    Agroturystyka w Dolinie Bugu na terenie Województwa Mazowieckiego / Agritourism in the Bug Valley in the Masovian Voivodeship
    (Państwowa Szkoła Wyższa im. Papieża Jana Pawła II w Białej Podlaskiej, 2020-06-01) Radwańska, Katarzyna ; Dąbrowski, Dominik ; Sokół, Janusz Leszek
    W pracy przedstawiono podejmowane formy wypoczynku na wiejskich terenach gmin nadbużańskich województwa mazowieckiego, a także bariery oraz czynniki, które w opinii właścicieli gospodarstw położonych na terenie tych gmin sprzyjają działalności agroturystycznej oraz ekoagroturystycznej. Badania, metodą sondażu diagnostycznego, przeprowadzone zostały w 2018 roku w gminach leżących w dolinie rzeki Bug, położonych na terenie województwa mazowieckiego. Uczestniczyło w nich 36 właścicieli gospodarstw agroturystycznych, których gospodarstwa uznane były za konwencjonalne bądź ekologiczne, lub były w fazie przekształcenia z produkcji konwencjonalnej na ekologiczną. Badania wykazały, iż turyści z form aktywności najczęściej wybierają turystykę pieszą, rowerową oraz spacery, natomiast najrzadziej: angażowanie się w prace gospodarstwa. W opinii respondentów czynnikami mającymi największy wpływ na rozwój agroturystyki w Dolinie Bugu są walory przyrodnicze, a także cisza i spokój panujące w okolicy, natomiast największymi barierami - obawa przed zainwestowaniem, brak własnych środków finansowych oraz trudny dostęp do środków pomocowych.

    Aksjologiczne wsparcie kompetencji zawodowych promotora zdrowia przez nauczanie Jana Pawła II na temat istoty zdrowia duchowego człowieka / Axiological support for the professional competences of the health promoter by the teachings of John Paul II about the essence of human spiritual health
    (Państwowa Szkoła Wyższa im. Papieża Jana Pawła II w Białej Podlaskiej, 2020-10-16) Kubińska, Zofia ; Konowaluk-Nikitin, Helena ; Pańczuk, Anna ; Kubińska, Joanna
    Celem pracy było ukazanie fundamentalnej wartości i potrzeby obecności duchowego wymiaru zdrowia człowieka w kompetencjach poznawczych i praktycznych promotora zdrowia z uwzględnieniem nauczania Jana Pawła II ukazującego aksjologiczny wymiar sfery duchowej osoby. Należy podkreślić, że brak duchowego wymiaru w złożoności i integralności działań na rzecz zdrowia człowieka posiada znamiona redukcjonizmu zamiast spójnego scalania. Standardy edukacyjne ukazane w działaniach podjętych w Polsce, Europie i skali globalnej dla po-prawy jakości kształcenia kadr promocji zdrowia nie wymagają kształcenia kompetencji zawodowych ukazujących i wyjaśniających transcendentny wymiar zdrowia, który dzięki sumieniu, mocą Ducha Świętego przenika wszystkie sfery zdrowia minimalizując błędne działania człowieka. Potrzebna jest samodzielna mobilizacja promotora zdrowia do pozyskania prawdziwych i wartościowych zasobów mądrości z nauczania Jana Pawła II ukazującego szacunek należny godności osoby i wartość zdrowia duchowego w dobru, jakim jest zdrowie.

