Diabetes Mellitus Is Still a Strong Predictor of Periprocedural Outcomes of Primary Percutaneous Coronary Interventions in Patients Presenting with ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction (from the ORPKI Polish National Registry).

The impact of diabetes mellitus (DM) on outcomes of patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) was confirmed by several studies. However, it is unclear whether this effect is still present in large groups of unselected patients undergoing up-to-date treatment. Thus, we sought to assess the impact of DM on periprocedural outcomes of primary PCI in STEMI using data from the Polish National Registry of PCI.

Assessment of application of the new 2019 European Society of Cardiology/ European Atherosclerosis Society Guidelines for the Management of Dyslipidaemias in daily clinical practice - one center study.

B a c k g r o u n d: Cardiovascular diseases are the first cause of death globally. Hypercholester- olemia is the most important factor responsible for atherosclerotic plaque formation and increasing cardiovascular risk. Reduction of LDL-C level is the most relevant goal for reduction of cardiovascular risk.

Manifestation of Susac syndrome during interferon beta-1a and glatiramer acetate treatment for misdiagnosed multiple sclerosis: a case report.

Background: Susac syndrome (SS) is characterized by the triad of encephalopathy, branch retinal artery occlusion, and sensorineural hearing loss. However, the diagnosis of SS remains difficult because the clinical triad rarely occurs at disease onset, and symptom severity varies. SS symptoms often suggest other diseases, in particular multiple sclerosis (MS), which is more common.

Does the operator's sex matter? An analysis based on the national interventional cardiology registry.

Background: A small number of female cardiologists work in the field of interventional cardiology. Such disparity is observed in most European countries.

Aims: We present the first national report on the practice patterns and outcomes regarding percutaneous coronary interventions (PCIs) performed by female operators (FOs) in Poland.

Knowledge on the guideline-recommended use of antiplatelet and anticoagulant therapy during dental extractions: a contemporary survey among Polish dentists.

Background: The number of dental patients requiring periodic or lifelong antiplatelet or anticoagulanttherapy is constantly growing.

Aims: We aimed to determine the level of knowledge on antiplatelet and anticoagulant therapy among Polish dentists.

Methods: self‑designed online questionnaire was distributed among dentists to evaluate their knowledge on the use of antiplatelet and anticoagulant drugs in clinical dental practice.

Cerebral palsy and obstetric-neonatological interventions.

Cerebral palsy is a disease that puts a great mental burden on caregivers and generates very high social costs. Children with CP require many years of rehabilitation and medical care. The etiology of the disease is undoubtedly multifactorial, and the pathogenesis is associated with focal damage to the central nervous system.
