Materials and Methods: The research involved 5 groups of respondents: the 1st group – students who were involved in sports (28 boys, 34 girls), the 2nd group – students who were not engaged in sports (29 boys, 22 girls), the 3rd group – female adults (45-65-year-old; n = 16), who were not engaged in health improvement training, the 4th group – female adults (45-65-year-old; n = 13), who used biologically active additives, the 5th group – 45-65-year-old women (n = 27) and men (n = 18) who were engaged in health improvement training according to the system by P. K. Ivanov. Results: It was found that the physiological age of the 1st group was higher than the stated age; of the 2nd group corresponded to the stated age; of the 3rd group was exceeded the stated age by 6.9 years; of the 4th group was exceeded by 5.8 years; of the 5th group was lower than the stated age by 4.8 years for men and by 10.1 years for women. Conclusions: It is proved that tempering according to the system by P. K. Ivanov, which does not require any material costs, has a pronounced health effect on the body of people of different ages (especially mature and elderly).","PeriodicalId":42213,"journal":{"name":"Acta Balneologica","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"69729058","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Analysis of Decisions on Incapacity for Work Issued at the Polish Social Insurance Institution (ZUS) in Relation to Persons with Multiple Sclerosis Before and After the Introduction of Current Drug Treatment Programmes for Multiple Sclerosis in Poland","authors":"D. Lachman, Piotr Winciunas, J. Lorkowski, Piotr Kupidurski, Zuzanna Komosińska","doi":"10.36740/abal202204106","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.36740/abal202204106","url":null,"abstract":"Aim: The aim of the study was to analyse the decisions on incapacity for work issued at the Polish Social Insurance Institution (ZUS) in the years 2009-2011 and 2016-2018 in relation to people with MS, before and after the introduction of MS drug treatment programmes in Poland, which in connection with the application for rehabilitation or disability pension were examined by a ZUS certifying doctor or ZUS medical board. Materials and Methods: The analysis covered 100 cases, in which in the years 2009-2011 and 2016-2018, in connection with the application for a rehabilitation benefit or a disability pension, a ZUS certifying doctor or ZUS medical board issued a decision on incapacity for work in relation to the same person with the diagnosed SM. Statistical analysis was performed using IBM SPSS Statistics. Results: There were 20% less medical decisions confirming deterioration of health condition related to persons covered by drug programmes compared to the group of persons not participating in these programmes. The asymptotic (two-sided) significance of the cross-tabulation association measure was p = 0.053. In the case of an increase in the number of no-change-in-disability decisions in the group of people covered by the drug programme, the asymptotic (two-sided) significance of the cross-tabulation association measure was p = 0.087. Conclusions: 1. The introduction of immunological therapy that modifies the natural course of multiple sclerosis in patients under the MS drug treatment programmes has significantly reduced the development of their motor disability. 2. As a result, people who have become incapable of work due to this disease have maintained their job or have returned to work, which is particularly important for young patients who are likely to remain economically active for many years to come. 3. Such measures have a significant impact on reducing the number of benefits from the social insurance system.","PeriodicalId":42213,"journal":{"name":"Acta Balneologica","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"69729067","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Materials and Methods: 125 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus complicated by diabetic polyneuropathy were examined. The patients were divided into 2 groups: the 1st group included 61 patients who received standard treatment in outpatient settings, whereas 64 patients of the 2nd group, in addition to standard treatment, received hydrogen sulfide baths in sanatorium conditions. Quality of life was assessed using the EQ-5D-3L questionnaire before treatment, followed by subsequent assessments made 14 days, 3 and 6 months after the treatment, to assess the durability of the effect. Results: Positive changes in physical, psychological and social condition were noted in all studied patients, and the patients who took hydrogen sulfide baths managed to achieve statistically significant positive changes and maintain positive dynamics for 3 months. However, after 6 months, quality of life indicators began to decrease, which shows the need for a repeated course of balneotherapy to be taken no later than 6 months. Conclusions: The use of hydrogen sulfide baths in the complex treatment of diabetic polyneuropathy improves the quality of life of patients for up to 6 months.","PeriodicalId":42213,"journal":{"name":"Acta Balneologica","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"69728809","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Materials and Methods: The research focused on 143 patients with SHPT after PTSI who experienced chronic renal failure and were on programmed hemodialysis, the ASA risk III-IV. PTSI was performed under general anesthesia. After surgery, group I patients (n=71) received a “potassium-free” diet, programmed hemodialysis, calcium preparations, prophylactic doses of heparins, and symptomatic treatment. In group II (n=72), rehabilitation measures were supplemented with the administration of glucocorticoids with the control of blood cortisol and metabolism. Results: After PTSI, all patients felt general weakness, had a low level of ionized blood calcium, hemodynamic, oxygen and metabolism disorders, with more pronounced manifestations in group I. In group II, synchronously with the reduction of metabolic disorders, hemodynamics and oxygen level were restored to reference values, and hypocalcemia was quickly corrected with administering calcium (≥2g/day). Conclusions: The use of glucocorticoids accompanied with the control of blood cortisol levels and indirect calorimetry during the rehabilitation of patients with SHPT after PTSI accelerates the recovery of life support functions of patients and improves the results of their rehabilitation.","PeriodicalId":42213,"journal":{"name":"Acta Balneologica","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"69729718","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Materials and methods: We carried out an analysis of the treatment results of 346 patients with MAWD, who underwent surgery in the 1st Poltava City Hospital for the period 2005-2019. There were 269 women (77.8%), men – 77 (22.2%). 282 (81.5%) patients underwent reconstructive surgeries, 59 (17.1%) – reconstructive and corrective alloplasty techniques, and 5 (1.4%) – corrective ones. Patients underwent surgery: onlay – in 3 patients (0.9%), sublay – in 289 (83.5%), sublay-inlay – in 38 (11.0%), inlay – in 4 (1.2%), Ramirez modification – in 10 (2.9%), open IPOM – in 2 (0.6%).