    Aktywność fizyczna uczniów w opinii nauczycieli wychowania fizycznego bialskich szkół ponadpodstawowych / Physical activity of students in the opinion of physical education teachers from secondary schools in Biała Podlaska
    (Państwowa Szkoła Wyższa im. Papieża Jana Pawła II w Białej Podlaskiej, 2021-03-02) Korpak, Filip Łukasz ; Baj-Korpak, Joanna
    W dobie konsumpcjonizmu podejmowanie aktywności fizycznej (AF) wydaje się dla wielu osób przeżytkiem, tymczasem jest koniecznością. „Nowy”, aktywny tryb życia wymaga wielu wyrzeczeń i zmian dotychczasowych przyzwyczajeń. Stąd tak ważne jest wykształcenie w młodych ludziach potrzeby aktywnego spędzania wolnego czasu, potrzeby podejmowania systematycznych codziennych wysiłków fizycznych. Jednym z propagatorów aktywności fizycznej wydaje się być nauczyciel wychowania fizycznego, który powinien stanowić dla ucznia konstruktywny wzorzec osobowościowy. Celem pracy było poznanie opinii nauczycieli wychowania fizycznego pracujących w bialskich szkołach ponadpodstawowych na temat aktywności fizycznej ich uczniów. Materiał i metody. Badania przeprowadzono metodą sondażu diagnostycznego z wykorzystaniem autorskiego kwestionariusza ankiety. Wyniki. Zapytano nauczycieli o aspekty, na które ich zdaniem pozytywnie wpływa aktywność fizyczna podejmowana przez uczniów. Analizie poddano również motywy i bariery podejmowania przez młodzież AF. Wnioski. Ankietowani uważają, że uczniowie charakteryzują się średnim poziomem sprawności fizycznej. Główną barierą podejmowania przez młodzież AF okazał się brak chęci, zaś głównym czynnikiem motywującym-dbałość o kondycję fizyczną.

    Analysis of knowledge on probiotics among adults living in the Biała Podlaska County (Lublin Voivodship)
    (Akademia Bialska Nauk Stosowanych im. Jana Pawła II, 2022-12-30) Jakimiuk, Katarzyna ; Tokarska-Rodak, Małgorzata
    Background. Lactic acid bacteria of the Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium genera are mainly used as probiotics. Their effect on the human organism is multidirectional, hence they are used both in prevention and treatment of many disease entities. The aim of the study was to analyze the level of knowledge about probiotics among adult residents of the city of Biała Podlaska and Biała Podlaska County (Lublin Voivodship, Poland). Material and methods. The survey was conducted among 116 adults meeting the criterion of place of residence. An original survey questionnaire was used as a research tool. Results. The majority of the respondents knew the definition of probiotics; food products which are their source were also correctly indicated. Probiotics were most commonly used during antibiotic therapy, with dietary supplements being the preferred form of probiotic use. The overwhelming majority of the respondents believe that probiotics have a positive impact on the human body, mainly through their effect on intestinal regulation. No one indicated that probiotics could have a negative effect on health. More than half of the respondents also know what prebiotics are and only a few use synbiotics. Conclusions. The vast majority of the adults participating in the survey use probiotics, know their beneficial effects on the human body, and are familiar with their natural dietary sources. Knowledge of the negative effects of probiotic supplementation and the use of prebiotics and synbiotics is less widespread; therefore, it is important to strive to continuously raise public awareness of these issues by undertaking educational and informational activities.

    Analysis of resistance to antimycobacterial drugs among MTBC strains isolated from cattle in Poland as a threat to human health
    (Państwowa Szkoła Wyższa im. Papieża Jana Pawła II w Białej Podlaskiej, 2020-02-24) Weiner, Marcin ; Krajewska, Monika ; Zabost, Anna ; Augustynowicz-Kopeć, Ewa ; Szulowski, Krzysztof
    Background. Tuberculosis is a highly contagious disease affecting humans and animals. It is caused by mycobacteria that are part of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTBC). The etiological agent causing bovine tuberculosis is mycobacteria bovis: Mycobacterium bovis and Mycobacterium caprae. According to the World Health Organization bovine tuberculosis is classified as direct zoonosis. Material and methods. T he s tudy m aterial c onsisted o f 1 29 M TBC s trains i solated f rom Polish cattle, which were microbiologically analyzed. The resistance phenotype was tested for first-line anti-tuberculosis drugs used in the treatment of tuberculosis in humans. The drugs included streptomycin, isoniazid, rifampicin, ethambutol, and pyrazinamide. The MTBC strains tested in this study were isolated from cattle tissue post mortem so that the determination of drug resistance could meet only the epidemiological criterion. Results. Polish strains of mycobacteria bovis have not acquired environmental resistance despite the huge dynamics of changes in the phenotype of mycobacterial tuberculosis resistance. Strains classified as M. bovis are characterized by natural resistance to PZA, which is typical of this species. Conclusions. Drug resistance imposes the use of additional drugs. Drugs that are less effective than the basic drugs, drugs causing side effects more frequently and drugs that are much more expensive.

