Introduction. Achieving high performance in sports is the result of many factors, both exo and endogenous. Proper nutrition is the basis of the so-called healthy lifestyle, health care and prevention of diet-related diseases. Physical activity is an extremely important component and carries a number of benefits that affect mental, physical and social well-being. Failure to provide sufficient energy, can lead to decreased performance, delayed recovery processes or loss of muscle mass. The purpose of the study was to assess the knowledge and nutritional habits of CrossFit trainees. Material and methods. 131 people were surveyed; the questionnaire was posted on the CrossFit Poland forum. The survey was voluntary and anonymous. The results were collected in a database in Microsoft Excel 2010 MS Office Package and statistically analyzed using Statistica 12. In the statistical evaluation of the relationship between characteristics, a significance level of p ≤ 0.05 was adopted. Results. In a survey of the knowledge and eating habits of CrossFit trainees, about 50% of respondents declare that they eat regularly. In addition, 50.5% state a moderate level of knowledge about healthy eating, while 33% state a high level. There is a high incidence of dietary supplement intake, accounting for 78.5%. As the frequency of training increases, the amount of supplements consumed increases. Conclusions. A significant part of the study group declares a very good or moderate level of knowledge of rational nutrition, which influences the choice of and regularity of the meals consumed in this group of Crossfit trainers.
介绍。在运动中取得高成绩是许多因素的结果，既有外在因素，也有内在因素。适当的营养是所谓健康生活方式、保健和预防与饮食有关疾病的基础。体育活动是一个极其重要的组成部分，它带来了许多影响精神、身体和社会福祉的好处。不能提供足够的能量，可以导致性能下降，延迟恢复过程或肌肉质量的损失。这项研究的目的是评估混合健身学员的知识和营养习惯。材料和方法。131人接受了调查;问卷被张贴在波兰CrossFit论坛上。这项调查是自愿和匿名的。将结果收集到Microsoft Excel 2010 MS Office软件包中的数据库中，并使用Statistica 12进行统计分析。在特征间关系的统计评价中，采用p≤0.05的显著性水平。结果。在一项对CrossFit学员的知识和饮食习惯的调查中，约有50%的受访者表示他们有规律地饮食。此外，50.5%的人表示健康饮食知识水平中等，33%的人表示健康饮食知识水平较高。膳食补充剂摄入发生率较高，占78.5%。随着训练频率的增加，补品的消耗量也随之增加。结论。研究组中有很大一部分人声称对合理营养有很好的或中等程度的了解，这影响了这组Crossfit训练者的膳食选择和规律性。

Introduction: Primary membranous nephropathy (PMN) is a common cause of nephrotic syndrome in adults, characterized by the deposition of immune complexes in the glomerular basement membrane. Aim of this study: evaluate the features of PMN such as incidence, pathology, clinical features and assess the effectiveness of immunosuppressive therapy. Materials and Methods: The review was based on articles found in PubMed database, using keyword „primary membranous nephropathy” with appropriate sufixes. Results: PMN is a challenging disease that requires a multidisciplinary approach to diagnosis and management. Laboratory tests, including assessment of autoantibodies and complement levels, are essential for the diagnosis of PMN. Immunosuppressive therapy can be effective in inducing remission in a significant proportion of patients. Conclusions: Further research is needed to optimize the duration and intensity of immunosuppressive therapy, and to evaluate the role of newer therapies such as rituximab and belimumab.

This article explores the potential benefits and challenges of using the amniotic membrane in surgical procedures. Amniotic membranes have been shown to possess anti-inflammatory, anti-scarring, and antimicrobial properties, which can promote wound healing and tissue regeneration. They can be utilized in a variety of surgical settings, including ophthalmology, plastic surgery, and orthopedics. However, the use of amniotic membranes also poses certain limitations and risks, such as the potential for immune reactions and disease transmission. The article reviews the current literature on amniotic membrane usage in surgery and discusses the clinical implications and future research directions. In summary, the amniotic membrane represents a promising alternative to traditional surgical approaches, but its benefits and limitations must be carefully weighed and assessed in each individual case.

