Antioxidant Therapy in Inflammatory Bowel Diseases.

Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) are a group of chronic, incurable diseases of the digestive tract, the etiology of which remains unclear to this day. IBD result in significant repercussions on the quality of patients' life. There is a continuous increase in the incidence and prevalence of IBD worldwide, and it is becoming a significant public health burden.

Assessment of changes of skin moisture in patients subject to general anesthesia with neurological diseases in an interview.

Objective: Introduction: General anaesthesia is carried out using anaesthetic agents that among others depress the circulatory system and CNS. Central and peripheral thermoregulation occurs, which is due to mild hypothermia as well as changes in skin moisture. An important element of therapy in the perioperative period is adequate intravenous fluid therapy, which affects the final effects of treatment.

Massive peritoneal cavity calcification in the course of advanced ovarian cancer: a case report.

Ovarian cancer usually does not give any clinical signs until it reaches a large size. This condition is often associated with the occurrence of metastases within the peritoneal cavity, pelvic and abdominal cavities. Ovarian cancer can spread by intraperitoneal implantation, by way of the lymphatic system, and also through the systemic circulation.

[Calcium concentration in the skin of male rats exposed to high doses of ochratoxin A (OTA)].

Background: Ochratoxin A (OTA) is one of mycotoxines that most frequently creates occupational hazards. The aim of the study was to observe calcium concentration in the skin of test animals exposed to high doses of ochratoxin A (OTA).

Materials And Methods: Tests were carried out in two groups of male rats exposed to high doses of OTA (1 mg/kg(-1)) for 30 days.

The influence of zinc and copper supplementation in feed on the concentrations of certain metals in rats' skin.

Zinc and copper, administered to the organism in excess can also influence the concentrations of other elements, and have a secondary influence on the processes that these elements regulate. The purpose of this experiment was to determine the influence of zinc and copper dietary supplementation on the concentrations of magnesium, calcium, zinc and copper in the rat's skin. The results showed that zinc supplementation caused a decrease in calcium concentration as well as an increase in zinc concentration in the tested materials.
