Introduction Due to the fact that care about health, where proper eating habits are one of its constituents, exerts a strong impact on both social and economic life of a country, it is not just an individual case of each person, but a public matter. The state of health status is obviously subject to a number of factors. However, the habits and customs with regard to daily habits are of particular importance due to the significance of food for the physical existence of each human body. These habits are formed in childhood and youth, however they undergo modifications throughout the whole life. Quite frequently the possessed knowledge is not a sufficient motivation to make great changes in the manner of eating, thus it does not change the eating habits.The aim of the paper is to determine the level of knowledge of clinic patients, selected at random, on proper eating habits.Materials and methodsThe research was conducted during the period of January-February 2016 year in a Lublin clinic. The investigation comprised 148 respondents. The method used in the research was a diagnostic survey, and the selected technique was a questionnaire conducted among the respondents, using a birth certificate, an interview and an anthropometric study. The study included 148 persons, who were further divided into two groups: students and workers. The respondents were the inhabitants of Lublin and nearby villages. The survey findings underwent a static programme analysis in Statistica 9.1 software (StatSoft, Poland).ConclusionsThe identification of nutritional knowledge and dietary behaviours of consumers as well as determination of the level and diversity of their nutritional awareness should become the basis for the preparation of guidelines on the content of broadcasts in order to promote healthy eating habits among consumers of different groups.
It was described features of use the bronchial valves in patients with pneumoempyema,techniques of procedure. We described the complications as sociated with using of bronchial valves, and methods of their elimination.
Introduction. Man is the only being that has created an artificial environment, or civilization. The development of civilization entails changes in the environment. The rapid growth of the impact of human economic activity has led to such changes that are able to threaten not only other living creatures but also themselves. Increasing environmental pollution are well-known factors negative influencing on human environment. Is now a global problem. Anthropogenic pollution contribute to the unfavorable demographic changes and grooving number of health problems of the population. Unfavourable demographic changes manifest themselves as not only increment in the number of deaths and malformations (defects in the reproductive organs), but also as decrement in the fertility rates being the consequence of increasing the growing problem of couples infertility. There is observed the increasing role of male factor in the couple infertility problem. In some developed countries its participation rate reaches 50%.Objective. The aim of the study is to assess the impact of environmental pollution on human development and reproductive function of male gonads.Material and methods. The study was carried out using the method of data analysis published in the works and scientific reports.Current state of knowledge. The paper presents information on identified environmental pollution with proven adverse effects on the development of the gonads and the their reproductive function. There are also known possible negative impacts of environmental pollution on carcinogenesis in male gonads.Wider awareness of the negative impact of environmental pollution and attempts put emphasis on primary prevention can give better long-term effects than increasing spending on the therapies of developmental disorders as well as gonadal dysfunctions symptoms including fertility problems.Conclusions.Among the environmental pollutants there are many chemicals adversely affecting the organogenesis as well as reproductive function of testicles.Many of these contaminants are pesticides or chemicals currently approved for use in agriculture and industry, including the food and cosmetics industry.Those chemicals, adversely affecting organogenesis and testicular generative function, are present in air, water and foods, packaged foods and everyday objects - including clothes (ingredients sponges), perfumes, creams and detergents.The increase in environmental pollution coincides with the deterioration of sperm quality and reduction in male infertility in highly civilized countries.Striving for continuous reduction of the environmental seems to be necessary to stop the growing problem of couples infertility.
IntroductionAging stands for the changes in the human body, which are recognized as natural processes that concern every person and are related to the passage of time. Despite ‘normalness’ of the process, a tendency is emerging to treat aging as a pathology requiring proper diagnostics. Consequently, an ‘anti-aging’ medicine has been established - defined as study of preventing and slowing down the process of aging.Aim of the studyThe aim of this study is to summarize and present the current knowledge, based on the overview of writing on the properties and effectiveness of the use of PRP in anti-aging therapy. Description of knowledge Autologous platelet-rich plasma is a concentrate of human blood platelets suspended in a small amount of plasma, wherein concentration of thrombocytes is higher than initial concentration. For autologous plasma to have high healing properties, platelet levels should be at least 1 million in 5 ml of plasma.The basic condition for initiating repair and regenerative processes in vivo is the formation of a blood clot. Also, by degranulating, platelets release many growth factors, such as PDGF, TGF-β, EGF, FGF, VEGF and others, which are involved not only in blood coagulation, but also in immune response and tissue healing.The large variety of PRP-obtaining methods and the range of concentration levels of growth factors in PRP may lead to ambiguity in the literature, as to the extent to which formulation was actually used in a variety of preclinical and clinical studies. Some of those studies are presented in this article. Summary Platelet-rich treatments are part of the growing popularity of regenerative medicine, which is beginning to be recognized as the medicine of the future. However, without proper control methods or optimization of numerous variables (e.g. concentration or ratio of growth factors) during PRP preparation, it is not known which ingredients are needed and preferred, and which are harmful for tissue regeneration.However, numerous studies show PRP injection as a promising method of rejuvenating the skin, therefore platelet-rich treatments are an important part of the growing popularity of regenerative medicine.