Pregnancy is a unique period in a woman's life, so every pregnant woman should be aware of the importance of physical exercise during pregnancy. The purpose of this study was to compare the physical activity of women in the second and third trimesters of pregnancy. The standardized Physical Activity Questionnaire for Pregnant Women (PPAQ-PL) was used to achieve the purpose of the study. Thirty women in the age range of 18-35 years (28 years±3.54) participated in the study. Analysis of the results showed that higher values of total weekly energy expenditure were obtained by the group of women in the third trimester of pregnancy (206.37 MET/h/week) compared to pregnant women in the second trimester (140.42MET/h/week). The women differed in terms of energy expenditure in activities such as housework (in women in the second trimester 49.1% of total activity, in the third trimester 56.7%), passive rest (24.1% and 14.5%), professional work (12.9% and 7.7%), sports and exercise (2.8% and 6.6%), and moving around (10.6% and 14.5%). In both women in the second and third trimesters of pregnancy, a low level of activity intensity prevailed (58.08% and 55.64%). Energy expenditure on sports and exercise consistent with the recommended for the second trimester (≥28 MET/h/week) was declared by only 6% of the women surveyed, while in the third trimester the recommended energy expenditure on physical activity (≥16 MET/h/week) was fulfilled by 29% of pregnant women. There is an ongoing need to educate women about the benefits of systematic prenatal activity.

Introduction and aim of the study: Obesity is not only increases the risk of developing other diseases, but is itself a chronic disease. It is characterized by a lack of tendency to spontaneous resolution and a tendency to relapse. The growing number of patients facing obesity and its consequences prompts the search for newer and newer methods of its treatment. The aim of this paper is to discuss modern methods of obesity therapy, aimed at reducing the risk of its consequences, both health, psychological, social and economic. Methods and materials: This literature review is based on articles published in the PubMed database from 2016 to 2023, using the following phrases: "obesity risk factors", "obesity treatment", "diagnosis of obesity", "GLP -1 obesity". State of knowledg: We now know that obesity is a disease that needs to be treated. The goal of therapy is not only to achieve the target body weight, but also to reduce the risk of disease and improve the control of coexisting diseases. Conclusion: Obesity is a disease that requires interdisciplinary treatment based on behavioral therapy including changing the lifestyle to a healthier one, psychological support and pharmacological, and in some cases, surgical treatment.

Mental disorders are a significant clinical problem due to the frequent ineffectiveness of their treatment. This is due to the not fully understood etiopathogenesis of these diseases. Often, the mechanism of action of a given therapy is not known and it is not clear why treatments that work in some patients may not produce any clinical improvement in others. The currently used pharmacotherapy and psychotherapy often turn out to be insufficient, which prompts the search for other methods of therapy, including neurosurgical methods.

Oncofertility is an emerging field at the intersection of oncology and reproductive medicine that aims to address the fertility-related consequences of cancer treatment. Advances in cancer diagnosis and treatment have led to significant improvements in survival rates, but many cancer treatments can cause infertility or premature ovarian failure, which can have a profound impact on the quality of life and overall well-being of cancer survivors. Oncofertility seeks to provide patients with the opportunity to preserve their reproductive potential before undergoing cancer treatment, thus ensuring that they have options for starting a family after treatment. This field encompasses a range of approaches, including fertility preservation techniques. While oncofertility is still a relatively new field, it has already made significant strides in improving the quality of life for cancer survivors. However, there are still many challenges that must be addressed, including access to oncofertility services and the development of new and more effective techniques. This paper will explore the current state of oncofertility research and highlight some of the key challenges and opportunities in this important field.

Introduction and objective Yerba Mate (YM) is a popular drink obtained from the dried and ground leaves of the Ilex paraguariens. The beneficial effects of Yerba Mate on the cardiovascular system, lipid-lowering, anti-diabetic, hepatoprotective and stimulating properties are known, however, there are also reports supporting its toxicity, that the consumption of Yerba Mate may predispose to the development of cancer. The purpose of this article is to present and organize information on the correlation between drinking Yerba Mate and cancer. Review methods A review of the available literature was performed by searching the PubMed and Google Scholar databases using the following keywords: Yerba Mate and cancer, Yerba Mate. Abbreviated description of the state of knowledge Substances contained in Yerba Mate have a positive impact on the human body. They exert health-promoting effects, e.g. increasing HDL levels and enhancing the antioxidant effect. A particularly desirable effect of Yerba Mate is its modulating effect on the course of the carcinogenesis process. Current knowledge on this subject is not complete. There are no evidences that substances in Yerba Mate without other risk factors increase the risk of oesophageal cancer. It is worth emphasizing that the properties of the Yerba Mate components are related to the reduction of the development of metastases of other cancers. Summary Despite the carcinogenic PAHs contained in the YM extract, there is no clear evidence that drinking it alone, without taking into account the temperature of the drink, could predispose to the development of esophageal cancer. Many substances found in YM have a beneficial effect on the human body.

