Physicochemical Properties of Thermal Brines from Wołczyn in Opole Silesia (SW Poland) as a Determinant of the Method of Their use in Preventive Phys…
2018
Wołczyn to miasto leżące w województwie opolskim na Nizinie Śląskiej, w obrębie Monokliny Przedsudeckiej. Na terenie tym występuje ujęcie mineralnej solanki termalnej „Wołczyn VII A”, która kwalifikuje się do wykorzystania w profilaktyce i lecznictwie. Ze względu na brak w regionie ośrodków balneologicznych, istnieje zapotrzebowanie na rozwój tego typu form wykorzystania tworzyw balneologicznych. Zastosowanie solanek z Wołczyna w celach profilaktyczno-leczniczych, rekreacyjnych jak również jako tężnie, stwarza perspektywy nowej strategii w polityce zdrowotnej Śląska Opolskiego.
Comparison of modified Bass, Fones and normal tooth brushing technique for the efficacy of plaque control in young adults- A randomized clinical trial
2019
Background To compare the anti plaque efficacy of Modified Bass, Fones and Normal brushing techniques in young adults. Material and methods An investigator blinded randomized controlled trial with parallel design was adopted to compare the anti plaque efficacy of three tooth brushing techniques. The study population consisted of 120 dental students aged between 18 and 30 years. Results At the baseline, the mean plaque scores were 0.74 ± 0.39, 0.77 ± 0.34 and 0.98 ± 0.36 respectively, for Modified Bass, Fones and Normal brushing technique. After 24 hours without any oral hygiene activity, the plaque scores increased to 1.04 ± 0.30, 1.11 ± 0.32 and 1.21 ± 0.40, respectively. After 1 week of u…
Video display terminal use and dry eye: preventive measures and future perspectives
2022
Background: Dry eye disease (DED) is a common cause of ocular pain and discomfort. Dry eye disease (DED) stems from a loss-of-tear film homeostasis and is frequently seen in video display terminal (VDT) users. Video display terminal (VDT) use reduces blink rates and increases incomplete blinks, leading to tear film instability and ocular inflammation, promoting DED. Purpose: To assess and evaluate the methods for preventing VDT-associated DED and ocular discomfort. Methods: Studies were found using PubMed and Embase with the search terms: (digital visual terminal* OR computer use OR screen use OR smartphone OR display OR visual display terminal* OR computer vision syndrome OR tablet OR phon…
Calcium Pre-Rinse: Effect on permeability of dentin tubules by fluoride rinse
2019
Background The aim of this study was to evaluate whether calcium (CaL) solution would enhance the capacity of sodium fluoride (NaF) solution in reducing the permeability of hypersensitive dentin. Material and Methods Thirty-two Wistar rats ingested for 45 days acidic isotonic drink (Gatorade, pH 2.7) ad libitum to induce dental erosion. Then, molar teeth received a cold stimulus to confirm the presence and score the intensity of dentin hypersensitivity based on body contraction and noise. Animals were allocated to four groups (n=8), according to the solution(s) applied in the oral cavity: NaF (12 mmol/L, 1 min); CaL (150 mmol/L, 1 min); CaL followed by NaF (CaF+NaF, 1 min each); distilled w…
Moving from intention to behaviour: a randomised controlled trial protocol for an app-based physical activity intervention (i2be).
2022
IntroductionEfficacy tests of physical activity interventions indicate that many have limited or short-term efficacy, principally because they do not sufficiently build on theory-based processes that determine behaviour. The current study aims to address this limitation.Methods and analysisThe efficacy of the 8-week intervention will be tested using a three-condition randomised controlled trial delivered through an app, in women with a prior hypertensive pregnancy disorder. The intervention is based on the integrated behaviour change model, which outlines the motivational, volitional and automatic processes that lead to physical activity. The mechanisms by which the behaviour change techniq…

What lies behind punishment. First approaches to the study of the relationship between the criminal justice and the prison
2017
La justicia penal tiene un vínculo en apariencia estrecho con la prisión. Es que constituye la respuesta preponderante y más utilizada frente a los conflictos que llegan a su conocimiento. Esto, ya sea a través de la aplicación de una pena en sentido estricto o bajo la modalidad del encierro preventivo. Este trabajo intenta problematizar este escenario a través de un acercamiento empírico que indicaría que, en rigor de verdad, la justicia penal ha consolidado una distancia tal con la prisión con secuelas concretas a la hora de abordar los problemas estructurales de la cárcel. Desde ese lugar, invita a reflexionar sobre la necesidad de que los operadores jurídicos –los integrantes de la just…
The Future of Health / Fitness / Sports Performance
2017
O exercício relativo à saúde / aptidão física e desempenho esportivo tem mostrado um papel evolutivo ao longo do tempo. São apresentados fatores primários de grande escala, que provavelmente nos ajudarão a entender o caminho evolutivo futuro da saúde / aptidão física e desempenho esportivo. Esses fatores incluem: 1) a história do exercício, 2) o exercício em sua relação com a saúde, 3) a necessidade de aptidão física entre os militares e os socorristas, 4) a relação conflitante entre o esporte (representando o ápice da capacidade genômica humana para o exercício) versus a natureza excessivamente competitiva e compensada do esporte. Predominantemente, a necessidade de exercício como medicina…
Mediterranean diet impact on cardiovascular diseases: a narrative review
2017
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) accounts for more than 17 million deaths per year worldwide. It has been estimated that the influence of lifestyle on CVD mortality amounts to 13.7% for smoking, 13.2% for poor diet, and 12% for inactive lifestyle. These results deeply impact both the healthy status of individuals and their skills in working. The impact of CVD on productivity loss accounts for the 24% in total costs for CVD management. Mediterranean diet (MedD) can positively impact on natural history of CVD. It is characterized by a relatively high consumption of inexpensive and genuine food such as cereals, vegetables, legumes, nuts, fish, fresh fruits, and olive oil as the principal source of…
