Nietrzeźwi młodzi kierowcy i ich wpływ na bezpieczeństwo ruchu drogowego

We have to consider the fact that alcohol is a legal drug. The spread of alcohol consumption reflects also in the road traffic safety; nevertheless, alcohol is a significant factor in traffic accidence occurrence, especially in those with serious consequences. In the last few years traffic crashes with fatalities are just following one another and are mostly caused by drivers who consumed alcohol. Adolescents between ages 15 and 24 are one of the most endangered groups of people in traffic, especially drivers and passenger between ages 15 and 24. Adolescents tend to acquire drivers licence as soon as possible in order to enter into drivers’ world. Young drivers as participants in traffic represent a bigger danger as they consume alcohol and drive, than older experienced drivers with the same level of alcohol in blood. We have precisely examined the topic on traffic accidents, young drivers and alcohol intoxication in our country and abroad. We have also carried out a field investigation – conducted a survey in the district Nova Vas - Celje. We came to conclusions which we found very much disturbing as they based on the analysis of results and processed information.Musimy wziąć pod uwagę fakt, że alkohol jest legalnym narkotykiem. Rozprzestrzenianie konsumpcji alkoholu oddziałuje również na bezpieczeństwo ruchu drogowego. Alkohol jest istotnym czynnikiem wystąpienia wypadków, zwłaszcza tych o poważnych konsekwencjach. W ciągu ostatnich kilku lat wypadki z ofiarami śmiertelnymi następują jeden po drugim i są głównie spowodowane przez kierowców spożywających alkohol. Młodzież w wieku pomiędzy 15 i 24 rokiem życia jest jedną z najbardziej zagrożonych grup w ruchu, zwłaszcza kierowcy i pasażerowie w wieku 15 i 24 lat. Młodzież ma tendencję do zdobywania prawa jazdy jak to tylko możliwe, aby wejść do świata kierowców. Młodzi kierowcy, jako uczestnicy ruchu stanowią większe zagrożenie spożywający alkohol i prowadząc, niż kierowcy z większym doświadczeniem z taką samą zawartością alkoholu we krwi. Ten temat dokładnie zbadaliśmy na wypadkach drogowych, młodych kierowców w naszym kraju i za granicą. Przeprowadziliśmy również śledztwo terenowe – badanie w dzielnicy Nova Vas – Celje. Na podstawie analizy wyników i przetwarzanych informacji doszliśmy do konkluzji, które wydają się być bardzo niepojące

Randomized Feeding Intervention in Infants at High Risk for Celiac Disease

BACKGROUND A window of opportunity has been suggested for reducing the risk of celiac disease by introducing gluten to infants at 4 to 6 months of age. METHODS We performed a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled dietary-intervention study involving 944 children who were positive for HLA-DQ2 or HLA-DQ8 and had at least one first-degree relative with celiac disease. From 16 to 24 weeks of age, 475 participants received 100 mg of immunologically active gluten daily, and 469 received placebo. Anti-transglutaminase type 2 and antigliadin antibodies were periodically measured. The primary outcome was the frequency of biopsy-confirmed celiac disease at 3 years of age. RESULTS Celiac disease was confirmed by means of biopsies in 77 children. To avoid underestimation of the frequency of celiac disease, 3 additional children who received a diagnosis of celiac disease according to the 2012 European Society for Pediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology, and Nutrition diagnostic criteria (without having undergone biopsies) were included in the analyses (80 children; median age, 2.8 years; 59% were girls). The cumulative incidence of celiac disease among patients 3 years of age was 5.2% (95% confidence interval [CI], 3.6 to 6.8), with similar rates in the gluten group and the placebo group (5.9% [95% CI, 3.7 to 8.1] and 4.5% [95% CI, 2.5 to 6.5], respectively; hazard ratio in the gluten group, 1.23; 95% CI, 0.79 to 1.91). Rates of elevated levels of anti-transglutaminase type 2 and antigliadin antibodies were also similar in the two study groups (7.0% [95% CI, 4.7 to 9.4] in the gluten group and 5.7% [95% CI, 3.5 to 7.9] in the placebo group; hazard ratio, 1.14; 95% CI, 0.76 to 1.73). Breast-feeding, regardless of whether it was exclusive or whether it was ongoing during gluten introduction, did not significantly influence the development of celiac disease or the effect of the intervention. CONCLUSIONS As compared with placebo, the introduction of small quantities of gluten at 16 to 24 weeks of age did not reduce the risk of celiac disease by 3 years of age in this group of high-risk children.
