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:
In this paper we analyse selected psychological and cultural aspects of the Asperger Syndrome (a mild form of autism). We present its characteristic cognitive style and compare it to that of the hard sciences. Our claims about this connection are supported by some empirical data. Additionally, we investigate similarities in the social behaviour of people with Asperger Syndrome and nerds (i.e. intelligent people with deep interests, but also with certain social difficulties).

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.

Opis:
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.
