Therefore, the aim of this study is assessment of usefulness of posturography as primary test for balance disorders in occupational medicine.\u0000\u0000\u0000MATERIAL AND METHODS\u0000The study is cross-sectional, analyzing anonymous results of 1030 patients reporting dizziness and balance disorders. Based on symptoms, clinical examination and videonystagmography patients were classified into subgroups: benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV [N = 130]), non compensated (NS [N = 82]) and compensated (S [N = 174]) peripheral vestibular, bilateral vestibular (BV [N = 63]), Ménière's disease (MD [N = 53]), central dizziness (central [N = 293]), migraine (migr. [N = 132]), psychogenic dizziness (psychog. [N = 232]), Persistent postural-perceptual dizziness (PPPD [N = 150]). Besides, 129 healthy people were included in the study.\u0000\u0000\u0000RESULTS\u0000Ninety nine percent of abnormal static posturography (SP) and 94% of abnormal dynamic posturography (PD) results were found in diseased patients. Normal results were found both in healthy group (59% PS, 67% PD) and in diseased group (24% PS, 31% PD). Static posturography's abnormal results were more frequent in NS, BV and PPPD patients. In PD the differences were visible in the central, psychog. and PPPD subgroups. In NS subgroup the high negative predictive values of static and dynamic tests (82-87%) were calculated in relation to caloric test.\u0000\u0000\u0000CONCLUSIONS\u0000Static tests are the basic test used in examinations of employees for occupational medicine purposes. Posturography is a quantitative record of sways in relation to normative values. Abnormal posturography results most likely indicate the presence of pathologies of the balance system, including psychofunctional disorders. Normal posturography results do not indicate the lack of pathology of balance system what should be included in the work ability assessment.

The high number of infections among the inhabitants of the region increases the already high risk of infection of SARS-CoV-2 virus of medical workers who, due to their work, are more likely to be exposed to people with SARS-CoV-2 than people from the general population. The aim of this study is to assess the prevalence of SARS-CoV-2 infection among healthcare workers in the Upper Silesia Metropolitan Area based on the results of a seroepidemiological study.\u0000\u0000\u0000MATERIAL AND METHODS\u0000The seroepidemiological study was carried out in October- November 2020 among the inhabitants of the Upper Silesia Metropolitan Area (including medical professionals who were selected, creating a research group of healthcare workers). Apart from the questionnaire examination necessary to determine the declared symptoms, circumstances and risk factors conducive to infection, the level of specific antibodies against the SARS-CoV-2 virus in the IgG and IgM class was assessed.\u0000\u0000\u0000RESULTS\u0000In the study participated 575 people declaring their medical profession. A positive test for the presence of IgG antibodies was confirmed in 19.1% of the respondents, while a positive test for IgM concerned 4.3% of the subjects.

Resorcinol is a harmful, irritant, methemoglobin-forming and hemolytic substance. It can cause kidney and liver damage. The aim of the study was to develop a method for the determination of resorcinol in the workplace air, which would enable the determination of its concentrations in the range 0.1-2 of the MAC (maximum allowable concentration) value.\u0000\u0000\u0000MATERIAL AND METHODS\u0000The method relies on passing the test air containing resorcinol through a cellulose filter, extraction with aqueous methanol solution and chromatographic analysis of the obtained solution. The tests were performed using a liquid chromatograph (HPLC) 1200 series of Agilent Technologies with a diode array detector (DAD). The determinations were carried out using an Allure Basix column (250 × 4.6 mm, 5 μm granulation). The procedure was validated according to European Standard PN-EN 482.\u0000\u0000\u0000RESULTS\u0000The developed method allows the determination of resorcinol in the workplace air in the concentration range of 4.5-90 mg/m3. The limit of detection is 0.087 μg/ml, the precision 5.16% and the relative expanded uncertainty 22.6%. The method described enables selective determination of resorcinol in workplace air in the presence of 1,2-dihydroxybenzene, 1,4-dihydroxybenzene, benzene and phenol.\u0000\u0000\u0000CONCLUSIONS\u0000The method is characterized by good precision and accuracy; it meets the requirements of the European Standard PN-EN 482, and can be used by occupational hygiene laboratories to measure concentrations of resorcinol in workplace air to assess workers' exposure to this substance.

The recruitment took place in December 1-23, 2020, all HCW at selected hospitals could volunteer into the study. All persons were screened with rapid SARS-CoV-2 IgM/IgG tests in capillary blood. In case of positive result, 5 ml of venous blood was drawn for confirmatory testing with ELISA assay.

The prevalence of anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibodies was the highest among respondents who declared home contact with a confirmed COVID-19 case, 43.9% (95% CI: 32.4-56.1).

Androgen receptor (AR) may be a putative explanation for gender differences. It may also be related to unfavourable BCa progression and development because of the increased androgen sensitivity of urothelium to carcinogens. Moreover, cigarette smoking and occupational exposure to carcinogens have been reported to play contributory roles with the highest attributable risk of BCa. In this review, the authors attempt to summarize the seminal research works that synthesized current understanding of the central role of AR in the negative regulation of carcinogen detoxification activity in BCa. In particular, the authors discuss the regulatory effects of 3,3'-diindolylmethane on AR gene transcription through microRNA as its suggested effect on the prevention of BCa. Moreover, to show the still existing problem of occupational exposure and BCa incidence, the authors review recent studies in this area. Based on the rapidly accumulating scientific evidence, it seems pragmatic that androgen/AR-mediated interference in the detoxification mechanism may be inhibited by phytochemicals. Therefore, collectively, nutrition has a key role as gene-nutrient interactions are important contributors to BCa prevention, also through epigenetic modifications. Here, the authors have derived suggestions for future research.

Occupational activities which predispose to them are characterised by monotypy (repetition of movements during a significant part of the working shift). Authors described 4 cases of women with musculoskeletal and peripheral nervous system disorders qualified as occupational background just in the 2nd instance of medical certification. Detailed analysis of occupational exposure and medical interview with individual diagnostic approach allowed to determine the occupational etiology of diseases, regardless of non-occupational risk factors in some cases, even if the workstation was not common. Difficulties in estimating the probability of disease process induction on the background of occupational exposure are caused by frequent coexistence of non-occupational risk factors. The 2-tier system of certification provides an independent evaluation of medical history and occupational exposure.
