Oxidative stress parameters in women and men with suicidal thoughts and following a suicide attempt
Redox biomarkers TOS and OSI could prove valuable in diagnosing women at a genuine risk of committing suicide. On the other hand, antioxidant parameters - SOD, GPx, and GSH may be instrumental in identifying patients with suicidal behaviors, without specifying their intensity
Premenstrual syndrome
Premenstrual syndrome (PMS) is a common disorder affecting women of reproductive age, with an estimated global prevalence of 47.8%, with severe symptoms occurring in 3-8%, significantly affecting daily functioning. GABA conductance and changes in neurosteroid levels, particularly allopregnanolone, are suspected to play a substantial role in the disorder's etiology. In this paper, we provide an overview of recent reports on the etiology and recogn…
Impact of pregnancy/childbirth on dispositional optimism in the context of risk of depression, mental health status and satisfaction with life

Zuranolone – synthetic neurosteroid in treatment of mental disorders
With each passing year, the number of people suffering from mental disorders grows at a disturbing speed. Neuroactive steroids are a new promising group of drugs with the potential for use in many diseases like postpartum depression, postnatal psychosis, major depression, insomnia, bipolar disorder, and Parkinson's tremor, due to their ability to modulate the activity of GABA A receptor. Neurosteroids are progesterone metabolites that are synthes…
The Effect of Neoglandin on the Activity of N-Acetyl-β-D-Hexosaminidase in the Serum and Urine of Alcohol-Dependent Men
Neoglandin supplementation in alcoholic men significantly slows down the catabolism of glycoconjugates, thus reducing the effects of ethanol poisoning that are harmful to the kidneys. Neoglandin reduces the harmful effects of ethanol poisoning more on the kidneys than on the liver. The activity of HEX in the serum may be used in monitoring the treatment of alcoholism and whether alcohol reuse occurred during the therapy. In the early stages of al…
Impact of the Pandemic on Selected Aspects of Health-Promoting Attitudes in 2020–2021
Introduction In the face of the COVID-19 pandemic, people began to change both their health-promoting and anti-health behaviors. Aim of the Paper To assess the impact of the pandemic on selected health-promoting attitudes. Methods The cross-sectional study was conducted from March 2020 to September 2021. We have used the author's survey questionnaire and the standardized Wellness Behaviors Inventory (WBI). The questionnaires were given to respond…
Selected Aspects of the Mental Functioning of Women After Childbirth in a Hospital During a Pandemic
Introduction The COVID-19 pandemic is stressful for pregnant women, their families, and their unborn baby. Aim of the Study The study aimed to assess the impact of a pandemic on the mental state of women after childbirth. Material and Methods The study included 363 women hospitalized after delivery. The study used a diagnostic survey method using the proprietary questionnaire and the Family Affluence Scale (FAS), Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Sc…
The Effect of the Non-compressed Oxygen Therapy and Hyperbaric Oxygenation in Combination With Standardized Drug Therapy on the Blood Acid-Base State Biomarkers in Alcohol Withdrawal Syndrome, an Expe…
In alcohol withdrawal syndrome (AWS), pathophysiological mechanisms cover acid-base disturbances that affect the clinical picture of this state. An earlier study found that oxygen therapy methods in combination with pharmacotherapy improved the cognitive state in persons suffering from AWS. As impairments in the acid-base state influence the general health, timely and effective correction of these acid-base disturbances could result in a potentia…
Well-Being at Home During Forced Quarantine Amid the Covid-19 Pandemic
Most respondents considered infection with COVID-19 to be a major threat and feared another quarantine. During quarantine, respondents most often experienced fatigue, a lack of energy, nervousness, anxiety, anger, and sadness. Despite demonstrating anxiety, stress, and depression with severity in the normal range, respondents showed no statistically significant correlation between severity and age, gender, place of residence, or level of educatio…
The Influence of the Covid-19 Pandemic on Women’s Feelings during a Hospital Stay
Introduction: The COVID-19 (coronavirus disease 2019) affected individuals and society and caused disruption, anxiety, stress, and loneliness. Being hospitalized during the pandemic increase a patient's negative feelings. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on patients' feelings (loneliness, depression, hope, self-efficacy) during a hospital stay. Materials and methods: This study included 207 women, aged from 15 to 8…
Risk Assessment of Depression amongst Women during Menopause before and during the Covid-19 Pandemic
During menopause, the risk of depression is 2-5 times greater than pre- or post-menopause. To assess the risk of depression amongst menopausal women in 2006, compared with 2021 (i.e., during the COVID-19 pandemic), we recruited female volunteers at least 40 years old to complete the menopause rating scale (MRS), the Blatt-Kupperman menopausal index (BKMI), and the Beck depression inventory. Compared with 2006, in 2021, the number of participants …
Serum Amyloid Biomarkers, Tau Protein and YKL-40 Utility in Detection, Differential Diagnosing, and Monitoring of Dementia
Introduction: The diagnosis and treatment of dementia is one of the greatest challenges in contemporary health care. The widespread use of dementia biomarkers would improve the quality of life of patients and reduce the economic costs of the disease. The aim of the study was to evaluate the usefulness of proteins related to the Alzheimer's disease pathogenesis-amyloid beta isoform (Aβ) and total tau protein (t-tau), as well as the quite recently …
First-Time Psychotic Symptoms in a Patient After Covid-19 Infection—A Case Report
A 39-year-old, previously healthy, white male with no personal or family history of mental illness presented with new, first-time psychotic symptoms. The new psychotic symptoms appeared on patient admission to the hospital, occurring during a diagnosis of symptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infection. On the first day of hospitalization for worsening psychotic symptoms and the appearance of aggression toward the staff, the patient was transferred to the psych…
Type D Personality, Stress Level, Life Satisfaction, and Alcohol Dependence in Older Men
Alcohol consumption among older adults is becoming an increasing public health problem due to the rapidly growing elderly population. There is a theory that Type D personality is positively correlated with alcohol dependence. The study aimed to assess the style of coping with stress, emotions and anxiety in elder men addicted to alcohol and the relationship between the above. The study included 170 men aged 60 years and older (mean age - 63 ± 3.1…
Oxidative Stress Biomarkers as a Predictor of Stage Illness and Clinical Course of Schizophrenia
Pro/antioxidant imbalance has been reported in schizophrenia (SZ). However, the results of studies are inconsistent and usually do not include other factors that are highly affected by oxidative stress (OS).This cross-sectional study aimed to determine the serum levels of OS markers and their potential connection with schizophrenia. The total sample comprised 147: 98 individuals with SZ -47 first-episode (FS) and 49 chronic patients (CS)-and 49 h…
Association of MIR137 With Symptom Severity and Cognitive Functioning in Belarusian Schizophrenia Patients
MicroRNA-137 (miRNA-137; miR-137) is one of the important post-transcriptional regulators of the nervous system development, and its MIR137 gene rs1625579 polymorphism was reported to be a potential regulator for schizophrenia susceptibility. However, schizophrenia characteristics controlled by MIR137 rs1625579 polymorphism are still insufficiently understood. There were 3 groups included in the study: (a) subjects with diagnosis of schizophrenia…
Can we better prevent binge drinking
Mounting evidence of an accelerating binge drinking problem has received considerable media attention in recent years.1 2 Binge drinking occurs on a third of drinking occasions.1 In their article, Herring and colleagues2 explored a confused concept of the binge drinking term. Although a number of alternative terms are used to describe the binge drinking phenomenon, the term single drinking session leading to intoxication has become widely used ov…
