestyle factors, among which proper diet is of essential importance.

According to American Obesity Medicine Association obesity is a chronic, relapsing, multifactorial, neurobehavioral disease, wherein an increase in body fat promotes adipose tissue dysfunction and abnormal fat mass physical forces, resulting in adverse metabolic, biomechanical, and psychosocial health consequences. Obesity has been renowned as a risk factor of cardiovascular, endocrinological, orthopedic and many other diseases. But for the last two decades, there have been many reports of beneficial influence of overweight or obesity on patients with coronary heart disease. This phenomenon got a name of obesity paradox. It’s existence is a matter of lively discussion in medical world, and even if true, the protecting mechanisms of obesity need much deeper understanding.

It is defined as intentional simulation or self-induction of disease symptoms to gain attention of others and to be perceived as an ill person. Early recognition of factitious disorders is a challenge for non-psychiatrists, as its clinical symptoms vary significantly among patients. In this paper we present three women with recurrent episodes of hypoglycemia, who were eventually diagnosed with MS. Our aims were to share the diagnostic clues that can suggest the presence of a factitious disorder, to highlight the analysis of patient’s medical history and to suggest the potential the ethical dilemmas involved in caring for such patients.

Introduction. Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is a neuropathy caused by pressure on the median nerve taking a course in the carpal tunnel. The characteristic symptoms of CTS are: pain, numbness, and a prickling sensation in the hand usually at night or after the physical effort. Symptoms of the disease affect patient quality of life which is desribed as a subjective estimation of life situation. Aim. The aim of this study was to assess the quality of patient life in those who suffer from carpal tunel syndrome. The studies were aimed to descripe the general quality of patient life and the effect of symptoms on individual aspects in the life of the afflicted. Materials and methods. The study sample was composed of 60 patients from rehabilitation and physiotherapy institutions located in the Lublin Voivodship (Poland). The studies were based on the questionnaries of life quality estimation dependent on health WHOQOL- BREF and EQ-5D-5L as well as on our own poll questionnaire. Conclusions. Symptoms of carpal tunel syndrome deteriorate the quality of patient life. Such patients have difficulties with daily activities. Among those examined, as many as 94.12% reported problems performing everyday actions (EQ – 5D – 5L). Difficulties with chores were reported by 86.70% of those examined. The patients with carpal tunel syndrome are less effective at work. Reduced achievements at work were reported by 73.30% of those examined, and a need for a shorter work day was reported by 60%. For 53.30%, difficulties in doing their jobs were significant; 20% of the examined had to change their profession or work station. The examined patients often experienced pain which deteriorated quality of sleep and disturbed everyday functioning. The patients were presented with serious difficulties in doing professional work.

Acute coronary syndrome (ACS) and oncological disease are more frequently observed in the general population as discussed in the part I of this article. Treatment of myocardial infarction in oncological patients becomes a real struggle for clinicians, especially that the data from clinical trials including cancer patients with ACS are very limited. The choice of treatment modality should consider many existing factors considering the type of ACS – non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction vs ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction, patient’s condition, type of cancer and oncological treatment applied. Taking into consideration above mentioned factors, clinicians have to face three therapeutic options: invasive, conservative or combination of both in order to choose the best and most beneficial treatment. This article summarizes the current therapeutic approach to the management of ACS in cancer patients.

Opis:
The Gauguin Syndrome - Change of Identity or Myth?Gauguin syndrome is a phenomenon described by life span psychology, referring to the inten-tion to stimulate the changes of personality by means of a change of life circumstances. The phenomenon is patterned on Paul Gauguin's life, fuli of sudden and unexpected turns. Gauguin syndrome is an example of the change of life linę during the so called midlife crisis and it implies personality change: an attempt to discover one's own identity and intention to construct a new identity and self-concept. In this article we propose a few criteria defining Gauguin syndrome: (1) important change of life priorities, (2) undertaking a new form of activity, (3) which justi-fies meaning of life, (4) is based on different values than before, (5) gives a sense of freedom and authenticity, (6) decision about such a change is undertaken by a person independently, without any support from other people, and (7) it implies the decline of social and economic status of a person. In this article we also emphasize the differentiation of the Gauguin myth and syndrome, with possible explanations of the phenomena. Three case studies arę presented including life histories according to McAdams approach. The empirical data suggests that an important change of life might be announced by previous experiences.

