    Tytu艂 pracy: Wp艂yw immunoterapii swoistej na wyst臋powanie objaw贸w zaostrzenia astmy oskrzelowej.Wst臋p: Wska藕nik wzrostu zachorowa艅 na astm臋 oskrzelow膮 jest tak wysoki, 偶e choroba ta nosi nazw臋 choroby cywilizacyjnej. Metody leczenia dychawicy s膮 ci膮gle udoskonalane, a proces leczenie sk艂ada si臋 zazwyczaj z kilku metod maj膮cych na celu utrzymanie funkcjonowania 偶yciowego chorych na najwy偶szym poziomie. Jedn膮 z metod leczenia jest immunoterapia swoista.Cel pracy: Celem pracy by艂o okre艣lenie wp艂ywu immunoterapii swoistej na wyst臋powanie objaw贸w zaostrzenia astmy oskrzelowej.Materia艂 i metody: Badaniem obj臋to 55 os贸b chorych na astm臋 oskrzelow膮 o pod艂o偶u alergicznym. Do zgromadzenia materia艂u badawczego pos艂u偶y艂am si臋 metod膮 sonda偶u diagnostycznego. Narz臋dziami badawczymi by艂y standaryzowany kwestionariusz ankiety AQLQ(s) (Asthma Quality of Life Questionnaire) prof. Elizabeth Juniper oraz autorski kwestionariusz ankiety.Wyniki: Badani pozytywnie ocenili wp艂yw immunoterapii swoistej na ich zdrowie. Od momentu stosowania immunoterapii swoistej rzadziej obserwowali u siebie objawy zaostrzenia astmy oskrzelowej. Wykazano istotny statystycznie brak zale偶no艣ci mi臋dzy d艂ugo艣ci膮 stosowania immunoterapii, a poziomem jako艣ci 偶ycia badanych.Wnioski: Immunoterapia swoista zmniejsza cz臋stotliwo艣膰 wyst臋powania objaw贸w zaostrzenia astmy oskrzelowej. Badani utrzymuj膮 sta艂y, wysoki poziom jako艣ci 偶ycia od momentu stosowania immunoterapii. Mimo to badani nadal czuj膮 potrzeb臋 za偶ywania lek贸w antyhistaminowych.Title: Influence of specific immunotherapy on symptoms of bronchial asthma exacerbation. Background: The growth rate of bronchial asthma is so high, that the disease is called a disease of civilization. Treatments for asthma are constantly being improved and treatment consists of several methods which aim to maintain a high level of health. One method of treatment is specific immunotherapy.The aim: The intention of this thesis was to determine the influence of specific immunotherapy on symptoms of bronchial asthma exacerbation. Material and methods: The study involved 55 people with allergic bronchial asthma. To collect research material I used the diagnostic survey method. Research tools were standardized survey AQLQ(s) (Asthma Quality of Life Questionnaire) prof. Elizabeth Juniper and author鈥檚 questionnaire.Results: Respondents positively evaluated the influence of specific immunotherapy on their health. From the use of immunotherapy were observed to occur less frequently symptoms of asthma exacerbation. The result showed no significant relationship between the length of use of immunotherapy, and the level of quality of life of patients. Conclusions: Specific immunotherapy reduces the incidence of asthma exacerbations. The respondents maintain a consistently high level of quality of life from the moment of application of immunotherapy. Nevertheless respondents still feel the need to take antihistamines

    Title: The risks of exploration and penetration of the caves in case of explorers educationBackground: There is a noticeable increase in interest in mountaineering and cave speleology. Discovery of new caves, take a growing format thanks to the widening range of opportunities for mountaineering cave.The aim: This study was to identify the risks encountered during the exploration and penetration of the caves, about the threats and provide first aidMaterial and methods: Gathering research material I used the method of diagnosticsurvey. Techniques used to research materials was interview and observation.Results: Knowledge of explorers on the risks occurring is very high, while the cavers have significant gaps in knowledge about the existing procedures for first aid, this is a consequence of shortcomings in their education system.Conclusions: The cavers, after completing the course mountaineering are very well prepared in practice to explore and penetrate the caves, but are not prepared to privide first aid.Tytu艂 pracy: Zagro偶enia wynikaj膮ce z eksploracji i penetracji jaski艅, a edukacja eksplorator贸wWst臋p: Zauwa偶a si臋 wzrost zainteresowania speleologi膮 i taternictwem jaskiniowym. Odkrycia nowych jaski艅 przybieraj膮 coraz wi臋kszy format dzi臋ki temu, 偶e poszerza si臋 zakres mo偶liwo艣ci uprawiania taternictwa jaskiniowego.Cel pracy: Celem pracy by艂o rozpoznanie zagro偶e艅 wyst臋puj膮cych podczas eksploracji i penetracji jaski艅, wiedzy groto艂az贸w na temat wyst臋puj膮cych zagro偶e艅 i udzielania pierwszej pomocy przedmedycznej, a tak偶e ich edukacji.Materia艂 i metody: Do zgromadzenia materia艂u badawczego pos艂u偶y艂am si臋 metod膮 sonda偶u diagnostycznego. Wykorzystane techniki to wywiad oraz obserwacja.Wyniki: Wiedza eksplorator贸w na temat wyst臋puj膮cych zagro偶e艅 jest bardzo du偶a, natomiast groto艂azi maj膮 znaczne braki w wiedzy na temat obowi膮zuj膮cych procedur udzielania pierwszej pomocy przedmedycznej. Jest to skutkiem brak贸w w systemie edukacyjnym groto艂az贸w.Wnioski: Groto艂azi, po uko艅czeniu kursu taternictwa jaskiniowego s膮 bardzo dobrze przygotowani praktycznie do eksploracji i penetracji jaski艅, natomiast nie s膮 przygotowani do udzielania pierwszej pomocy

