Perinatal Outcomes and Level of Labour Difficulty in Deliveries with Right and Left Foetal Position-A Preliminary Study.

Background: Many studies have shown the negative influence of the foetus's occiput posterior position during birth on the final perinatal outcome. This study aims to add to the discussion on the impact of foetus positioning on the course of labour and subjective assessment of the level of labour difficulty.

Methods: The cross-sectional study took place from February 2020 to September 2021, and consisted of filling out observation forms and the assessment by the midwives and women of the level of labour difficulty.

Using Robson classification to analyze cesarean section and induction rates in relation to changes in the standards of perinatal care in one hospital in Poland.

Background: Poland has one of the highest cesarean birth (CB) rates in Europe. For this study, we used the Robson Ten-Group Classification System (TGCS) to analyze trends in the induction and CB rates in one hospital in Poland over a period of 11 years. We compare these trends with changes in National Legislative and Medical Guidelines introduced during this time that were aimed at lowering rates of unnecessary medical interventions.

Barley malt-based composition as a galactagogue - a randomized, controlled trial in preterm mothers.

Objectives: Delayed or insufficient breast milk production, as well as low milk supply, is still a challenging problem to overcome, particularly in the case of preterm delivery. Herbal galactagogues might be a good way to increase milk supply, however, there is a lack of clinical studies confirming their efficacy and safety. The aim of this study was to verify the safety and effectiveness as a galactagogue of the unique galactagogue composition based on barley malt with β -glucan and lemon balm.

Lipid Profile, Lipase Bioactivity, and Lipophilic Antioxidant Content in High Pressure Processed Donor Human Milk.

Human milk fat plays an essential role as the source of energy and cell function regulator; therefore, the preservation of unique human milk donors' lipid composition is of fundamental importance. To compare the effects of high pressure processing (HPP) and holder pasteurization on lipidome, human milk was processed at 62.5 °C for 30 min and at five variants of HPP from 450 MPa to 600 MPa, respectively.

New Achievements in High-Pressure Processing to Preserve Human Milk Bioactivity.

High-pressure processing (HPP) is a non-thermal technology that is being increasingly applied in food industries worldwide. It was proposed that this method could be used as an alternative to holder pasteurization (HoP; 62.5°C, 30 min) in milk banks but its impact on the immunologic, enzymatic and hormonal components of human milk has not yet been evaluated in detail.

Content of fatty acids in a diet and the homocysteine levels in women with fertility disorders.

Objectives: Assessment of the effects of consumption of fatty acids on the homocysteine levels in women with fertility disorders.

Methods And Results: The study included 286 women at the age between 23 and 46 years (the mean 33.13±4.

Quality of life in childhood epilepsy with lateralized epileptogenic foci.

Background: Measuring quality of life (QOL) helps to delineate mechanisms underlying the interaction of disease and psychosocial factors. In adults, epileptic foci in the left temporal lobe led to lower QOL and higher depression and anxiety as compared to the right-sided foci. No study addressed the development of QOL disturbances depending on the lateralization of epileptogenic focus.

[Polish adaptation and validation of beck youth inventories of emotional and social impairment].

Introduction: Psychiatric disorders are common among children and adolescents, affecting about 15-22% of this population. In order to fully develop emotional and cognitive skills, those children require professional care at early stages of the illness. Inventories addressing the broad range of emotional and social impairments, with high reliability and validity, can be of great help in early diagnostics.

[Polish adaptation and validation of Health-Related Quality of Life in Childhood Epilepsy Questionnaire].

Background And Purpose: Epilepsy is a frequent chronic disease in children, having a strong impact on a child's psychosocial functioning. Effective therapy must take into account the wide range of physical, psychological and social needs of patients. The importance of assessing patients' quality of life is becoming increasingly acknowledged.