Introduction: Crohn's disease is an idiopathic inflammatory disorder of unknown etiology, associated with genetic, immunological, and environmental factors. The incidence of this disease continues to rise in developed countries. In almost 25% of patients, perianal fistulas occur during the course of the disease, which are difficult to treat and significantly impair the patient's quality of life. Aim of the study: To summarize the current state of knowledge on the treatment of Crohn's disease with perianal fistulas, with a particular focus on biological therapies and stem cell treatments. Methods and Materials: A systemic review was conducted using PubMed, Google Scholar, and ScienceDirect databases and it was limited to studies published in last 5 years. The search strategy was based on following terms: "Crohn's disease", "perianal fistula", "biological treatment", and "inflammatory bowel disease". Results: In recent years, there has been intensive research into new treatment options for perianal fistulas in Crohn's disease. Infliximab remains the first-line therapy, best controlled by monitoring the drug concentration in the serum. Alternatively, other drugs such as ustekinumab and vedolizumab may be considered. The combination of biological and surgical treatment is a recognized standard of care and modern, minimally invasive techniques that preserve sphincters, such as the FiLaC™ laser procedure, are increasingly being used. A novel and very promising therapeutic approach is based on mesenchymal stem cells, which may offer hope for patients who do not improve with standard treatment. Conclusion: Perianal disease in patients with Crohn's disease poses a significant therapeutic challenge and has a substantial negative impact on the physical and emotional well-being of patients. Despite the existence of various therapeutic options, a certain percentage of patients still fails to achieve clinical remission. Further research into new therapies is necessary.

The incidence of this disease continues to rise in developed countries. In almost 25% of patients, perianal fistulas occur during the course of the disease, which are difficult to treat and significantly impair the patient's quality of life. \u0000Aim of the study: To summarize the current state of knowledge on the treatment of Crohn's disease with perianal fistulas, with a particular focus on biological therapies and stem cell treatments. \u0000Methods and Materials: A systemic review was conducted using PubMed, Google Scholar, and ScienceDirect databases and it was limited to studies published in last 5 years. The search strategy was based on following terms: \"Crohn's disease\", \"perianal fistula\", \"biological treatment\", and \"inflammatory bowel disease\". \u0000Results: In recent years, there has been intensive research into new treatment options for perianal fistulas in Crohn's disease. Infliximab remains the first-line therapy, best controlled by monitoring the drug concentration in the serum. Alternatively, other drugs such as ustekinumab and vedolizumab may be considered. The combination of biological and surgical treatment is a recognized standard of care and modern, minimally invasive techniques that preserve sphincters, such as the FiLaC™ laser procedure, are increasingly being used. A novel and very promising therapeutic approach is based on mesenchymal stem cells, which may offer hope for patients who do not improve with standard treatment. \u0000Conclusion: Perianal disease in patients with Crohn's disease poses a significant therapeutic challenge and has a substantial negative impact on the physical and emotional well-being of patients.

Aim of the article The aim of the article is to summarize the current state of knowledge about brain-computer interfaces (BCI), i.e. systems that allow you to control electronic devices by recording the activity of nerve cells. Materials and methods The article is based on a literature review in the PubMed database. Conclusions Disorders of the nervous system pose a great therapeutic challenge due to the limited regenerative capacity of the nervous tissue. In the future, BCI may become an opportunity to improve the quality of life of patients with neurological diseases. Thanks to technological progress and increasing abilities in the field of physiology of neurons, the possibilities of using this system are increasing. Clinical trials have been performed on patients with various types of neurological deficits, including movement disorders and aphasia. Brain-computer interfaces can also help with vision loss, epilepsy, and many other conditions
