Level of Student’s Knowledge of Prevention HPV Depending on University Profile

Admission: HPV is the most common sexually transmitted. They can lead to the formation of benign skin lesions, as well as to the development of malignant tumors. HPV infection affects both men and women, among others, by starting early initiation of sexual intercourse without mechanical protection, multiple pregnancies and births, smoking, oral sex type. Among women, persistent infection with oncogenic type of HPV can lead to dysplasia, and then to the development of cervical cancer. A key factor in preventing the occurrence of HPV infection and subsequent consequences, is the knowledge and application of the principles of prevention. Purpose of research: Assessment the level of students knowledge of Lublin universities about the prevention of HPV infections depending on the profile of the university. Material and Methods: The study included 108 students of Lublin universities with a medical profile - Medical University (UM - 64%) and the humanities - Marie Curie University (UMCS - 36%). Technique was used and architectural survey questionnaire. Results: Larger belief that condom fully protects against HPV erroneously presented UMCS students (11%) than UM (3%). Early sexual initiation as a factor indicating HPV infection significantly more students of a medical profile (87%) than in the humanities (18%). Students UMCS (33%) rarely combine with HPV infection by skin to skin contact, in combination with the UM students (68%), which also provides a pathway of invasion. Conclusions: 1.Knowledge of young adults about the prevention of HPV and the health consequences of this infection is incomplete. 2.Students in profile non-medical universities have very large deficits knowledge. 3. It is necessary to promote better knowledge on the prevention of HPV infection among young adults. 4. Promote a sense of responsibility for their own health and others, indicating the need to undergo periodic testing, prevention and treatment of sexually transmitted infections

Taste disorders in the elderly Magdalena Sykuła, Aleksandra Stelmach, Monika Szacoń, Katarzyna Kuśmierz, Małgorzata Sutuła, Marcin Rząca, Hanna Kachaniuk Introduction: Disorders of the sense of taste mainly affect the elderly. There are many factors that contribute to their development, including various types of chronic diseases, polypharmacy, and the use of stimulants. Taste impairments lead to improper nutritional behaviour in the elderly, which may cause deterioration of their health and reduce their quality of life. Goal: The aim of the study was to estimate taste deficits in the elderly. Method: The participants were 24 persons aged 70–86. Sample size was limited by the number of available professional taste test kits (for identification of the four basic gustatory qualities: sweet, salty, sour, and bitter). The respondents were assisted by a researcher to fill in a survey about their health status, eating habits, and subjective assessment of their taste function. Results: Most of the elderly persons assessed their taste function as being good, and the rating increased with the age of the participants. However, the organoleptic test showed that taste identification became less accurate with age. The participants had the greatest trouble recognizing the salty (58%) and sour (79%) tastes and had much less difficulty identifying the sweet (96%) and bitter (92%) tastes. The subjects' perception of taste became less and less intense with age. Conclusions: The seniors were the least likely to accurately recognize the salty taste. With age, the accuracy of identification of sweet, sour, bitter and salty gustatory qualities became lower. The positive subjective assessment of the taste function in the elderly did not go hand in hand with their actual taste perception, which declined with age. The use of stimulants such as alcohol and tobacco, pharmacological treatment of chronic diseases, and use dental prostheses reduced the perceived intensity of taste. The taste disorders observed among the elderly can lead to dietary mistakes and thus negatively affect their health. Key words: dysgeusia, seniors, eating habits, health risk

The influence of the Regulation of the Minister of Health on food product groups designated for sale in educational establishments on the health behaviours of students

Introduction. Nutritional habits are among the elements of lifestyle which have an impact on health. Studies show that nutritional habits developed at a young age form a basis for  future behaviour, so developing beneficial health behaviours by the youngest age groups is so crucial. Proper health behaviours have an impact on development and the state of health not only during childhood but also in the adult life, preventing negative effects on health. Objective. To identify the influence of the Regulation of the Minister of Health on food product groups designated for sale in educational establishments on the health behaviours of students. Material and methods. 477 lower-secondary and secondary school students from the Lubelskie and Mazowieckie provinces participated in the survey. The diagnostic survey method was used, together with the self-developed questionnaire technique. Results. Almost 1/3 of the students (32%) regularly bought at their school shop or a shop located near their school. 14% of the students were not aware that the regulation on the sales of food products in school shops was in force. After the regulation was passed the number of students buying sweet buns, sweets and salty snacks dropped; however, the problem has not been completely eliminated. The analysis of the self-designed study results demonstrates that the number of healthy products recommended for the age group increased only slightly. Nearly half of the students (49%) did not notice changes in the product range available in school shops. Only 26% were satisfied with the introduced changes. Conclusions.1. Not all of the surveyed students are aware of the Regulation of the Minister of Health on food product groups designated for sale in educational establishments and the related product range changes.2. The regulation has resulted in some changes in the everyday nutrition of lower-secondary and secondary schools.3. The product range in school shops still contributes to improper nutritional habits among school students

Assessment of women's knowledge about breast cancer prevention.

AdmissionBreast cancer is a very insidious disease. For a long time it may not give any symptoms. That's why it is so important to be prophylactic, to have regular breast exams. Among breast cancer women is one of the most common oncological diseases in Poland and is a serious health, social and economic problem.Purpose of researchThe aim of the work is to assess the level of women on the prevention of breast cancer. It also defines what prevention is and how important it is.Materials and methods50 women between 20 and 50 years of age were included in the study. The research was conducted in October 2016. Respondents were randomly selected. The method used in the study is a diagnostic survey. A research questionnaire was used as a research tool and a research tool to assist in obtaining research information.ConclusionsWomen know the main factors that increase the risk of breast cancer: age, genetic factors, contraception, physical inactivity and childlessness. The survey respondents admitted that they use prophylactic tests because they believe they can prevent the disease by 48%, the person is close or has had breast cancer 26%. Almost half of the respondents said that 48% of the respondents declared that the prevention of breast cancer was a lack of knowledge, because 26% of them lacked the knowledge, 26% had good health and 18 lacked the knowledge. %.DiscussionDiagnosing the disease will reduce the mortality, so prevention activities that play a vital role in breast cancer prevention play a very important role. Dziukowa and Wesołkowska emphasize that early cancer (less than 10 mm) of the tumors detected does not cause metastasis to the lymph nodes, providing many years of survival and even cure in about 90%.
