Introduction: Harmful consumption of alcohol has a serious impact on public health and is considered as one of the main risk factors for health damage and disease on a global level. Increased consumption of alcohol is dangerous at any age; however, a greater risk has been shown at younger age. For this reason, our research has been focused on the consumption of alcoholic beverages among adolescents. Objective: We investigated the attitudes of students in relation to alcohol consumption. Material and methodology: To obtain necessary information, we used existing available professional literature and a non-standardized questionnaire. For the defined research goal, we included in the research group older elementary school students and high school students. 272 respondents took overall part in the research. To test the hypotheses, we used Pearson's chi-square test of independence, Student's t-test and one-factor analysis of variance (ANOVA test - non-parametric version). Results: The results showed significant differences in alcohol consumption between smokers and non-smokers of elementary school students and high school students. In the observed group, today's generation of young people and teenagers have almost equal experiences with alcohol, whereas boys have a slightly higher drinking frequency. We also confirmed the connection between the frequency of consumption of alcoholic beverages and smoking. Regarding prevention, girls perceive a higher prevention than boys, but the subjective rate of alcoholism prevention importance is not age related. Conclusion: Of all the negative phenomena of modern human society, alcoholism is the most dangerous, due to its massive distribution. Therefore, prevention at primary level is to be taken seriously, which emphasizes a controlled consumption of alcohol. Considering the unfavorable statistical indicators of the increased alcohol consumption, especially in case of women, it is necessary to create long-term selective preventive programs.

The postcovid era augmented with armed conflict in Eastern Europe brings new waves of social pathology, including postcovid syndrome, where the commonest signs are depression, anxiosity‚ followed by alcohol, tobacco, or other substance use. Two cohorts of clients of social work: one among migrants and refugees (98 clients); 11 homeless have been studied on development of both symptomes related to stress (post trauma stress syndrome after armed conflict, and chronic stress of homelesness and isolation). Only one case of HIV and HepC in both groups have been recorded, both on ARV or HCV treatment. Tobacco use has been increased in the group of posttrauma stress syndrome related to Group I (armed conflict refugees), but alcohol or substance use were sporadic and exceptional both before and after admission in the 3m follow up.

This letter to the editor highlights other than just medical aspects of ongoing pandemics, just before the third/fourth wave of COVID-19, arriving back to the EU, having destroyed several economic and trade structures in China and Korea in recent months. However, we have some advantages in comparison to December 2019. First, (i) testing is widely available, accessible, cheap and more accurate. Second, vaccines are on the market (ii) and 4.5 billion of the whole population are vaccinated, (iii) Third two molecules of antivirals are registered for clinical use and finally (iv) several judications on both sides of the Atlantic may help to protect the global and local Public Health. In this first letter, we have selected some - according to space - important judgments supporting the protection of health care on one side, and minimizing the side effect of pandemics to human rights, economic bills and legal structure of pandemic response.

Research is always concerned with the topic of how to cure depressive symptoms or alleviate the symptoms. A central therapeutic goal in cognitive behavioral therapy is cognitive restructuring. At the behavioral level, a particular therapeutic intervention is often used to promote a more positive mindset: a positive effect on the psyche of keeping a happiness diary has already been demonstrated. The results of this work are consistent with others reported in the literature, which is why such studies should also be conducted on clinical groups. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the long-term keeping of the happiness diary and what effect this has on the depressive course symptomatology. Subjects were asked at catamnesis (6 months after the end of therapy) whether they still kept their diary regularly and were then instructed to complete the BDI-II again and return it to the practice. These scores were compared to the initial diagnostic from the patient's therapy period (pre- and post-measure-ment) and analyzed. Subjects who had not continued the happiness diary in the next 6 months after the end of therapy achieved a higher score in the BDI-II compared to the subjects who had continued the happiness diary regularly. The results of this work allow conclusions to be drawn about the importance of relapse prevention in psychotherapy.

