Unlabelled: Sexual health problems of stabilization missions soldiers, contrary to other specific populations, have not been fully studied. However, effects of being in a war zone have been thoroughly investigated. Modern warfare soldier experiences stress related not only to life and health threat but also to separation from loved ones. Anxiety and depression as adaptive disorders, rarer posttraumatic disorder were diagnosed in participants of stabilization missions. These disorders as well as not diagnosed dysfunctions may have impact on sexual health.
The Aim Of Study: To assess the selected psychosocial factors on sexuality of veterans of Polish Military Contingent (PMC) in Afghanistan.
Material And Methods: The study was carried out on 68 soldiers, participants of stabilization mission in Afghanistan. The following diagnostic tools were used: sexual history related to military service specificity was taken, IIEF questionnaire, Mell-Krat Scale for Men, scale of sexual pathology in men, questionnaire: 'Self-esteem on relationship with a partner'.
Results: According to the investigated individuals, taking part in a military mission did not increase present or trigger new problems in sex life. The examined soldiers were satisfied with their sexual activity, assessed themselves as good lovers and claimed to be perceived so by their partners.
Conclusions: The results of the study show that taking part in Polish Military Contingent seems to have had no negative effect on veterans sex life. Majority of the investigated veterans assessed well the relationship with a wife/partner as well as satisfaction from sexual activity and were aware of being well assessed by a wife/partner with reference to sexual activity.

Background: The relationship between early age at menarche (AAM) and body height (HT), including its different segments has not been extensively studied among non Western populations. Lengths of the lower (distal) part of the leg, such as knee HT (KH) and tibial length (TbL), are considered to be sensitive indicators of living conditions during early growth and development. Life history theory predicts that within a survival challenge the growth of vital parts of the body shall be prioritized over less essential parts.

Surface relief grating formation in photo-responsive azo polymers under irradiation is a long-ago-found phenomenon, but all the factors governing its efficiency are still not fully recognized. Here, we report on the enormous impact of the polymer thickness on the possibility of fabrication of extremely high-amplitude surface deformations. We performed prolonged holographic recordings on the layers of the same azobenzene poly(ether imide), which had substantially different optical transmittances at the recording wavelength and revealed that the depths of the inscribed relief structures increased with the polymer thickness from a nondetectable value up to almost 2 µm, unaffected by the presence of a polymer-glass substrate interface in either sample.

Background: Meta-analyses show that 43-79% of international travellers develop a travel-related health problems during or after journey. The aim of the present research was to analyse travel-related morbidity in travellers hospitalized at the University Centre of Maritime and Tropical Medicine in Gdynia, Poland.
Material And Methods: This retrospective study was based on the analysis of medical records of 159 Polish patients hospitalized at the Department of Tropical and Parasitic Diseases between January and December 2023.

The treatment of multiple sclerosis (MS) has undergone significant changes since the first disease-modifying therapy (DMT) drug was introduced. Currently, 19 original DMT drugs are registered in the European Union. The choice of optimal therapy is becoming increasingly challenging in the absence of reliable biomarkers on the basis of which disease progression and prognosis can be determined.
