    (Państwowa Szkoła Wyższa im. Papieża Jana Pawła II w Białej Podlaskiej, 2016-06-22) Orzołek, Monika ; Pasiecka, Ewa
    Interventional radiology procedures have wide application in hepatic cancer therapy. They are preceded by imaging techniques like CT , MRI, ultrasound, and PET. Procedures used in case of hepatic cancer include: embolization, chemoembolization, radioembolization. The purpose of this article was to describe the use of interventional radiology procedures in the treatment of tumors and hepatic metastases. Interventional radiology treatments can function as palliative care as well as they prepare the patient for surgical treatment. The expected therapy effects are, for example, tumor mass shrinkage, pathological tissue necrosis, pain relief, and improvement in quality of life. The most common method of treating liver tumors is chemoembolization. After interventional radiology procedures, there is a risk of adverse events within the liver; nevertheless, the probability of those events is far lower than for surgical procedures.

    (Państwowa Szkoła Wyższa im. Papieża Jana Pawła II w Białej Podlaskiej, 2016-09-22) Ács, Pongrác ; Bergier, Józef ; Salonna, Ferdinand ; Junger, Jan ; Melczer, Csaba ; Makai, Alexandra
    Background. Physical inactivity is also a significant problem in East-Central Europe and Hungary where 20% of the population does sports regularly while 53% of them never, in turn, 24% of the people does sports few times monthly. Insufficient physical activity is an increasing public health problem among young people and adolescents. Several types of research examined the quality and extent of physical activity related to different factors (social demographic, psychosocial, and lifestyle, etc.). Material and methods. Interviewing was carried out from April to June 2015 at the same time in each Visegrad country. IPAQ extended physical activity questionnaire and a self-edited questionnaire were used to assess nutritional and activity habits (In order to evaluate data, INDARES software, and paper-based questionnaires were used for 2145 persons from different secondary schools). Results. In low PA level category, male students were rather found while in high PA level category, male students showed higher ratios than females. From 56.7% to 77.8% of male students occurred in high PA level category opposite to female students where this rate was from 42.4% to 67.4%. We found significant gender differences in total MET/week values (p<0.001) in the V4 countries. Conclusions. We found significant differences in the Visegrad countries and between sexes. These differences draw the attention to improving deficiencies in physical activity of secondary school students with well-defined risk group interventions.

    The presence of anti-Borrelia burgdorferi antibodies in person with suspected Lyme disease / Występowanie przeciwciał anty-Borrelia burgdorferi u osób z podejrzeniem boreliozy z lyme
    (Państwowa Szkoła Wyższa im. Papieża Jana Pawła II w Białej Podlaskiej, 2016-09-22) Tokarska-Rodak, Małgorzata ; Plewik, Dorota ; Gałecka, Barbara ; Domański, Ryszard
    Background: Lyme disease is a multi-organ disease caused by spirochetes, Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato, transmitted by Ixodes, with its clinical picture including involvement of the skin, joints, nervous system and heart. Laboratory diagnostic tests for Lyme disease are mainly based on the detection of anti-Borrelia burgdorferi antibodies by means of serological methods. Aim of the work: assessment of the level of antibodies against specific B. burgdorferi s.l. antigens in persons with suspected Lyme disease. Material and methods: the tested group consisted of 98 patients with suspected Lyme disease. During the first phase of the tests, anti-Borrelia burgdorferi IgM/IgG antibodies were marked using ELISA method, and positive and uncertain results were confirmed by Western blot test (Wb). Results: anti-B. burgdorferi IgM/IgG antibodies were present in 60 patients (61.2%). IgM and IgG antibodies were detected as positive in 8 (8.1%) and 35 (35.7%) patients respectively. IgM and IgG were co-present in 6 persons (6.1%), including 2 persons (2%) with positive results in both classes. All patients with positive IgM (12 persons) had anti-OspC antibodies, and 2 patients had, in addition, anti-p31 antibodies. In patients with positive IgG the results were as follows: antibodies against antigen p17 - 77% of cases, VlsE - 74%, p30 - 46%, p39 - 44%, p83 - 38%, p19 - 31%, OspC/p25- 28%, p31 - 23%, p21 - 8%. Conclusions: laboratory diagnostic tests for Lyme disease must be performed in accordance with the current standards, positive and uncertain results must be confirmed by Westernblot test. Results of lab tests must correlate with patient’s symptoms.

    Background. Decreased physical activity (PA), sedentary lifestyle and inappropriate dietary habits have been observed in modern societies in the past decades. Material and methods. Data were collected in summer, 2014. The representative (by age & gender) sample consisted of 910 adults. The research (entitled “E-Harmónia”) was carried out in two Hungarian counties, Baranya and Zala. We developed a tablet-based survey to examine PA using the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) questionnaire and collected anthropometric data with body composition monitors. Data analysis was carried out with SPSS 22.0 for Windows. The significance level was set at p<0.05. Results. The sample size of adult participants was 910, their mean age was 43.2±14.4 years. We examined the level of physical activity in view of sociodemographic inequalities, like gender, age, education, marital status, employment form. Women and aged and young people were found to do carry out significantly less leisure time PA (p<0.05). Furthermore, we found significant relationship in PA and education level, age and employment form of the adults (p<0.001). Conclusions.

    Background. For proper construction and functioning of human skeletal system a very important thing is adequate supply of calcium, which content in daily rations, in addition to genetics, degree of physical activity and level of sex steroids, is an essential factor influencing on bone mass. Aim of the work: the aim of the work was to assess mineral status of regular soldiers doing military service in different types of Polish military units. Material and methods. An assessment of bones calcification and protein-energy nutritional status of 1913 men, soldiers doing military service in different types of Polish military units, was made. Body height and body mass were determined by standard methods using a scales and a height-meter. Bone mineral density was measured by DEXA densitometry on forearm bone of non-prevailing arm, using the EXA 3000 apparatus. Results. Results of densitometry showed that 1594 soldiers, that is 83.3% of subjects had standard bone calcification. Bone mineralization characteristic of osteopenia was found among 304 people, that is 15.9% of examined, while 15 subjects (0.8%) revealed changes characteristic of osteoporosis. Conclusions. 1. Bone mineral density of 16.7% of examined soldiers serving in different types of military units indicates presence of abnormalities in bone calcification with varying degrees of severity. 2. It is advisable to take among soldiers an extensive health promotion regarding dietary health education aimed at nutritional prevention of bon mineralization disorders can cause fractures and early elimination soldiers from service.
