Introduction: The aim of the study is to evaluate the number of years of life lost in inhabitants of Poland due to bladder cancer (BC), identify trends of the mortality and calculate the pace of change which has happened over the period of the first fifteen years of the 21 century.
Material And Methods: The study material was a database including 44,283 death certificates of Polish inhabitants who died due to bladder cancer in the period 2000-2014. The number of years of life lost were calculated using the SEYLL indices: SEYLLp (Standard Expected Years of Life Lost per living person) and SEYLLd (Standard Expected Years of Life Lost per death).
Results: The crude death rates (CDR) index increased from 10.79 per 100,000 males in 2000 to 14.30 in 2014 (Annual Percentage Change [APC] = 2.1%, p <0.05). In women, the group value of the CDR index increased from 2.50 in 2000 to 3.83 in 2014 (APC = 2.9%, p <0.05). The standardized death rates (SDR) index fell from 23.27 in 2000 to 22.48 in 2014 (APC = -0.1%, p >0.05) in men, but rose from 3.54 in 2000 to 3.83 in 2014 (APC = 0.4%, p <0.05) in women.The SEYLLp index (per 100,000 population) due to bladder cancer in Poland increased from 202.9 in 2000 to 243.4 in 2014 (APC = 1.3%, p <0.05) in men, and from 40.4 in 2000 to 60.1 in 2014 (APC = 2.7%, p <0.05) in women.
Conclusions: Despite the prolongation of patient life, as shown by the SEYLLd factor, Polish patients still lose too many years of life due to BC than compared to United States patients.

Introduction: The sense of smell is one of the most developed and important senses that forms the bond between the newborn and the mother and allows the newborn to reach the mother's breast. The sense of smell begins to form during intrauterine life, and the sense of smell can be a marking tool for a newborn baby, so that the baby can recognize both his mother and his immediate environment and develop his behaviour accordingly. This is necessary not only for feeding babies but also for them to feel safe and peaceful in their new environment.

Voluntary medical male circumcision (VMMC) was identified as an effective strategy in HIV prevention. Although circumcision reduces heterosexual acquisition of HIV by 60%, there is low uptake of VMMC services in Eswatini. This study applies the health belief model (HBM) in understanding perceptions of young men in Eswatini towards VMMC for HIV prevention to upscale its adoption.

Osteoarthritis (OA) is a complex disease of cartilage characterised by joint pain, functional limitation, and reduced quality of life with affected joint movement leading to pain and limited mobility. Current methods to diagnose OA are predominantly limited to X-ray, MRI and invasive joint fluid analysis, all of which lack chemical or molecular specificity and are limited to detection of the disease at later stages. A rapid minimally invasive and non-destructive approach to disease diagnosis is a critical unmet need.

Background: Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a common neuro-developmental disorder that often persists into adulthood. Moreover, it is frequently accompanied by bipolar disorder (BD) as well as borderline personality disorder (BPD). It is unclear whether these disorders share underlying pathomechanisms, given that all three are characterized by alterations in affective states, either long or short-term.

Axial spondyloarthritis (ax-SpA) causes pain, fatigue, stiffness, loss of physical function, and poor health status, which can influence sexual activity and enjoyment. To explore whether patients with ax-SpA perceive that their health status effects their sexual activity and to identify predictors of these perceived effects on sexual activity after a 5-year follow-up. Data about demographics, disease, medication, health-related quality of life (HRQOL), and sexual quality of life (SQOL) were collected at the baseline and 5-year follow-up.
