    Herbs contain many biologically active natural substances and their properties have made it possible for people to use herbs in cooking and medicine for centuries. The use of herbal mixtures can prevent the illnesses, regenerate the body, regulate intestinal flora, strengthen the nervous,respiratory, digestive and circulatory systems. The objective of the study is the presentation ofselected species of medicinal plants which are important to human body. Valuable, healthy properties of herbs result from the contained within them biologically active compounds such as glycosides, flavonoids, alkaloids, essential oils, tannins, bitterness, locks, pectin, minerals and vitamins. Properly matched herbs are natural and safe agents for treatment of many illnesses. Herbal preparations are prepared from fresh or dried, suitably comminuted plants and can be used internally and externally. They help to maintain good health and generally strengthen the body. Herbs are not only used in herbal medicine, but also in the food, cosmetic and perfumery industries. Herbal medicine is an effective method to take care of health by preventing illnesses and their treatment. Herbs have antibacterial properties, reduce the risk of cardio-vascular diseases and cancer, they can reduce the level of cholesterol in the blood and provide support to the respiratory and digestive systems. The proper selection of herbs and method of they consume is critical, because some of them have toxic properties, and various kinds of illnesses or specified physiological states constitute contraindications to their use.

    Health-promoting effects of Manuka honey / Prozdrowotne działanie miodu Manuka
    (Państwowa Szkoła Wyższa im. Papieża Jana Pawła II w Białej Podlaskiej, 2016-06-20) Grzebisz, Natalia ; Grzebisz, Elwira
    Honey properties are determined by the level of methylglyoxal (antimicrobial substance) from 30 to 550 in the case of MGO method or from 5 to 20 by UMF method. Previous studies have shown that high levels of methylglyoxal in Manuka honey support the body’s defense mechanisms, mainly by stimulating the growth of probiotic intestinal bacteria. The antibacterial properties of honey make it possible to use it to treat wounds and bedsores and prevent inflammation in the body, which is important in a sports training. The most significant study results showed that honey has a positive effect on increasing the body’s immune response as it is highly antioxidant and anti-inflammatory. It means it can be used in healing wounds by stopping the growth of harmful bacteria, for example : Staphylococcus aureus. Its intake prevents the atherosclerosis. Moreover, acetylcholine present in Manuka honey lowers blood pressure and improves blood circulation, choline has a protective effect on the liver and increases the secretion of bile. Metal ions stimulate the production of red blood cells and hemoglobin. The high content of methylglyoxal, and thus, the specific health benefits of Manuka honey can be used in the diet and supplementation of athletes. Changes occurring in the body due to physical exercise, like the oxidative stress, increase the level of free radicals ,and in result,cause a fall in the exercise potential of the body as well as reduce the immunological barrier. This problem can be particularly observed in winter athletes. Current research results on pro-health properties of Manuka honey have indicated that it can counteract those negative effects. Namely, negative factors of physical exercise are blocked in an athlete’s body by honey [1], and Manuka honey may, in particular, have a positive impact on the health of physically active people.

    Infections caused by Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato / Zakażenia wywołane przez Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato
    (Państwowa Szkoła Wyższa im. Papieża Jana Pawła II w Białej Podlaskiej, 2016-06-20) Tokarska-Rodak, Małgorzata
    Lyme disease is a multisystem illness caused by an infection with the spirochete Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato. The illness is identified in many countries in the Northern Hemisphere [1], but the risk of infection is determined by geographical location and the frequency of occurrence of spirochetes in animal reservoirs and vectors. Among European countries, Lyme disease occurs most frequently in Germany, Austria, Slovenia, Sweden and Poland [2]. In Western Europe, a great variability in the frequency of occurrence is observed. Lyme disease has been most frequently diagnosed in Sweden with 464 cases per 100,000 inhabitants and least frequently in Italy with 0.001 per 100,000 inhabitants [3]. According to the data of Polish National Institute of Public Health - National Institute of Hygiene, the incidence of Lyme disease is systematically increasing. In 2013 12,754 of cases of Lyme disease were registered (incidence rate 33.1 per 100,000 inhabitants) [4] and in 2014 this number increased to 13,870 (incidence rate 36.0 per 100 00 inhabitants) [5]. The highest incidence rates in 2013 and 2014 were observed in the Podlasie region, 100.2 per 100,000 inhabitants and 106.8 per 100,000 respectively [4,5]. The preliminary epidemiologic data show that in the period from January to December 2015 13,624 cases of Lyme disease were diagnosed in Poland (incidence rate 35.4 per 100 000 inhabitants) [6].

