Towards Modern Care and Education for Persons with visual Impairments in Poland: Elżbieta Róża Czacka (1876-1961) and Her Contribution to the Development of Typhlology-Religious Inspirations.

The aim of this study is to show the relationship between spirituality and the development of modern typhlology focused on supporting people with visual impairments. The text presents the silhouette of Mother Rose Czacka, the sources of her Catholic spirituality and the development of typhlological thought related to her, as well as Dzieło Lasek, which is an emanation of these relationships. The aim of this study is to show the relationship between spirituality and the development of modern typhlology focused on supporting people with visual impairments.

Application of Chemical Sensors and Olfactometry Method in Ecological Audits of Degraded Areas.

Mineral excavation is a common process throughout the world. The open pits remaining after the closure of a mine require well-considered and meticulous reclamation activities aimed at restoring the environmental properties of a given area. The inspections carried out in Poland indicate numerous irregularities in implementing the reclamation process.

Fungal contamination of ward furnishings and medical equipment used in the treatment and nursing of newborns.

Introduction And Objective: Newborn babies staying on hospital wards are likely to be colonized by microorganisms, including potentially pathogenic fungi. The aim of the study was to assess the mycological purity of hospital wards and medical equipment utilized in the treatment and nursing of newborns.

Material And Methods: The study was conducted in Neonatal High Dependency Units (NHDU) and Neonatal Intensive Care Units (NICU).

Overweight and obesity may play a role in the pathogenesis of chronic spontaneous urticaria.

Background: Chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU) is one of the commonest diseases in allergological and dermatological practice. It constitutes an interdisciplinary problem, and its pathogenesis is not always easily determined. It has been suggested that metabolic syndrome and hyperlipidaemia are more frequent in patients with CSU, but the influence of overweight and obesity on the development of CSU has not been thoroughly investigated.

The presence of A5935G, G5949A, G6081A, G6267A, T9540C mutations in MT-CO1 and MT-CO3 genes and other variants of MT-CO1 and MT-CO3 gene fragments in the study population diagnosed with endometrial cancer.

Objectives: The specific purpose of this study was the assessment of A5935G, G5949A, G6081A, G6267A mutations in MT-CO1 and T9540C in MT-CO3, and alterations detected during the analysis of MT-CO gene fragments in subject and control groups. A secondary aim was to assess the relationship between MT-CO1 and MT-CO3 gene alterations and endometrial cancer incidence and evaluation of the prognostic value of MT-CO1 and MT-CO3 gene alterations.

Material And Methods: In this study, we investigated A5935G, G5949A, G6081A, G6267A mutations in MT-CO1 and T9540C in MT-CO3, and alterations detected during the analysis of MT-CO gene fragments in formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded endometrial and benign endometrial hyperplasia of a cohort of 125 subjects.