    Analysis of vitamin D content in dietary supplements available in the EU
    (Akademia Bialska Nauk Stosowanych im. Jana Pawła II, 2023-01-08) Domański, Maciej ; Domańska, Anna ; Żukiewicz-Sobczak, Wioletta ; Weiner, Marcin
    Background. Vitamin D occurs in two forms: D2 (ergocalciferol) and D3 (cholecalciferol). Deficiency of vitamin D can lead to rickets in children, while in adults to osteoporosis, depression and multiple sclerosis. The aim of the pilot study was to analyze dietary supplements in terms of the actual content of vitamin D3. Material and methods. The object of the study was ten random samples of dietary supplements from different manufacturers containing in their composition different values of vitamin D3. The manufacturers included a declaration on the content of vitamin D3 on the packaging. The actual content of vitamin D3 was determined using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The content of vitamin D3 was determined based on a standard curve. Sigma Aldrich’s Cholecalciferol standard was used. Results. In all the analyzed dietary supplements, the actual content of vitamin D is much lower than declared by the manufacturer. The carried-out tests revealed that the content of vitamin D3 in the analyzed supplements varied from 1.02 to 59.56 μg. In three cases borderline low values of vitamin D3 were noted. Furthermore, supplement 6 and 9 contained too low dosage of vitamin D3 to supplement a daily demand of an organism for this vitamin. Conclusions. Controlling the shortage of vitamin D in an organism decreases the risk of occurrence of civilization diseases. The results of own pilot studies and studies of other authors prove that this type of research should be continued in a wider scope on various food categories.

    Animal tuberculosis as a potential danger to men
    (Państwowa Szkoła Wyższa im. Papieża Jana Pawła II w Białej Podlaskiej, 2017-03-09) Krajewska, Monika ; Weiner, Marcin ; Augustynowicz-Kopeć, Ewa
    Tuberculosis (latin: tuberculosis) is an infectious disease which affects man and many species of animals. The aetiological factor of tuberculosis are bacillus which belong to the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTBC) while their host preferences, gene sequence and the level of drug resistance can differ. MTBC constitute a morphologically and biochemically homogeneous group of bacteria which mainly spreads through the aerogenic channel on small, dry particles of phlegm called droplet nuclei which are discharged while infected people or animals cough. Infection occurs after predisposed individual inhales into his or her lungs the bacilli, where they easily multiply in the soft lungs tissue and cause infection. The World Health Organization (WHO) classified bovine tuberculosis (bTB) as direct zoonosis, in which case the transmission of disease is possible without the indirect host’s involvement. Moreover, bTB is the best example of anthroponosis, when the disease is transferred from animal to men. The possibility of dividing the strains of animal bacillus into the two genres: M. bovis and M. caprae raises some significant legal concerns in Europe since in many of its countries, including among others Poland, caprae is not considered to be an etiological factor of bTB.

    (Państwowa Szkoła Wyższa im. Papieża Jana Pawła II w Białej Podlaskiej, 2021-01-18) Gładysz, Iwona
    Background. In the female population, cervical cancer is classified as one of the too late diagnosed cancers. Cervical cancer incidence and mortality rates in Poland are among the highest in the European Union. The aim of the paper is the assessment of women’s knowledge about cervical cancer based on the study of the feminine population in the county of Biała Podlaska. Material and methods. The study covered a group of 172 women living in the county of Biała Podlaska, Lubelskie Voivodeship, Poland. The research tool was an original questionnaire. The statistical analysis was performed using the STATISTICA v 10. program and the Pearson Chisquare test. Results. More than half of respondents (55.8%) indicated the following risk factors of cervical cancer: early onset of sexual life, many partners in a partner, infection of the cervix with HPV and herpes viruses, many deliveries, and smoking. The majority of respondents (62.2%) believe that cytology and gynecological examination are part of the preventive examination. Conclusions. 1. Respondents’ knowledge about the risk factors of cervical cancer is sufficient. 2. Respondents above 26 years of age possess knowledge about human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination as a means of preventing cervical cancer. 3. Young women’s knowledge about HPV vaccination is insufficient.

