Introduction and aim. The effect of balneotherapy in the Truskavets Spa on physical working capacity is complex and individ ualized. This study aims to identify an optimal constellation of predictors for the actotropic effects of balneotherapy. Material and methods. We observed 34 men with maladaptation against the background of chronic pyelonephritis in remis sion. We recorded physical working capacity, heart rate variability, electroencephalography, adaptation hormones, and blood and urine metabolites before and after a standardized balneotherapy regimen. Results. Standard balneotherapy resulted in various effects on physical working capacity150 : an increase in 9 patients (26.5%), no significant change in 16 patients (47.1%), and a decrease in 9 patients (26.5%). Through discriminant analysis, we identified a constellation of 25 initial parameters that could predict the nature of the actotropic effect with 100% accuracy. These parameters included measures of physical working capacity, cardiorespiratory fitness, electroencephalography, heart rate variability, hormones, and metabolism. Furthermore, multiple linear regression analysis allowed us to predict quantitative changes in physical work capacity150 with a standard error of 0.28 W/kg. This predictive model incorporated hemodynamic and Electroen cephalography parameters, achieving an adjusted R2 of 0.555. Conclusion. The directionality and magnitude of physical working capacity150 changes under the influence of balneofactors at the Truskavets Spa are determined by a complex constellation of initial physiological parameters, which forms the body’s reactivity. This finding has significant implications for personalizing balneotherapy treatments.
The importance of electroencephalography in the diagnosis of hepatic encephalopathy due to cirrhosis – a case report
(Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Rzeszowskiego, 2022) Fuksa, Katarzyna
Introduction and aim. Hepatic encephalopathy (HE) associated with cirrhosis of the liver is a neuropsychiatric syndrome, with symptoms ranging from barely detectable changes to deep coma. It frequently occurs in the form of episodes and relapses and can be triggered by external factors. HE severity is graded according to the West Haven criteria. The aim of the study is to draw attention to the ever-important and often key role of electroencephalography in the diagnosis of hepatic encephalopathy, even in today’s era of increasingly advanced diagnostic methods. Description of the case. A 57-year-old patient, professionally active at the time, was admitted to the hospital’s Neurology Department on an emergency basis due to difficulties with standing and moving, orientation disorders and limb tremor. Conclusion. While HE pathogenesis is multifactorial, the most important factors include increased brain exposure to ammonia, intestinal dysbiosis, and endotoxemia inducing a systemic inflammatory response. Patient observation, blood laboratory tests, neuropsychological tests and neurophysiological tests (EEG and evoked potentials) play an important role in establishing the diagnosis. Treatment and secondary prevention of hepatic encephalopathy include elimination of triggers and reduction of ammonia production and improvement of its metabolism.
