    Analysis of the heart rate variability for women, specializing in race walking, throughout the menstrual cycle
    (Państwowa Szkoła Wyższa im. Papieża Jana Pawła II w Białej Podlaskiej, 2016-02-03) Kalytka, Svitlana ; Borovska, Nadia ; Roda, Olha ; Karabuza, Maryna
    The article presents the results of studies of the heart rate variability for women, specializing in race walking, at different phases of the menstrual cycle (MC). The results of spectral analysis of heart rate indicate that the first half of the MC is dominated by the contribution of MC HF component, and the second half is dominated by the contribution of the LF component and an ovulatory phase is dominated by the contribution of VLF component in the total power spectrum. According to the results of the geometric analysis, the increase of Mo in menstrual and postmenstrual phases of the MC, reduction of AMo – in postmenstrual, ovulatory phases indicates an increase in the HR functional state in these phases. Decrease of the HR functional state we noted in the premenstrual phase: Mo rates have dropped, and AMo – increased. IT indicators of regulatory systems have increased in postovulatory and premenstrual phases of the MC. In this regard, we have recommended the use of significant and strenuous exercise with the consideration of female athletes’ HR functional state in different phases of the MC.

    Breast self-examination as a method for early detection of breast cancer based on literature review
    (Państwowa Szkoła Wyższa im. Papieża Jana Pawła II w Białej Podlaskiej, 2016-02-03) Marszałek, Anna ; Walaszek, Robert
    Breast cancer is the most common malignancy among women. It is at present the most common cancer standing behind approx. 17.4% of all morbidity and approx. 22.2% of all deaths. Every year in Poland nearly 11,000 new cases of bre ast cancer are recorded and this number is constantly growing. The main reason for this state of affairs is seen in a small number of screening. It is therefore important to spread knowledge about breast cancer prevention, conducting training in currently available knowledge regarding risk factors as well as the promotion of healthy behaviours of women in the early detection of breast cancer. The simplest examination used to detect cancerous changes is breast self-examination. It helps to detect adverse effects in the breast and increases the chances of their recovery. In accordance with the recommenda tions of the Polish Gynecological Society regarding the prevention and early diagnosis of changes in the mammary gland, it is recommended that women over the age of 20 should regularly once a month carry out breast self-examination. Women menstruating should perform a test on the second or third day after menstruation, and pregnant women and post-meno-pausal women should conduct this always on the same day of the month. Breast self-examination should consist of a visual inspection and palpation. The aim of this study is to present the methodology of breast self-examination to detect cancer lesions at an early stage of their development and provide an overview of the results of Polish research on the knowledge of breast self-examination techniques, awareness of women surveyed regarding the age at which breast self-examination should be started, the frequency with which breast examination must be carried out, knowledge of risk factors for breastcancer or symptoms of breast cancer.

    Eating habits of adolescents in Poland and in other countries
    (Państwowa Szkoła Wyższa im. Papieża Jana Pawła II w Białej Podlaskiej, 2016-02-03) Wasilewska, Małgorzata ; Bergier, Józef
    The issue of eating behaviour may be considered both from the perspective of medical and social science. Unhealthy eating habits and lack of physical activity (PA) are well known risk factors for the appearance of many chronic diseases in adulthood. Along with sedentary lifestyle they are the main cause of the increasing prevalence of obesity in adolescents. The aim of this paper is to present eating habits of students in light of Polish and international research within different variables. Polish and international research conducted on a possibly large study material were used for comparison. It can be concluded that there are many irregularities with reference to eating behaviours. The most common nutrition mistakes made by teenagers are not eating breakfast and snacking between meals (usually sweets, chips, fast-food products).

    Health behaviours of patients with cirrhosis
    (Państwowa Szkoła Wyższa im. Papieża Jana Pawła II w Białej Podlaskiej, 2016-02-03) Baczewska, Bożena ; Kropornicka, Beata ; Seweryn, Joanna ; Krzyżanowska, Ewa ; Nowicka, Elżbieta ; Daniluk, Jadwiga
    The aim of the study was to investigate and compare the health behaviours of patients with cirrhosis. The study was conducted from February to June 2012. Before starting the study, the consent was received by the Bioethics Committee at the Medical University of Lublin. The group of 92 patients with cirrhosis was examined, in Świętokrzyskie, Lubelskie and Mazowieckie voivodeships. The main criteria of selection were: known cirrhosis during the hospital treatment and acceptance for participation in the study. The Health Behaviour Inventory (IZZ) by Juczyński was extracted in the study. It contains 24 statements that describe the various types of health-related behaviours and are divided into 4 categories describing health behaviours. For the purposes of the evaluation such behaviours as: proper eating habits, proactive behaviours, health practices and positive mental attitude have been defined. The study group was characterized by average health behaviors, the results were within the 5 and 6 Sten. Studies have shown a higher intensity of health behaviors in the category of a positive mental attitude and proactive behaviour, while less intensity was visible in the category of proper eating habits and health practices. It has been shown that there are statistically significant differences between health behaviour, gender and age of the respondents. Women had significantly higher intensity of correct eating habits and proactive behaviours. Respondents aged 51 years old or older had the best health behaviours in all the categories of health behaviours. The study showed no statistically significant differences between health behaviour and the time of diagnosis, place of residence and education of the respondents.

