To Receive

Research team of physicians and lab technicians under Izrael Milejkowski’s direction undertook the effort to carry out a series of clinical and biochemical experiments on patients dying of starvation in the Warsaw ghetto so as to receive the fullest possible picture of hunger disease. The research was carried out according to all the rigors of strict scientific discipline, and the authors during their work on academic articles, published it after the war entitled: „Starvation disease: hunger research carried out in the Warsaw ghetto in 1942,” according to their own words, they “supplemented the gap in accordance with the progress of knowledge.” The article is devoted to the reflections over ethical dilemmas of the research team, who were forced in their work to perform numerous medical treatments of experimental nature on extremely exhausted patients. The ill, according to Dr Fajgenblat’s words,“demonstrated negativism toward the research and treatment, which extremely hindered the work, and sometimes even frustrated it.” The article attempts to look at the monumental research work of the Warsaw ghetto doctors as a special kind of response of the medical profession to the feeling of helplessness to the dying patients. The article analyzes the situation of Warsaw ghetto doctors, who undertook the research without support of any outer authority, which could settle their possible ethical dilemmas (Polish deontological codes, European discussions on the conditions of the admissibility of medical research on patients, etc.).

Candidiasis Treatment

The high frequency of occurrence of candidiasis as well as high mortality of patients with immunosuppression cause a tendency toward better understanding of Candida albicans species virulence factors and developing sensitive and specific diagnostic methods, and appropriate strategies of candidiasis treatment. In recent decades the incidence of fungal infections has alarming increases because of advanced medical treatments. In this study was analyzed possible ultrastructural changes of the species C. albicans cells following treatment with sodium diclofenac at various concentrations. Following treatment of C. albicans cells with sodium diclofenac 1 mM and 2 mM changes in the plasmalemma can be noticed, changes in the density of cell wall, disruption and necrotic appearance of the cytoplasm.
