Analysis of Parents' Attitudes and Knowledge toward Immunization and How These Factors Influence Their Decisions to Vaccinate Their Children against Human Papilloma Virus (HPV).

: Vaccination hesitancy is a growing problem associated with decreasing chances for the elimination of vaccine-preventable diseases through immunization. This research was conducted to learn about parents' attitudes toward vaccination, particularly against HPV, in the context of their beliefs and fears regarding immunization and the impact of these views on their children's vaccination decisions. An additional goal was to determine what views or convictions most often lead to the phenomenon of delaying or refusing vaccinations, especially HPV vaccines, in the surveyed community.

Patients with Cardiovascular Implantable Electronic Devices in the Era of COVID-19 and Their Response to Telemedical Solutions.

The COVID-19 pandemic has transformed the healthcare system, leading to the rapid implementation of telemedical solutions, especially in cardiology. The aim of this survey was to evaluate the patients (pts) with cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIED) perspectives on the telemedicine elements such as teleconsultation, telemonitoring, and e-prescription. An anonymous questionnaire was created and delivered to CIED pts who came to the ambulatory outpatient clinic.

Long-Term Outpatient Care and Rehospitalizations in Patients after Cardiac Electrotherapy Device Implantation.

: Cardiovascular implantable electronic device (CIED) treatment is widely used in modern cardiology. Indications for this type of treatment are increasing. However, a significant proportion of CIED implantation patients require subsequent hospitalization for cardiovascular reasons.

Long-Term, Single-Centre Observation of Patients with Cardiac Implantable Electronic Devices.

: Electrotherapy is a valuable treatment method for patients with heart rhythm disturbances. There are very few observations of long-term patients treated with these techniques. There is a particular lack of this type of study conducted in Eastern European countries.

Clinical Characteristics, Treatment, and Short-Term Outcome in Patients with Heart Failure and Cancer.

(1) Our study aimed to look at the clinical characteristics, treatment and short-term outcomes of patients hospitalized due to heart failure with coexisting cancer. (2) Methods: Seventy one cancer (Ca) patients and a randomly selected 70 patients without Ca, hospitalized due to heart failure exacerbation in the same time period constituted the study group (Ca patient group) and controls (non-Ca group), respectively. Data on clinical characteristics were collected retrospectively for both groups.

[Congenital disorders of the cardiovascular system and their complications in a 21-year-old woman with Turner syndrome--a case report].

A 21-year-old woman with Turner syndrome was admitted to hospital because of progressive heart failure. Echocardiography revealed a bicuspid aortic valve with one cusp ruptured due to infective endocarditis and anomalous pulmonary venous drainage. The patient underwent successful aortic valve replacement.