    Interdisciplinary cooperation in preventive procedures of osteonecrosis of the jaw bone in patients treated with bisphosphonates
    (Państwowa Szkoła Wyższa im. Papieża Jana Pawła II w Białej Podlaskiej, 2016-02-03) Kovaľová, Eva ; Klamárová, Tatiana ; Eliašová, Anna ; Novák, Bohuslav
    Objective: The authors submitted a proposal of preventive procedures to eliminate the risks of osteonecrosis of the jaw bone in patients treated with bisphosphonates using interdisciplinary cooperation of specialists. Conclusion: Before starting the treatment of bone metastases with bisphosphonates, all patients should have dental examination, dental treatment and dental hygiene treatment as a prevention of osteonecrosis of the jaw bone. The application of preventive approaches can reduce risk and eliminate the incidence of osteonecrosis of the jaw in patients who have to take bisphosphonates.

    Quality of life of patients with type 2 diabetes in relation to method of treatment
    (Państwowa Szkoła Wyższa im. Papieża Jana Pawła II w Białej Podlaskiej, 2016-02) Dudzińska, Marta ; Tarach, Jerzy S. ; Zwolak, Agnieszka ; Malicka, Agnieszka ; Kowalczyk, Mariusz ; Daniluk, Jadwiga
    Inappropriate glycaemic control in type 2 diabetes leads to long-term complication and affects length of life. Intensification of treatment, involving insulin therapy is often delayed because of fear of negative influence on quality of life (QoL). Aims: evaluation of differences on QoL with type 2 diabetes patients in relation to method of current antidiabetic treatment, especially patients who are on the threshold of insulin therapy introduction. Methods: study involved 274 patients (mean 62.2years, 55.8%F) who were divided into 3 groups: patients treated with oral anti-diabetic agents (OAD group, n=111), patients, for whom insulin was introduced (Intensification group, n=68) and patients treated with insulin (Insulin group, n=95). QoL was measured with questionnaires: EQ-5D, DQL-BCI and DSC-R. Results: There were no statistically significant differences in EQ-5D indices among studied patients (OAD group-0.82, Intensification group–0.78, Insulin group–0.75). EQ-VAS among patients switched to insulin therapy was lower than in OAD group (52.7 and 59.3, respectively, p=0.004). The differences in DQL-BCI scores among all groups of patients were statistically insignificant (scores: OAD group-56.7, Intensification group-54.8, Insulin group-51.7). DSC-R score in Intensification group was higher than among OAD group (30.9 and 25.3, respectively, p=0,08). Patients switched to insulin therapy manifested the highest level of hyperglycemia-related burden and the lowest treatment satisfaction. Conclusions: patients whose treatment was intensified reported their QoL as lower than the patients treated with OAD, however there was no significant difference found in respect of QoL between patients from the latter group and patients already treated with insulin.

    The level of proinflammatory and antiinflammatory cytokines in sperm plasma of fertile and infertile men
    (Państwowa Szkoła Wyższa im. Papieża Jana Pawła II w Białej Podlaskiej, 2016-02-03) Maksymyuk, Hanna ; Vorobets, Zinovij ; Maksymyuk, Vasyl
    The present study was carried out with the aim to evaluate the relation of the content of proinflammatory and antiinflammatory cytokines with the sperm quality indicators. The study involved 45 patients with a pathological spermogram and 15 practically healthy men. A positive correlation (r = 0.45) between the content of IL-6 and the sperm concentration in the ejaculate and a negative correlation (r = -0.42) of this cytokine with the number of live sperm were revealed. The concentration of IL-8 was positively correlated with sperm density (r = 0.52) and it was negatively correlated with the number of live sperm (r = -0.55). A positive correlation between the content of IL-10 and the sperm concentration as well as the number of active forms was observed (r = 0.45 and 0.5, respectively), and a negative correlation (r = -0.7) was observed between the ejaculate volume and the concentration of IL-10. In the obtained ejaculates, a close positive correlation between the content of IL-8 and IL-6 (r = 0.74) and between the concentration of IL-10 and IL-6 (r = 0.72) was observed. Based on the completed study, a conclusion was made that the increased level of IL-6 and IL-8 may result in the reduction of the sperm quality, and possibly, infertility, and that IL-10 plays an important role in improving sperm parameters.
