Introduction: The dynamic development of the automotive industry, transport, and the media means that human life has become much easier. At the same time, the comfortable living conditions have decreased physical activity. Biologically conditioned, the need of activity has been minimised by the ever-increasing pace of life. As a result, it may lead to the loss of physical and mental health. Active recreation is not only an excellent source of activity, but also a source of satisfaction. Youths and adults should therefore spend their free time primarily on various forms of physical activity. Aim of the research: To evaluate the physical fitness of students who regularly practice physical exercise, those who occasionally practice, and those not practicing any form of physical activity. Material and methods: In the research we used a questionnaire of the Ruffier test and an orthostatic test. The study involved a group of 15 people aged 20–25 years. Participation in the study was entirely voluntary and anonymous. The study group consisted only of women. Results obtained from the questionnaire survey were fully reflected during exercise tests performed. Results and conclusions: Only regularly practiced physical activity has an effect on our body. Regular exercise increases our body’s physical capacity. Activity is the best means of prevention of lifestyle diseases. Youths and adults should spend their free time mainly doing various forms of physical activity.

Good health and well-being are the natural desires of every human being. However, people have to cope with various kinds of stress in everyday life. Most people are under stress due to: the situation in the world, unemployment, traffic jam, their manager’s opinion, illness, divorce, etc. The level of stress increases particularly in situations when people sense danger of physical, social or psychological risks. This phenomenon is very common, and many people have come to think that this is something normal in modern life. Stress can cause depression and frustration, and it does not help in achieving goals and being successful. Ordinary people have a negative concept of stress, but stress response also helps one to rise to meet challenges. Some level of stress is recommended because it helps people to solve problems. While under stress one can function better and work faster, it sharpens concentration and increases brain efficiency. At the beginning of the third millennium, stress has become the people’s enemy, so they should learn how to cope with it. It is common knowledge that one cannot avoid stress, so it is important to learn how to control and deal with it.

Introduction: αa1-Antitrypsin deficiency is an under-recognized condition with long diagnostic delays between the first symptoms and diagnosis, and there is evidence that patients with suggestive symptoms may see many physicians before an exact diagnosis is made. An increased incidence of serum a1-antitrypsin deficiency has been reported in patients with spontaneous pneumothorax. Aim of the research: To evaluate a1-antitrypsin level in subjects with spontaneous pneumothorax. Material and methods: Thirty-nine patients with the diagnosis of spontaneous pneumothorax and 100 ageand sexmatched control subjects were included in the study. a1-antitrypsin concentrations were determined by nephelometry. Serum qualitative Z antitrypsin variant was analyzed using commercial ELISA kits and a1-antitrypsin phenotyping was carried out by means of isoelectric focusing. Results: Spontaneous pneumothorax occurred in 29 patients for the first time; 10 patients had recurrent pneumothorax. There were no significant differences in age and lung function comparing the patients with and without αa1-antitrypsin deficiency. a1-Antitrypsin level was significantly higher in patients with spontaneous pneumothorax (1.53 ±0.23 g/l) than controls (1.34 ±0.31 g/l) (p = 0.03). Conclusions: Elevated serum a1-antitrypsin level in patients with pneumothorax may show the need to inhibit the activity of proteases that are important for lung damage.

