Introduction Cardiovascular diseases are one of the most important causes of the morbidity and mortality in the Polish and European population, accounting for nearly half of the causes of death. Prevention and treatment of cardiovascular diseases, especially in view of the predicted increase in mortality rate as a result of these diseases in the aging populations is crucial. The aim To characterize selected psychological risk factors that predispose to the development of cardiovascular disease.

Review and disscusion Numerous scientific studies indicate the importance of mental and psychosocial factors in the prevention, treatment and rehabilitation patients with cardiovascular diseases. In this article the most important psychological risk factors, such as Type A and D personality, stress, depression and depressed mood, anxiety, social support and lifestyle are presented.

Conclusions Population-focused programs devoted to health promotion and informing the general public about the risk factors for cardiovascular diseases should mainly aim at improving people's lifestyle, in particular with regard to nutrition, smoking, alcohol consumption, physical activity and mental well-being.

Competition among health care institutions is growing, patients' health awareness and expectations regarding the quality of health services are increasing. This translates directly into, among others, to the patient's choice of medical facility. "Satisfaction" defined as "general satisfaction accompanying the consumption of products or services" is an important aspect affecting the position of a healthcare institution on the health services market. www.selleckchem.com/HIF.html While in the hospital, the patient carefully observes and remembers many details of behaviors and reactions he encounters. Opinions of patients about a medical facility are usually subjective and relate mainly to satisfaction with the treatment process, therefore the lack of proper care in terms of patients' needs may result in the loss of the hospital's reputation. A very important aspect of the assessment of any medical service is the direct relationship between the patient and medical staff, mainly nurse. Among the factors affecting the level of patient satisfaction during a hospital stay are, inter alia, the availability of a doctor, nursing care, conditions in the ward, the possibility of patient participation in the treatment process, providing the patient with information in a clear and reliable manner, and improved health. Factors related to nursing care that have the greatest impact on the patient's level of satisfaction comprise the nurse's individual approach to the patient, time devoted to him, providing professional information, patient education and scrupulous nursing activities. The aim The aim of the paper was to assess the role of perioperative nursing care in the satisfaction of patients after hip and knee joint replacements.Arthrosis as osteoarthritis is a global problem that affects more and more people and is associated with severe chronic pain, reduced mobility and, consequently, disability. The etiology of degenerative disease is complex and depends on many factors. However, its course was not fully understood. One of the factors affecting the development of arthrosis is obesity. Obesity is a growing problem. Over the past 30 years, the number of overweight people has almost doubled. In people suffering from obesity, whose body mass index is above 30kg/m2, the risk of developing degenerative changes in articular cartilage is six times higher than the risk of developing this disease in people with normal body weight. Osteoarthritis is detected when the symptoms get worse where the changes are already at some stage. Therefore, a lot of research is currently underway to find suitable biomarkers, which would indicate the potential development of degenerative changes in the future and at the same time the possibility of inhibiting their activity. One of them may be adipokines, which are synthesized by adipose tissue and affect cartilage. In obese people, adipokines may contribute to the inflammation of the low charterer, whichaccompanies both obesity and arthrosis. These compounds can be specific biomarkers to assess the degree of progression and severity of osteoarthritis. The aim To assess the importance of obesity and adipokines produced by adipose tissue as specific markers of arthrosis.
Introduction The last 20 years have been a period of huge changes in Polish healthcare, both in terms of medical progress as well as organization and financing. These changes, and especially the newly introduced queuing systems significantly influenced the changes in the profile of hospital admission.
