    Interaction of three-drug combination of lacosamide, carbamazepine and phenobarbital in the mouse maximal electroshock-induced seizure model – an isobolographic analysis / Interakcja trójlekowej kombinacji lakozamidu, karbamazepiny i fenobarbitalu w teście maksymalnego wstrząsu elektrycznego u myszy - analiza izobolograficzna
    (Państwowa Szkoła Wyższa im. Papieża Jana Pawła II w Białej Podlaskiej, 2016-04-07) Kondrat-Wróbel, Maria W. ; Łuszczki, Jarogniew J.
    Background. Epilepsy is one of the serious neurological diseases characterized by seizures that affect about 1% of people worldwide (65 million), and therefore, epilepsy can be considered as a disease of civilization. Although seizures are controllable with antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) in about 70% of cases, it remains still about 30% of epilepsy patients inadequately medicated with these AEDs, who need a full control of their seizure attacks. One of the treatment options in these patients is application of two or three AEDs in combination. The aim of this study was to characterize the anticonvulsant effects of a combination of three AEDs (i.e., carbamazepine [CBZ], lacosamide [LCM] and phenobarbital [PB]) at the fixed-ratio of 1:1:1 in the mouse maximal electroshock (MES)-induced seizure model. Materials and methods. Tonic hind limb extension (seizure activity) was evoked in adult male albino Swiss mice by a current (sine-wave, 25 mA, 500 V, 50 Hz, 0.2 s stimulus duration) delivered via auricular electrodes. Type Iisobolographic analysis was used to analyze the three-drug combination. Results. Type I isobolographic analysis revealed that the combination of CBZ, LCM and PB (at the fixed-ratio of 1:1:1) exerted additive interaction with a slight tendency towards antagonism in the mouse MES-induced seizure model. Conclusions. A special caution is advised to patients taking LCM in combination with CBZ and PB because this three-drug combination offered additive interaction with a slight tendency towards antagonism in the mouse MES model.

    Optimization of pharmacotherapy system for treatment of thyroid diseases in Ukraine / Optymalizacja systemu farmakoterapii w leczeniu chorób tarczycy na Ukrainie
    (Państwowa Szkoła Wyższa im. Papieża Jana Pawła II w Białej Podlaskiej, 2016-04-07) Vadziuk, Yulia
    Background. Recent years thyroid diseases are attracting considerable attention. On one hand, this is due to the fact that thyroid is actively reacts on environment, followed by appearance of various diseases. On the other hand, in current conditions population remains face to face with adverse impact of environment because an effective experience of the world community to fight against iodine deficiency is not implemented in Ukraine. Thus every year becomes more patients with thyroid pathology. So there becomes a need to optimize the system of healthcare provision for these patients. Material and methods. We have analyzed medications listed in Ukrainian National Formulary and studied the dynamics of its formation. A comparative analysis of UNF with the British National Formulary was conducted. The compliance of UNF with the WHO Model List of Essential Medicines was checked. Results. Comparative analysis of assortment dynamic of UNF medications for treatment and prevention of thyroid diseases showed that foreign drugs had an advantage of inclusion to formulary. The main difference between BNF and UNF is that drugs are brought in BNF only by original name. In UNF antithyroid drugs are presented by thiamazole which is absent in WHO Model List of Essential Medicines and BNF. Conclusions. We recommend to provide arguments concerning evidence of clinical and cost effectiveness of drugs included to UNF; to include drugs in UNF exclusively by original name; to include carbimazole and propylthiouracil medications into group of antithyroid drugs in UNF; to unite subsections 7.3.2 and 7.3.3 of UNF to one general subsection “antithyroid drugs”.

    The presence of anti-EBV antibodies as the cause of false positive results in the diagnostics of Lyme borreliosis / Obecność przeciwciał anty-EBV jako przyczyna wyników fałszywie pozytywnych w diagnostyce boreliozy z Lyme
    (Państwowa Szkoła Wyższa im. Papieża Jana Pawła II w Białej Podlaskiej, 2016-04-07) Plewik, Dorota ; Tokarska-Rodak, Małgorzata ; Paszkiewicz, Justyna
    Background. Laboratory diagnosis of Lyme borreliosis is based on the detection of anti-B. burgdorferi antibodies. Mononucleosis infection can lead to false positive results in serological diagnosis of Lyme borreliosis. Materials and methods. The experimental group comprised 60 patients diagnosed with Lyme borreliosis and 106 individuals professionally exposed to tick bites, with a positive result of ELISA anti-B. burgdorferi IgM test. The control group consisted of 150 healthy individuals. Immunoassay of antibodies to the Epstein-Barr viral capside antigen (EB-VCA) in the IgM class was carried out by the means of Western blot assay. Results. In two patients diagnosed with borreliosis the presence of IgM antibodies to EB-VCA was confirmed. In the group of individuals professionally exposed to tick bites and in the control group no anti-EB-VCA IgM antibodies were found. Conclusions. Anti-EBV IgM antibodies can lead to obtaining false positive results in Lyme borreliosis diagnostics. In the cases when clinical symptoms are not characteristic for Lyme borreliosis, and are accompanied by a positive result of anti-B. burgdorferi antibodies assay only in the IgM class, one has to take into consideration the occurrence of cross-reaction in the Western blot test and carry out differential diagnosis with infectious mononucleosis.

