Toxoplasma gondii (TG) is a parasitic protozoon that may cause miscarriages or birth defects if the infection occurs during pregnancy. The study's aim was to evaluate risk factors associated with TG in pregnant women. Medical charts for all 273 women suspected consecutively admitted Hospital of Warsaw between 2019 and 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. presumptive diagnosis verified by serologic assessment IgM IgG titers, affinity tests. median age 32 years (range: 19-42 years). primary...

Abstract Introduction The role of mitral valve prolapse (MVP) as an arrhythmic substrate rather than isolated structural defect is under investigation. There a possible link between the MVP, its morphology, and MVP (aMVP). Purpose To obtain data on morphology clinical significance in Polish population. Methods 417 patients with (mean age 45.5 years-yrs.; females: 249/59.7%) were enrolled into prospective observational registry MITPROL AR-PL Cardiac Society. Data was obtained from 23 tertiary...

Introduction Kawasaki disease (KD) is a pediatric vasculitis that can result in coronary artery aneurysm (CAA) formation, which dangerous complication. Treatment with intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIg) significantly decreases the risk of CAA, possibly through competitive binding to Fc-gamma receptors (Fc γ Rs), reduces pathological immune complexes. However, ~20% children have recrudescence fever and an increased CAA. Therefore, we aimed identify genetic markers at FCGR2/3 locus associated...

The main objective is to assess the economic implications of replacing standard oral corticosteroid treatment with budesonide MMX® for induction remission in mild-to-moderate ulcerative colitis (UC). Steroid-associated adverse events (AEs) provoke high costs and generate significant expenditures public payer. Budesonide was found have favorable safety profile due lower bioavailability than systemic steroids. According these findings MMX allows even 7-fold reduction risk events. Therefore,...
