In this work the expert's status from the point of view of law, psychiatry, psychology, as well as his social, economical and financial position was discussed. The need of improvement of the expert's part in the lawsuit, and legal protection of his person were shown. The dissimilarity of the relation: the physician--the patient and the expert--the person under examination was discussed. The range of code idea "special knowledge" which, in the author's opinion, includes knowledge and clinical trial of psychiatrist, the know-how of the specificity of prison subculture, the possession of methods and conditions for investigation and competence to pronounce forensic and psychiatric opinion, were analysed. Conditioning of the expert's social position in Poland in comparison with experts from other countries and up-to-date state as well as the needs in the range of getting adequate salary for his work were described. In the author's opinion, the conditioning of the expert's status in Poland shown in this work, may influence the essential level of the expert's opinion. Therefore, the author suggests the following traits to be used in evaluation of experts and their work: competent-incompetent; complementary to knowledge-uncomplementary; critical towards opinion-of little criticism; diagnostically thoughtful-of little thoughtfulness; unemotional in his opinion (the person under examination)-emotional ("the opinions of the heart") and so on. The proposed rating scale may be used among other things for instruction of forensic experts.

Importance: Endocrine treatments, such as Tamoxifen (TAM) and/or Aromatase inhibitors (AI), are the adjuvant therapy of choice for hormone-receptor positive breast cancer. These agents are associated with menopausal symptoms, adversely affecting drug compliance. Topical estrogen (TE) has been proposed for symptom management, given its' local application and presumed reduced bioavailability, however its oncological safety remains uncertain.

This empirical study assessed the potential of developing a machine-learning model to identify children and adolescents with poor oral health using only self-reported survey data. Such a model could enable scalable and cost-effective screening and targeted interventions, optimizing limited resources to improve oral health outcomes. To train and test the model, we used data from 2,133 students attending schools in a Portuguese municipality.

Alzheimer's disease (AD) represents a significant global health issue, affecting over 55 million individuals worldwide, with a progressive impact on cognitive and functional abilities. Early detection, particularly of mild cognitive impairment (MCI) as an indicator of potential AD onset, is crucial yet challenging, given the limitations of current diagnostic biomarkers and the need for non-invasive, accessible tools. This study aims to address these gaps by exploring driving performance as a novel, non-invasive biomarker for MCI detection.

Introduction: Abortion and euthanasia are still one of the greatest bioethical challenges. Previous studies have shown that there are differences in attitudes towards these issues depending on socio-demographic characteristics and socio-cultural environment (country of residence). As part of the scientific research project EuroBioMed, we compared the attitudes of students from three Mediterranean countries towards abortion and euthanasia and examined them from the perspective of Mediterranean bioethics.
