The Hormonal Background of Hair Loss in Non-Scarring Alopecias.

Hair loss is a common clinical condition connected with serious psychological distress and reduced quality of life. Hormones play an essential role in the regulation of the hair growth cycle. This review focuses on the hormonal background of hair loss, including pathophysiology, underlying endocrine disorders, and possible treatment options for alopecia.

Non-compliance with medical recommendations results in delayed hospitalization and poorer prognosis in patients with cerebral ischemic stroke in Poland: Non-compliance effects on post-ischemic stroke prognosis.

Objectives: This study aimed to reveal and analyze the causes of delays in reaching the hospital of patients with cerebral ischemic stroke and to assess their clinical picture.

Material And Methods: The study group included 161 patients with stroke, who reported to the hospital beyond the thrombolytic treatment therapeutic window. The control group consisted of 85 patients recruited consecutively with stroke who received thrombolytic treatment per eligibility criteria.

The correlation between two potentially antagonistic human adipocytokines, WISP-1 and CTRP1, and their association with insulin resistance.

Introduction And Objective: Wnt-1 signaling pathway protein 1 (WISP-1) and complement-C1q TNF-related protein 1 (CTRP1) are adipokines with possible opposite effects in regulating insulin sensitivity. The study investigated the correlation between circulating WISP-1 and CTRP1 in non-diabetic patients. Correlations between adipokines concentrations and biochemical and anthropometric parameters were also studied.

Serum Asprosin Correlates with Indirect Insulin Resistance Indices.

Background And Objectives: Insulin resistance is a major contributor to the development of type 2 diabetes and can be assessed using indirect indicators calculated from non-invasive tests. Asprosin is a recently discovered adipokine with a postulated effect on glycemic regulation. This study aimed to investigate the correlation between serum asprosin levels and insulin resistance indices.

Ireneusz Wierzejewski: treatment of amputees of the upper limb in Poznan during the Great War.

Introduction: The Great War (1914-1918) caused a dramatic increase in the number of limbless invalids. Orthopaedics became the field of medicine that could offer the most effective help for those patients.

Objective: This review article aims to present how new operations and methods in the field of orthopaedics spread to other countries during the Great War.
