Ocena zachowań zdrowotnych młodzieży szkolnej

I n t r o d u c t i o n . Adolescence is a very important period for young people as it is the time when the patterns of health behaviour stabilize and in such form may be adopted for the rest of one’s life. This age group is also most prone to behaviour posing a risk to health and lacking behaviour good for health. The period of education is the most suitable to make teenagers aware of how much depends on themselves. Adolescence is often the time of rebellion and independent decision making which influence both the diet, way of spending fee time, personal and mental hygiene as well as abusing dangerous substance. The aim of the study was to assess the health behaviour of lower secondary school attendees in the scope of diet and physical activity by means of a questionnaire. The materials were based on research regarding health behaviour. The study group consisted of 90 students (60% male, 40% female). A questionnaire was chosen as the study method. The study was performed in 2012, from May until September. The results were comparable with HBSC results from 2006 in which 64.4% of the adolescents did not achieve the recommended physical activity minimum. The research has shown that adolescents prefer passive ways of spending their free time. Studies which monitor the state of behaviour linked with the health of the youth are carried out both internationally, nationally and locally. Poland achieves poor results in comparison to other countries when it comes to level of physical activity and amount of time spent on passive leisure.Okres dorastania jest bardzo ważny dla młodzieży, ponieważ stabilizują się wzory zachowań zdrowotnych, które w utrwalonej formie mogą towarzyszyć człowiekowi przez całe życie.

Imaging studies and indications for surgical treatment of carotid spondylosis

Spondylosis cervical spine, is the result of a complex process which occurs in the course of normal physiological aging body tissues. This lengthy process progresses normally for decades. It is believed that it is initiated early degenerative changes in the intervertebral discs. Surgical treatment of only a part of the treatment and never correspond to the whole patient's expectations. Alleviates or eliminates direct threat to life or loss of health, not solving the drug problem as a whole. Before planning surgery, are widely used imaging. It is important to remember that radiological signs of wear of the cervical spine, does not always correspond to the clinical manifestations

Anorexia nervosa - tend the new way of life. Attempt to analyze the current data in this age group

At the turn of the last few years, a sharp Increase in the number of people suffering from eating disorders That undoubtedly lead or can lead to the destruction of the body is noticeable. These disorders are very often the cause of irreversible mental and physical changes, sometimes even leading to death in extreme cases. The issue of eating disorders, and in Particular the anorexia nervosa occurring most amazing Affects younger age groups. Early observation of the first symptoms and proper diagnosis gives the Possibility of a full recovery. It should also be borne in mind That These disorders are related both to the prevailing socio-cultural changes, sometimes inefficiencies in support structures, as well as to the current year's threatening Increase in the pace of life. Both specific and non-specific eating disorders belong to the group of diseases Whose aetiology, diagnosis and treatment have not been clearly defined so far. However, it should be taken into account That eating disorders are of a chronic nature, so small That they change the clinical picture during the course of the disease, permeating each other

W Polsce na udar mózgu zapada około 70 tysięcy osób rocznie , spośród których w okresie pierwszego miesiąca umiera około 20%, kolejne 10-25% pacjentów odzyskuje pełną samodzielność, u 40% chorych pozostaje umiarkowana niepełnosprawność, zaś około 15-30%  osób wymaga stałej pomocy osób drugich. Dlatego tak niezwykle istotnym faktem staje się wczesne wdrążenie właściwych algorytmów postępowania procedur rehabilitacji. Wiadomo, że optymalnym okresem powrotu i poprawy funkcji, w tym wykonywania czynności samoobsługowych, są pierwsze 3 miesiące od wystąpienia incydentu udaru mózgu. W tym okresie należy odpowiednio zaplanować i zastosować możliwie najefektywniejsze metody leczenia i usprawniania, co pozwala na poprawę jakości życia jak i podniesienie możliwości wykonywania czynności w zakresie samoobsługi tych chorych. Abstract Analysing statistical data, it is considered that strokes account for approximately 15% of all deaths in the world. In Poland the stroke falls approximately 70 thousand people per year, of which during the first month dies around 20%, 10-25% of patients recover full autonomy in 40% of patients remains a moderate disability, while about 15-30% of people requires constant assistance of another person. Why it is so extremely important fact becomes early implementation of the relevant algorithms conduct rehabilitation procedures. It is known that the optimal period of return and improved features, including self-service operations, are the first 3 months of the occurrence of an incident of stroke. During this period, please plan accordingly and apply as soon as possible the most effective methods of treatment and improve, allowing you to improve the quality of life and raise the possibility of performing self-service operations of these patients

The use of neurorehabilitation techniques based on the currently used model of therapy in patients with neurological disorders

Adherence to the rehabilitation guidelines of the patient brings measurable favorable conditions to achieve the intended effect of returning the patient to health. The present model of rehabilitation of a neurological patient is recommended to be based on the use of rehabilitation methods that prescribe the use of a tool called ICF (International Classification of Functioning), with which we assess its disability and set up a rehabilitation plan. The ICF model assumes that it should follow a prescribed work schedule with the patient, which consists of 3 components: 1) structure 2) activity 3) participation. The whole medical team applies to the assumptions resulting from the above classification because of the improvement of the entire rehabilitation process. The role of the physiotherapist is to inform all nursing staff to make important decisions relevant to the role of the patient's vision, including the correct placement of the patient, which significantly prevents the development of pressure sores and contractures. Rehabilitation is designed to restore the patient's full fitness as quickly as possible and to allow him / her to stand up and, in the future, re-train his or her locomotive skills

