There is a discussion in Europe about the dominant role of air pollution for health effects, most researchers claim that particulate matter responsible inflammatory processes respiratory system, while others underline nitrogen dioxide. The aim study was to assess risk related NOx, NO2 and PM2.5 concentration increase daily outpatient visits or hospitalization due bronchitis asthma exacerbation entire population Silesian Voivodeship, Poland. To relationship between pollutants concentrations...
Introduction Lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)] is an independent risk factor for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD). Increased Lp(a) concentration > 30 mg/dl (75 nmol/l) and especially >50 (125 may cause faster atherosclerosis, being important underdiagnosed residual factor. Thus, there a need to characterize further the clinical phenotypes in patients at ASCVD with high levels now during follow-up, while also looking possible impact of geographical differences. Material methods The...
Randomized controlled trials demonstrate that remote monitoring (RM) of implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs) and cardiac resynchronization therapy devices (CRT-Ds) may improve quality care prognosis in heart failure (HF) patients. However, the impact RM on long-term mortality a real-world cohort is still not well examined.This study was designed as matched based COMMIT-HF trial--a single-center, ongoing prospective observational registry (NCT02536443). Complete patient...
The relationship between the worsening of air quality during colder season year and respiratory health problems among exposed population in many countries located cold climates has been well documented numerous studies. Silesian Voivodeship, a region southern Poland, is one most polluted regions Europe. aim this study was to assess daily concentration particulate matter (PM: PM2.5 PM10) ambient exacerbations diseases period from 1 January 2016 31 August 2017 central agglomeration area...
Background/Objective: Risk stratification in elderly patients with heart failure (HF) is very difficult. There a lack of reliable tools for assessing the risk death this population patients. The aim study was to determine association between albumin–bilirubin (ALBI) score and long-term mortality hospitalized decompensated HF. Methods: included 242 consecutive HF aged over 65 years worsening chronic at our institution 2019 2023. ALBI calculated according appropriate formula. Results: median...
Background . Previous reports provided inconsistent data on the occurrence of postoperative delirium and emphasized its considerable impact outcome. This study sought to evaluate incidence predictors delirium, together with relation cerebral ischemia in a large cohort cardiac surgery patients tertiary high-volume center.

Published reports suggest that some adverse health impact may be related to noise exposure, and motor vehicle traffic is considered the main source of environmental hazard noise. The aim this study has been assess an association between occurrence sleep attention disorders with exposure generated by in case a large group children living urban environment.The data was obtained using cross sectional design Bytom (Silesia, Poland) from 2003-2007 for selected 7-14 year olds (N = 5136)....
Childhood chronic disease may affect patients' and their family's functioning. Particularly parents, who play an important role in cooperation between patient health care professionals, report impaired - related quality of life (HRQOL). The aim this study was development, evaluation validation a new instrument: Quality Life Child's Chronic Disease Questionnaire (QLCCDQ). questionnaire is addressed to parents children with disease. Study design included semi structured interview qualitative...

Objective: New technologies to measure pain responses, such as heart rate variability and skin conductance hold promise in the development of tools that can be reliable quantifiable detecting pain. The main objective this study was assess capability two monitors i.e., Newborn Infant Parasympathetic Evaluation (NIPE) Skin Conductance Algesimeter for procedural non-anesthetized infants. Materials Methods: Thirty-three infants were enrolled study. To detect caused by heel stick, NIPE,...
Abstract
Pain is one of the most frequently reported symptoms multiple sclerosis (MS). It affects daily functioning patients, limits ability to work and reduces joy life. The aim study was analyze impact pain on quality life as well anxiety depression in patients with MS.The included 144 diagnosed MS (mean age 41±12 years, mean illness duration 10.3±8.6 years). carried out basis author's survey current previous - Quality Life Self-esteem Questionnaire (EuroQol5D) Hospital Anxiety Depression Scale...
Abstract Introduction Asthma is considered an important problem in children and influences on their everyday functioning. This study was concerned with the impact of asthma health‐related quality life (HRQOL) newly recognized pediatric patients parents. Methods Patients were identified by a general respiratory survey. HRQOL assessed self‐report measures: disease‐specific questionnaire for children, Pediatric Quality Life Questionnaire (PAQLQ) generic parents—the Child's Chronic Disease...
The aim of this study is to evaluate the ability Newborn Infant Parasympathetic Evaluation (NIPE) index detect response nociceptive stimuli in nonanesthetized infants and compare these results simultaneous scoring by behavioral scales.Thirty-six admitted neonatal/pediatric intensive care unit (N/PICUs) were enrolled study. Due faulty records data, three patients had be excluded. To pain caused noxious stimuli, heart-rate-variability-derived NIPE scales designed for measuring procedural...
Background: The benefits of oral anticoagulation (OAC) therapy are undeniable. However, such treatment is contraindicated in 2%–10% patients. According to the latest guidelines, percutaneous left atrial appendage occlusion (LAAO) may be considered stroke prevention. Aims: We analyzed data patients from Polish population, who had undergone LAAO procedures Silesian Province based on limited reports. Methods: SILCARD database all underwent between 2006 and 2019, databases centers performing...
Aim The aim of this study was to characterize a group children with early and late remote seizures, which occurred after arterial ischaemic stroke ( AIS ), find predictors post‐stroke seizures. Method group, recruited in the Department Neuropediatrics (Medical University Silesia, Katowice, Poland), comprised 78 individuals (range 1–18y) who had suffered stroke: 13 participants occurring up 7 days , seven more than 58 no Results Post‐stroke epilepsy 10 patients having Participants affected by...