    Assessment of vitamin D content in dietary supplements sold in EU pharmacies and supermarkets
    (Państwowa Szkoła Wyższa im. Papieża Jana Pawła II w Białej Podlaskiej, 2019-08-23) Żukiewicz-Sobczak, Wioletta Agnieszka ; Wołyńczuk, Klaudia ; Sobczak, Paweł ; Santoro, Francesco
    One of the main fat-soluble vitamins is vitamin D, whose primary function is the regulation of calcium-phosphate metabolism and mineralization of bone tissue. Vitamin D occurs in two forms: vitamin D2 (ergocalciferol) – found in plants and fungi (mainly yeasts) and vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) – produced in animals. Hypovitaminosis of vitamin D leads to metabolic bone diseases in children and adults and can also affect the incidence of many chronic diseases such as: multiple sclerosis, diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, bronchial asthma, cancer, atherosclerosis, coronary artery disease and heart failure. The aim of the current study was to assess the content of vitamin D in dietary supplements available in pharmacies and supermarkets in the EU. The evaluation involved analysing the ratio of vitamin D content in supplements in relation to the typical demand of the organism. This study assessed 15 popular over-the-counter dietary supplements in the form of tablets, capsules, lozenges and lollipops for children as well as in the form of effervescent tablets. On the basis of the labels on the packaging, the vitamin D content of the supplements was assessed in relation to the dietary demands of the body. Self-administration of over-the-counter multivitamin supplements is not an optimal way to increase vitamin D levels. It is recommended, therefore, that individuals requiring vitamin D supplementation seek specialist medical advice to optimal treatment strategies.

    Awareness of tick-borne bacterial infection in the students of nonmedical universities in Ternopil region (western Ukraine)
    (Państwowa Szkoła Wyższa im. Papieża Jana Pawła II w Białej Podlaskiej, 2017-07-28) Nykytyuk, Svitlana ; Pańczuk, Anna ; Shkilna, Mariia ; Tokarska-Rodak, Małgorzata ; Szepeluk, Adam ; Melnyk, Larysa ; Korda, Mykhailo
    Background. The aim of the study was to evaluate the awareness of Lyme borreliosis prevention and exposure to ticks in non-medical students of 2 universities in Ternopil Region (Western Ukraine). Material and methods. The study was conducted by surveying 252 young persons studying at non-medical universities in Ternopil (Western Ukraine): 119 students of Ternopil Volodymyr Hnatyuk National Pedagogical University (TNPU) and 133 of Ternopil Ivan Puluj National Technical University (TNTU), aged 18-23 years old. All the participants completed а questionnaire. Results. The students of Ternopil Volodymyr Hnatyuk National Pedagogical University (TNPU) and Ternopil Ivan Puluj National Technical University (TNTU), Ternopil, understand that the risk of being infected with Lyme borreliosis does not only appear in forests, but also in gardens, parks, and countryside. Still, 16.5% of the students of both Ternopil universities showed very low awareness about Lyme borreliosis. Most TNPU respondents in the study group (40.7%) were bitten by a tick in the abdomen area; 31.3% of the TNTU students declared being bitten in lower limbs. Students of both universities recorded the fewest bites in the chest area (7.1% in TNTU and 13.0% in TNPU respectively). As for the most frequent methods of tick removal, 71.4% of the respondents lubricated it with fat (e.g. butter, oil) and 42.0% twisted it out with tweezers. Conclusions. Education towards proper methods of tick removal, prevention of tick bites (clothes, repellents) should become an important element of protection measures in students in the regions of high Lyme borreliosis frequency, including Ternopil.