Introduction Lyme neuroborreliosis (LNB) is a tick-borne infection caused by bacteria Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato that accounts for 10-15% of all Lyme borreliosis cases in Europe. LNB can present with a variety of neurological manifestations. We aimed to describe the typical anamnestic, clinical and laboratory features of patients diagnosed with LNB and to describe the differences between paediatric and adult cases. Additionally, we assessed the factors associated with definite LNB. Methods We retrospectively evaluated data of patients with suspected LNB had undergone lumbar puncture and were admitted to the Infectious diseases department of University hospital Bratislava, Slovakia, between September 2019 and May 2022. Patients were divided into three categories according to the diagnostic criteria of European Federation of Neurological Societies: A) cases with definite LNB, B) cases with possible LNB, C) non-LNB controls. Results In total, 139 patients were included in the analysis. 32 individuals were classified as definite LNB, 23 as possible LNB and 84 as non-LNB controls. 55.5% were females and 35.3% were children aged<18 years. 56.3% of patients with definite LNB reported a history of tick bite, and 21.9% a history of erythema migrans (EM). Peripheral facial nerve palsy (PFNP) was the most common clinical symptom in patients with definite LNB (65.6%), followed by headache (50.0%), fever (21.9%) and radicular pain (18.8%). In a univariate and multivariable analyses neither history of tick bite nor history of EM were significantly associated with definite LNB. Factors independently associated with definite LNB in multivariable analyses were (i) age < 18 years (aOR 7.89, 95% CI 2.00-31.03, p < 0,003), (ii) female gender (OR 6.34; 95% CI 1.66-24.17, p < 0.007), and (iii) facial nerve palsy (OR 10.54; 95% CI 2.41-55.19, p < 0.002). Conclusion We found that peripheral facial nerve palsy is the strongest predictor of definite LNB, and that the children<18 years and females in our study were more likely to be diagnosed with LNB. Our study also suggests that anamnestic data on history of tick bite and EM contribute little to the diagnosis of LNB and that the examination of CSF is essential for the diagnosis of LNB.
莱姆病神经疏螺旋体(LNB)是一种由伯氏疏螺旋体引起的蜱传感染，占欧洲所有莱姆病病例的10-15%。LNB可表现为多种神经学表现。我们的目的是描述诊断为LNB的患者的典型健忘，临床和实验室特征，并描述儿科和成人病例之间的差异。此外，我们评估了与明确LNB相关的因素。方法回顾性分析2019年9月至2022年5月斯洛伐克布拉迪斯拉发大学医院感染性疾病科收治的疑似LNB腰椎穿刺患者的资料。根据欧洲神经学会联合会的诊断标准将患者分为三类:A)明确LNB病例，B)可能LNB病例，C)非LNB对照。结果共纳入139例患者。明确LNB 32人，可能LNB 23人，非LNB对照84人。55.5%为女性，35.3%为<18岁的儿童。确诊LNB患者中56.3%有蜱叮咬史，21.9%有迁移性红斑史。外周面神经麻痹(PFNP)是明确LNB患者最常见的临床症状(65.6%)，其次是头痛(50.0%)、发热(21.9%)和神经根性疼痛(18.8%)。在单变量和多变量分析中，蜱叮咬史和EM史与LNB均无显著相关性。在多变量分析中，与LNB明确相关的独立因素为(i)年龄< 18岁(aOR 7.89, 95% CI 2.00-31.03, p < 0.003)， (ii)女性(OR 6.34;95% CI 1.66-24.17, p < 0.007)， (iii)面神经麻痹(OR 10.54;95% CI 2.41 ~ 55.19, p < 0.002)。结论外周面神经麻痹是LNB明确的最强预测因子，且在本研究中<18岁的儿童和女性更容易被诊断为LNB。我们的研究还表明，蜱叮咬史和EM的记忆资料对LNB的诊断贡献不大，CSF检查对LNB的诊断至关重要。

Starting points: People with disabilities face daily obstacles that do not allow them to integrate adequately into society. Health disadvantage itself is a complex and multidimensional phenomenon, which carries with it several specificities. Social inclusion is a phenomenon that is still present in the academic world than in society itself. A specific part of inclusion is precisely the participation of people with disabilities in sporting activities. Although sport can be understood as the most beautiful means of inclusion of people with disabilities, it is here that we can observe shortcomings in participation in sport. Very little attention is paid to the management of sport of persons with disabilities and their support from society is at a minimum. We chose this issue precisely because of the increase in the interest of people with disabilities in sports activities. Methods: The study analyzes sport as a means of inclusion of people with disabilities in society. We carried out the research in qualitative design and as a method of data collection we chose a semi-structured interview, which we conducted with 9 informants between October 2021 and March 2022. We analyzed the results of our research was to find out what sport brings to the lives of people with disabilities and to find out in what areas sport has enriched the lives of people with disabilities. Results & conclusions: Based on our findings, we can conclude that people with disabilities reflect the changes that occurred in their lives after they started active sports. Through sport, they managed to improve not only their physical condition, but also brought positive changes to them by sport in the fields of mental and social. Our research also confirmed the positive impact of sport on the autonomy of people with health disadvantages.

Objective: The aim of our study was to determine the impact of smoking addiction on nurses on their work performance and economic and time-varying consequences. Design: Cross-sectional study. Participants: The sample consisted of 381 nurses who worked in hospitals in Slovakia and the Czech Republic. Methods: The data were collected through non-standardized questionnaires in the period July 2020-March 2021. The questionnaires were prepared in 3 versions according to the target sample for which they were intended.Results: The financial loss caused by smoking during the working hours costs employer EUR 862.50 per smoking nurse per year and the time lost due to smoking takes up to 15 working days every year. Conclusion: Managers are not interested in time lost due to smoking during working hours. Management's lack of interest or their indifferent attitude is alarming. Nurse managers should begin to perceive nurses' smoking as a limiting factor in nurses' work performance, given the shorter time devoted to the provision of nursing care.

Introduction. Today, most people own smartphones, which fit into their pockets and are more powerful than the first supercomputers, and which they can use to communicate, stream music or measure their pulse. There is no end in sight to this rapid technological development. This also applies to the rapidly growing volume of health-related data. Objectives: In doctor’s practices, medical data, such as medical history, blood test results and diagnostic findings, are recorded directly in the computer system. In biomedical research entire genomes, for example those of malignant tumors, are sequenced almost routinely and are also stored and processed electronically. And, more and more people are themselves using smartphone apps, wearables and in future perhaps also implanted biosensors for continuously measuring their blood pressure, blood sugar levels and pulse. Methodology: In qualitative social research, there are only a few approaches that involve a detailed explanation and systematization of the typology process. As the concept of type is of central importance for qualitative social research, it is crucial to clarify the concept and the process of typology, as presented by Kluge in her essay published in the FQM (Forum for Qualitative Social Research). In the evaluation of secondary data from the KBV (National Association of Statutory Health Insurance Physicians), the methodology of this approach is based on the procedure of typology development according to Kluge (2000), with the aim of demonstrating a systematic and transparent development of types and typologies in the digitization process.