Ergototherapy is a valuable addition to kinesiotherapy, especially at further stages of improvement. Its one of the basic tasks is to facilitate basic manual activities by skillfully selecting occupations and working methods. On the other hand, its intentional and planned effect is to improve the fitness of the body by increasing the range of movements in the joints, increasing the strength of the muscles, and improving the coordination and the manual ability of the hand. One of the methods of ergoterapeutic birds is gardening classes. These classes give you the opportunity to work in different work positions, engage different muscle groups, and require strength and knowledge.The aim of this paper is to present possible methods of ergotherapeutic work in the garden in patients with spasticity of upper limbs.
Introduction. Morphological changes of the cerebellar lobules are found in many congenital and acquired diseases of the cerebellum, but the information on the normal structure of the cerebellar lobules do not take into account the peculiarities of individual anatomical variability, sex and age characteristics.Aim – to investigate anatomical variability and fractal dimension of the white matter of the human cerebellar hemispheres.Material and methods. The study involved 100 cerebella of people of both sexes, who died of causes unrelated to brain pathology (20–99 years old). Parasagittal sections of the cerebellar hemispheres were investigated.Results. On parasagittal sections number of main branches of white matter is very varied and depends on peculiarities of structure of the hemispheric lobules. It was found that there is individual variability of the structure of the human cerebellar hemispheres, namely white matter branching features. We described variants of the branching of the main branches of white matter of the human cerebellar hemispheres.Fractal dimension of the white matter was determined. The white matter of the cerebellum is typical quasi-fractal structure that can be objectively described using fractal dimension. Fractal index of the white matter of the cerebellar hemispheres varies from 1.119 to 1.519; average fractal index is 1.370. Fractal analysis can be used as an objective morphometric criterion for the diagnosis of various diseases of the cerebellum and other structures of the central nervous system.Conclusions. Described variants of the cerebellar lobules and fractal dimension can be used as criteria for modern diagnostic imaging techniques for the diagnosis of various diseases of the CNS. The data can be used as the basis for atlases of serial sections of the cerebellum.
The article discusses the issues of pathogenesis and diagnostics of different variants of dizziness, as one of the main symptoms of traumatic brain injury. Along with traumatic brain injury raises concussion of the labyrinth benign paroxysmal positional vertigo and others described a range of diagnostic assessment techniques and differential diagnosis of post-traumatic nystagmus, as well as the adequacy of the practical application of a number of vestibulometric studies, caloric tests, tests, medical maneuvers, and their effectiveness from a position of evidence-based medicine.
In the general-somatic network there is a steady increase in the number of patients with psychosomatic disorders. Problems of providing adequate psychiatric and psychotherapeutic assistance to this category of patients are related to the motivation of patients to participate in psychological measures and the readiness of the medical system to provide comprehensive care on the basis of the biopsychosocial approach. Mental factors are involved both in the occurrence and course of a metabolic syndrome in the form of a patient's lifestyle and behavior patterns of healthy functioning, and is a consequence of somatic pathology. Mental factors are involved both in the occurrence and course of a metabolic syndrome in the form of a patient's lifestyle and behavior patterns of healthy functioning, and is a consequence of somatic pathology. So mental disorders of metabolic syndrome are manifested in the form of psychosocial maladaptation, neurotic, affective, personality, and organic disorders. Desynchronosis which is a factor of the development of a metabolic syndrome and characterizes the complex chronobiological component of the regulation of psychophysiological functions in norm and under the influence of stress, deserves special attention.Addressing the diagnosis of mental disorders associated with metabolic syndrome is precisely aimed at determining chronobiological disorders of psychosomatic integrated areas and is supposed to improve diagnostic and treatment process and to shorten the treatment of these disorders.
Today, current problems and pneumonia, gastric ulcers, which can be regarded as an independent disease or as a complication. In this paper we describe the contents of cytokines (CC) in the blood during the early period of experimental pneumonia disease and stomach ulcers. For the experiment, we selected two models of disease: experimental pneumonia (EP) and peptic ulcer (PU). Materials and methods. The study was conducted on 39 male guinea pigs, weighing 180 - 210 g test animals were divided into three groups. The experimental pneumonia caused by the method Shlyapnykova V. N., Solodova T. L., gastric ulcer simulated method Komarov V. I. All guinea pigs carried determine the concentration of cytokines: TNF-α, IL-6 and IL-10 in serum using ELISA (ELISA) using the kits of the company «Diaclone» (France), according to the enclosed instructions. Digital statistical results processed by using Student's criterion. Results and discussion. In the study of the system EP and cytokines in VHSH found that in the test day of the experiment were as likely changes in the content of proinflammatory and antiinflammatory cytokines compared with the group of intact animals Results and discussion, CC proinflammatory IL-6 was found to increase its concentration to 61.1% (r≤0,05) on the fourth day, the eighth day of the disease models, this figure increased by 68.9% (r≤ 0.05) compared with kotrolem. A similar trend was observed from the following cytokines - TNF-α, which is typical of proinflammatory cytokines and other markers of generalized non-specific inflammation. There was increase in this indicator in fourth and eighth days of TNF-α respectively 59.4% (r≤0,05) and 65.6% (r≤0,05) relatively intact group of porpoises. Consequently, studies cytokine profile in serum under conditions established experimental models of diseases increase in the pool of inflammatory CC. Analysis of anti-inflammatory cytokine IL-10 for 4 days and VHSH EP showed its reduction by 22.5% (r≤0,05) when compared to the 1st group of animals experiment. Reduction of the Central Committee observed for 8 days at 31.4% (r≤0,05) compared with control animals. Thus, the study of cytokines (TNF-α, IL-6 and IL-10) showed increase in proinflammatory and anti-inflammatory interleukins decline, indicating that the balance between pro- and anti-inflammatory CC.
