Long-term outcomes in men and women with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction and incomplete reperfusion after a primary percutaneous coronary …
2019
Background The failure of reperfusion therapy in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) is more frequent than considered previously. Aim To evaluate sex-related differences in long-term outcomes in patients with STEMI and incomplete infarct-related artery reperfusion after a primary percutaneous coronary intervention. Patients and methods Of consecutive 42 752 patients with STEMI hospitalized between 2009 and 2011 in Poland, we analyzed a group of 766 (35%) women and 1453 (65%) men with less than thrombolysis in myocardial infarction (TIMI) flow grade 3 following a primary percutaneous coronary intervention. Results In the 2-year follow-up, the mortality rate among…
The Polish School of Argumentation: A Manifesto
2014
Building on our diverse research traditions in the study of reasoning, language and communication, the Polish School of Argumentation integrates various disciplines and institutions across Poland in which scholars are dedicated to understanding the phenomenon of the force of argument. Our primary goal is to craft a methodological programme and establish organisational infrastructure: this is the first key step in facilitating and fostering our research movement, which joins people with a common research focus, complementary skills and an enthusiasm to work together. This statement—the Manifesto—lays the foundations for the research programme of the Polish School of Argumentation.
Zbiorowiska z klasy Utricularietea intermedio-minoris DEN HARTOG et SEGAL 1964 em. PIETSCH 1965 w Słowińskim Parku Narodowym
2017
Zbiorowiska z klasy Utricularietea intermedio-minoris DEN HARTOG et SEGAL 1964 em. PIETSCH 1965 należą do wyspecjalizowanych pod względem ekologicznym fitocenoz, występujących w wodach oligotroficznych oraz dystroficznych na podłożu torfowym. Polsce należą do grupy zbiorowisk bardzo słabo zbadanych. W 2014 r. na terenie Słowińskiego Parku Narodowego zbiorowiska z klasy Utricularietea intermedio-minoris zostały stwierdzone w dystroficznym zbiorniku wodnym koło miejscowości Gać. Są to: Sparganietum minimi (współrzędne geograficzne 54°69’05,65’’ N, 17°50’40,42’’ E) oraz Scorpidio-Utricularietum minoris (współrzędne geograficzne 54°69’06,52’’ N, 17°50’50,29’’ E).

Theory-based digital intervention to promote weight loss and weight loss maintenance (Choosing Health)
2020
IntroductionDigital behavioural weight loss interventions have the potential to improve public health; however, these interventions are often not adequately tailored to the needs of the participants. This is the protocol for a trial that aims to determine the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of the Choosing Health programme as a means to promote weight loss and weight loss maintenance among overweight/obese adults.Methods and analysisThe proposed study is a two-group randomised controlled trial with a nested interrupted time series (ITS) within-person design. Participants (n=285) will be randomly assigned to either the Choosing Health digital intervention or a control group. For interve…
Militarization of Security Policies in Central and Eastern Europe
2023
Pawłuszko explains the process of militarization of security policies in the CEE region since the Crimea Crisis. According to the Copenhagen School, he focuses on reconstruction of the Central-Eastern European Security Complex and draws attention to the changes in military policies of states in the region. Pawłuszko explores theoretical implications, as well as practical consequences of the NATO-Russia rivalry on the “eastern flank” of Europe. The chapter concludes with a study of perspectives on geopolitical agenda of the CEE region.
"Moskiewski pachołek" versus "polski patriota". Niepubliczne opinie o generale Wojciechu Jaruzelskim z lat 1981-1982
2016
Opinie o generale Wojciechu Jaruzelskim uzależnione są od stosunku zainteresowanych do wydarzeń z lat osiemdziesiątych XX w., a szczególnie do okoliczności wprowadzenia i przebiegu stanu wojennego. Wiele ocen pozostaje do dnia dzisiejszego niedostępnych dla opinii publicznej. Są to między innymi dokumenty dyplomatyczne, w których oceny generała Jaruzelskiego były diametralnie różnymi od tych, które prezentowano opinii publicznej. Z generałem łączono wiele nadziei na zapobieżenie bezpośredniego, tzn. militarnego zaangażowania się ZSRR w sprawy polskie. Nierzadko padało określenie „polski patriota”. Pozytywnie oceniano jego postawę w lipcu 1981 r., a także intencje związane z wprowadzeniem st…
Genetic predisposition to male breast cancer in Poland
2021
Abstract Background Breast cancer in men accounts for fewer than 1 % of all breast cancer cases diagnosed in men and women. Genes which predispose to male breast cancer include BRCA1 and BRCA2. The role of other genes is less clear. In Poland, 20 founder mutations in BRCA1, BRCA2, CHEK2, PALB2, NBN, RECQL are responsible for the majority of hereditary breast cancer cases in women, but the utility this genes panel has not been tested in men. Methods We estimated the prevalence of 20 alleles in six genes (BRCA1, BRCA2, CHEK2, PALB2, NBN, RECQL) in 165 Polish male breast cancer patients. We compared the frequency of selected variants in male breast cancer cases and controls. Results One of the…
The combined role of biomarkers and interim PET scan in prediction of treatment outcome in classical Hodgkin's lymphoma: a retrospective, European, m…
2016
BACKGROUND: Early-interim fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG)-PET scan after two ABVD (doxorubicin, bleomycin, vinblastine, and dacarbazine) chemotherapy courses (PET-2) represents the most effective predictor of treatment outcome in classical Hodgkin's lymphoma. We aimed to assess the predictive value of PET-2 combined with tissue biomarkers in neoplastic and microenvironmental cells for this disease.METHODS: We enrolled 208 patients with classical Hodgkin's lymphoma and treated with ABVD (training set), from Jan 1, 2002, to Dec 31, 2009, and validated the results in a fully matched independent cohort of 102 patients with classical Hodgkin's lymphoma (validation set), enrolled from Jan 1, 2008, to De…
The Location of an International Logistics Center in Poland as a Part of the One Belt One Road Initiative
2019
Wstęp: Inicjatywa Jednego Pasa i Drogi otwiera wiele możliwości rozwoju dla krajów Europy Środkowo-Wschodniej. Niektóre z nich są związane z możliwością budowy centrum logistycznego w tym rejonie. Dla Polski taka inwestycja przyniosłaby wiele korzyści, nie tylko z powodu rozwoju infrastruktury, ale także z tytułu przyśpieszenia wzrostu gospodarczego i tworzenia nowych miejsc pracy. W tym kontekście kluczowa staje się rola i lokalizacja takiego centrum logistycznego. Ze względu na nowość zagadnienia, zauważa się znaczny niedobór artykułów naukowych związanych z tą kwestią. Celem naukowym niniejszego artykułu jest wypełnienie istniejącej luki, określenie roli jaką powinno spełniać polskie cen…
The location of an international logistics center in Poland as a part of The One Belt One Road Initiative
2019
Background: The One Belt One Road initiative opens up many development opportunities for Central and Eastern European countries, some related to the possible construction of a logistics center in this area. For Poland, such an investment would also bring many benefits, not only due to infrastructure development, but also through acceleration of economic growth and job creation. In this context, the crucial issue becomes, what should be the role of an international logistics center and where should it be located. Due to the novelty of the subject, there is a shortcoming of scientific papers related to this issue. The scientific goal of the present paper is to fulfill the gap and to address …
