    Abstract: Depressive disorders are common among young people and can decrease social competences and thus the quality of life. There is a relationship between the occurrence of depressive disorders and insomnia. The aim of the study was to determine the prevalence of insomnia and depressive behavior and assess the relationship between these among participants of the Pol’and’Rock Festival, Kostrzyn, Poland 2019. The study used the Athens Insomnia Scale (AIS) and the Beck Inventory II Scale (BDI-II). The study group consisted of 923 people, with the majority of women (n = 500; 54.2%). A total of 297 persons (32.2%) reported varying severity of depressive symptoms. Insomnia was observed in 261 (28.28%) respondents. Sleeping disturbances were observed more frequently in females. Persons with insomnia had a significantly higher BDI-II score. A strong positive correlation (r = 0.65) between the number of points obtained on the Beck and AIS scales was observed. Insomnia and depressive behavior are prevalent in the Polish population. Due to long-term social and economic consequences, special attention should be paid to the prevention, early detection and treatment of both disorders.

    Abstract: Alterations of gut microbiota, intestinal barrier and the gut-brain axis may be involved in pathophysiology of functional gastrointestinal disorders. Our aim was to assess the prevalence of digestive tract symptoms and identify common variables potentially disrupting the gut-brain axis among participants of the Woodstock Festival Poland, 2017. In total 428 people filled in a questionnaire assessing health of their digestive tract. The investigator collected answers on an electronic device, while the study participant responded using a paper version of the same questionnaire. Liver and gallbladder related symptoms were the most prevalent among our study group (n = 266, 62%), however symptoms related to altered intestinal permeability were found to be the most intensive complaints. In females the intensity of gastrointestinal complaints was higher compared to men (p 〈 0.05), as well as the incidence of factors with the potential to alter gut-brain axis (p 〈 0.0001). Chronic psychological distress, intake of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and antibiotics, were the most common associations with gastrointestinal symptoms, which were the most prevalent in females. Further attention should be focused on stress as one of the main factors negatively influencing public health.

    Abstract: Background & Aims: Functional gastrointestinal disorders are prevalent worldwide and alterations of gutbrain axis and intestinal barrier integrity may play a pivotal role in both the pathophysiology and clinical course of these bowel malfunctions. We aimed to assess the prevalence of abdominal pain in a selected adult population of Poland to determine potential environmental factors associated with gastrointestinal complaints.Methods: There were 1479 individuals – 657 women (44.42%) and 822 men (55.58%), aged 24.20±6.08 years. The responders fulfilled an authors’ questionnaire based on Rome II and III criteria focused on the abdominal pain prevalence and environmental factors involved in its occurrence.Results: The frequency of abdominal pain was found to be as high as 19.2%. Male gender (n=822) and basic education level (n=151) lowered the risk of abdominal pain occurrence (OR=0.7, p 〈 0.012 and OR=0.5, p 〈 0.021, respectively). Psychological distress, proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) and antibiotics usage were found as risk factors of abdominal pain (OR=2.503, p 〈 0.01; OR=3.308, p 〈 0.01; OR=3.105, p 〈 0.01, respectively).Conclusions: Abdominal pain is prevalent in young adult inhabitants of Poland, especially in women. Intense psychological stress, as well as PPIs and antibiotics usage elevate the risk.

    Abstract: Background: Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a chronic functional gastrointestinal disorder (FGID), in which etiology and pathogenesis are not fully explored. There is an ongoing need for more population studies adhering to new ROME IV criteria. In the current study, which follows our previous investigation among participants of the Woodstock Rock Festival in Poland, we aimed to evaluate the prevalence of IBS and its relation to age, gender, education, and IBS type. Methods: Rome IV criteria questionnaire was used to assess abdominal complaints of 386 participants of the Woodstock Rock festival 2018. Results: Analyzed data revealed that Rome IV criteria were met by 42 participants (11.41%), 11 men and 31 women (p = 0.0028), with following types of IBS: IBS-M (mixed form) 55%, IBS-D (with diarrhea) 33%, IBS-U (unclassified) 10%, IBS-C (with constipation) 2%. No statistically significant correlation between IBS prevalence and age, gender, or education (p 〉 0.05) was found. Conclusions: The prevalence of IBS among major rock festival participants in Poland was high. Women met the criteria more often than men, which is consistent with global epidemiology for many years. Among participants of the Woodstock Rock Festival, the most frequent subtype was IBS-M, the rarest—IBS-C. There is a need of conducting cohort studies in bigger groups in our population.

    Abstract: In peritoneal dialysis, ultrafiltration is achieved by adding an osmotic agent into the dialysis fluid. During an exchange with icodextrin-based solution, polysaccharide chains are degraded by α-amylase activity in dialysate, influencing its osmotic properties. We modelled water and solute removal taking into account degradation by α-amylase and absorption of icodextrin from the peritoneal cavity. Data from 16 h dwells with icodextrin-based solution in 11 patients (3 icodextrin-exposed, 8 icodextrin-naïve at the start of the study) on dialysate volume, dialysate concentrations of glucose, urea, creatinine and α-amylase, and dialysate and blood concentrations of seven molecular weight fractions of icodextrin were analysed. The three-pore model was extended to describe hydrolysis of icodextrin by α-amylase. The extended model accurately predicted kinetics of ultrafiltration, small solutes and icodextrin fractions in dialysate, indicating differences in degradation kinetics between icodextrin-naïve and icodextrin-exposed patients. In addition, the model provided information on the patterns of icodextrin degradation caused by α-amylase. Modelling of icodextrin kinetics using an extended three-pore model that takes into account absorption of icodextrin and changes in α-amylase activity in the dialysate provided accurate description of peritoneal transport and information on patterns of icodextrin hydrolysis during long icodextrin dwells.