Introduction: Cervical cancer is the third most common malignant tumour in women. As far as we know today, the main cause of cervical cancer is human papilloma virus (HPV) infection with high grade oncogenic HPV genotypes, as well as co-occurrence of other factors predisposing women to cervical cancer. According to the WHO, the factors include smoking, multiple sexual partners, low socioeconomic status, herpes simplex virus (HSV) co-infection, human immunodeficiency virus infection, and antioxidant and vitamin insufficiency in the diet. Aim of the research: To assess the knowledge of cervical cancer among young women. Material and methods: The survey was carried out in 2010–2012 in a group of 149 female students at the age of 20 ±1 at the Jan Kochanowski Memorial University, Kielce prior to gynaecology, pathology and oncology classes. The questionnaire survey included closed multiple choice questions. The statistical analyais was conducted by means of PQStat ver. 1.4.4 software using ANOVA and Fisher tests. Results and conclusions: The obtained results show that the 94% of the surveyed people are familiar with the impact of HPV infection, but knowledge of accessory risk factors of cervical cancer is at low level. The study revealed that smoking is regarded as another risk factor by 13% of the surveyed people, HSV infection by 9%, multiple sex partners by 21%, and low hygiene level by 25%. Our examination revealed differences regarding the knowledge and available information sources by the respondents’ place of residence. Knowledge level of cervical cancer development depends on the place of residence and reaches the highest level in towns with over 20,000 inhabitants. The main source of information on cervical cancer risk factors is Internet and peer opinions.
简介:子宫颈癌是女性中第三大常见的恶性肿瘤。据我们今天所知,子宫颈癌的主要原因是感染高度致癌的人乳头瘤病毒(HPV)基因型,以及其他因素共同发生,使妇女易患子宫颈癌。据世界卫生组织称,这些因素包括吸烟、多个性伴侣、低社会经济地位、单纯疱疹病毒(HSV)合并感染、人类免疫缺陷病毒感染以及饮食中抗氧化剂和维生素不足。研究目的:了解年轻女性对宫颈癌的认知情况。材料与方法:调查于2010-2012年在Kielce Jan Kochanowski纪念大学(Jan Kochanowski Memorial University, Kielce)妇科、病理学和肿瘤学课前对年龄在20±1岁的女学生149人进行。问卷调查包括封闭的选择题。采用PQStat软件进行统计分析。1.4.4软件采用方差分析和Fisher检验。结果与结论:获得的结果显示,94%的被调查者熟悉HPV感染的影响,但对宫颈癌的辅助危险因素的认识水平较低。研究显示,13%的受访者认为吸烟是另一个危险因素,9%的人认为感染单纯疱疹病毒,21%的人认为有多个性伴侣,25%的人认为卫生水平低。我们的调查揭示了关于知识和可用信息来源的差异,由受访者的居住地。宫颈癌发展的知识水平取决于居住地,在居民超过2万人的城镇达到最高水平。宫颈癌危险因素的主要信息来源是互联网和同行意见。

Introduction: Even though stuttering is probably as old a phenomenon as the human speech itself, the stuttering therapy is still a challenge for the therapist and requires constant searching for new methods. Qigong may prove to be one of them. Aim of the research: The research paper presents the results of an experimental investigation evaluating the usefulness of qigong practice in stuttering therapy. Material and methods: Two groups of stuttering adults underwent 6-month therapy. In group I – the experimental one (n = 11) – the therapy consisted of speech fluency training, psychotherapy and qigong practice. In group II – the control one (n = 12) – it included speech fluency training and psychotherapy. In both groups 2-hour sessions of speech fluency training and psychotherapy were conducted twice a week. Two-hour qigong sessions took place once a week. Results: After 6 months the therapy results were compared with regard to the basic stuttering parameters, such as the degree of speech disfluency, the level of logophobia and speech disfluency symptoms. Improvement was observed in both groups, the beneficial effects, however, being more prominent in the qigong-practising group. Conclusions: Qigong exercises used in the therapy of stuttering people along with speech fluency training and psycho therapy give beneficial effects.

The effects of alcohol consumption by a pregnant woman are irreversible. Developing organs are damaged in children sub ject to prenatal alcohol exposure; the central nervous system is the most exposed to the toxic effects of alcohol. The type and extent of the damage in the foetus depends, among others, on the amount of consumed alcohol, the time span during which it is consumed, the stage of development of the foetus, as well as the state of health and the degree of nutrition of the preg nant woman. Characteristic symptoms, which are results of the teratogenic effects of alcohol in foetal life, can be observed in subsequent phases of the child’s development. Apart from the somatic changes (especially the characteristic facial appear ance and short stature), one may observe disorders in functioning at school, among peers and in the family. Early diagnosis (until the age of 6), the environment in which the child develops, undertaking a therapy adjusted to the capabilities of the patient and the family, adjusting requirements at school and including the whole family in the therapy are significant factors which influence further functioning of the child.