    Prevention of cardiovascular risk factors in postmenopausal women receiving transdermal hormonal replacement therapy / Zapobieganie sercowo-naczyniowym czynnikom ryzyka u kobiet pomenopauzalnych otrzymujących przezskórną hormonalną terapię zastępczą
    (Państwowa Szkoła Wyższa im. Papieża Jana Pawła II w Białej Podlaskiej, 2016-06-20) Sieja, Krzysztof
    Postmenopausal women have higher risks and incidence of hypertension and cardiovascular disease (CVD) compared to premenopausal. In Women’s Health Initiative (WHI) studies restricted to younger postmenopausal women show that initiation of hormonal replacement therapy (HRT) closer to menopause reduced the risk of CVD. The aim of the study was the evaluation of the actual state of knowledge connected with the influence on transdermal hormonal replacement therapy (HRT), in early postmenopausal women, on the concentrations of sex hormones, lipids, coagulation markers and other parameters associated with cardiovascular risk. In women receiving transdermal hormonal replacement therapy, the significant decrease of concentrations of TC, LDL-C, lipoprotein (a), homocysteine, fibrinogen, C-reactive protein, and the increase of concentrations of HDL-C, PC-protein, PS-protein and antithrombin III in blood serum were found. This regimen did not increase arterial blood pressure. Conclusions: 1. In early postmenopausal women receiving transdermal hormonal replacement therapy the levels of estradiol, estrone and progesterone in blood serum assured the optimal concentration of these hormones. − 2. Long-term transdermal hormonal replacement therapy in early postmenopausal women resulted in beneficial effects on the concentration of sex hormones, lipids, coagulation markers and other parameters associated with cardiovascular risk. − 3. Favourable biophysical and biochemical results of the long – term transdermal hormonal replacement therapy, indicate that the presented mode of hormonal treatment is the procedure of choice in the prophylaxis and treatment of early postmenopausal women with the biochemical risk factors of arteriosclerotic vascular diseases.

    Background. Modern hormonal contraceptives are effective remedies for the prevention of undesirable pregnancies, have a positive impact on the health of women, and serious complications at their using meet seldom. However, 30-50% of women refuse to hormonal contraception during the first year of using. The main reasons for the refusal are side effects and a fear of their appearing. Material and methods. Our objective was to study the influence of hormonal contraceptives on the health and quality of life of women. We carried out the anonymousquestioning of 145 patients at the age of 20-39 years which were on a treatment in obstetric and gynecological hospitals of the Grodno region and ever used hormonal contraceptives. Results. Hormonal contraceptives are highly effective at regular using. Side effects are widespread and were found in 9 of 10 (90.4%) women. However in 73.3% of cases they disappear during the first 3 months. Some women admitted that new diseases were diagnosed for them in a usage time of hormonal contraception. Gastritis was almost at every fifth respondent (18.6%), that requires attention. Conclusions. The most of women are satisfied with hormonal contraception. The half of respondents are ready to continue using despite side effects, and every third – if other hormonal contraceptive will be suitable. The quality of life of the women using hormonal contraceptives can be estimated as close to average norm.

    Background. High intake of carbohydrates, especially simple sugars, by young adults is associated with the consumption of highly processed foods. This leads to the development of overweight, obesity and various somatic diseases. Identification of factors contributing to the increased consumption of this product group is a very important area of research in the field of public health. Emotional state may be one of such factors. This research aims at analyzing the relationship between consumption of selected groups of foods rich in carbohydrates and actual affective states on the one hand, and relatively constant emotional features on the other hand, in case of young adults. Material and methods. The study was conducted among 120 young adults aged between 18 and to 38 years old. The questionnaire research method, combined with prospective evaluation of diets technique, was used in the study. Two research instruments were used in the research: the scale of positive and negative feelings and food intake frequency questionnaire FQQ. Results. Our research confirmed the relationship between both affective state and relatively constant emotional features with consumption of selected products groups containing carbohydrates, especially simple sugars and glycogen, both in case of women and men. The said relationship has been demonstrated both in case of positive and negative emotions. The study did not confirm the relationship between affective state and consumption of chocolate. Conclusions. The observed relations can be used in the prevention of first degree, taking into account gender differences. It can also be used in potential therapeutic interactions, especially in the field of proper nutrition.
