We examined changes in disease patterns over time by analyzing the annual trends and age-specific prevalence of bacterial STIs such as chlamydia, mycoplasma, gonorrhea, and syphilis; viral STIs such as genital herpes, human papillomavirus (HPV), and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV); and other infections including scabies, pubic lice, and trichomoniasis. <b>Results</b>: In 2010, the STI with the highest prevalence due to an infectious pathogen was trichomoniasis (256.65/100,000), while latent syphilis had the lowest prevalence (5.29/100,000).

Prematurity and low birth weight affect about 13.4 million infants. Risk factors include placental disorders but also factors related to the mother, such as smoking, alcohol drinking, drug use, malnutrition, or certain diseases. It is imperative to educate women of reproductive age (15-49) about the basic factors influencing embryonic development, such as oral health, diet, medicine intake, and harmful habits. Even though most women are aware of the negative impact of harmful habits on the fetus, still too little attention is paid to oral health in pregnant women. Poor oral health may influence the well-being of the future mother, as well as of the child. Therefore, women of reproductive age and those who are pregnant must have adequate knowledge on this subject. The aim of this study was to assess the knowledge of Polish women of reproductive age (15-49) regarding oral health during pregnancy, including the impact of dental treatment, oral hygiene, and maternal oral conditions on pregnancy outcomes and the health of the newborn. &lt;b&gt;Materials and Methods&lt;/b&gt;: This was a cross-sectional study of 508 women, in the reproductive age, whose age ranged from 18 to 49 years old. The surveys were conducted from April 2020 to November 2020. The questionnaire was originally developed based on the available literature and consisted of seven sections: basic information, general health and habits, pregnancy status and dental care, knowledge of treatment options during pregnancy, oral health status and its association with the risk of preterm birth, prematurity and the child's oral health, and breastfeeding and oral development. &lt;b&gt;Results&lt;/b&gt;: After excluding incomplete questionnaires, a total of 499 questionnaires were included in the analysis. Women participating in the study had a fairly good understanding of the impact of oral health on the fetus and the role of breastfeeding in the development of the stomatognathic system (from 50% to 70% correct answers). However, even though most respondents had completed higher education (344/68.94%), their knowledge of oral health, preterm birth, and low birth weight was very limited (including the impact of inflammation on the intrauterine development of the child or bacteria and transfer across the placenta). In these sections, the percentage of correct answers ranged from less than 20% to 50%. When analyzing knowledge by age, education, number of births, and place of residence, the highest levels of knowledge were observed among respondents with higher education, particularly those aged 27-32. &lt;b&gt;Conclusions&lt;/b&gt;: Respondents had a fairly good understanding of the general impact of oral health during pregnancy and recognition of the importance of breastfeeding for infants.

Despite the expanding landscape of immunotherapy in oncology, progress in managing metastatic uveal melanoma (mUM) remains limited, and no universally accepted standard of care has been established. In this review, we examine the current state and evolving strategies in immunotherapy for mUM, focusing on immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs), T cell receptor (TCR)-engineered therapies, and tumor-targeted vaccines. We also present a meta-analytical comparison of clinical outcomes between ICI monotherapy and combination regimens, alongside the recently FDA-approved T cell engager tebentafusp. Our analysis indicates that the triple combination of Ipilimumab, anti-PD-1 agents, and tebentafusp significantly enhances objective response rates, disease control rates, 1-year overall survival rates, and median overall survival (mOS) compared to ICI monotherapy alone. However, this enhanced efficacy is accompanied by increased toxicity due to broader immune activation. In contrast, tebentafusp offers superior tumor specificity and a more favorable safety profile in HLA-A*02:01-positive patients, positioning it as a preferred therapeutic option for this genetically defined subset of UM. Additionally, early-phase studies involving dendritic cell-based immunotherapies and peptide vaccines has shown encouraging signs of tumor-specific immune activation, along with improved tolerability.