    The review of results of research on breastfeeding considering medicinal and prophylactic aspects / Przegląd wyników badań na temat karmienia piersią kobiet z uwzględnieniem aspektów leczniczych i profilaktycznych
    (Państwowa Szkoła Wyższa im. Papieża Jana Pawła II w Białej Podlaskiej, 2016-04-07) Marszałek, Anna ; Walaszek, Robert
    Breastfeeding is an irreplaceable, in biological and emotional aspect, basis of mother and child’s health. The aim of this paper was to present the review of research results on advantages of natural feeding and benefits of breastfeeding, presentation of breast massage technique as a way of supporting natural feeding, as well as contraindications to breastfeeding. In spite of the propagation, the number of mothers who feed their children in natural way is still considerably low. At present, the American Academy of Paediatrics recommends nursing for 6 months, and continuing it until first year of child’s life (or longer, depending on mother or child’s needs), introducing, at the same time, supplementary food. The issue of breastfeeding should be widely spread among women mainly by midwifes, who should propagate nursing with commitment and provide proper information, emphasising its positive influence on the health of mother and child.

    The role of school sexual education in health promotion / Rola szkolnej edukacji seksualnej w promocji zdrowia
    (Państwowa Szkoła Wyższa im. Papieża Jana Pawła II w Białej Podlaskiej, 2016-04-07) Skonieczna, Joanna ; Olejniczak, Dominik
    Sexuality is an integral part of personality of each human being. No earnestly conducted sex education is a common cause of engaging in risky sexual behaviours.The aim of the study is to evaluate the role of sex education in health promotion and to present the results of the studies of the effects of school sex education on sexual behaviour of young people.The period of adolescence is characterized by a more frequent risk-taking behaviour. Among adolescents it is observed that the average age of sexual initiation has decreased, the frequency of making sexual contact and a number of sexual partners has increased, as well as the insufficient dissemination of the use of condoms and other methods of contraception every time sexual intercourse takes place.The task of health promotion is to influence determinants of health, among others, through sex education. Research confirms the positive impact of complex sex education, carried out in accordance with the recommendations of international organizations, on a lower frequency of engaging in risky sexual behaviour. It seems appropriate to take action to disseminate appropriate for the level of psychosexual development sex education in schools.

    (Państwowa Szkoła Wyższa im. Papieża Jana Pawła II w Białej Podlaskiej, 2016-04-07) Piskorz, Jolanta ; Wójcik, Gustaw ; Iłżecka, Joanna ; Bulikowski, Włodzimierz
    Background. Due to the serious course of most severe vascular injuries of the brain, there is anecessity to look for new diagnostic methods which are the least invasive for the patient. Objectives: the evaluation of the usefulness of thermographic camera in stroke diagnostics. Material and methods. The research included 38 patients hospitalised due to cerebrovascular accident in the Intensive Therapy Ward and Neurology Ward. The patients were diagnosed according to EBM (evidence based medicine) by means of CT, then a series of images were taken by means of thermographic camera. The examinations were conducted on the first day of the stroke, preceded by head tomography, and next on the fourth day after the stroke. Results. The examinations showed statistically significant (p<0.05) decrease in the temperature in the brain stroke area in relation to the healthy part both on the first and the fourth day. The difference in the average temperature changes between the cerebral infarction and intracerebral hemorrhage on the first and the fourth day was not statistically significant (P>0.05). The difference in the average temperature changes in the brain stroke area (irrespective of its type) between the first and the fourth day was statistically significant (p<0.05). The difference in the average temperature changes between the smaller and the bigger focal areas in CT on the first and the fourth day was not statistically significant (P>0.05). No significant correlation was observed between the average temperature changes and the clinical state of patients evaluated according to ESS (Epworth Sleepiness Scale) during the first day (p.0.05). Conclusion. Thermographic camera is a useful tool in brain stroke diagnostics, however it does not differentiate between hemorrhagic and ischemic strokes.

    Background. Severe traumatic brain injury stays one of the main reasons of humans’ mortality until the age of 40. Ternopil University Hospital delivers medical care to the patients with neurosurgical pathology of Ternopil region, which is comprised of 1 107 000 citizens. Material and methods. In this paper we analyzed the treatment results of 301 patients with severe traumatic brain injury (STBI), who were treated at intensive care unit of Ternopil University Hospital during 2013-2014. Microbiological research and evaluation of results were accomplished according to generally accepted principles, based on the Bergey’s classification. Results. In 72 patients it was complicated by severe sepsis. The mortality rate in clinic reached 29.7% in 2013-2014, or equals 1.9 person per 100 000 of population. Among the intensive care unit patients with STBI, who had the surgery based on this pathological condition, sepsis developed in 23.9% of patients. Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), which complicated sepsis, was successfully cured in 73.3% of cases, by additional usage of traditional ventilation, kinesiotherapy, oxygen therapy and pulse therapy with glucocortisteroids (GS). 22.2% of patients obtained acute renal failure, 9.72% of patients were treated by implementing hemodialysis. Concomitant polytrauma was present in 23.9% of patients. Conclusions. Theusageof pulse therapy with glucocortisteroids additionally to traditional mechanical ventilation, kinesiotherapy, and oxygen therapy for the treatment of acute respiratory distress syndrome helps to improve the life expectancy of patients.
