Aktywność roślinnych olejków eterycznych wobec Demodex folliculorum i Demodex brevis

Infestation with Demodex spp. is an increasingly common dermatological and ophthalmic problem. Preparations for daily cleaning of eyes and the surrounding area (gels, soaked wipes) contain mainly tea tree oil or terpinen-4-ol. To date, the use of other essential oils supporting the fight against demodicosis is limited due to insufficient number of clinical trials. The aim of this review is to present the most commonly used medicinal plants and their active ingredients used in the treatment of infestation with Demodex folliculorum and Demodex brevis, with particular emphasis on tea tree oil. PubMed, Embase and Google Scholar databases were searched for the selection of scientific literature.

Preparaty przeznaczone do codziennego oczyszczania oczu i ich okolic (żele, nasączone chusteczki) zawierają przede wszystkim, olejek eteryczny z drzewa herbacianego lub terpinen-4-ol. Do tej pory stosowanie innych olejków eterycznych wspomagających walkę z nużycą jest ograniczone, co wynika to z niewystarczającej liczby badań klinicznych. Celem tego artykułu przeglądowego jest przedstawienie roślin leczniczych, i ich składników aktywnych, które działają skutecznie na Demodex folliculorum oraz Demodex brevis.

Overview of the SPMRL 2013 Shared Task: A Cross-Framework Evaluation of Parsing Morphologically Rich Languages

International audienceThis paper reports on the first shared task on statistical parsing of morphologically rich lan- guages (MRLs). The task features data sets from nine languages, each available both in constituency and dependency annotation. We report on the preparation of the data sets, on the proposed parsing scenarios, and on the eval- uation metrics for parsing MRLs given dif- ferent representation types. We present and analyze parsing results obtained by the task participants, and then provide an analysis and comparison of the parsers across languages and frameworks, reported for gold input as well as more realistic parsing scenarios

Evaluation of life satisfaction and functional fitness of people over 60 years of age living in a nursing home and home environment

Background . Life satisfaction may refer to one’s life evaluation, social skills and engagement in life activities. Objectives . Evaluation of life satisfaction and functional fitness of people over 60 years of age living in a nursing home and home environment. Material and methods. A survey research was conducted at the turn of 2013 and 2014 in a group of 101 subjects over 60 years of age. This group comprised of 50 residents of the “Kombatant” nursing home in Ciechanow and 51 subjects staying in a home environment. In the research, the Satisfaction With Life Scale (SWLS ) and Barthel Scale were used. Results. Analysis of the results shows that the mean index of satisfaction with life among all subjects reached 20.7 ± 6.21 with a median of 23, which indicated an average level of satisfaction with life. In a home environment, 50.98% of the subjects reported a high level of satisfaction with life as compared to only 20% in the nursing home. As for evaluation of functional fitness, more than half of the subjects (53.47%) scored 21 to 85 points according to the Barthel Scale, and their condition was determined as “moderate to severe”. A high positive correlation (r = 0.7) was also observed between the functional state described as “moderate to severe” among the subjects staying in a home environment and their satisfaction with life. Conclusions . In the researched group, the level of satisfaction with life varied, with lower results among the residents of the nursing home, whereas for those living in a home environment, functional fitness was the key factor in its determination
