Unlabelled: Face proportions are under constant evaluation during prosthetic or surgical diagnostics and treatment. The aim was to evaluate the proportions of the faces of young Polish women as compared with other ethnic groups.
Materials And Methods: The evaluation included 60 photographs of the faces of women, average age 17.9 years. En face images were made with the camera lens situated at the same distance from the photographed subjects. Using Adobe Photoshop software, midsaggital and even anthropometric points were determined in the photographs and then the distance between these points was measured. Four relationships between vertical measurements, 3 between horizontal measurements, and 4 proportions between vertical and horizontal measurements were calculated. The results were evaluated in comparison with the golden ratio (1.618) and the measurements performed for native Americans and Latin American beauty contests winners described in the relevant literature.
Results: The result for the average vertical face proportion value of the examined women was close to the golden ratio (GR) and amounted to 1.592 for the proportions between nasion-stomion and stomion-gnation (98% of GR) and 1.372 for nasion-subnasale and subnasale-gnation (85% of GR).Average measurement results for young Polish women's faces were not statistically significantly different for 6 out of 11 relationships under evaluation as compared with the population of native American females and only 2 face proportions were the same as for beauty contests winners from Latin America.
Conclusion: Face proportions of young Polish women were different from those of the females living in the American continent.

Objectives: A better understanding of the conditions leading to overweight and obesity is fundamental due to the ever-increasing phenomenon of excess body weight. This study aimed to determine how the occurrence of restrained eating in young adulthood, food-restricted types, and food experiences related to food restrictions originating in childhood correlate with excessive body weight among young adults.
Methods: The data were collected in Poland in 2020-2021 using a Computer-Assisted Web Interview technique as a cross-sectional study among 358 young adults.

Background/objectives: Crohn's disease is known for being associated with an abnormal composition of the bacterial flora, dysbiosis and intestinal function disorders. Metabolites produced by gut microbiota play a pivotal role in the pathogenesis of CD, and the presence of unspecific extraintestinal manifestations.
Methods: The aim of this study was a determination of the level of bacterial metabolites in blood plasma in patients with Crohn's disease.

The mechanisms linking eating attitudes to well-being and physical activity objectives have increasingly attracted the attention of researchers in recent years. This research is particularly significant in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, which has profoundly disrupted eating habits, exercise routines, and psychosocial well-being across the globe. Additionally, these variables are influenced by cultural dimensions, such as individualism in Poland and collectivism in China.

Objectives: We need to better understand how the menstrual cycle interacts with other biological systems, such the inflammation and immune response. One way to study this interaction is through C-reactive protein (CRP). Studies of CRP concentrations across the menstrual cycle have been inconsistent.

Background: Embryo implantation involves two key elements: a good quality embryo and receptive endometrium. Endometrial receptivity abnormalities are known as one of the possible causes of recurrent implantation failure (RIF), especially when the embryo is euploid. This study was aimed to evaluate the impact of age and other clinical factors on endometrial receptivity in women with RIF.