    Back pain as a factor of disability in women over 50 from Biała Podlaska and the surrounding areas
    (Państwowa Szkoła Wyższa im. Papieża Jana Pawła II w Białej Podlaskiej, 2019-12-20) Pocztarska-Głos, Agata ; Sidor, Mirosława ; Gawlik, Krystyna ; Begier, Barbara ; Stępień, Ewa ; Baj-Korpak, Joanna ; Szepeluk, Adam
    Background. Chronic back pain is one of the most common causes of disability. It is a civilisation disease and up to 75% of women over the age of 55 suffer from it. The aim of this study was to assess the degree of disability and limitations in the daily functioning of women with lumbar spine pain depending on socio-demographic factors. Material and methods. T he s tudy included a group of 274 professionally active women aged between 50 and 64 who come from Biała Podlaska, Poland, and the surrounding areas and who completed the Oswestry Disability Index. The responses showed functional limitations of the respondents during performing specific activities due to back pain. The respondents were characterised with regard to their age, place of residence, education and material status. The results were analysed statistically. Results. The most numerous group included women with moderate disability – 41.6%. Lower back pain intensifies when sitting, standing, walking, lifting objects and applies mainly to women from the oldest age group, women having secondary and lower education, women from the city and those whose financial situation is below the average. Conclusions. A sociodemographic factor that differentiates the degree of the women’s disability in a significant way is their material status – the better the financial situation, the less severe the disability. Sociodemographic factors – such as age, education and material status – are strong determinants of functional limitations caused by back pain: women from the oldest age group (60-64 years old) had the biggest problem with walking; women with secondary or lower education experienced difficulty sitting and walking; women whose financial situation is below the average suffered much more difficulties while lifting objects, sitting and socialising.

    Bioaerosol and smog as determinants of human population health
    (Państwowa Szkoła Wyższa im. Papieża Jana Pawła II w Białej Podlaskiej, 2019-07-11) Leszczyński, Bartłomiej Krzysztof ; Żukiewicz-Sobczak, Wioletta Agnieszka ; Sobczak, Paweł ; Santoro, Francesco
    When asked to describe air pollution, the average person will invariably mention the word “smog”. Although the term is often poorly understood, social awareness of it is much higher than just a few years ago. In the era of globalization, it has become clear that smog goes beyond dust and gas pollution and encompasses the microbiological purity of the air. This is due, among other things, to the fact that the human body may not only be a reservoir but also an emitter of microbiological particles dangerous to health and life. According to Górny, SCMB (Harmful Microbiological Factors) are easier to aerosolize compared to other air pollutants [1]. It highlights the risk of infectious diseases from abroad, including allergic disease entities. It also emphasizes the close relationship between various types of air pollution.

    Biomechanical dysfunction in patients with primary osteoarthritis of the knee: the role of physical therapy
    (Państwowa Szkoła Wyższa im. Papieża Jana Pawła II w Białej Podlaskiej, 2019-01-14) Mysula, Igor ; Bakaluk, Tetiana ; Sirant, Galyna ; Sydliaruk, Nataliya ; Mysula, Yuriy
    Biomechanical factors such as reduced muscle strength and narrowing of the knee joint play an important role in the initiation and progression of primary osteoarthritis. Pharmacological treatment is not always effective and, in some cases, is accompanied by side effects. However, some factors associated with osteoarthritis, such as muscle dysfunction and decreased physical activity, may be improved through physical rehabilitation. In this article, we describe the pathogenesis, clinical manifestations and approaches to physical rehabilitation for biomechanical disorders associated with primary osteoarthritis of the knee (gonarthrosis).

