Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate the accuracy of paramedics in determining if a heart rhythm is shockable during CPR, using both simulated ECG recordings and an automated external defibrillator (AED) for assessment.
- Out of 103 participating paramedics, the average accuracy in making correct defibrillation decisions was 83.7%, with scores ranging from 45.5% to 100%. The AED mode showed a mean accuracy of 77.3%.
- The findings suggest the need for enhanced training and continuous quality monitoring for paramedics to improve rhythm recognition, emphasizing that AEDs should support, not replace, professional assessment in emergencies.
Article Synopsis
- Hematological and biochemical blood parameters are essential for assessing the health of animals, particularly for populations like European bison (Bison bonasus).
- The study involved blood samples from 79 healthy European bison to establish normal values and analyze relationships with age and sex.
- Findings indicated expected correlations related to age and gender, but also revealed unexpected results, such as higher sodium levels in younger bison, which can aid in efforts to conserve this endangered species.
With a history tracing back to at least the 18th century and a substantial global influence on various breeds, Polish Arabian horse population is of paramount importance for both breeders and conservationists. However, its genetic makeup and the population dynamics are still not well understood. This study presents an analysis of the modern Polish Arabian horse population using pedigree data, focusing on the breed's genetic diversity and population structure.

Introduction: Scabies is a contagious parasitic disease, a skin infestation caused by Scaroptes scabieri, tiny mites that burrow under the skin. Outbreaks of scabies can be difficult to control and require the implementation of appropriate control programme.
Objective: The purpose of the study was to analyze the epidemiology of scabies in north-east Poland, considering socio-economic and selected climatic factors.