Opis:
Steroid therapy, due to a wide range of anti-inflammatory properties of steroids, is a basic field of treatment in many human diseases including the nephrotic syndrome in children. However, not all patients respond positively to therapy which divides them into steroid sensitive (SS) and steroid resistance (SR) individuals. Many potential factors associated with steroid resistance have been identified so far. It seems that genetic factors associated with glucocorticoid receptor α (GRα), the structure of heterocomplex of GR as well as glycoprotein P or cytochrome P450 may play a role in the induction of glucocorticoid resistance. Here we described several of the molecular mechanisms, which can regulate glucocorticoid sensitivity and resistance. Moreover, we presented genetic defects, which can lead to various effects of treatment and, in a longer perspective, enable clinicians to individualize therapies.

Opis:
Objectives: The objective of this article is to establish a research protocol to determine if there is an association between the flu vaccine and Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS). Methods: A case-control study will be carried out to determine whether or not there is a relationship between the flu vaccine and the GBS. For each case of GBS a control of the same sex and of similar age will be selected, and it will be determined if they have been exposed to the flu vaccine, in order to determine whether this vaccine increases the risk of suffering from GBS. Findings: The flu vaccine is not expected to be associated with an increased risk of GBS. Such a result would be of great importance for the patients and for the healthcare system. It would contribute decisively to reassure the general population, especially the risk groups that can benefit from flu vaccine, being able to inform them of its safety. Conclusions: It is recommended to carry out this protocol in different health centers to obtain reliable conclusions about the possible association between flu vaccine and GBS.

Introduction and objective. The prevalence of metabolic syndrome and overweight in individuals with normal body weight is connected with higher exposure to type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular diseases. The aim of the study was to evaluate the risk and frequency of occurrence of metabolic syndrome and each of its components among individuals with normal weight. Materials and method. Data were obtained by structured interview, and by measurements of anthropometric factors and blood analyses among 13,172 individuals aged 37–66. The risk of occurrence of metabolic syndrome was analysed in tertiles within the normal range of BMI (18.5–24.9 kg/m2). Results. Metabolic syndrome was diagnosed in 17.27% of individuals with normal weight. A significant increase in the risk of occurrence of metabolic syndrome in females was observed within the second (OR = 2.22; 95% CI: 1.63–3.05) and the third (OR = 3.97; 95% CI: 2.97–5.36) tertiles of normal BMI values. In males, a significantly higher risk of occurrence of metabolic syndrome was noted only in the highest BMI tertile (OR = 2.16; 95% CI: 1.26–3.83), compared to the reference level. Conclusions. A high frequency of occurrence of metabolic syndrome risk factors was observed among individuals with BMI close to the upper cut-off point of the normal range. In order to early diagnose metabolically obese individuals with normal weight it is necessary to check the waist circumference when BMI ≥ 22.5 kg/m2 in females, and BMI ≥ 23.8 kg/m2 in males, where abnormal values should be a signal that further examinations should be performed to determine other risk factors of metabolic syndrome.

Introduction: Mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) is used in treatment of idiopathic nephrotic syndrome in children (INS). Purpose: To evaluate clinical results of MMF treatment in steroid-dependent (SD) and steroid-resistant (SR) nephrotic syndrome. Materials and methods: A retrospective analysis of 26 patients (19 boys, 7 girls) with SDINS and SRINS treated with MMF during the years 2003–2013 was made. The remission length of INS and number of relapses per year before the introduction of MMF and after 12 months was calculated. An analysis of the side effects was made. Results: The median age of INS diagnosis was 26.5 months (IQRs 24-36 months). Nineteen of the patients (73%) suffered from SDINS whereas the remaining 7 (27%) had SRINS. Twenty three (88.5%) patients underwent renal biopsy: minimal change disease (MCD) in 69.6% (n=16), focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) in 17.4% (n=4), membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis (MPGN) in 8.7% (n=2) and mesangial cell proliferation in one case. The median MMF dosage was 956.0 mg/m2/24h (IQRs 768.1-1059.7 mg/m2/24h). Eleven patients (42.3%) were taking MMF together with cyclosporine A (CsA). In patients suffering from SDINS, there was a trend to lower the recurrence rate during MMF treatment [2.0/year (IQRs 0.25-2.0 per year) vs 2.0/year (IQRs 1.0-2.75 per year), p=0.09]. Remission without proteinuria was significantly longer in patients treated with MMF; remission median was 8.5 month (IQRs 6.25-11.0 month) vs 4.5 month (IQRs 4.0-7.5 month), (p=0.014), similarly the average length of remission without corticosteroids was 6.0 months (IQRs 0.25-8.5 months) vs 3.0 months (IQRs 0.0-7.25) months (p=0.028). In children SRINS, 4/7 children MMF treatment was clinically ineffective. Side effects of the treatment were: leucopenia (n =10), hyperbilirubinemia (n = 3), gastrointestinal disorders (n = 1) and anemia (n = 1). Conclusion: This study confirmed the efficacy of the treatment with MMF in SDINR in comparison with previously used drugs, with a small number of side effects.

