СУЧАСНІ АСПЕКТИ ПРОБЛЕМИ БРОНХОЛЕГЕНЕВОЇ ДИСПЛАЗІЇ У НЕДОНОШЕНИХ НОВОНАРОДЖЕНИХ

Bronchopulmonary dysplasia remains important cause of morbidity of very premature infants significantly affecting their long-term outcomes. Despite the all developments and latest advances in perinatal medicine the incidence of BPD has not decreased much during the last decades. Significant changes in BPD definition, pathology, pathophysiology, clinical course, radiological findings and management have occurred over the last 40 years. After many years of intensive and extensive investigations aimed to study mechanisms of BPD development and elaborate effective methods of its prevention and treatment, there is a discouraging paucity of proven safe and beneficial therapies to prevent or limit the severity of BPD. Additional researches are needed to fully understand the pathogenesis of BPD and develop improved interventions in the prevention and management of the condition.БЛД остается важной причиной заболеваемости и смертности глубоконедоношенных младенцев, существенно влияя на исходы их выхаживания. Несмотря на развитие и современные достижения перинатологии, частота этого заболевания в течение последнего десятилетия достоверно не снизилась. За последние 40 лет значительно изменились определение, патогенез, патофизиология, клиническое течение, диагностические критерии, а также подходы к лечению БЛД. После длительного периода интенсивных и масштабных исследований, направленных на изучение причин и механизмов возникновения БЛД, а также разработку методов профилактики и лечения, известны только несколько безопасных и эффективных вмешательств, которые могут предупредить развитие или действенно лечить эту проблему. Остается актуальным проведение новых исследований, которые помогут глубже понять патогенез БЛД и разработать эффективные профилактические и лечебные мероприятия.БЛД залишається важливою причиною захворюваності і смертності глибоконедоношених немовлят, істотно впливаючи на кінцеві результати 'їх виходжування. Незважаючи на розвиток і сучасні досягнення перинатології, частота цього захворювання протягом останнього десятиріччя істотно не зменшилась. Упродовж останніх 40 років істотно змінились визначення, патогенез, патофізіологія, клінічний перебіг, діагностичні критерії, а також підходи до лікування БЛД. Після тривалого періоду інтенсивних і масштабних досліджень, спрямованих на вивчення причин і механізмів виникнення цієї проблеми, а також розробку методів профілактики і лікування, відомі лише декілька безпечних і ефективних втручань, які можуть запобігти розвиткові або дієво лікувати БЛД. Залишається актуальним проведення нових досліджень, спрямованих на подальше вивчення патогенезу цього захворювання і розробку ефективних профілактичних і лікувальних заходів

Response timing in the lunge and target change in elite versus medium-level fencers.

The aim of the present work is to examine the differences between two groups of fencers with different levels of competition, elite and medium level. The timing parameters of the response reaction have been compared together with the kinetic variables which determine the sequence of segmented participation used during the lunge with a change in target during movement. A total of 30 male sword fencers participated, 13 elite and 17 medium level. Two force platforms recorded the horizontal component of the force and the start of the movement. One system filmed the movement in 3D, recording the spatial positions of 11 markers, while another system projected a mobile target over a screen. For synchronisation, an electronic signal enabled all the systems to be started simultaneously. Among the timing parameters of the reaction response, the choice reaction time (CRT) to the target change during the lunge was measured. The results revealed differences between the groups regarding the flight time, horizontal velocity at the end of the acceleration phase, and the length of the lunge, these being higher for the elite group, as well as other variables related to the temporal sequence of movement. No significant differences have been found in the simple reaction time or in CRT. According to the literature, the CRT appears to improve with sports practice, although this factor did not differentiate the elite from medium-level fencers. The coordination of fencing movements, that is, the right technique, constitutes a factor that differentiates elite fencers from medium-level ones

Level of pro-health behavior of women from rural and metropolitan environment who are active on the health-related Internet portals

The development of health education, education in the scope of healthy lifestyles is significantly affected by the mass media, and primarily the Internet, which is an interactive source of information and the space to acquire competencies supporting health. Access to the Internet is getting more and more widespread; also the range of easily accessible content, related to the lifestyle has expanded. Migrations of populations tend to impair the traditionally understood image of the urban and rural environments. Technological advances in the field of transport communications and IT have also reduced the distance between the two discussed environments. The aim of this study was to assess the level of pro-health behaviors of women who are interested in a healthy lifestyle, and who live both in the countryside and in large cities. The study involved 78 women from the towns with up to 3 thousand inhabitants and 130 from the cities with a population over 100 thousand inhabitants. All research participants were active participants in one of the largest health services for mature women in Poland. The research was part of the PARP project -Global health problems, implemented by the Foundation ‘Smak Żcia’. Standardized research tools Health Behavior Inventory were applied according to the adaptation of Z. Juczyńki. As many as 30% of patients achieved a low level of pro-health behaviors, 45% obtained an average score, and only 25%-a high one, which due to an interest in the subject of a healthy lifestyle, occurring as a constant activity on the online health portal, can be regarded as an unsatisfactory result. The research participants (female subscribers of advice from pro-health service) willing to share their experience, commented on a variety of content related to health issues, however, the level of their health behaviors did not differ significantly from the average values for the Polish population. There was no statistically significant difference in the level of realized health behaviors between women living in rural and metropolitan environments. Research confirmed that Internet theme services concerning issues of a healthy lifestyle, are a chance to equalize disparities in pro-health behaviors, and consequently - in health itself, thus initiatives of raising interest in health education through the mass media ought to be supported

It can also have a significant impact on the quality of life of older working-age people. The aim of the present study was to assess the relationships between quality of life and physical activity in older working-age people from Wroclaw, Poland.Materials and methods: The study group comprised 1,013 people, including 565 women and 448 men, aged 55–64 years (59.1±2.9 years). The study took form of a questionnaire survey. The participants assessed their physical activity and quality of life using the International Physical Activity Questionnaire Short Version (IPAQ-SF) and the World Health Organization Quality of Life (WHOQOL-BREF), respectively.Results: The highest mean indices of general quality of life, perceived health status, and quality of life in the physical, psychological, social, and environmental domains were shown by respondents whose intensity of physical activity was the highest. Moreover, the odds of high assessment of overall quality of life increased with respondents’ higher levels of physical activity.Conclusion: Quality of life improvement programs should also involve increased physical activity components. Keywords: physical activity, IPAQ-SF, quality of life, WHOQOL-BREF, big city environmen
