Badana grupa to koszykarki w wieku od 17 lat do 35 roku życia. Koszykarki na co dzień występują w polskich ligach. Przebadane zostało 125 zawodniczek, z czego 55 (44%) to zawodniczki wieku juniorskiego, natomiast 70 (56%) to seniorki.Wnioski:1. Koszykarki jako grupa ludzi uprawiających jedną dyscyplinę to zbiór dziewcząt o różnym temperamencie.2.Większość koszykarek to z natury osoby spokojne.3. Każda z koszykarek posiada własne sposoby na odreagowanie stresu przedmeczowego, lecz sposoby te powielają się.4.Grupy seniorskie mają większą odporność psychiczną na mecze rozgrywane w miejscu zamieszkania niż grupa młodsza.5.W dużym stopniu stres działa motywująco na zawodniczki.6. Osobami powodującymi stres są trener oraz rodzina i znajomi.7. Badane koszykarki prawie w ogóle nie korzystają z pomocy psychologów sportowych lub osób z wykształceniem psychologicznym. Abstract The aim of the research is to learn ways of coping with stress among basketball players in various age groups. The study group is basketball at the age of 17 years to 35 years old. The basketball every day occur in Polish leagues. Tested were 125 players, of which 55 (44%) is the junior players age, while 70 (56%) are seniors. Conclusions: 1. The basketball players as a group of people engaged in one discipline is a collection of girls with different temperament. 2.Większość basketball is naturally quiet person. 3. Each of basketball has its own ways to recover from the stress .przedmeczowego, but ways to reproduce themselves. 4.Grupy seniors have greater mental toughness at matches played at home than the younger group. 5. In the largely stress acts as a spur to the players. 6. Persons causing stress are the coach and the family and friends. 7. Tested basketball almost no benefit from the help of sports psychologists or people with psychological education

Directions of changes in the flora structure in the abandoned railway areas

In 2007-2008, floristic studies were carried out in active railway areas in NE Poland, as well as on railway tracks, which had been abandoned at different times. Only homogeneous habitats were surveyed (the area between the tracks and a narrow transect running parallel to the tracks). Trends in the transformation of the flora in abandoned railway areas were discussed: the retreat of alien species with a short life cycle, the encroachment of native perennial plants and an increase in the number of trees

The presence of facial nerve weakness on diagnosis of a parotid gland malignant process

The objectives of this article are to assess the frequency and significance of facial paralysis and undiagnosed nerve infiltration in patients with parotid malignancies. 103 patients with parotid gland malignancies were treated in a single institution, the tertiary center for ENT at the University Department in Poznan between 1996 and 2006. Facial palsy at the initial presentation was found in 32 patients. The stage of the primary tumor in the examined group of 103 patients is as follows: 20—T1, 31—T2, 20—T3, 32—T4. The correlation between facial nerve function before treatment and patients’ characteristics, including the treatment methods, were analyzed. Intact facial nerve function at patient presentation was a very strong prognostic factor determining the treatment and final outcome for malignant neoplasms of parotid gland. Similarly, T stage and a high-grade malignant histology had a direct influence on the duration of patients’ survival

Traditionally managed patch of Cladonia-Scots pine forest in the Biebrza valley – specifity of the protected forest community shaped by human activity

The path of Cladonia-Scots pine forest located on dune in Biebrza valley (NE Poland) was carefully studied in order to assess the influence of recently obsolescent selection cutting management on terrestrial lichen biota. Transect was located along the dune ridge crossing both lichen rich pine forests and other adjacent communities. Distinctive habitat patches were characterized by relevé. Within the relevé area measurements of cutting intensity and soil properties were carried out and soil samples were collected for laboratory analyses. It was found, that subsoil properties are rather similar on the whole dune, which indicates the main influence of management intensity on plant communities studied. All known development stages of Cladonio-Pinetum were observed. The characteristic lichen species preferred low organic horizon depth and low canopy closure. These factors are positively correlated with cutting intensity. The studied path was compared with other described patches of Cladonia-Scots pine in Poland and additional proposals of practices urgently needed to conserve these endangered habitat were given. In spite of already practiced slash removal, there are litter raking and complete cessation of clearcuts in favour of the selection cutting management are necessary for Cladonia-Scots pine forest conservation

