Introduction. Given the unfavorable economic conditions prevailing in Poland at the turn of the century (system transformation), it seemed advisable to investigate whether parents' education, generally associated positively with the economic situation of the family, still plays an important role in somatic and motor development of their children. Material and methods. The study involved 715 boys, aged 10, 14 and 18, born in the years 1988-1996 and coming from one of the least economically developed region of the country (Lubelskie Vivodeship). Because of parents' education, respondents were divided into two groups: born in families with higher (A) and lower (B) education. Somatic development was assessed based on measurements of height, weight and BMI, and physical fitness on the basis of Eurofit test. Arithmetic means of the somatic and fitness features was normalized according to the arithmetic means and SD of the whole material. Results. Group A was characterized by higher values of the somatic parameters and lower values of motor parameters as compared to group B. Standardization of the results showed that the larger deviation from the average value for the whole material in most somatic and certain fitness features occurred in group B. Conclusions. Despite the unfavorable economic conditions, in which surveyed boys were born and grew up, there was a positive relationship between education of parents and somatic development. This dependency was not observed in the case study of the impact of education of parents on the physical fitness of boys.

The results obtained confirmed by a negative correlation in relationship with the first semester general score and Facebook addiction by the BFAS test, and a significant relationship between the increase in Facebook addiction in parallel with the state of anxiety (P <.001) and Nomophobia (P <.000). We have been able to pick up the negative impact of the social media exposure on the performance and mental health of adolescent students. in order to have a solution from this plague in the future.

In this work, we describe the boundary percentile scope values of transversal characteristics of the dental arch of boys and girls of Podillia, with diagnosed orthognathic bite. The study group consists of individuals with different forms of head and face. Our findings are that, in girls, unlike boys, set differences exist in the transversal dimensions of the upper and lower jaw, both in the distribution of the shape of the head, and the type of face. In boys with different head shape, larger values of transversal size of dental arch are evidenced when contrasted with the corresponding groups of girls, regarding the maxilla in 46.7% of all cases and the mandible in 22.2% of all cases, as well as with different types of faces in 66.7% of cases regarding the maxilla and 55.6% in the mandible.

Dust mite allergens are common factors causing bronchial hypersensitivity in children with diagnosed bronchial asthma. As one of the main type of allergens in the domestic environment, they take a signifi cant part in this process. The authors studied the severity of bronchial asthma (according to GINA 2006) of 16 children and teenagers with confi rmed allergy to mites, who lived in the city situated in Upper Silesia, in correlation to acarofauna of their dwellings. Mite species, their number in 1 g of dust and guanine concentration in 1 g of dust (Acarex test) were examined in 57 house samples from 16 houses or fl ats. The dominant species were Dermatophagoides farinae and D. pteronyssinus; other species of mites, such as: Euroglyphus mayenei, Gymnoglyphus longior, Acarus siro, Tyrophagus putrescentiae, Lepidoglyphus destructor, Lepidoglyphus fustifer occurred only sporadically. There was no correlation found between the severity of bronchial asthma and the level of exposure to mite allergens from household environments in the studied group of mite-sensitive children and teenagers.

U dzieci z astmą oskrzelową alergeny roztoczy kurzu domowego są często czynnikami powodującymi nadreaktywność oskrzeli. Jako jedne z głównych alergenów w środowisku domowym mają w tym względzie duże znaczenie. Autorzy poddali analizie stopień ciężkości astmy oskrzelowej (wg GINA 2006) u 16 osób w wieku rozwojowym mieszkających w mieście na Górnym Śląsku), wykazujących alergię na roztocze, w odniesieniu do akarofauny kurzu z ich mieszkań. Pod uwagę wzięto gatunki roztoczy, ich liczbę w 1 g kurzu oraz stężenie guaniny w 1 g kurzu (Acarex test). Dominującymi gatunkami były D. farinae i D. pteronyssinus, a inne gatunki roztoczy (Euroglyphus mayenei, Gymnoglyphus longior, Acarus siro, Tyrophagus putrescentiae, Lepidoglyphus destructor, Lepidoglyphus fustifer) występowały sporadycznie. Nie stwierdzono zależności stopnia ciężkości astmy oskrzelowej od stopnia narażenia na alergeny roztoczy w środowisku domowym osób objętych badaniem.
