COVID-19 vaccinations are essential to mitigate the pandemic and prevent severe SARS-CoV-2 infections. However, serum antibody levels in vaccinated individuals gradually decrease over time, while is undergoing an evolution toward more transmissible variants, such as B.1.617.2, ultimately increasing risk of breakthrough infections further virus spread. This cross-sectional online study adult Poles (n = 2427) was conducted September 2021 (before a general recommendation administer booster...
Vaccine hesitancy is a major threat to the success of COVID-19 vaccination programs. The present cross-sectional online survey adult Poles (n = 1020) expressing willingness receive vaccine was conducted between February and March 2021 aimed assess (i) general trust in different types vaccines, (ii) level acceptance vaccines already use Poland (BNT162b2 by BioNTech/Pfizer, mRNA-1273 Moderna AZD1222 Oxford/AstraZeneca) as well eight approved outside European Union (EU) or advanced stages...
Urbanization can considerably affect water reservoirs by, inter alia, input, and accumulation of contaminants including metals. Located in the course River Cybina, Maltański Reservoir (Western Poland) is an artificial shallow body built for recreation sport purposes which undergoes restoration treatment (drainage) every 4 years. In present study, we demonstrate nine metals (Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, Mn, Ni, Pb, Zn) water, sediment, three bivalve species (Anodonta anatina, Anodonta cygnea, Unio...
Pursuing vaccinations against COVID-19 brings hope to limit the spread of SARS-CoV-2 and remains most rational decision under pandemic conditions. However, it does not come without challenges, including temporary shortages in vaccine doses, significant inequity, questions regarding durability vaccine-induced immunity that remain unanswered. Moreover, has undergone evolution with emergence its novel variants, characterized by enhanced transmissibility ability at least partially evade...
Arthrospira spp. (known commercially as Spirulina) and Chlorella spp., valued for their evidence-based nutritional bioactive properties, are cultivated the purpose of production food supplements worldwide distribution. However, quality safety final product depends on culturing manufacturing conditions. The present study investigated content toxic elements (As species, Al, Cd, Hg, Ni, Pt, Pb, Cr (VI), rare earth elements) minerals (Ca, Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, K, Na, Mg, Mn, P, Zn) in (n = 10)...
There is increasing evidence that programmed cell death (PCD) in cyanobacteria triggered by oxidative stress and it contributes to the survival of cyanobacterial population such as Microcystis aeruginosa. At same time, microcystins (MCs) released during lysis have been implicated colony formation (enabled release polysaccharides) M. aeruginosa - a strategy allows effect stressor, including grazing be avoided or decreased. This experimental research has explored whether extracts Daphnia magna...
Cyanobacteria are good candidates for various martian applications as a potential source of food, fertilizer, oxygen, and biofuels. However, the increased levels highly toxic perchlorates may be significant obstacle to their growth on Mars. Therefore, in present study, 17 cyanobacteria strains that belong Chroococcales, Chroococcidiopsidales, Nostocales, Oscillatoriales, Pleurocapsales, Synechococcales were exposed 0.25-1.0% magnesium perchlorate concentrations (1.5-6.0 mM ClO4- ions) 14...
Air pollution can adversely affect the immune response and increase severity of viral disease. The present study aimed to explore relationship between symptomatology, clinical course, inflammation markers adult patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) hospitalized in Poland (n = 4432) air levels, i.e., mean 24 h max level benzo(a)pyrene (B(a)P) particulate matter <10 μm (PM10) <2.5 (PM2.5) during a week before their hospitalization. Exposures PM2.5 B(a)P exceeding limits were...
Aortic stenosis (AS) is a leading cause of surgical intervention in adults with acquired heart disease, driven by an aging population and advancements diagnostic treatment approaches. This study aimed to investigate levels macroelements (Ca, K, Na, Mg, P) aortic valve tissues, serum, epicardial fat patients undergoing replacement due degenerative disease. Elemental composition was determined using inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry. Analyses revealed distinct accumulation Ca P not...
Copper mining generates large quantities of waste, tailings, and acid outflows causing long-term environmental impacts potential threats to human health. Valea Şesei is the largest tailing impoundment in Romania, created by flooding valley (known as Şesei) Metalliferous Mountains (a division Apuseni Mountains) with copper waste. The present study (i) estimated total volume tailings this area; (ii) screened concentration 65 elements (rare earth platinum group elements, alkali metals metals,...
