Measuring core temperature using the proprietary application and thermo-smartphone adapter.

Fast and accurate measurement of core body temperature is crucial for accidental hypothermia treatment. We have developed a novel light and small adapter to the headset jack of a mobile phone based on Android. It has been applied to measure temperature and set up automatic notifications (e.

Use and costs of concomitant medicines in epileptic patients in Poland: a 12-month prospective multicentre study.

Purpose: Use of concomitant medicines (CMs) is a common practice in people with epilepsy, as comorbidity in this group is frequent. Comedication, especially if it is self-administered, may pose significant hazards due to potential interactions. Some attention has been given to use of CMs in older patients with epilepsy but the CM habits of younger patients are much less known.

[Diagnostics of cat scratch disease and present methods of bartonellosis recognition--a case report].

Bartonella infections including cat scratch disease (CSD) is a group of infectious diseases which are diagnosed sporadically. Because of this fact the number of CSD cases in Poland is underestimated and their incidence is markedly lower in comparison to other European countries. The aim of our report is to present various diagnostic methods and possibilities on the basis of two cases with symptoms of CSD.

[Neoplasms of paranasal sinuses in material of ENT Department MSS Hospital in Warsaw between 2006-2007].

Unlabelled: Tumors of paranasal sinuses present a small percent of tumors detected in the region of head and neck 3-4% and they present a fraction of a percent of tumors in general /0.16%/.

Material: In the years 2004 and 2005, the National Register of Neoplasms recorded 120 and 132 cases of malignant tumors of paranasal sinuses, respectively.

Time course of adverse events in patients with localization-related epilepsy receiving topiramate added to carbamazepine.

Purpose: To explore the time course of treatment-emergent adverse events (AEs) during topiramate (TPM) adjunctive therapy.

Methods: Post hoc analyses were performed by using data from a large (264 subjects) multicenter, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial in which 200 mg/day TPM was added to carbamazepine (CBZ) with or without another antiepileptic drug (AED) in adults with treatment-resistant partial-onset seizures. The daily incidence and mean duration of the most common (> or =5% incidence) AEs were calculated for patients completing the 12-week study.
