Introduction: The demographics of men undergoing vasectomy in Poland has not been thoroughly evaluated. The objective of the study is to characterise patients who underwent vasectomy in 2019-2020 in terms of their motivation, the level of acceptance of the method, their social and health status and the way religion influenced their choice.
Material And Methods: This is a prospective observational study based on a survey taken before vasectomy.
Introduction: The aim of this study was to determine and quantify the mechanisms responsible for the delays in bladder cancer diagnosis and initial treatment.
Material And Methods: Patients referred to two academic hospitals in Poland with a primary bladder tumor were prospectively identified and structurally interviewed. For all patients, time intervals between symptom onset, diagnostic and therapeutic interventions were assessed.
Article Synopsis
- European air quality policies help reduce carbon monoxide (CO) levels, but certain areas still experience high CO exposure from traffic, industry, and poor-quality fossil fuel burning.
- A study with 939 healthy adults in Poland showed that those in high-pollution areas had significantly higher exhaled CO levels, regardless of their smoking status, with smokers exhaling more CO than non-smokers.
- While exhaled CO is useful for determining smoking habits, high environmental CO can complicate the distinction between non-smokers and passive smokers, especially in polluted areas, highlighting the need to consider environmental factors in smoking status assessments.
Background: The poor air quality and cigarette smoking are the most important reasons for increased carbon monoxide (CO) level in exhaled air. However, the influence of high air pollution concentration in big cities on the exhaled CO level has not been well studied yet.
Objectives: To evaluate the impact of smoking habit and air pollution in the place of living on the level of CO in exhaled air.
