Background: Although dog-assisted therapy (DAT) has been used for years, there is still a scarcity of research findings confirming efficacy of the method. The current study was designed to assess effects of DAT on psychomotor development of children with mild intellectual disabilities.
Material And Method: The study involved 60 children with mild intellectual disabilities, aged 10-13 years, divided into a group participating in a 10-month DAT program, and the control group.
Unlabelled: Legionella pneumophila infection (legionellosis) usually presents as a multisystemic disease, predominantly affecting the lungs (Legionnaires' disease - LD). Immunodeficiency, chemotherapy or chronic steroids use increase the risk of developing LD. Extrapulmonary manifestations of LD include cardiac complications: myocarditis, pericarditis or endocarditis.

- Sepsis negatively affects capillary function and oxygen delivery, potentially worsening patient outcomes.
- Lower levels of immunoglobulin G2 do not contribute to severe flu complications, suggesting other factors may play a role in flu severity.
- New research indicates that intravenous immunoglobulin may provide brain protection during sepsis by blocking harmful immune responses such as complement activation and apoptosis. *
Background: Before our study, there were no data concerning complex evaluation of: plasma PCSK9 concentrations, transcript LDL receptor (LDLR), as well as the total amount of monocytes' LDLR in acute coronary syndrome (ACS) patients. PCSK9 levels in a few cohort studies were found to correlate with the number of white blood cells (WBC) or platelets (PLT). The study aims to evaluate PCSK9-LDLR concentrations, as well as to find any association between PCSK9 and WBC or PLT.
