Filozoficzne aspekty przyzwyczajenia

This article describes philosophical aspects of the group of phenomena which are closely related to an English word “habit” and Latin habitus. The author uses a term “habit” when meaning a large set of effects of the process of habituating or accustoming in multiple descriptions – the following meanings seem to be the most popular: tendency, disposition, motor skill, unreflective/automatic behavior, attitude or mental state. The process appears in two different dimensions, as a habituation, it refers to a psychophysiological process of adaptation to constantly repeated stimulus, and as a habit formation, it usually refers to the formation of automatic response to stimulus in a behavioral sense. The author signalises a wide range of subjects mentioned in this article because all mentioned phenomena are included in the Polish term “przyzwyczajenie”, which here is understood as a process or an effect of a process existing in the psychophysical sphere as a scheme, which is formed by a long-time repetition with a characteristic reduction of attention proportional to progression made in the learning process.The main purpose of the research is to present that phenomena of the process and effects of habituating can be analyzed in a philosophical sense as an important category and described in ethical, epistemological, aesthetical and anthropological areas. The process and effects of habituating can be considered in reference to the problem of fundamental philosophical dichotomy like ‘subjective vs. objective’, ‘empirical vs. rational’ and ‘relative vs. absolute’. They can also be described in the context of values – truth, goodness and beauty.This article describes philosophical aspects of the group of phenomena which are closely related to an English word “habit” and Latin habitus.

The application of orthopedic equipment in the form of orthoses in children suffering from cerebral palsy

Cerebral palsy is a broad term, including various, changing with age movement and postural disorders of cerebral origin [1]. Gait of children suffering from cerebral palsy is characterized by changeability. Observed gait abnormalities are caused by incorrect steering of movements of a child and they are the effects of brain damage and compensation mechanisms. The orthoses should be applied in children suffering from cerebral palsy to protect against deformations of lower limbs. An orthosis prevents the occurrence of articular contractures, probably as a result of inhibition of biomechanical changes in periarticular collagen caused by immobilization [9,10]. Selecting an appropriate orthosis is a key element of the process of treatment of diseases of musculoskeletal system. Orthosis should always be selected individually, depending on the needs and capabilities of a patient. The following orthoses can be distinguished: ankle joint orthoses, dynamic foot orthosis and complex orthoses stabilizing ankle joint, knee joint and hip joint. Selecting an appropriate orthopedic equipment is a very important aspect in complex rehabilitation of children suffering from cerebral palsy

Development of Asymmetric Facial Depigmentation in a Patient Treated with Dasatinib with New-Onset Hypovitaminosis D: Case Report and Review of the Literature

Dasatinib is a second-generation tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) used to treat imatinib-resistant chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML), as well as other Philadelphia chromosome-positive lymphoproliferative disorders. While the most commonly reported cutaneous side effects with this therapy include a morbilliform eruption, skin exfoliation, and skin irritation, pigmentary abnormalities have also been observed, albeit much more rarely. We present the case of a 72-year-old South Asian male with CML who presented with new-onset hypopigmentation of his face and scalp three years after a dose increase of dasatinib therapy, in the setting of newly discovered borderline hypovitaminosis D. Dasatinib and the other TKIs are believed to induce dyschromias via modulation of the c-kit receptor and its associated signaling pathway, which is involved in melanocyte survival, proliferation, and migration