    Abstract: Inadequate fluid and sodium removal has been shown to increase risk of overhydration and hypertension. In peritoneal dialysis, icodextrin-based solution provides sustained ultrafiltration, and therefore can be used for the long exchanges, especially in patients with fast solute transport rates in whom the effective ultrafiltration period is shortened. We investigated to which extent the efficiency of icodextrin in fluid and sodium removal is changing during 16-hour peritoneal dwells. Method Data on intraperitoneal volume, and concentrations of icodextrin and sodium in dialysate during 16 hours of peritoneal dwells with icodextrin-based solution were analysed in 11 clinically stable patients. Labeled serum albumin (RISA) was used as a volume marker and dialysate samples of 12 mL were collected at 8, 12, and 16 hours of peritoneal dwell. Residual volume was evaluated from marker dilution after 16 hours by rinsing peritoneal cavity with 2 L of fresh 1.36% glucose dialysis fluid. Ultrafiltration (UF) was calculated for each patient and each sampling time as the difference between drained and initially infused volume corrected for the sample volume. The total absorption of icodextrin-derived carbohydrates (AbsCHO) was calculated for each patient as the difference between initially infused and drained carbohydrates mass. The icodextrin ultrafiltration efficiency (UFE) was calculated for each sampling time as the ultrafiltration divided by the amount of icodextrin mass absorbed (AbsCHO). The efficiency of icodextrin in sodium removal (NaRE) was calculated for each sampling time as the sodium mass removed (difference between drained and initially infused sodium mass) divided by the corresponding icodextrin mass absorbed (AbsCHO). Correction for the residual volume and samples collections were applied for AbsCHO, UFE and NaRE calculations. Results After 16-hour dwell with icodextrin-based solution the ultrafiltration was positive in all except one patient, being on average (mean±SD) 669±369 mL. During the dwell, icodextrin was slowly absorbed from the peritoneal cavity, see Figure 1, left panel. At 16 hours, the mean cumulative CHO absorption (AbsCHO) reached 68.0±20.7 g (44±13% of initial CHO mass) while 56% of initial icodextrin mass infused still remained in dialysate, Figure 1, left panel. Icodextrin UF efficiency (UFE) calculated at 8, 12, and 16 hours remained stable (p = 0.6, ANOVA repeated measures) and was on average 9.9±5.8 mL/g, Figure 1, right panel. Moreover, icodextrin sodium removal efficiency (NaRE) also remained stable after 8 hours (p = 0.6, ANOVA repeated measures) and was on average 1.2±0.7 mmoL/g, Figure 1, right panel. Conclusion During 16 hours of peritoneal dialysis dwells with icodextrin-based solution, icodextrin was slowly absorbed with 56% of the osmotic agent remaining in the dialysate after 16 hours. The efficiency of icodextrin in terms of fluid (UFE) and sodium (NaRE) removal remained stable and did not subside from 8 to 16 hours of the dwell.

    Abstract: Background: Burned patients have an increased need for vitamin D supply related to the maintenance of calcium–phosphate homeostasis and the regulation of cell proliferation/differentiation. This study aimed to analyze the concentration of 25-hydroxycholecalciferol and its relationship with severe condition after burn injury. Methods: 126 patients were enrolled in the study. Patients were qualified due to thermal burns—over 10% of total body surface area. On the day of admission, the following parameters were assessed: 25-hydroxycholecalciferol concentration, total protein concentration, albumin concentration, aspartate transaminase activity, alanine transaminase activity, albumin concentration, creatinine concentration, c-reactive protein concentration, procalcitonin concentration, and interleukin-6 concentration. Results: Almost all patients (92%) in the study group had an improper level of vitamin D ( 〈 30 ng/mL), with the average of 11.6 ± 10.7 ng/mL; 17.5% of patients had levels of vitamin D below the limit of determination—under 3 ng/mL. The study showed that there are several factors which correlated with vitamin D concentration during the acute phase of burn injury, including: total protein (r = 0.42, p 〈 0.01), albumin, (r = 0.62, p 〈 0.01), percentage of body burns (r = 0.36, p 〈 0.05), aspartate aminotransferase (r = 0.21, p 〈 0.05), and c-reactive protein (r = 0.22, p 〈 0.05). We did not find any significant correlation between vitamin D concentration and body mass index. Conclusions: The burn injury has an enormous impact on the metabolism and the risk factors of the deficiency for the general population (BMI) have an effect on burned patients. Our study showed that concentration of 25-hydroxycholecalciferol is strongly correlated with serum albumin level, even more than total burn surface area and burn degrees as expected. We suspect that increased supplementation of vitamin D should be based on albumin level and last until albumin levels are balanced.

    Abstract: One of the most significant managerial functions is motivating which leads to the implementation of the particular organizational objectives, to shaping of engagement and loyalty of its members and, consequently, to the raising effectiveness of their actions. The properly constructed solutions in the area of employee motivating process may result in the several benefits for the organization, which is true also for the public institutions including the academic ones. The aim of the herein study was the identification of the factors which have an impact on the motivation of employees of the higher education institution. The research was conducted with the questionnaire survey among the non-academic employees of the University of Warmia and Mazury in Olsztyn, Poland. The conducted survey concludes that the motivation of employees is affected by various factors, mostly concerning the remuneration for work and also with the self-development possibilitities, interpersonal relations, and effective communication. It is vital and worth to use the knowledge about them for improving the quality and efficiency of the organization.
