(Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Rzeszowskiego, 2020) Pardak, Piotr; Pękala, Anna; Jarmakiewicz, Sara; Filip, Rafał
Introduction. The epidemic of obesity has led to an increase in the occurrence of obstructive sleep apnea and gastro-esophageal reflux disease. The mechanism of development of gastro-esophageal reflux disease is multifactorial, and studies conducted in the last decade have shed new light on the causes of its development in patients with sleep apnea and obesity. Aim. The aim of the study was to discuss the mechanism of development of gastro-esophageal reflux disease is multifactorial, and studies conducted in the last decade have shed new light on the causes of its development in patients with sleep apnea and obesity and the dysfunction of the lower esophageal sphincter. Material and methods. An analysis of literature regarding gastro-esophageal reflux and obstructive sleep apnea. Results. In obstructive sleep apnea and obesity, high levels of cytokines and insulin resistance are observed, resulting in disorders in the levels of ghrelin – a hormone responsible for normal gastrointestinal motility. Conclusion. The effect of deviations in the ghrelin profile on the development of gastro-esophageal reflux disease remains a matter for further research.
Macro and micronutrient deficiency in inflammatory bowel diseases
(Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Rzeszowskiego, 2017) Jarmakiewicz, Sara; Piątek, Dominika; Filip, Rafał
Introduction. Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is group of global range inflammatory conditions. There has been a regular increase in the number of IBD cases. Patients exclude whole food groups from their diet fearing the emergence of disease symptoms or due to learning from unreliable sources. Doing so, they might deepen the already existing vitamin deficiencies which occur along with the shortage of many minerals. These deficiencies might intensify the disease process or cause a new one. The most common deficits pointed out by numerous researchers concern vitamin D, calcium, cobalamin, folic acid and iron. It is well worth introducing selenium, zinc and ascorbic acid into a diet because of their immunomodulating effect. Important aspect of the healing process is a personalized diet which is designed to compensate for, or prevent vitamin and mineral deficiencies. Aim. The purpose of the study was to review the literature about vitamin and mineral deficiency in Inflammatory Bowel Diseases. Materials and method. Analysis of literature.

Introduction. Healthy nutrition is very important during pregnancy for both a baby and a mother. Modification of metabolic and hormonal processes i.e. metabolic programming occurs already at the prenatal stage. This process significantly affects the baby’s health and eating habits at a later age. The diet of a pregnant woman should supplement the demand for energy, nutrients, vitamins and minerals. An expecting woman needs to also avoid products that are contraindicated during this period, such as raw milk, eggs or meat. Aim. Assessment of nutritional behavior of pregnant women from the Podkarpacie province. Materials and method. 228 women living in the Podkarpackie province were enrolled in the study. Surveys were collected via the Internet. An anonymous questionnaire developed by the authors was used. Results. Women’s eating habits are primarily influenced by education. Most women had knowledge about proper nutrition and awareness of its impact on the health of the baby. A worrying fact was a very low intake of dairy products. 44% of women consumed dairy products only once a day. Fruit and vegetables consumption was also low (40% of the respondents ate only from 100 to 200 g during the day). Conclusions. Although part of the eating habits of pregnant women is correct, nutritional education should be introduced in this group, especially related to the adequate supply of dairy products, fruit and vegetables to supplement the necessary vitamins, minerals and protein.
Risk factors and the incidence of overweight and obesity in pre-school children from the southern part of Poland
(Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Rzeszowskiego, 2018) Dereń, Katarzyna; Jarmakiewicz, Sara; Sokal, Aneta; Łuszczki, Edyta; Motyka, Elżbieta; Wyszyńska, Justyna; Kowal, Regina; Mazur, Artur
Introduction. In recent years there has been a significant increase in the prevalence of overweight and obesity in humans. It turns out that the problem is not limited to adults; excessive body weight is occurring in children more often. Aim. The main purpose of this work was to determine the prevalence of overweight and obesity in preschool children from the Rzeszów district, and to determine risk factors for occurrence. Materials and survey method. The study was conducted among 200 preschool children (3 - 6 years of age) from the Rzeszów poviat area. Measurements of height, weight, and determination of BMI were performed and these values are standardized according to the WHO centile grids appropriate for each age group. Survey results. Normal weight was observed in 58% of the respondents, 11% were overweight, and 10.5% were obese, whereas 20.5% of children had undernourishment. Obese children were the largest group among 6-year-olds. Among 4 year old children, abnormal body weight were more frequent in boys. On the other hand, in children aged 5 years, undernourishment or overweight was found more frequently in girls. Conclusions. The study did not confirm a significant relationship between gender, place of residence and socio-economic situation of respondents, and the prevalence of overweight or obesity. The results of this study indicate that the problem of excessive body weight refers to the increasing number of children.
The influence of oxalate decarboxylase on the urinary oxalate excretion in swine model of nephrocalcinosis induced by hydroxyproline
(Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Rzeszowskiego, 2017) Pierzynowska, Kateryna; Pierzynowski, Stefan Grzegorz ; Lozinska, Liudamyla; Jarmakiewicz, Sara; Świeboda, Paulina; Fedkiv, Olexandr; Szwiec, Katarzyna; Valverde Piedra, Jose Louis; Filip, Rafał
Introduction. Kidney stone formation may be a result of increased urinary oxalate supersaturation. Material and Methods. Eighteen pigs were randomly divided into: Control group, where standard cereal-based feed was supplemented with 4% HP only, Prevention group, where treatment with OxDc slurry started at the end of the adaptation period when pigs were switched to 4% HP diet, Reduction group, where the treatment with OxDc lyo powder started after pigs were already on a 4% HP diet for 6 days. Results. OxDc slurry prevented oxalate excretion in urine. The reduction effect of OxDc lyo feed addition was generally visible during the first two days of the therapy (p<0.05). Both dietary intake of 4% HP and OxDc preparations did not influence weight gain, water or feed intake, urine excretion and creatinine clearance. Conclusions. The capacity of OxDc in preventing induced hyperoxaluria was moderate. Most probably, this is due to the incoherent response of animals to the HP enriched diet dependent on their gut pH, since optimum pH for OxDc is around 5-6. A higher pH essentially reduces the activity of OxDc. The capacity of OxDc in reversing the hyperoxaluria induced by a HP enriched diet was significant during the first 2 days after introducing OxDc to the diet.
