In order to achieve good results with the corticosteroid-therapy in not spontaneously regredient sarcoidoses a longterm treatment (12-24 months) by considerable corticosteroid-doses proves to be necessary; thereby the problem of side-effects by steroids will arise, especially in young women frequently developing a Cushing-syndrome. By our endeavour to prevent this unpleasant phaenomenon we carried through an alternating attempt with two variant kinds of intermittent treatment. The first method relates to 4 successive days in the week (as it is proposed by P. Krakowka) and the second procedure relates to each 2nd day. The second treatment has proved to be the better one. Side-effects appeared in 31. 9 per cent in case of a daily treatment by steroids, in 27.3 per cent after the application of the method of 4 days a week, and in no one case after an application each second day. The results of the treatment by corticosteroids are equal in all the three groups.

Background: Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) affects 3.9% of the general population. While massed cognitive processing therapy (CPT) has demonstrated efficacy in treating chronic PTSD, a substantial proportion of patients still continue to meet PTSD criteria after treatment, highlighting the need for novel therapeutic approaches.

Food insecurity (FI), the lack of access to adequate food, is linked with negative health and psychological outcomes. FI is typically measured retrospectively over the last year; although this measurement is useful to understand FI prevalence to inform broad policy, it leaves the experience of FI in everyday life poorly understood. Understanding how FI varies across shorter periods of time (days or weeks) can help inform FI prevention and/or intervention.

Background and objective There is growing concern regarding metabolic and inflammatory disorders globally, underscoring the need for effective nonpharmacological interventions. Irisin, interleukin 6 (IL-6), tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), and leptin are biomarkers of metabolic and inflammatory health. In this study, we aimed to investigate the comparative effects of basil seed supplementation or endurance exercise on biomarkers of chronic oxidative stress.