Mieszany guz zarodkowy pierwotnie zlokalizowany w tarczycy - opis przypadku

Germ cells tumours most frequently occur in the gonads. Extragonadal localisation is rare and concerns mainly the mediastinum, retroperitoneum and pineal. We present the first description of a patient with a mixed germ cells tumour located primarily in the thyroid. A 35-year-old man in a good clinical condition was admitted to diagnose metastasis revealed in an X-ray of his lungs. Abnormal laboratory tests showed high concentrations of beta-HCG and LDH. Ultrasound examination revealed: hypoechogenic area 8 × 4 × 5 mm in the left testicle, and enlarged left thyroid lobe with echogenically heterogenous mass. In cytological examination of the thyroid, carcinomatous cells were found, which suggested metastasis. A diagnosis of cancerous spread of testicular cancer to the lungs and thyroid was made. The left testicle, with spermatic cord, was removed, yet in the histopathological examination no carcinomatous cells were found. Rescue chemotherapy, according to the BEP scheme (bleomycin, etoposide, cisplatin) was started, but during its course the patient died. Histopathology disclosed primary mixed germ cells tumour in the thyroid, predominantly with carcinoma embryonale and focuses of choriocarcinoma. Extragonadal germ cells tumours rarely occur in the thyroid. In medical literature, some cases of teratomas and a single case of yolk sac tumour in the thyroid have been described. The presence of choriocarcinoma was responsible for the high serum concentration of beta-HCG. Surgery of germ cells tumours proves insufficient. The conventional chemotherapy is based on cisplatin. In conclusion, extragonadal germ cells tumours are rare, but should be considered while co-existing with elevated markers such as: AFP, beta-HCG and lack of abnormalities in the gonads.

Rzadka jest pierwotna lokalizacja pozagonadalna i najczęściej dotyczy śródpiersia, przestrzeni zaotrzewnowej czy szyszynki. Przedstawiono pierwszy opis pacjenta z mieszanym nowotworem zarodkowym o pierwotnej lokalizacji w tarczycy. Mężczyzna w wieku 35 lat, w dobrym stanie ogólnym, przyjęty w celu przeprowadzenia diagnostyki stwierdzonych w rutynowym RTG klatki piersiowej licznych ognisk przerzutowych w płucach. W badaniach biochemicznych spośród odchyleń od normy stwierdzono wysokie stężenia beta-HCG i LDH. W badaniu ultrasonograficznym w lewym jądrze zobrazowano obszar hipoechogeniczny o wymiarach 8 × 4 × 5 mm oraz znacznie powiększony lewy płat tarczycy z niejednorodną echogenicznie zmianą. Badanie cytologiczne zmiany w tarczycy wykazało komórki nowotworowe sugerujące zmianę o charakterze przerzutowym. Postawiono diagnozę rozsiewu raka jądra do płuc i tarczycy. Resekowano lewe jądro wraz z powrózkiem nasiennym, jednak w badaniu histopatologicznym materiału operacyjnego nie stwierdzono utkania nowotworowego. Rozpoczęto ratunkową chemioterapię według schematu BEP (bleomycyna, etopozyd, cisplatyna), w trakcie której nastąpił zgon chorego. Badanie autopsyjne wykazało ognisko pierwotne nowotworu w tarczycy - mieszany guz zarodkowy z przewagą w guzie utkania carcinoma embryonale, ogniskowo pola o morfologii choriocarcinoma. Pozagonadalne guzy zarodkowe bardzo rzadko lokalizują się w tarczycy. W dostępnym piśmiennictwie opisywano przypadki występowania w gruczole tarczowym potworniaków oraz jeden przypadek yolk sac tumour. Obecność utkania choriocarcinoma była powodem dużego stężenia beta-HCG w surowicy. Leczenie chirurgiczne nowotworów zarodkowych jako jedyne nie wystarcza. Standardem pozostaje chemioterapia oparta na cisplatynie. Pozagonadalna lokalizacja nowotworów zarodkowych jest rzadkością, jednak zawsze należy rozważać taką możliwość w przypadku współistnienia podwyższonych markerów AFP i beta-HCG oraz braku patologii w gonadach.