The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between perceived stress and psychological well-being among parents of children with down syndrome. The relationship between perceiving one’s parenthood and well-being was also studied. The sample consisted of 126 parents (75 mothers and 51 fathers, aged 25-69) of children with down syndrome. our results show that ego-resiliency is a partial mediator of the relationship between perceived stress and psychological well-being. Moreover, there is a difference in well-being between parents who perceive their parenthood as a burden or challenge, and parents who report happiness and satisfaction.

W roku 2015 przeprowadzono badania wśród 86 klientów losowo wybranego gabinetu kosmetycznego w Krakowie (Południowa Polska). Celem pracy była ocena wiedzy respondentów na temat pielęgnacji i profilaktyki stopy cukrzycowej. Dodatkowym celem było wskazanie roli podologa w profilaktyce chorób stóp. Grupę badawczą stanowiło 36 kobiet oraz 26 mężczyzn powyżej siedemdziesięciu lat, 19 kobiet i 14 mężczyzn w przedziale wiekowym od 51-70 lat i 6 kobiet 3 mężczyzn w przedziale wiekowym od 30-50 lat. Przeprowadzona ankieta była anonimowa i składa się z 35 pytań. Dotyczyła wiedzy na temat pielęgnacji stóp: ich sposobu mycia, nawilżania, masowania, obcinania paznokci, usuwania nawarstwionego naskórka, używanego obuwia, a także świadomości kontroli podstawowych parametrów, ważnych w profilaktyce cukrzycy. Badania pokazały, iż respondenci podczas pielęgnacji stóp popełniają podstawowe błędy, których można byłoby uniknąć w przypadku kontaktu z podologiem. Najbardziej zainteresowaną grupą w samodzielnej pielęgnacji stóp okazali się chorzy z przedziału 51-70 lat, który mieli stosunkowo największą wiedzę na ten temat. Ankieta pokazała, że rola podologa polega na uświadomieniu i wdrożeniu u pacjenta prostych zaleceń, które uchronią go przed powikłaniami oraz nauczą właściwej pielęgnacji kończyn dolnych w zespole stopy cukrzycowej.

Opis:
Background. Metabolic Syndrome (MS) is a widespread pathological condition, a group of interconnected metabolic disorders that contribute to the development of a number of severe noncommunicable diseases. Natural mineral waters of various compositions are widely used in the correction of MS. Their biological activity and specificity of action is associated with the presence of specific components (micronutrients, biologically active substances). At the same time, many researchers do not pay enough attention to the role of the biological activity of macro nutrients in low mineralized mineral waters. Objective. To assess the corrective effect of macro-components of mineral waters based on a comparative analysis of changes in the structure of internal organs of white rats with the MS model, receiving mineral waters of the same balneological type, but with different quantitative composition of macro components. Materials and methods. The material for histological and histochemical tests were the internal organs of male white rats with body weight 280–320 g. Animals were ranked into 4 groups: I - rats served as a control, ӀӀ - rats with a model of MS; ӀӀӀ and ӀV - rats received the mineral waters against the background of MS modeling. The mineral waters used in the work were characterized by an increased (in close amounts) content of organic substances (C org.), similar in chemical but different in quantitative macro-component composition. At the same time, mineral waters practically did not differ in terms of total mineralization. Modeling of MS was carried out for 60 days by replacing 10% fructose solution in drinking water bowls, introducing white bread crackers into the diet, and excluding green mass from the diet. In groups where animals were corrected for MS, mineral waters were administered with an intragastric tube with olive at a dose of 1% of body weight daily, starting from the 60th day of the experiment, for 12 days. Upon completion of the experiment on day 72, histological sections (which were stained with hematoxylin-eosin) were prepared from the extracted pieces of the heart, stomach, liver and kidneys tissues. The succinate-dehydrogenase (SDH) and lactate-dehydrogenase (LDH) activity were determined on the prepared cryostat sections. Using a light microscope, changes in the structure of the above organs and changes in the activity of oxidative-restorative enzymes were evaluated. Results. The activity of oxidative-restorative enzymes was approaching normal; some manifestations of changes in water metabolism in the animal organism persisted. At the end of the use of both mineral waters, a significant decrease was found in the content of visceral fat around the intestines, renal capsule, under the pericardium, which correlated with a decrease in the animal’s body weight and restoration of the fasting blood glucose level to the cereal level. The authors believe that the established features of the corrective effect of both mineral waters on changes in the structure of internal organs are explained not so much by the difference in the content and ratio of the bioactive component (C org.), but by differences in the content of macronutrients. In mineral waters obtained by rats of group III, the content of Cl– and SO4+2 ions is 2.30 and 3.67 times, and Ca2+ and Мg2+ ions are 2.75 and 4.57 more than in mineral waters, which received rats of group IV. However, the content of HCO3–, Na+, K+ is 1.14 and 1.30 times higher in the mineral waters obtained by rats of group IV. Conclusions. The authors believe that the macronutrients involved in the implementation of MWs biological activity affect the metabolic background of the organism, which creates the bioactive element - C org. conditions for the performance of more intensive corrective action.

