[Prevalence of pericardial effusion in subjects with rheumatoid arthritis: an echocardiographic study].
1994
We used echocardiography to determine the prevalence of pericardial effusion in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients without cardiac systems and compared our results to those obtained in a control group of age-matched subjects. Thirty-six patients with RA (6 men, 30 women; mean age 51 +/- 11 years) were selected from a patient population in treatment at our outpatient Rheumatology Clinic. None of the patients had any symptoms of cardiac disease, and all patients with signs and/or systems of extracardiac disease were excluded from the study. The control group consisted of 60 volunteers (mean age 51 +/- 12 years) randomly selected from a larger group of subjects with neither symptoms, signs and…
Microproteinuria as an index of initial renal lesion in patients with rheumatoid arthritis.
1990
Our investigation included 20 patients with rheumatoid arthritis and a negative routine (albustix) proteinuria test, and 20 healthy controls. The albustix test was compared with a method based on multifractional Cellogel RS electrophoresis of urinary proteins. The albustix test was found to be not reliable in patients with RA. Microproteinuria was in fact detected by the electrophoresis method in 12 out of 20 RA patients. Eleven patients showed glomerular type proteinuria (which was "selective" in 5 patients and "non-selective" in 6 patients), and 1 patient showed mixed type proteinuria. Electrophoresis failed to show microproteinuria in the controls. The high sensitivity, easy handling and…

O zagrożeniu wypaleniem zawodowym nauczycieli wczesnej edukacji
2018
Nauczyciele stanowią jedną z tych grup zawodowych, które poddane są szczególnej kontroli społecznej, co ma związek z charakterem wykonywanej pracy. Odpowiedzialność za kształcenie i wychowanie przyszłych pokoleń, chęć sprostania oczekiwaniom rodziców a także wymaganiom stawianym przez nadzór pedagogiczny stwarza sytuację, w której osoby mniej odporne na stres narażone są ha różne konsekwencje. Od osób wykonujących zawód nauczyciela zawsze wymagano wiele. Poza niezbędnymi kompetencjami merytorycznymi, metodycznymi, psychologicznymi czy społecznymi, oczekiwano mądrości życiowej, odpowiedzialności, autentyczności, zaangażowania, poświęcenia, altruizmu, kreatywności i wielu innych cech sprzyjaj…