    Burnout in the anaesthesiologists of Western Ukraine and its possible causative factors
    (Państwowa Szkoła Wyższa im. Papieża Jana Pawła II w Białej Podlaskiej, 2019-02-26) Oliynyk, Oleksandr ; Ślifirczyk, Anna ; Prokop, Iryna ; Oliynyk, Janina ; Venger, Olena
    Background. The paper deals with the problem of burnout among the anaesthesiologists of the Western Ukraine region and its causative factors. Burnout is characterized by mental and physical exhaustion owing to prolonged emotional stress. Material and methods. 105 anaesthesiologists were questioned as to the causes of job-related stress and their personal attitude to the job based on the Maslach Burnout Questionnaire. Questionnaire survey findings were compared in relation to the doctors’ practical experience. Results. Burnout symptoms were found to occur in 82% of anaesthesiologists with practical experience less than 5 years, and in 84% of doctors with practical experience above 20 years. These groups revealed high values of emotional burnout on the Maslach scale. Anaesthesiologists with 5-20 years of work experience revealed moderate levels of emotional burnout. High level of depersonalization was found in those with 5-20 years of work experience. For doctors who had less than 5 years and more than 20 years of work experience, depersonalization level was moderate. Conclusions. The group of anaesthesiologists with more than 20 years of work experience had the highest values of professional relationship reduction. The lowest value of this component of burnout was found in the young doctors with work experience of less than 5 years. About 80% of the doctors pointed out working intensity and insufficient salary as the main causes of work-related stress.

    Characteristics and occurrence of coronaviruses in humans and animals
    (Państwowa Szkoła Wyższa im. Papieża Jana Pawła II w Białej Podlaskiej, 2020-07-26) Weiner, Marcin ; Tarasiuk, Karolina
    Coronaviruses occurring in humans and animals are a diverse group of pathogens, characterized by high variability and tropism. The most serious animal diseases caused by coronaviruses include equine coronavirus disease (E-CoV), canine coronavirus disease (C-CoV), rabbit enteric coronavirus disease (Rb-CoV), infectious bronchitis in poultry (IB-CoV), epizootic catarrhal enteritis in ferrets, in pigs: transmissible gastroenteritis coronavirus disease (TGE), human enteric coronavirus disease (HE-CoV), and porcine epidemic diarrhea (PED), in cattle (Bo-CoV): neonatal calf diarrhea, respiratory tract infections, winter dysentery in cattle, in cats: feline enteric coronavirus disease (FE-CoV) and feline infectious peritonitis (FIP-CoV). To date, three major epidemics causing severe respiratory diseases in humans (SARS-CoV-1, MERS-CoV, SARS-CoV-2) have been reported. Due to the high morbidity and mortality rate, coronavirus-induced diseases in animals result in serious economic losses. The current human COVID-19 pandemic demonstrates the need for action to modernize and improve diagnostics in this area, but also to develop innovative immunoprophylactic and therapeutic methods.

    Characteristics as well as past and present possibilities of using microorganisms listed on the CDC list A of biological agents in bioterrorist attacks
    (Państwowa Szkoła Wyższa im. Papieża Jana Pawła II w Białej Podlaskiej, 2018-10-13) Weiner, Marcin ; Tarasiuk, Karolina
    The study aims at characterising four bacterial infectious agents listed on the CDC A list, i.e. Anthrax (Bacillus anthracis), plague (Yersinia pestis), botulism (Clostridium botulinum) and tularemia (Francisella tularensis) as potential tools used in a bioterrorist attack causing diseases. The paper also includes information on their occurrence in Poland and the EU. Despite the real threat of terrorism in the 21st century and large-scale activities aimed at limiting the occurrence of this phenomenon, it should be borne in mind that pathogens listed on the CDC list A, although spotted primarily in animals, can be a real threat to people’s health and life. Among the discussed microorganisms, only Francisella tularensis and Clostridium botulinum cause sporadic diseases in Poland; however, it should be remembered that both Bacillus anthracis, occurring in Europe, and Yersinia pestis, occurring in Asia and Africa, can pose real threats to human health and life not only in natural infections, but when used as a biological weapon.

