Assessment of the Health Behaviours and Value-Based Health Analysis of People Aged 50+ Who Were Hospitalized Due to Cardiovascular Disease
Respondents aged 50+ and hospitalized for cardiovascular diseases indicated (based on the IHB questionnaire) that health behaviours in the area of 'health practices' had the strongest correlation with their health, while the lowest correlation was found in the areas of 'correct eating habits' and 'preventive behaviours'. According to the respondents, the most important criteria determining health (according to the LHC questionnaire) included 'not…
Patient Satisfaction with Oncological Care during the Sars-CoV-2 Virus Pandemic
Recently, the outbreak of the SARS-CoV-2 virus and the COVID-19 pandemic significantly affected the health situation of the entire society and necessitated reorganization of health care including oncology. The objective of this study was to examine the perception of medical services by cancer patients during the pandemic and to identify the key elements influencing the level of satisfaction with oncological care.

Impact of Time to Initiation of Treatment on the Quality of Life of Women with Breast Cancer
Women diagnosed with breast cancer had a considerably lower overall quality of life. A relatively higher quality of life was experienced by patients who consulted a doctor the earliest after discovering symptoms of the disease and those whose waiting time for treatment was shorter. In a systematic manner, the individual stages of diagnosis should be maximally reduced and breast cancer treatment initiated without delay

The Quality of Life of Seniors Hospitalized Due to Cardiovascular Diseases in Poland
The significant demographic, social and socio-medical factors that determined respondents' quality of life were: age, gender, marital status, education and health situation. The analysis of quality of life according to the SF36v2 Questionnaire showed that the study group functioned better in the mental dimension (MCS-mental component summary, overall mental health) than in the physical one (PCS-physical component summary, total physical health)
Analysis of the Content of Chromium in Certain Parts of the Human Knee Joint
Chromium is an essential microelement in the human body. It exerts an effect on bones by modulating their biochemical parameters: alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP). With considerable accumulation of chromium in the skeleton, the activity of alkaline phosphatase was found to decrease, which affected bone formation rate. The study objective was to analyze chromium content in the knee tissues. Tissues for anal…
The Content of Structural and Trace Elements in the Knee Joint Tissues
Many elements are responsible for the balance in bone tissue, including those which constitute a substantial proportion of bone mass, i.e., calcium, phosphorus and magnesium, as well as minor elements such as strontium. In addition, toxic elements acquired via occupational and environmental exposure, e.g., Pb, are included in the basic bone tissue composition. The study objective was to determine the content of strontium, lead, calcium, phosphoru…