Opis:
Nowadays, amphetamines constitute the prescription drugs most commonly abused by adolescents and young adults (Berman, O’Neill, Fears et al. 2008). The prevalence of problematic (mainly illegal) use of amphetamines as a stimulant by college students, and here especially before serious examinations, has also been rising. This fact represents a serious public health concern. The patient, aged 19, was awakened from from a long-term coma that had lasted 21 days following an amphetamine overdose and manifested tetraparesis, cortical blindness and deficits in cognitive and emotional processes. After a year of rehabilitation the majority of symptoms had disappeared, but cortical blindness andworking memory deficits remained. In addition, frontal lobe syndrome symptoms appeared. After two years of therapy as a result of immense tiredness caused by all an night wedding reception she started to manifest Charles-Bonnet syndrome. She experienced strange visual sensations such as visual hallucinations and saw various non-existing shapes (coloured blots, patterns and fireworks of vivid colours). She also saw objects (often terrifying) as well as animals (mainly African) and people with deformed faces and long teeth, and persons in African dress with feathers and coral beads in their hair. Her real identity was not remembered by the patient for longer than 2 hours and even then she insisted on being referred to as Shakira. She was given a qEEG examination (in open and closed eyes conditions) and ERPs with the use of auditory stimuli at the period when the hallucinations (to a small degree) still occurred. Studies conducted into the functional neuroimaging of the brain work in milliseconds in the examined patient can explain her symptoms. A comparison of the subject’s ERPs with the grand average of ERPs in healthy controls shows that the N170 and N 250 components are impaired in the subject: the occipital-temporal area of the subject brain shows a strong positivity instead of negativities. This positivity might reflect an enhanced reactivity of neurons in the corresponding area induced by the removal of lateral inhibition from the neurons as a result of local damage. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The indoor environment of buildings significantly affects the well-being and health of room users. Experiencing thermal discomfort reduces concentration and productivity during study or work, causing drowsiness, fatigue or deterioration in general well-being. The study focuses on presenting the results of the questionnaire study on the symptoms of sick building syndromes (SBS), namely: dizziness, nausea, eye pain and nasal mucosa, experienced by 69 students during a lecture in a large and modern auditorium of Kielce University of Technology. The results show that many students experienced SBS symptoms, which seem to have affected their concentration during the class. The article also discusses the thermal sensations of the students with a focus on comparing the obtained results with the Fanger model of thermal comfort. The discrepancy between the model calculation results and the experimental data has been observed and discussed.

It is based on the conclusions from the analysis of interviews conducted with parents of children on the autism spectrum in two periods: in 2015–2020 (32 interviews conducted in person) and in 2022 (43 interviews conducted online). The results of the study show that numerous terms are used at schools with respect to pupils with Asperger’s syndrome that have an exclusionary, stigmatising and sometimes even vulgar nature. Unfortunately, such exclusionary language is often used not only by those pupils’ peers, but also by their teachers.

Opis:
If one assumes, like Mayer Hacker, that a  social minority is a  group of people who, because of their physical or cultural characteristics, are not treated as equal to other groups in a  given society, then it turns out that many groups meet these criteria. In the prison subculture they are met by „losers,” in the macro-social space – by all minority groups such as national, ethnic, racial minorities, but also women and some religious minorities. It is surprising that although these groups often have comparable numerical, physical, or intellectual strength to that of the mainstream group, they are unable to obtain equal treatment, respect, and all the privileges that this entails. This is probably due to a number of factors, including tradition, cultural capital, resources, and culturally established institutions promoting specific social groups. However, an equally important determinant is the own activity of individuals forming a minority group, and their ability to integrate and consolidate with their own group. Among others, the following contribute to this: lack of intra-group solidarity, orientation towards the dominant group, excessive guilt, contempt for one’s own group etc. The article deals with the barriers inherent in the minority groups themselves, which contribute significantly to the consolidation of their unfavorable status. The size and scale of these barriers contribute to the status that I  call the loser syndrome. It is also important that the factors limiting the expansion of minority groups are similar in most minority groups. They are characterized by a certain universality.
