(Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Rzeszowskiego, 2019) Leksa, Natalia; Aebisher, David; Galiniak, Sabina; Uberman-Kluz, Dominika; Bartosz, Seweryn; Bartusik-Aebisher, Dorota
Introduction. Adrenoleukodystrophy is a genetic disorder linked to the X chromosome, in which the peroxisomal beta-oxidation process is disturbed. It is a metabolic disease that results in the accumulation of very long chain fatty acids (VLCFAs - very long chain fatty acids) responsible for the symptoms of damage to the adrenal cortex, gonads and the brain. Aim. A clinical case is reported. Description of case. This article describes the case of a 64-year-old woman who had neurological symptoms for many years, gradually increasing without significant improvement after the treatment (periodic steroid therapy). Conclusion. Based on tests (including the determination of the ABCD1 gene and very long chain fatty acids - VLCFA), adrenoleukodystrophy was suspected.
Fibromuscular dysplasia – a case description
(Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Rzeszowskiego, 2018) Leksa, Natalia; Seweryn, Bartosz; Uberman-Kluz, Dominika; Galiniak, Sabina; Kawalec, Magdalena
Introduction. Fibromuscular dysplasia is an idiopathic, non-inflammatory and non-atherosclerotic disease that affects the walls of arteries (mostly renal and carotid arteries). Histological classification distinguishes three main types of the disease, depending on the structural changes occurring in one of the three layers of arterial vessel walls. Objective. We present here a case of fibromuscular dysplasia affecting the internal carotid arteries. Case description. This article describes the case of a 52-year-old female patient with hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and a cardiac pacemaker in whom computed tomography angiography revealed a narrowing of the internal carotid arteries without atherosclerotic symptoms. We describe the diagnostic methods and various types of treatment that the patient suffering from fibromuscular dysplasia was subjected to. Conclusions. Due to a low detection rate of fibromuscular dysplasia, if the disease is suspected, all available diagnostic methods should be employed. Taking into account the unknown etiology of the disease, it is not possible to use a preventive therapy, or a therapy focused on stalling the progression of the disease.
Rapidly progressing dementia as a manifestation of the Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease: an analysis of two cases
(Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Rzeszowskiego, 2019) Bartosz, Seweryn; Leksa, Natalia; Uberman-Kluz, Dominika; Szymczak, Artur; Biesiadecki, Marek; Galiniak, Sabina
Introduction. Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) is a rare and fatal neurodegenerative disease of the central nervous system which is caused by an infectious protein called prion. Multiple forms of CJD have been classified including sporadic (more than 90% cases), familial, iatrogenic and variant type of disease. CJD, especially in its early stages, is a highly challenging illness to diagnose. Aim. Article aims to present cases of Creutzfeldt-Jackob disease with early symptoms of rapidly progressing dementia at the initial stage of CJD. Description of the cases. This paper describes two cases of patients with suspected CJD with a history of rapidly progressive dementia admitted to the Department of Neurology, MSWiA Hospital in Rzeszów. Conclusion. Despite the fact that CJD is an incurable illness and there is no cure guaranteeing recovery, it is important to make the right diagnosis. Assay of 14-3-3 protein in cerebrospinal fluid is a sensitive and specific marker which is helpful in the diagnosis of CJD. The only relevant method of correctly confirming a diagnosis of this disease is by performing a brain biopsy.
Styl życia zdrowotnego a radzenie sobie z problemami studentów kierunków nauczycielskich z różnym poziomem samooceny
(Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Rzeszowskiego, 2019) Kirenko, Janusz; Uberman-Kluz, Dominika
Przebadano 197 studentów kierunków nauczycielskich, w tym 175 kobiet (88,83%) i 22 mężczyzn (11,17%). Wiek badanych mieścił się w przedziale od 19 do 42 lat ze średnią na poziomie 24,93 roku. Byli to studenci pedagogiki, filologii angielskiej i germańskiej oraz pedagogiki przedszkolnej i wczesnoszkolnej z dwóch uczelni: Uniwersytetu Marii Curie-Skłodowskiej w Lublinie i Wyższej Szkoły Ekonomii i Innowacji w Lublinie. Badanie przeprowadzono za pomocą Kwestionariusza Diagnostycznego „Mój Styl Życia” (LSQ – Cavendish), Kwestionariusza COPE (COPE – Carver, Scheier, Weintraub) i Skali Samooceny (SES – Rosenberg). Uzyskano specyficzną strukturę związków wybranych zmiennych: zależnej stylu życia zdrowotnego, niezależnej radzenia sobie z problemami i moderującej samooceny. Uwypuklano te, które mają znaczne oparcie w empirii. Zastosowana regresja wieloraka umożliwiła przyjęcie w miarę precyzyjnych charakterystyk otrzymanych związków pretendujących do miana autonomicznych wniosków.