Uncovertebral joints – their structure, development and relationships with intervertebral discs of cervical spine

Uncovertebral joints, also referred to as Luschka’s joints, are found from the level of second cervical vertebra down to first or second thoracic vertebra. In adults, they appear as regular spaces in annulus fibrosus between the uncinate processes and round edges of vertebral body above. Their development remains in close relationship with changes occurring in intervertebral discs. The joint space, which is formed by the fissure into the fibrocartilaginous core of the intervertebral disc, widens medially at its rear aspect for a various distance. In aged spines, this space extends into additional, smaller lateral fissures, vast and irregular in shape. It is believed that the changes in the uncinate process’ structure are the outcome of progressing dehydration and narrowing of the intervertebral discs of cervical spine. This results in remodeling of the process, which begins to expand and flatten with age. According to many authors, uncovertebral joints are small synovial articulations, that aren’t yet noticeable at age of 6 to 9 and become fully developed before the age of 18.There is some controversy on whether they should be classified as true synovial joints. Some researchers claim that they’re an outcome of degenerative processes occurring within the intervertebral discs and therefore shouldn’t be treated as a product of natural development. The presence of synovial tissue within the joints has been a point of some discussions. Recent studies conclusively shown the presence of synoviocytes in the lateral joint capsule tissue of elderly uncovertebral articulations.The purpose of this paper is to describe the structure, development and relationships of uncovertebral joints with intervertebral discs of cervical spine

Wielogodzinne, wymuszone pozycje statyczne związane z pracą zawodową czy procesem edukacyjnym doprowadzają do przeciążeń kręgosłupa. Konsekwencją przeciążeń są zaburzenia funkcji kręgosłupa oraz zmiany strukturalne tkanek występujących w jego okolicy. Zmianom tym często towarzyszy ból.Złożona biomechanika kręgosłupa oraz różnorodność tkanek funkcjonalnie z nim związanych, stanowi istotny problem diagnostyczny. Metoda McKenzie poprzez opracowany model badania oparty na wywiadzie i badaniu przedmiotowym, pozwala wyodrębnić pacjentów o jednorodnym zaburzeniu narządu ruchu. Na jego podstawie zdiagnozować można mechaniczne źródło pochodzenia objawów oraz określić strukturę, która je generuje.W pracy opisano przypadek 26-letniego mężczyzny z bólem karku i kręczem prawostronnym, który został poddany terapii mechanicznej, poprzedzonej diagnozowaniem mechanicznym, w wyniku którego stwierdzono wystąpienie zespołu zaburzeń strukturalnych. Słowa kluczowe: kręcz karku, terapia mechaniczna, MCS Zebris.  AbstractPain occurring in the neck are common phenomenon. Forced, static and lasting many hours positions associated with work or educational process lead to overloading of the spine. Disorders of the spine function and structural changes of adjoining issue are the consequence of overloading. These changes are often  associated by pain.The highly complicated spine biomechanics and a variety of functionally related tissues are an important diagnostic problem. McKenzie method allows to specify patients with homogeneous musculoskeletal disorder through elaborated diagnostic procedure based on an interview and physical examination. Mechanical cause of symptoms and  structure that generates it can be identify based on it.This paper describes the case of 26-year-old man with neck pain and right torticollis, which has been submited to a mechanical treatment, preceded by a mechanical diagnosis, which concluded the complex of structural disorders. Key words: torticollis, mechanical treatment, MCS Zebris

Hand hygiene for the management of a patient infected with Clostridium difficile in the presence of hospital infections

With the dynamic development of medicine nosocomial infections represent a big threat not only for patients admitted to the hospital, but also for health professionals and visitors. Healthcare-associated infections are associated with an extended stay patient, complications in the healing process, and risk of loss of life and health by the patient. Nosocomial infections worldwide are legally governed by the provisions of the legislation of the Member State concerned. The first act regulating the fight against hospital infections in Poland in the institutional way in 2001, introducing "the law on infectious diseases and infections". Micro-organisms causing hospital infections are most often transmitted to the hands of the medical staff. Hygienic hand disinfection is more effective against microorganisms than hand-washing, and should be used as the method of choice before many activities related to patient care. The World Health Organization considers hand hygiene as a basic element of prevention hospital infections. Such pathogens include Clostridium difficile. That is the most important pathogen causing diarrhea.  Stem infection of Clostridium difficile may cause serious diseases and medical conditions, particularly in the elderly, debilitated as a result of chronic diseases. The need to respect the principles of hand hygiene by medical staff is widely recognized. Causes of irregularities in the field of hand hygiene are different, for example. the intensity of the work, insufficient medical knowledge, limited access to devices for effective hand hygiene or ignorance of hand disinfection techniques
