In this study, we conducted an experiment in which we analyzed the possibilities to develop visual skills by specifically targeted training of visual search. The aim of our study was to investigate whether, for how long and to what extent a training program for visual functions could improve visual search. The study involved 24 healthy students from the Szczecin University who were divided into two groups: experimental (12) and control (12). In addition to regular sports and recreational activities of the curriculum, the subjects of the experimental group also participated in 8-week long training with visual functions, 3 times a week for 45 min. The Signal Test of the Vienna Test System was performed four times: before entering the study, after first 4 weeks of the experiment, immediately after its completion and 4 weeks after the study terminated. The results of this experiment proved that an 8-week long perceptual training program significantly differentiated the plot of visual detecting time. For the visual detecting time changes, the first factor, Group, was significant as a main effect (F(1,22)=6.49, p<0.05) as well as the second factor, Training (F(3,66)=5.06, p<0.01). The interaction between the two factors (Group vs. Training) of perceptual training was F(3,66)=6.82 (p<0.001). Similarly, for the number of correct reactions, there was a main effect of a Group factor (F(1,22)=23.40, p<0.001), a main effect of a Training factor (F(3,66)=11.60, p<0.001) and a significant interaction between factors (Group vs. Training) (F(3,66)=10.33, p<0.001). Our study suggests that 8-week training of visual functions can improve visual search performance.

Binocular vision is the most important visual cue for spatial orientation in many sports. In this study, we investigated how binocular vision was influenced by an eye training program that may be used to improve individual’s oculomotor function. The experiment involved twenty-four female student athletes from team ball sports (soccer, basketball, handball). After an initial testing session, 12 participants were randomly allocated to the experimental group. Optometric investigation which included synoptophore testing and a test of dissociated horizontal phoria based on the Maddox method was performed three times: before the experiment, after eight weeks of eye training (3 times a week for 20 minutes), and four weeks after the experiment was terminated. Eye exercise methodology was based on orthoptic, sport and psychological aspects of performance. The phoria screening examination showed that exophoria was the most frequent disorder of binocular vision. Low fusional vergence range was also observed. Following the training period, 3 of the 6 oculomotor variables improved. The greatest effect was observed in near dissociated phoria (χ²=14.56, p=0.001 for the right eye; χ²=14.757, p=0.001 for the left eye) and fusional convergence (χ²=8.522, p=0.014). The results of the retention test conducted four weeks after the experiment confirmed the effectiveness of the vision training program. The results of the study suggest that binocular functions are trainable and can be improved by means of appropriate visual training

Rozwój ropni u człowieka jest warunkowany obecnością drobnoustrojów w środowisku życia. Nie jest to jednak jedyny czynnik środowiskowy wpływający na częstość ich występowania. W ostatnich kilkudziesięciu latach opublikowano dane wskazujące na wpływ ciśnienia atmosferycznego i temperatury na rozwój ropni ścian i struktur jamy ustnej. Istnieją również doniesienia o zależności częstości występowania ropni oczodołu, wątroby i śledziony od pory roku. Uwzględnienie modyfikującego wpływu środowiska na zapadalność na zapalenie ropne poszerza zakres możliwych analiz populacyjnych i klinicznych.

Development of abscesses in humans is conditioned by the presence of microorganisms in the living environment, but this is not the only one environmental factor affecting the frequency of their occurrence. Data indicating the importance of atmospheric pressure and temperature for the development of abscesses in walls and structures of the oral cavity was published overpast several dozen years. There are also reports of the incidence of orbital abscesses and abscesses of the liver and spleen depending on the seasons. Taking into account the modifying effect of the environment on the incidence of purulent inflammation broadens the range of possible population studies and clinical thinking.