IntroductionNursing is a profession of public trust, which, because of the nature of work with another person, is subjected to constant evaluation.Aim Evaluation of the perception of the profession of nurse by the youth of the matura classes.Material and methodsThe study was conducted from February to April 2016 in randomly selected post-gymnasium schools. The questionnaire survey was used for the study.ResultsThe study involved 105 students in the matura classes, among them 77 were women, which constituted 67% and 35 men, which is 33% of the total population studied. Nineteen were 64 of them, 61% of the total, and 41 of them, 39% of the respondents. Research shows that young people consider the profession of Nursing / Nurse to be a profession of interest to such an answer, more than half of the respondents 54.3%. Only 28.6% of respondents consider the profession of nurse to be unattractive. Respondents indicated that the majority of the high school students surveyed were 54 (51.4%) who did not want to work as a nurse / nurse, only 27 (25.7%) of the respondents expressed their willingness to work in the profession, 24 ( 22.9%) people abstained from the answer. The strange fact is that young people in most professions of nurses find it interesting.ConclusionsAccording to junior high school students, the profession of nurse / nurse is an interesting profession. The person who is a future trainee should be qualified; Sense of responsibility, communicativeness, theoretical and practical knowledge. The profession of the nurse of the examined youth is associated with the assistant, assistant doctor.
IntroductionPatient’s confidence is very important in patient – doctor communication. It is very vital when we talk about efficient medical care because it can improve this care significently. It is particularly important for people who can not contact with it easily. Thanks to watching relations between patient and doctor we can get to know the way the patient judges references of the doctor during his professional activities.The aim of the thesisThe aim of these studies was to estimate the level of patient’s confidence after the last medical appointment. The studies were made with the help of Anderson and Dedrick scale. ResultsPatients were satisfied after the appointment when during the examination they could see a telephone and a computer on the desk, medical equipment and other medical things. The doctor was closer than 61 cm from them and patients could not see any physical barriers. During the examination the position of the doctor was open, he used gestures and he was sitting face to face to the patient (angle 180° or 90°). His eyes were at the same level as patient’s eyes. ConclusionsThe ability of proper communication with the patient is a very important element of medical care. However, it is often underestimated. But efficiency of therapy and efficiency of diagnostics depend on these factors.
In the work, we studied the parameters of the psychological and emotional state of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus on the background of excessive body weight. Psychological and emotional state studies were conducted using the Patient Health Questionnaire-PHQ-9, questionnaire the hospital scale of anxiety and depression (HADS). A comparison of the frequency of occurrence of anxiety-depressive disorders and the study of the degree of their severity in the patients under study. The study revealed that negative changes in the indicators of psychological and emotional state in patients with type 2 diabetes are six times more likely than in healthy people.
A doctor’s adaptation to medical activity has a great influence on the effectiveness of his professional activity. The objective: to explore individual psychological predictors of the formation of maladaptation states of internship doctors for the development of a system for their diagnosis, correction and psychoprophylaxis. A comprehensive clinical-psychological, psychodiagnostic and clinical-anamnestic examination of 213 internship doctors of the first year of training atKharkovNationalMedicalUniversity, 116 women and 97 men, aged 22-25 years old had been conducted. It had been established that internship doctors are characterized by feelings of internal tension and dissatisfaction, decreased mood, irritability, anxiety, long-term uncertain negative emotions, unmotivated fears, self-doubt, doubts about making decisions, decline in intellectual activityin conjunction with increased exhaustion and withdrawal mercurial attention. We have developed a system of medical and psychological support during the professional training period depending on the type of disadaptation. The psychotherapeutic complex in the internship doctors included the use of rational psychotherapy, autogenous training (psychotonic version of Shogham-Mirovsky), art therapy, progressive muscle relaxation by Jacobson, cognitive-behavioral therapy of Beck, autogenous training in the modification of Lebedinsky - Bortnik, etc. were used. The results of a three-year catamnestic study proved the effectiveness of the proposed system of psychotherapeutic correction of disorders of adaptation, positive dynamics of the mental state was noted, the maladaptive states were reduced; 92.6% of the examined recurrences of the violations of adaptation did not occur.
