A total of 150 children with influenza-like symptoms (ILI): cough, fever >37.8 °C, and sore throat was included into the observation. All children were tested with both rapid influenza detection test (RIDT) BD Directigen™ EZ Flu A+B® and RT-PCR. Sixty four cases of influenza were diagnosed (incidence rate 40 %): 19 (30 %) cases of influenza caused by type B virus and 45 (70 %) cases caused by type A virus. Children with influenza required more often follow up visits (p < 0.05, OR 1.99, 95 % CI 1.03-3.85) and less often were administrated antibiotic therapy (p < 0.05, OR 0.25, 95 % CI 0.04-0.97). The logistic regression analysis revealed that only positive result of rapid influenza detection test, not any of clinical symptoms, could be found as an independent predictor of influenza (OR 4.37, 95 % CI 2.03-9.43). Patients with influenza type A more often reported muscle ache (p < 0.05) and complications (p < 0.05; OR 6.06, 95 % CI 1.20-60.38). Otitis media occurred more often among patients with than without influenza (p < 0.01; OR 15.50, 95 % CI 2.10-688.5). We conclude that although influenza infections among children younger than 59 months were generally mild and self-limited, pediatric burden of the disease was significant.

Paired nasopharyngeal swab (NPS) and saliva samples collected between 2016 and 2020 from n = 394 children were tested with conventional culture and using qPCR. The carriage rate detected by culture was 25.4% (97 of 394), by qPCR 39.1% (155 of 394), and 40.1% (158 of 394) overall. The risk of carriage was significantly elevated among day care center attendees, and during autumn/winter months. Among isolates cultured, the most common serotypes were: 23A, 6B, 15BC, 10A, 11A. The coverage of PCV10 and PCV13 was 23.2% (23 of 99) and 26.3% (26 of 99), respectively. Application of qPCR lead to detection of 168 serotype carriage events, with serogroups 15, 6, 9 and serotype 23A most commonly detected. Although the highest number of carriers was identified by testing NPS with ...

However, there are still gaps in knowledge about the mechanisms which lead to alcohol overuse and related sexual violence occurring under the influence of alcohol among this group of perpetrators. Goal: The goal of this paper is to describe characteristics of perpetrators of sexual offences with regards to their self-declared alcohol use status: “overusing” – declaring overusing alcohol, “not-overusing” – declaring not overusing alcohol, and “abstaining” – declaring abstinence from alcohol. Material and Methods: Material for this study consisted of 180 individual forensic psychiatric reports issued by the experts from the Mental Health Clinic at the 10th Military Clinical Hospital in Bydgoszcz. The reports were reviewed by the study authors. Relevant data from was extracted using the survey tool developed for the purpose of this study: “Survey of Factors Determining Sexual Criminal Beha...

W związku z coraz powszechniejszymi migracjami ludności afrykanskiej i azjatyckiej do Europy, zabieg obrzezania oraz ryzyko powiklan, powinny byc znane personelowi medycznemu na poziomie lecznictwa ambulatoryjnego i szpitalnego. Obrzezanie mezczyzn jest zabiegiem wykonywanym u 30% populacji meskiej na calym świecie. Opublikowanie badan wskazujących na skutecznośc tego zabiegu w zmniejszeniu czestości zakazen HIV bylo podstawą do wprowadzenia w 2010 roku akcji dobrowolnego obrzezania mezczyzn (VMMC) w krajach o najwiekszej prewalencji HIV/AIDS. Badania te oraz sama akcja są obecnie przedmiotem ozywionej dyskusji. Obrzezanie mezczyzn zmniejsza ryzyko zakazenia chorobami przenoszonymi drogą plciową oraz czestośc wystepowania raka prącia. Zabieg moze jednak prowadzic do licznych powiklan zdrowotnych, zwlaszcza w przypadku braku zachowania standardow higienicznych. Obrzezanie kobiet, od lat 7...