    Choroby układu sercowo-naczyniowego – działania profilaktyczne i edukacyjne w ramach powiatowego programu profilaktyki i prewencji zdrowia „Razem dla serca” wśród mieszkańców powiatu bialskiego
    (Państwowa Szkoła Wyższa im. Papieża Jana Pawła II w Białej Podlaskiej, 2018-12) Ślifirczyk, Anna
    Wstęp. Choroby układu krążenia są najczęstszą przyczyną zgonów na świecie. Zmniejszenie poziomu tych czynników minimalizuje prawdopodobieństwo zachorowania, natomiast u chorych powoduje łagodniejszy przebieg dolegliwości i mniej powikłań (Kosobudzki, Bortkiewicz, 2012). Materiał i metody. Program profilaktyczny przeprowadzono wśród 2500 osób w wieku 40-60 lat z wysokim ryzykiem zachorowania na choroby układu krążenia. Do badań zakwalifikowano 1325 kobiet i 1175 mężczyzn. Wykorzystano kartę badania profilaktycznego składającą się z trzech etapów (pytania metryczkowe, badania obrazowe i analityczne oraz ankieta ewaluacyjna). Wyniki. U 76% osób biorących udział w projekcie potwierdzono wystąpienie zawału i udaru w rodzinie. Podejmowanie aktywności fizycznej potwierdziło jedynie 22% badanych. Niestety, aż 88,39% badanych mieszkańców powiatu bialskiego posiadało wskaźnik BMI mieszczący się w przedziale równym bądź przewyższający wartość 25. Badania analityczne wśród 88% badanych uznane zostały przez lekarzy za nieprawidłowe. Stosując algorytm SCORE blisko 60% osób poddanych badaniu zakwalifikowano do kategorii umiarkowanego ryzyka sercowo-naczyniowego. Wnioski. Zbadano, iż blisko 60% osób biorących udział w projekcie znajdowało się w umiarkowanej grupie ryzyka zgonu z powodu incydentu sercowo-naczyniowego. Najczęstszym zaleceniem lekarzy pracujących w poradniach POZ była kontrola w poradni kardiologicznej. Zalecenie to dotyczyło ponad 27% ogółu badanych.

    Current methods used to identify and genotype spirochaetes Borreliella burgdorferi
    (Państwowa Szkoła Wyższa im. Papieża Jana Pawła II w Białej Podlaskiej, 2020-04-22) Weiner, Marcin ; Teodorowicz, Patrycja
    Lyme disease, as one of tick-borne diseases, has been a current epidemiological problem in Poland and in the world for several years. The proportion of borreliosis infections caused by B. burgdorferi spirochaetes is increasing. Difficulties diagnosing this disease with conventional methods have led to growing molecular biology research aimed at developing improved diagnostic tools. Molecular biology methods include all techniques that allow the detection and analysis of nucleic acids. Among them there are methods based on PCR reaction, molecular typing methods (MLST), new generation sequencing (NGS). The current development of this field gives great research opportunities. With regard to B. burgdorferi spirochaete, molecular biology is used to: confirm Lyme borreliosis, identify and type Borreliella spirochaetes, detect them in tick vectors or intermediate hosts, as well as to identify co-infections between different Borreliella species and other tick-borne pathogens. They are meant to significantly improve diagnostic analyzes. This paper reviews the current methods used for the detection and identification of B. burgdorferi. Molecular mechanisms for the survival of spirochaetes in the host, infection vectors and clinical picture of Lyme disease were also discussed.

    Czas pozostający człowiekowi do dyspozycji po wypełnieniu przez niego podstawowych czynności życia codziennego, wykorzystywany jest zwykle do odpoczynku i regeneracji organizmu, ale również do własnego rozwoju. Zatem właściwa organizacja jak i treści wypełniające ten czas, wpływają na jakość życia każdego człowieka. W prezentowanej pracy wskazano rolę lasu w życiu jak i wolnym czasie młodzieży akademickiej z Państwowej Szkoły Wyższej im. Papieża Jana Pawła II w Białej Podlaskiej. Przeprowadzona analiza oparta jest o uwzględnienie ważnego zdaniem badaczy czynnika, jakim jest odległość dzieląca miejsce zamieszkania respondentów z najbliższym lasem. Badania przeprowadzono w 2013 roku, wykorzystując metodę sondażu diagnostycznego przy zastosowaniu kwestionariusza ankiety. Próbę badawczą stanowiło 400 studentów z Państwowej Szkoły Wyższej im.
