Introduction: Pharmacists are essential healthcare professionals which play a pivotal role in public health protection by offering diverse pharmacy services. This includes not only serving individuals in Ukraine but also addressing the needs of Ukrainian citizens residing in Poland. An exemplary initiative is the creation of the website , which provides organized and systematic support.
Aim: This study aims to evaluate the perceptions of Ukrainian immigrant patients from Ukraine regarding the advanced pharmaceutical consultation service provided by Polish pharmacists.
Material And Methods: This study included 250 respondents from Ukraine. The study was conducted in 2022 using an anonymous survey. The survey was distributed after pharmaceutical consultations in one of the cities near the Polish-Ukrainian border. As part of the project, Ukrainian patients who had run out of medicines due to war brought their medications to pharmacy counselling points organized by Polish pharmacists, and the pharmacists helped them find equivalents ias well as help treated minor ailments in Poland.
Results: Practically all respondents strongly agree with all the statements posed in the survey, the percentage of such responses was close to 95%, with the lowest percentage observed for the statement "If possible, I would like this kind of service to be offered in any Polish pharmacy", which was 90.40%.
Conclusion: Ukrainian patients highly appreciated the pharmaceutical consultation services provided by Polish pharmacists. The information given by pharmacists was clear and practical, and the services were deemed highly supportive. Expanding such initiatives to other assistance points could enhance the support network for displaced individuals.

Introduction: Older adults represent a growing proportion of the general population. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) constitute a group of medicines that are both necessary, owing to their anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and cardioprotective abilities, and potentially harmful, owing to their side effects.
Objectives: This study provides a comprehensive analysis of NSAID usage patterns among Polish adults aged 60 years and older.

Understanding the molecular mechanisms that confer cold resistance in mammalian cells might be relevant for advancing medical applications. This study aimed to exploit the protective function of Late Embryogenesis Abundant (LEA) proteins, known to provide resistance to low temperatures in extremophiles and plants, by their exogenous expression in mammalian cells, and compare their effects with the well characterized antioxidant, vitamin E.Remarkably, the expression of LEA proteins in mammalian cells exerted cold-protective effect similar to Vitamin E.

Seismic profiling in a coal seam enables the determination of anomalous changes in the P-wave velocity compared to reference velocity at a specific mining depth, indicating potential stress changes. This information can improve the coal exploitation processes in advance at greater depths, especially in seismic hazard areas. This study aims to update the empirical mathematical formula for calculating reference P-wave velocities in coal seams by including new data measured at greater depths.

The coronavirus HCoV-OC43 circulates continuously in the human population and is a frequent cause of the common cold. Here, we generated a high-resolution atlas of the transcriptional and translational landscape of OC43 during a time course following infection of human lung fibroblasts. Using ribosome profiling, we quantified the relative expression of the canonical open reading frames (ORFs) and identified previously unannotated ORFs.

INTERSOS HELLAS, Thessaloniki, Greece.
Background: The Russian military invasion of Ukraine has sparked Europe's largest forced displacement since World War II, bringing about significant health vulnerabilities for migrants and refugees. European health information systems lack comprehensive data coverage, especially in underrepresented migration stages like transit. This study aims to address this gap by analyzing data from INTERSOS clinics at the Moldovan and Polish borders with Ukraine to identify the common health conditions prompting people to seek healthcare services during transit.
