The use of physiotherapy in therapy of an oncological patient may reduce the risk of appearance of unwanted complications and bring relief during and after treatment. During rehabilitation the physiotherapist can use various methods, including classic massage, interactive video games, dance, neuromobilization, cycling, jogging or Graded Motor Imagery. CONCLUSIONS Physical activity undertaken by children with each type of cancer during and shortly after treatment has a positive effect on the development of all motor skills, without increasing the risk of death. No adverse effects have been observed. The physiotherapist in the rehabilitation process focuses mainly on improving the quality of motor skills, gait pattern, reducing pain and training of basic everyday activities. However, there is still a lack of a consistent protocol for assessing physical activity in young patients with cancer. selleck © 2020 MEDPRESS.Thyroid hormones regulate numerous metabolic processes. Therefore, any alteration in their synthesis or function has important health implications. However, limited data are available regarding the relationship between thyroid hormone imbalance and periodontal health. AIM The aim of the study was to perform a comparative analysis of qualitative and quantitative structure of oral microbiocenosis in rats with comorbidity-free periodontitis and in animals with periodontitis in a setting of hyper- and hypothyroidism. MATERIALS AND METHODS Inbred white male rats (n=48) were randomly divided into the following groups I - control animals, II - animals with a model of periodontitis, III - rats with periodontitis in a setting of hyperthyroidism, IV - rats with periodontitis in a setting of hypothyroidism. Samples for microbiological investigations were taken from dental surfaces (on the border between hard tissue and gums in the interdental spaces). The isolated pure cultures were identified by their morphological, tiocenosis in case of experimental periodontitis. © 2020 MEDPRESS.Over 3 mln people in Poland suffer from diabetes out of which 1/3 are undiagnosed. Diabetes is a metabolic disease characterized by the chronic hyperglycaemia resulting from disturbances in insulin secretion and tissue resistance to its action. The most serious clinical problem in the diabetics is periodontal disease since hyperglycaemia influences the disturbance of the immune response and increases the number of periopathogens. AIM The aim of the study was an assessment of the oral health in patients with type 2 diabetes. MATERIALS AND METHODS The study was conducted in the group of 450 people who reported to the selected specialist medical centers at the Rural Medicine Institute. Adult patients from Lublin macroregion were referred to the Department. 153 people among the studied were Diabetic Clinic patients with type 2 diabetes The assessment of the oral health was carried out on the basis of clinical examination included DMFt - the number of teeth with decay (D), the number of teeth removed because of tooth decay (M) or filled (F), index and masticatory function loss index (t). The results are summarized in tables and subjected to statistical analysis. A non- parametric Kruskall-Wallis test was used. RESULTS In the group up to 34 years of age the number of extracted teeth was higher in healthy people. The index of masticatory function loss below 100% was higher in the diabetic patients. CONCLUSIONS Diabetic outpatient clinic patients should receive special dental care and frequent check-ups. © 2020 MEDPRESS.AIM The aim of the study was analyses the relationship between oral health and acute coronary syndrome confirmed by coronary angiography.
