Założenia: Oddychanie jest procesem złożonym. Wiele czynników zarówno zewnętrznych jak i wewnętrznych ma wpływ na jego przebieg. Są to również czynniki psychiczne.Cel: Celem prezentowanych badań była analiza ruchów oddechowych klatki piersiowej osób ze stwierdzoną depresją oraz osób bez depresji.Materiał i metoda: Badano 33 osoby (22 kobiety, 11 mężczyzn) ze zdiagnozowaną depresją w okresie częściowej remisji (śr. wiek 53,1 ±8,4 lat) oraz 23 zdrowe osoby bez depresji (15 kobiet, 8 mężczyzn) (śr. wiek 55 ±12,6 lat). U badanych osób nie stwierdzono otyłości ani wad postawy mogących mieć wpływ na wynik badań. Żadna z badanych osób nie była leczona z powodu chorób układu oddechowego. Do badań ruchów oddechowych klatki piersiowej użyto urządzenie Respiratory Belts. W ocenie ruchów klatki piersiowej uwzględniono: zakres ruchów oddechowych górnej i dolnej części klatki piersiowej, ilość oddechów, ilość wstrzymywań oddechów na wdechu, średni czas wstrzymania oddechu na wdechu, ilość wstrzymań oddechu na wydechu, średni czas wstrzymania oddechu na wydechu. Badania ruchomości klatki piersiowej przeprowadzono w pozycji stojącej i siedzącej. Czas rejestracji wynosił 3 minuty.Wyniki: U osób z depresją amplitudy ruchów oddechowych klatki piersiowej były mniejsze. Większa była też częstotliwość oddechów. Wnioski: Depresja ma wpływ na wzorzec oddechowy.

Background: Breathing is a complex process. Many factors, both external and internal and also including psychological factors, influence the course of respiration. Objective: The aim of this study was to analyze the chest respiratory movements of people diagnosed with depression and those without depression.Material and methods: The research material consisted of 33 persons diagnosed with depression, being in a state of partial remission and 23 healthy subjects. The average age of the person with depression examined was 53.1 years (±8.4) and without depression 55 years (±12.6). In the group of those examined obesity or postural defects, which might affect the outcome of the study, were not found. None of the evaluated subjects were treated for respiratory diseases. To examine the respiratory movements of the chest, Respiratory Belts were used. The assessment of chest movements included: the range of the respiratory motion of the upper and lower part of the chest, the number of breathes, the number of holded breathes during inspiration, the average time of the holded breathe during inspiration, the number of holded breathes during expiration, the average time of the holded breathe during expiration. An examination of chest mobility in a standing and sitting position was carried out. The recording time was 3 minutes.Results: In patients with depression the amplitudes of chest respiratory movements were smaller. The breathe frequency was higher.Conclusions: Depression affects the breathing pattern.

The study was conducted on an experiment established in the area of the former Sulphur Mine “Jeziorko.” The remediation was applied to a soil-less formation with particle size distribution of weakly loamy sand, strongly acidified and with bad sorptive properties (Corg. - 2.0 g kg−1; pHKCl - 4.3; T - 7.0 cmol(+) kg−1). In the particular treatments of the experiment the following were applied to the soil-less formation: flotation lime and NPK; lime and sewage sludge; sewage sludge; mineral wool (5 cm 50 cm−1), lime and NPK; mineral wool (5 cm 50 cm−1), lime and sewage sludge; mineral wool (500 m3 ha−1), lime and NPK; mineral wool (500 m3 ha−1), lime and sewage sludge. Plots prepared in that manner were then sown with a mix of grasses. The control was the soil with no amendments. The analyses of the soil material comprised assays of the numbers of particular groups of bacteria and fungi, and of their biochemical and enzymatic activities. The study revealed that all the wastes applied for the remediation caused an increase in the numbers of the bacterial groups studied (copiotrophic, oligotrophic, cellulolytic, lipolytic), as well as in the respiration activity and rate of mineralisation of cellulose. That effect was the most pronounced in the case of sewage sludge. In treatments in which sewage sludge was applied, an increase was also observed in the numbers of the studied fungi (fungi on Martin medium, cellulolytic fungi, lipolytic fungi) and in lipase activity. Whereas, the application of the remaining wastes resulted in a slight decrease in the numbers of the fungal groups under analysis. Comparing the mean annual values of the analysed biological, physical, chemical and physicochemical properties it was found that the biological properties were as sensitive, and in the case of certain tests (numbers of cellulolytic and lipolytic bacteria, rate of cellulose mineralisation) even more sensitive indicators of positive changes taking place in the remediated soil.