孕妇饮酒的影响是不可逆转的。胎儿暴露于酒精会损害发育中的器官;中枢神经系统最容易受到酒精的毒性影响。胎儿受到损害的类型和程度,除其他外,取决于饮酒的数量、饮酒的时间跨度、胎儿的发育阶段以及孕妇的健康状况和营养程度。胎儿期酒精致畸效应所导致的特征性症状,可在儿童发育的后续阶段观察到。除了身体上的变化(尤其是面部特征和身材矮小),人们还可以在学校、同龄人和家庭中观察到功能障碍。早期诊断(直到6岁)、儿童成长的环境、根据患者和家庭的能力进行调整的治疗、调整学校的要求以及将整个家庭纳入治疗是影响儿童进一步功能的重要因素。Objawy, przebieg postępowanie w alkoholowym zespole płodowym胎儿酒精综合征的症状、医疗过程和程序Agata Horecka-Lewitowicz, Piotr Lewitowicz, Olga Adamczyk-Gruszka, Dariusz Skawiński, Monika Szpringer 1 Zakład Profilaktyki Społecznej, institut Zdrowia Publicznego, wydziazov Nauk o Zdrowiu, Uniwersytet Jana Kochanowskiego w Kielcach Kierownik Zakładu: hab博士。n的嗡嗡声。Monika Szpringer, UJK 2教授Zakład病理学研究所Pielęgniarstwa i Położnictwa, wydziazownauk o Zdrowiu大学系统Jana Kochanowskiego w Kielcach Kierownik Zakładu: hab博士教授。n. med.

In face of the final phase of a terminal disease, the patient’s family is always in a difficult position. A progressing chronic disease (especially cancer) of one of the family members directly influences the mental and physical state of their closest of kin. Hospice care helps the dying patients and their families. The term “hospitium” is connected through classical Latin to the word “hospes”, which means a person connected with another in a lasting relationship arising out of hospitality, (a host) taking care of newcomers, a traveller, or one visiting a road house. Whereas the concept of palliative care was derived from the following English words: palliate – to relieve pain; palliation – making the symptoms of a disease less severe without curing it. The hospice movement has a very long history, and reaches back to pagan traditions. Initially care was provided in shelters, asylums for the poor and inns. In France, a hospice (asylum) founded in the 15th century for the care over the poorest stands to this day. A great change in the history of nursing was initiated in the 19th century. It was a time of intensive development for medicine and discoveries in the field of biology. Palliative and hospice care as well as palliative medicine owe their professional origins to C. Sanders, the founder of St Christopher’s Hospice in London in 1967. It is also known that in 1987, a palliative care ward began its functioning in Montreal. In Poland, the need to organise household care over seriously ill patients was noticed by H. Chrzanowska (1964), who is seen as the precursor of this kind of care. In the 1980s and 1990s, the idea of hospices experienced a real boom in Poland. Currently a hospice stands for a centre of care over patients in their so-called terminal phase of the disease, where interdisciplinary care is provided. This care creates the conditions for a dignified life until the very end, and thus suffering, pain and death are no longer a problem of the patient alone.

A progressing chronic disease (especially cancer) of one of the family members directly influences the mental and physical state of their closest of kin. Hospice care helps the dying patients and their families. The term “hospitium” is connected through classical Latin to the word “hospes”, which means a person connected with another in a lasting relationship arising out of hospitality, (a host) taking care of newcomers, a traveller, or one visiting a road house. Whereas the concept of palliative care was derived from the following English words: palliate – to relieve pain; palliation – making the symptoms of a disease less severe without curing it. The hospice movement has a very long history, and reaches back to pagan traditions. Initially care was provided in shelters, asylums for the poor and inns.