    The First Records of Canine Babesiosis in Dogs from Dermacentor reticulatus-Free Zone in Poland

    Tick-borne microorganisms belong to important etiological agents of many infectious diseases affecting humans and animals. Among them, there are haemoprotozoans of the Babesia genus, which infect erythrocytes of a host and may cause many clinical symptoms. Canine babesiosis is an emerging tick-borne disease in Southern and Central Europe. In this study, we report two cases of symptomatic canine babesiosis caused by Babesia canis in domestic dogs from the Silesian Voivodeship, Poland, as well as the presence of Dermacentor reticulatus ticks detected on one of the Babesia-infected dogs (D. reticulatus-free zone). The molecular analysis confirmed the presence of Babesia canis in the dogs blood, and the sequencing analysis showed that the obtained sequence is 100% identical to the sequence of Babesia canis isolate 3469 (sequence ID: KX712122.1). Our findings should raise awareness of B. canis infection among dog owners and veterinarians in the region where B. canis was not previously reported in residential, non-traveling dogs, as well as ensuring that adequate diagnostic methods are available.Funding Agencies|Medical University of Silesia in Katowice; [PCN-2-081/N/1/I]</p

    Impact of COVID-19 on Head and Neck Cancer Advancement Measured by Increasing Numbers of Urgent Dyspnea Cases&mdash;What Could Be Improved in the Event of Subsequent Pandemics?

    The COVID-19 pandemic has altered all aspects of the healthcare system&rsquo;s organization and impacted patients with head and neck cancer (HNC) who have experienced delayed diagnosis and treatment. The pandemic resulted in the admission of patients with severe dyspnea and a need for tracheotomy due to extremely advanced HNC. This study&rsquo;s objective was to evaluate the clinical characteristics of two multi-center cohorts, &ldquo;pre-COVID-19&rdquo; and &ldquo;COVID-19&rdquo;, of HNC patients admitted as emergencies for dyspnea. The therapeutic activity of HNC patients in four University Departments of Otolaryngology was studied over two time periods: September&ndash;February 2019/2020 and 2020/2021. A group of 136 HNC patients who underwent a tracheotomy in two-time cohorts, pre-COVID-19 (N = 59) and COVID-19 (N = 77), was analyzed. The mean tracheotomies incidence proportion was 1.82 (SD: 1.12) for the pre-COVID-19 and 3.79 (SD: 2.76) for COVID-19 period. A rise in the occurrence of emergency dyspnea was observed in the COVID-19 cohort, and the greatest increase was seen in the centers with the highest limitations on planned surgeries. In the pre-COVID-19 period, 66% of patients presented with symptoms for more than a month in comparison to 78% of patients in the COVID-19 period (p = 0.04). There was a higher incidence of laryngeal and laryngopharyngeal cancer in the COVID-19 period (63% vs. 75%, respectively). The number of tracheotomies performed under general anesthesia dropped in favor of local anesthesia during COVID-19 (64% vs. 56%, respectively) due to extremely advanced HNC. In the COVID-19 cohort, most patients received a telemedicine consultation (N = 55, 71%) in comparison to the pre-COVID-19 period (N = 14, 24%). Reorganization of the referral system, adjustment of treatment capacity for an increased number of HNC, and a reserve for more extensive resection and reconstruction surgeries should be made in the profile of otorhinolaryngological departments, ensuring future HNC treatment is not hampered in case of a new pandemic wave
